Been there seen that. I must say that I was young (and not too wise) in the LORD when these(probably the same) people came to our church. The wife took all the kids that wanted the Holy Ghost into an office. I should have gone in with them. I knew that something just wasn't right here but I also knew one of the other ladies that went in there would keep me informed. AND I had other family in the sanctuary. Couldn't be in 2 places at once.
Back in the sanctuary.....my other son "got" the Holy Ghost. I was praying somewhere else when I heard all this commotion. My son came up to me afterwards and told me that he wanted to get baptized in Jesus name for the remission of sins. Who was I to say that he didn't get it. I knew though that his fruit would be what makes it evident. I didn't want to discourage it.
Later, when we got home...Well I must say Praise God that my son who was probably only 8 of 9 at the time had a discerning spirit. He was in the office "trying" to get the Holy Ghost. They told him that he had it. Funny thing was, he never opened his mouth. He was scared to death. When we got home, he told me all about the kids that were told that they got it after just standing there. NOTHING more required.
That was a couple years ago. Yes I do have doubts about my older son that "got" it. But, I'm going to have to trust the LORD and pray that my son breaks thru and lets the Spirit flow.
