You will have to speak in the English words I understand, seems as though I can read your print but doesn't make sense to me!

The church services bore me and I don't think they have a correct understanding of the Holy Spirit.

Sry, I`m a hillbilly.

When I attend a Baptist service the only people I see worshipping God are the preacher and maybe some of the music people. In addition, there is a profound knowledge deficit regarding the Holly Spirit.
If that is nourishing to you then good but I`m a problem child and that is just too vanilla for me. It's an environment I`ll misbehave in.
Man, who appointed you the judge or divider over Baptists?

It's a bad thing when you are abused by people who think they are representing Jesus.
Love rejoices with the truth (1 Corinthians 13:6). . .as understood in the light of the NT.

Sorry. . .I take that back. . .I misunderstood you.

Knowledge from the OT?

Paul quoted from the Old Testament 131 times in the epistles. That should tell you something since you think you know his gospel.

Not surprising since the NT is the OT revealed.

Just googled this and their response was:paul quotes from the Torah (first five books of the Old Testament) 45 times. The prophets are quoted 53 times, with Isaiah taking the lead at 36 times. Psalms are quoted 23 times. And other books are cited 10 times.

Adrion Rogers use to say, the New is in the old forshown, the Old is in the new full grown. The new is in the old concealed and the old is in the new revealed. I always love to hear him preach. At least I think that is what he use to say, being 79 my thoughts sometimes are not as clear as they use to be, but my doctor when I told him I am getting to forget more, he ask me if I remembered that I forgot, and I said yes, he said as long as I remembered I forgot, it was just a sign of growing older, its when I didn't remember that I forgot is the problem, I thank him and laughed, and told him I was glad he told me that!

What was their understanding as you perceived it?

I don't feel like addressing that today, I`m already ruffling Baptist feathers.

It`s a big church world though. The Bible says "try the spirits and see if they are of me."

Spirit is a Biblical word for church and that verse is an invitation from God Himself to try different churches.

My favorite saying for my expressing my views in opposition to others view sometimes is "Every tub sets on its own bottom"

And sometimes they fall on the floor and convulse. But to each his own.

Just as an FYI, Jews including the apostle Paul considered the entire Old Testament to be Torah.
