please read my blog on this site. It gives insight into just what worship/praise was like in the late 60's to about the mid 80's. What we see in most churches today is a far cry from what we were doing back then. btw, worship and praise are not the same thing.
What Exactly is High Praise?
Several years ago, I heard the concept “high praise” at a prayer gathering, and it was the first time that I could remember that I had heard that term, at least the first time it registered. I tucked that thought in the back of my mind, and every once in a while would reflect on it. Later on...
Here's a link to a discussion I found several years ago. In the days of the charismatic outpouring, what was actually true spiritual worship was actually called "high praise". We simply did not know what to call it.
this is well worth an in depth study especially in light of what we have today

Can you answer some questions since you say your pastor is Greg Laurie?
I mean some have already been answered but well, you obviously know him. Was the movie accurate or exaggerated version of the story do you think? Did you meet Lonnie Frisbee? Were you one of the hippies or child of hippies?

Idk how I missed your Thread since yeah I go to Harvest where he is Pastor
lol. Yes the movie does a superb job of portraying his life and the people and events surounding it. There are a few scenes what you might call dramatized though, like the one of him being baptized. He jokingly says he could never hold his breath under water that long as the movie shows lol. I'll get back tomorrow I want to read all the comments and offer hopefully more insight re the movie.

I follow him on my FB page. Hubby just rewatched the movie with me and I explained some things and he really enjoyed it. I haven't found anything in his preaching so far that I would disagree with. I saw he went to the WH not long ago, and got a chance to pray with the president.
I don't follow anyone or go on FB
I just read a book of his called Lost Boy, not because I follow him, but cos it looked interesting. I found it in the library and I read a lot of memoirs. I didn't know that being a pastor was so high profile. I thought it was meant to be a humble vocation, not like being a rock star.

It's amazing when God has a call on your life, right? Pastor Greg was born out of wedlock and his mom was married seven times. His mother drank and would uproot him the minute she had a new lover. Actually Pastor Greg was saved by hearing Lonnie Frisbee preach at his school. Lonnie did struggle and battle with gayness but never preached in favor of it and Pastor Greg feels he certainly made amends before his death and we don't know how merciful God is, that's why we can't judge.
The movie obviously had to condense certain time frames but all in all it's a brilliant recollection of a very magnificent move of the Lord. Ty for starting this Thread from NZ Lanolin, you rock
Yea I didn't know you could marry that many times, I mean how. Wouldn't the marriage register get confused? And how to keep track of all the surnames if you the wife?
Famous ppl that married many times I only know of Elizabeth Taylor, married 8 times, one time to the same husband she married twice.
Though being born out of wedlock is actually nothing new. Loads of people are. You don't have to be born in a marriage to be a Christian.

I don't think it was filmed in Hollywood, more Orange County or somewhere like that, by the beach. Where the actual Calvary Chapels are.
I wonder how they let a movie crew film inside a church, and whether the extras in it were all Christians.
Greg Laurie has no brothers or sisters and the baptism scenes were filmed at the original site during the Jesus revolution, in OC Pirate's Cove. Some trivia, the church scenes in the movie are thought to be actual Christians while the baptism scenes included some unsaved people who made decisions for Christ that day. Good thing they were at the beach that day lol.
Also, Chuck Smith's wife, Kate, later stated she had been praying for the hippies around them and in particular one group that walked past their home almost every day, that included Pastor Greg Laurie
