God is in the stillness... Remember the Still Small Voice.. God was not in the thunder and lightning.... He loves to be reverenced.... He's not looking for a Party as much as he is reverence

Doc, this is a hypothetical that you are giving (in which I cannot recall in my years as a Pentecostal that this scenario you've given has actually happened in a way that the sinner would not be able to recieve God's word). I will say that when the gifts of the Spirit are in operation, and when the Holy Ghost is working in a church service, God is the one who is in control. Besides, the sinner that you would be referring to needs to see this in order to know that God's presence is real. Can you describe God's presence when He deals with a congregation? Probably not as effective as God could, thus the sinner needs to be there.
