Okay, now I think I understand. (I think)
I don't doubt that the Spirit is working in the lives of those in the methodist church. I'm sure the Spirit is working there.
To be Spirit filled a believer has to be filled with the Spirit or iow, baptized with the Spirit. The evidence of Spirit baptizm is speaking with other tongues
.
That said Laodicea was a Spirit filled church yet they were carnal and dead.
'm looking for a church that is Spirit filled and alive. Prefer one that believes God is one person and baptizes in the name of Jesus Christ, but if that includes dress standards, I'm not interested.
