That's really a good point. I know in the past that the preaching of standards at conferences has been frowned upon. What I am seeing in more recent fellowship meetings i think is very positive because we are more open and it allows us to be on the same page. It brings us to the same level. I attended East Coast conference in Durham this past year. Of course there was some preaching on standards, however that was not the dominating subject of the conference. 19 received the Holy Ghost. I watched one young lady attend 3 services and watched as the skepticism melted away with each service. In the last service she was in the altar and received the Holy Ghost beautifully. You could see complete transformation on her face. I would like for some of those who criticize our stance to attend some of our services, i am sure that the power of God would convince them of God's favor on what we are doing. His Spirit is leading His church. But the only ones that will hear him will be "those that have an ear".
