Whatever happened to "let all things be done decently and in order"?

I guess I can't say if it was His Spirit or not. Maybe... I lean toward "yes" but I'm not certain.
I feel the same way Jeffery, but with yet an added twist...
I often feel that way too when witnessing and participating in a liturgical service at the Lutheran Church or my own Pentecostal church.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves

But there is a problem even with that! You'd have to have a committee to determine what was decent and what was in order. And if you had more than two on the committee you'd have to have someone to referee their differences! lol

The community does as a whole. It's our issue to discuss.
Paul gave some examples. We must glean from the spirit of his letters and learn from them.
Is it a "given" that a ostensible spiritual gift is either the real thing or manufactured? And if it is the real thing, i.e. genuinely granted by God Himself, is it even possible to misuse it?
