The Shouting Methodist

Back when I joined the Pentecostal Holiness church...

1. Salvation- As easy as looking onto Jesus
2. Sanctification- With a sweet spirit- If not - Come back tomorrow night!
3. Holy Spirit- Can come with unique gifts
4. Sunday - An evening and a morning service
5. Wednesday- Family night
6. Saturday- Prayer
7. Revivals - Many in a year, conference would want reports on the experiences

So we were basically Methodist. It is my experience that the Holy Spirit comes upon people uniquely. All gifts are not the same. Some are gifted in the Word, Music, and in wonderful personality. To me sanctification is the chief gift to pursue. If you have not a wonderful spirit we will tell you to come back tomorrow night and smile a little as we say it.

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you... - Galatians 4:19

As we used to have it in our Pentecostal Holiness church services... Which was a whole lot like it used to be in "Shouting Methodist" churches of old.... And also very much annoyed that we could not keep this spirit alive in my lifetime.
