I was just wondering how many Apostolics in here, in your churches, do you have pre-service prayer that is manditory for the born again saints in your church?

I pray when driving in the car, walking, and even just sitting around. How is this different than pre-service prayer (prayer room)?
(And I cannot concentrate in a prayer room -never could. Too many people trying to be louder than the next person.)

How does one make pre-service prayer mandatory for all born again believers?
Our church does have pre-service prayer.
Perhaps by teaching that the bible shows the necessity of it; if a saint then still does not obey after being taught the necessity of it, then perhaps it is time for the Pastor to obey what it teaches him to do, when a saint does not obey.
My church does as well.

Does that mean then that your church does NOT have manditory pre-service prayer?

We do not have a pastor who CONTROLS his church as in forces something... God however has blessed us with a church that is full of prayer... we do have many many many in pre service prayer... The staff is required to pray before service.. actually as you walk in the door you can see them in the conference room all gathered around the pastor in prayer... the choir in another room in prayer... the youth in another room in prayer.. the little kids in another room in prayer... more often than not our youth pre service prayer turns into prayer meetings that last till 9 or 10 at night with youth slain in the spirit all over the place and them leaving so drunk they cant walk.... But mandatory... no but we love to pray!!!!!
Does that mean then that your church does NOT have manditory pre-service prayer?
We're still looking for a church in our area, but responding to the spirit of the question, no, I have never been to a church where it was mandatory. We always had one -but it was not mandatory.
