My wife and I left a Conservative Baptist congregation and are now attending a nominally Charismatic church. The reason is that the Baptist church only paid lipservice to Christ (in terms of Him having anything to do with our daily lives), and seemed to believe in only a two-person "Trinity" - Father and Son, but little reference to the Holy Spirit. At least in the Charismatic church, Jesus is preached from the pulpit, and they believe in the Holy Spirit.

In between our former church and our current one, we attended a Pentacostal church for about three years. When I started to become more involved with it, I found too many weirdnesses, such that I couldn't, in good conscience, become involved in the church. Too much looking to "signs and wonders," so much so that even people's facial ticks were considered the manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

There are plenty of mistakes made by Believers...including this one. I've learned over the yrs to pray for them an allow God to be God. Our Lord has NO problem correcting our brothers and sisters. We are only human we are going to make our mistakes that's part of growing up in Christ Jesus. LOL...God Bless ;o)
