I understand the reaction. Pentecostals aren't well liked by many, but I don't think he was criticizing so much as making a humorous gesture at the seeming oxymoron of being "Bapticostal."
LOL Try being a oneness apostolic/pentecostal.....that gets people all in an uproar. I sing, I dance, I raise my hands in church, I pray out loud, I lay my hands on my sisters and pray for them as they are at the altar crying out to GOD, I talk in tongues as the SPIRIT gives the utterance, I hug people, I dont care who comes through our doors or how they look, talk, or even smell, as long as they come to church that is all that matters. I praise sing, I solo sing, and sometimes when I get real excited I give a shout. I'm the moderator of our churches FB account.
yup..... that's me.

ready for insults.... LOL

I think your church sounds cool Jinx. There is nothing wrong with raising your hands, dancing, singing, etc. If that brings you closer to God then great.

Yes, if that means Presbyterian church United States Of America. It's in America and it's Presbyterian.
The PCUSA is the acronym for the Presbyterian Churches in the United States of America.

This is their logo:


The vast majority of the denomination is apostate just like the ELCA.

Just the tip:

In a strongly worded letter to Presbyterian World Mission Director Hunter Farrell, the moderator of a conservative offshoot of the Presbyterian Church in Colombia has reaffirmed that church’s partnership with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) despite its rejection of the PC(USA)’s current ordination standard allowing for the ordination of sexually active unmarried persons, including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered church members.

I was raised Lutheran, (Missouri Synod) but in my teens I became a member of an independent charismatic church. In my twenties I joined a popular Foursquare church with 3 thousand members. Got married and joined another charismatic Lutheran Church. Then I kooled down and dropped out of church for 15 years or so. I slowly lost my faith and did things I regret. I came back and found a new faith with a little help from a Catholic priest and then joined another popular Foursquare church. Now, I do not attend any sort of formal church, but maintain a small core group of Christian friends.
I wonder if zone knows if there such a thing as a Charismatic Lutheran Church?:p

I go to a conservative Pentecostal church. No third wave, holy laughter, horn blowing, flag waving, snake handling, Vineyard, or anything like that. We do believe in raising our hands, worshiping in the Spirit, mostly what the old Pentecostals believe with exception of the dress code and tithing.

I am sympathetic to the PCA and OPC, but will not fellowship with the PCUSA as it is impossible. That denomination is apostate.

I attend, am Baptised into and a member of a Baptist church. I am a Lay preacher there and generally take the services I preach at. We are very small. We have bible study and prayer time every other week. My church has a long accosiation with a youth programme, from Sunday school to Young people's club.

I enjoy Christian fellowship with my church very much too. Whether or not we are engaged in Christian activities. It's good to just enjoy spending time with my Church family.

You would hope so, but they all aren't. Some are Mary-centered and believe man-made lies instead of the Bible or don't preach the truths of the Bible and avoid tough subjects.

Catholicism is not Mary-centered as you say. It is Christ-centered and Bible believing FYI

I go to a Catholic Church and sing and play guitar in the Choir. I am team member for our ACTS retreats and I help with the youth group. I hope to be a helper for our RCIA classes starting next September. I attend Mass, or services, several times a week and really enjoy being in the Presence of God
