Furthermore, I heard him say (at GC, I forget what year, 2001? 2002?) something along the lines of "when I say now, I want everyone in this building to speak in tounges........Now! and He goes to speaking in tounges (you hear the crowd noise speaking in tongues, He breaks in in english as says, "thats it, everyone speak in toungues, right now! right now!"
To me AM is the complete opposite of PM. Though he probably has a better chance to get it, my opinion is that that kind of thing is what's wrong with pentecost nowdays. To much showmanship, to much style, too little substance.
I like DB's intelectual stuff, but haven't ever heard Him preach, I've read several of his books,but he doesn't strike me as a "leader", just a good administrator.
Just my two cents.

I have observed the same (without participation) and was appalled. And screaming... I don't get it when that happens.
I have only heard AM a few times. I was not really taking into account preaching style - though I guess one should.
Brings to mind another point... Must one be a "good preacher" to lead well. Certainly they need great oratory skills - but beyond that I am not sure if he needs to be a wonderful preacher.
