Pentacostal church

I was at a meeting in the Pentacostal church yesterday, as a part of a school-project. But now I have this feeling inside of me telling me to go back there!!!

I don't really want to, 'cause I know what will happen(don't ask!), but.....

Anyone who could give me some advice???

Are you afraid you'll permanently speak in tounges?
Do you have a pet malady that you don't want healed?
But seriously folks, what do you know will happen?
Damn, I wasn't supposed to ask.
Aw heck, I'm all in suspenders, what will happen?

there must b somethin inside of u wantin wat u experienced there.its not like its a bad thing.

Just try to look at it a bit more equaniminously. Try being more aware of what that bit of you is. It might be that you want some religious faith and then you can go about finding your faith in a place other than the Christian church if you don't feel you like that scene.

thank you, folks!

I've asked my folks, and they've given me permission to go there on Sunday, so I'm a bit excited....

Be careful though, the Pentacostal Church has a reputation of being anti other religions.

hey jozak --- not like the roman catholic church, eh?
just kidding ya, you know that... we lutherans have had our moments as well over the last 500 years or so

ya, a lot of them holy spirit chuches hold that you are not a christian if you haven't "been filled with the holy spirit" ---with obvious signs like falling down, or speaking in tongues, or something --- which would leave catholics & lutherans & methodists & orthodox & presbyterians & episcopalians & pretty much everybody else outa the loop, heh...

everybody except the Deists and the Unitarians

The Catholic Church does not have a reputation of slandering, insulting, and degrading other religions like the Southern Baptist Convention, Billy Grahm, Pat Robertson, or a lot of other right wing, fundementalist churches. Now at points in the past, yes, there was some corruption in the church, every church has that, but I am talking about present day, for the most part. I was not brought up that way, and niether are most Catholics.

agreed...
oekumoine... the ecumenical movement... repairing the rifts & schisms of the past... is definitely on the minds of many movers & shakers in roman catholic, eastern orthodox, lutheran, anglican, reform, and quite a few other denominations...
and there most surely are some poisonous rantings coming out of some of the "fringes" or (american) protestantism... (i mean, check out some of jack chick's rabidly anti-catholic little tracts & larger full-sized "comix" ... whew...)

but, generally speaking, the historical trend (for all christian communities) has been a distinct "us vs. them" sort of mentality... with all the sorry sequelae of that seperatist stance...
