I Don't Think That's First Baptist

Hey, I got no problem with people worshiping in any way they see fit. Who am I to judge? You want to handle snakes? No problems. Guitars and drums? Get after it. Poisoned Kool Aid? Only on special occasions. But this video does give rise to an objection that I just have to voice: Bad dancing. That kid in the blue jeans has watched on too many Charlie Brown cartoons. And what's up with that chick in the blue dress giving the older guy the what-for there at the end?

So many thoughts come to mind but sticking with the race theme of this blog...there's a reason why "white churches" need to stay in the pews. No rhythm.

If they had been handling snakes, I could understand the jumping around. If they were drinking poisoned Kool-Aid, I could understand the convulsions. Just a bunch of white folk acting like that...wow.

What is up with the poor kid sitting on the front row? I wonder if he was a friend of the blue jeans kid who spent the night the night before, and was dragged to church the next day.

Hey, how bad could it be?

Yep, that's a little different!
Some people may become overwhelmed with the Holy Spirit, I cannot say and I will not judge, that's not my job. However, If the young lady who began dancing around, a short time later in the clip, did become overwhelmed with the Holy Spirit why in the world would she push that guy over the person laying in the floor. Would the Holy Spirit do that? Also, for those who know and I am seriously asking, why can't someone else inturpret when another person is speaking in tongues. If no one can, what's the point? To me it would seem to be nothing but jibberish and a distraction during the service. Just asking, not attempting to be judgemental or an athiest. Thank you.

Didn't Jesus cast demons out of folks like that in the new testament?

Drums in Church? How dare we drag our Baptist selves into the 20th century!

If we are not careful, Worship service may be improved...

This would be good blackmail evidence if I only recognized someone in this video.

11:46, please explain the "fake coc". Just curious!! Thanks

Drums are only about eleventy billion years old as instruments of music go there 12:34 so what's the point?

If churches have drums they are primitive?

Yes 11:46, do tell.

Their use of the term "Holy Ghost" should tell you everything you need to know about their degree of hopelessness.

It's a misuse of a 400 year old misinterpretation.

Cretins.

I thought Grace Fellowship was a bigger building than that.

when i was a member of a pentecostal church about 30 years ago, i was taught that speaking in tongues was a gift from god, one of 7 gifts, another is the gift of interpretation of the unknown tongue. i can't remember all 7 but another one is the gift of healing by the laying on of hands..does anyone know the others..?

I probably wouldn't bother asking anyone here... most are baptist and tend to be snide about others interpretations of the Bible.

Just looked retarded to me, but that's probably what they say about how I ride a motorcycle.

And I think it's better to be riding my motorcycle thinking about god than in church thinking about riding my motorcycle.

This reminds me of those 60's films warning of the dangers of LSD. Given the attire and the hairdos of the participants, perhaps it is one of those films.............

Looks like we are standing at gates of hell or maybe Bowie . COC not to be confused with the church of christ

If the fat guy in the white shirt fell over dead from a heart attack would that be considered an act of god, or is being fat one of those free will deals?

400 years ago when the Bible was translated into what we know as the KJV the word tongue was synonymous with our word language. For example they would have said, "His native tongue is German." We would say "native language."
They are sadly being mislead through the misuse of an archaic term.
When the Bible mentions the use of an interpeter it means just what it says- large groups of people who may or may not speak the language of the preacher would come together making interpretaion of different 'languages' or 'tongues' essential.

I've been to one of those churches, as a kid. I can laugh now because I'm older but, I was just like the kid on the front row, very scared.

My hubby remembers when he was a child that someone started speaking in tougue at his church. It scared him so much that he literally ducked under the pew he was sitting at and crawled all the way out the door to escape.

Jarhead would be shocked, SHOCKED to discover there are catholic charismatic groups who the only difference between them and these folks is the preacher would be wearing a pippy collar or a flowie robe and a funny hat.

Jarhead said...

1:28,

Yeah, there are bad apples in every bunch, aren't there?

The first "charismatic" that comes to mind is that fool-of-a-priest up in Chicago, I can't remember his name, but he is a friend of Obama's preacher... Michael somethingorother.

So, yeah ~ I'm not as shocked as you thought I'd be. There are definately more freaky liberal Catholics than I'm comfortable with. They all leave the church become protestants sooner or later.

That last sentence was a joke. Go on. It's okay to laugh at yourself.
