The night before we left one of the young ministers from our church met with them. He prayed with them. Our agnostic friend broke down into tears. He said he felt something. I told him that he felt the Holy Spirit.

This guy wasn’t open to attending church at all. We’ve invited him many times. But he can’t deny what he felt. He’s accompanying us to church in the morning.

(The outreach coordinator called while I was typing out this post)
Awesome!

DELETE this thread. I shouldn’t have asked a bunch of strangers online if they are familiar with these churches. I should have called every pastor in the area to discuss every doctrinal stance and standard.

Did I miss something?????.... be more productive with your time and if you call just have a list of your requirements for a church and see if they agree to them rather than having to listen to all their stances lol

It works for me. But, I wouldn’t of moved to an area and then started to figure out where to go. I’d already started my due diligence way prior to my leaving.
But that’s just me. I’m funny like that. Having someone on a forum tell me that Pastor Foofoofnick is a great guy and that the church is awesome would be the opinion of 50 different posters. But the church may be the biggest waste of MY time. Therefore, time better served would be calling people YOU know, and who know YOU, to steer YOU to the place right for YOU. Like the Brother YOU and I know. He might be able to give you a heads up for a good place. Then again you might not like the choice. Again, coming to a forum to ask what is a good church, and then turning around and telling the forum that their choices are legalistic? Kind of makes one think they wasted their time posting a church. You understand where I’m coming from now?

Right?

Thats why I would have done the same thing Lily did. My experience is many Pastors dont like to be bothered with questions about doctrine and practice.

Maybe it’s the way you come across to them?

Well, I’ve never met a pastor that didn’t want to be questioned. But someone calling asking 100 questions would raise flags, at least for me.

I’d tell ‘em, come check us out. You’re not obliged to stay. God bless you on your merry way.
