One of the guys went to UPC senior camp this past year, they said the pastor called him out and told him to sit down because he was taking a lap around the church on about every other line out of the preachers mouth.
But you are right, just as all UPC's churches are not the same, I'm sure not all WPF churches are the same. But you know how it is around here, you belong to an org and you get stereotyped.

Well, I went to a church where the pastor taught that a person should be dancing and shouting every service. However, most of the church went with the flow of the Spirit.
We do not run, dance, and shout during every message either. Some places encourage it, and other places do not. I do believe that there are times and places, and it should not be constantly discouraged. However there are many who need to learn how to walk in the Spirit. It would give that run a bit more meaning.
I must say that I am shocked that some of the statements that I made earlier did not garner any additional remarks.
