    William Seymour Wore a Box on His Head

    To answer your question directly. I think most people in my church would find a person with a box on their head to be distracting and overly dramatic and perhaps even a bit ridiculus.

    William Seymour Wore a Box on His Head

    I think the question has been answered indirectly. Some people, maybe most people , would find it ridiculus. It isn't so much a desire to derail the thread. Just trying to address the question behind the question. Which is this... Did the Pentecostals at Asuza Street behave in a way that people...

    A Modern Day Prophet

    I believe that religious people have put the whole idea of prophecy in this spooky category that is distant from our everyday experiences. But the way the Bible talks about prophecy , it is something that is more familiar than that. Prophecy should be and is within the church in the form of...

    Hands down , my favorite Christian singer of all time...Singing about not striving. God loves us and Love changes everything. Ever been in love ? Cold hard logic just won 't tell the whole story. It is the love of God that makes it all make sense. YouTube - Keith Green - "When I Hear The...

    Why Revival tarries

    When I read through the accounts of the kings of Israel and Judah , I am convinced that the Bible does teach that we can turn to God and bring about revival. The church seems to have a similar pattern to the backslidings of Israel and Judah.

    The leadership of Modern Judaism is comprised of enemies of the Gospel. This is bound to create some tension.

    Why Revival tarries

    This often quoted verse has a condition attached to it. Notice once again a condition attached to the passage. In order to not be under the law , we must walk by the Spirit. Notice once agin conditions attached to the promises. This idea of reaping what we sow is true when we...

    Praying people into heaven

    Off the top of my head , I remember a verse about God sending the rain upon the just and the unjust. But I would not limit it to just things like weather. There may be some things that are just the sovreign hand of God operating on the earth. The tower of babel is another example...

    Praying people into heaven

    Your post is a bit pointed. That is a strong amount of sarcasm. But your point is clear. You are against the extreme of de-valueing prayer and the role that people play in God's will upon earth. I am wondering though about the opposite extreme. What are the limits to humankind's role in things...

    Praying people into heaven

    As a side point. Not all prayer is equally effective , by the way. That is another subject to consider. But I assumed in your illustration , that you meant an effective prayer of faith. I would consider that to be impossible if one is praying outside of the will of God. When someone gets a...

    I enjoy a good discussion also. As for accusations , I responded to the points being made in the discussion. If the shoe fits , then wear it ; if it doesn't fit then feel free not to wear it. I remember you making a disclaimer in your opening post that you were not intending dishonour to...

    William Seymour Wore a Box on His Head

    So basically your arguement is based upon demanding documentation and when documentation is provided , then your arguement is that no documentation is ever valid because all documentation is automatically suspect if it does not agree with your conclusions. Historians who have researched the...

    Praying people into heaven

    The issue here is one of honour. The scripture does not teach that all honour goes to God alone. It teaches that we are to also honour people where honour is due. The arguement being put forth in this thread is that if we give people honour we are worshiping them as God is a false arguement. I...

    Praying people into heaven

    I disagree. Life is full of examples where humans and God partner in things. When a husband and wife decide to have a baby , they do not take credit for being the creator. God retains his position as creator of all life. However , unless the parents do their part , the baby is not born...
