Let me say, I want multitudes to get the holy ghost, but I have a serious Issue with some of the things that take place at these . I am asking your opinoins. tell me if I am right or perhaps being too critical.
I was on the platform and saw for myself People raising their hands and CLAIMING THE HOLY GHOST FOR THE PERSONS! aren't we suppose to let the person claim it ??? the Evangelist seemed eager to count yet another one as the numbers went higher and higher which made the crowd more and more excited.
furthermore, I have a problem with people coaxing people into getting the holy ghost. It has been my observation over the years that when people get the holy ghost out of pure inspiration , they don't last. the holy ghost that the saints received under Bro Urshan and even in my father's day, kept them for 50 years. these people getting the holy ghost in these mass services are often never seen again!

this topic is just too difficult for me to openly discuss in a public forum.
IMO, the worst of this manifestation of 'strange' in our fellowship is the way youth are TOLD they have received the Holy Ghost. To what ends? For what purpose?
There is no scripture instructing that:
...With stammering lips and a profession from an alter worker shall he speak unto his people saying, this is the refreshing"
thanks Thad for provoking a conversation. Where it goes...I have no idea.
