In your... spirituality is measured by the amount of hours logged/punched in at the local assembly doing Pentecost and parading dress code holiness ....
In your paradigm preaching the word is reduced to in-house motivational speaking ... inspiring and soliticiting call and response. Petting a man's ego.
And annointed preaching is mistaken for a sweat drenched shirt, tie, suit and pom-poms.
While the rest of the world doesn't admittedly know you exist - see DKB.
Understanding that the eating together in corporate fellowship was just as much the Apostolic church model of Acts as was the preaching of the word ...
Read the sermon transcripts in Acts .... maybe they are just highlights but they presented the Gospel effectively and concisely ... without the theatrics and the "aha"" ... we mistake spirituality for ....
A habitual 2 hour preacher is selfish ... not selfless if that preaching is constantly directed in saving the saved and not directed or targeted to the lost.
This 2 hour teaching in particular we can agree was not evangelistic in nature.

Lets see if I can handle this wisely with you (a non-apostolic) with obviously "limited" knowledge of the BIBLE. But.... wise in your "own opinions" (still no scripture i see)
Hebrews 10:23-25
23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised
24And let us consider one another :to provoke unto love and to good works":
25Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Thats for your comment on our church services!
As for my "works based paradigm"........
James 2:18-21
18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Uh oh! Did you read that?
As for holiness. Holiness comes from within. It starts with the tongue.
Proverbs 15:4
"A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit."
As for your attack of our "holiness dress code". Might I add that your true "spirit" manifested itself in that attack. (not very christian
But holiness is a spirit from within. Our "dress code" is our IDENTITY. Our IDENTITY is a reflection of our spirit of holiness within. (or it should be anyways).
Maybe thats why we preach long winded sometimes....trying to reach the rebellious!
As for "annointing"........
Well It would be like me trying to tell you how to talk in tongues. The veil the Bible refers to.....is man's thinking. Read your BIBLE friend. I pray GOD gives you some revelation.
Friend, you don't reject me or my word.......You reject GOD and HIS WORD.
I've enjoyed the conversation. I hope you have to.
