I had one pastor who always used to say, "The Devil's had that money long enough!"

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.

My children grew up playing"funeral". We Pastored a church that had many elderly people in it and we had funerals every month...One would preach, one would be the dead body on the altar, and one would play and one would sing...the rest would sit and cry...it was a hoot!

Doctor Vaughn, Do you suppose those who were in the upper room were "out of order"? They appeared to be drunk (so, I guess they would've appeared that way); however, they weren't drunk as were supposed, but were loud enough to seam that way because GOD was in control.

Then she decides that, whatever it is these people have she definitely wants, and another name is added to the Book of Life. I just love a happy ending. Don't you?

Paul actually said she would think you were a bunch of crazy people.. he used the harder word MAD

If they are really doing it because they feel the power of God, then EVERYBODY would feel the same power that those ladies felt. But maybe you've never been in a service where the power of God falls on everybody.
