Borat

I know this has been posted on before, but I thought there were probably many who don't know about it. I find the whole thing shameful....on both sides.

Re: Borat

I didn't know anything about this. Who is this Mr. Borat? I don't get the reference to "Baywatch."

Yeah, I don't hang around as much as I used to. I wondered where my post went!

Still I scratch my head at this thing. Does anyone have the full service?

And what in the world is that song Tim Spell was singing?

I still get tickled with the pointer kid at the altar (you know the whole, pointing at the guy to deflect the power onto him move). Does Dillon's tongues pass the 1 Cor 14 test? What say you?

As much as people were appalled by this guy. He's an unbeliever, as far as we know has never been a believer. It was irreverent for sure, but I think this situation exposes us more than it victimizes us. I mean EVERYTHING we see here is par for the course. There is nothing unusual on the altar worker's part. That's exactly a proto-type. "Your whole life will be fixed if you can speak in tongues... LA LALALALALALAAL... say it.... there it is, there is it..."

Re: Holy Ghost 101: Bernard, Godwin, Borat, Kinzie

Oh, I think it's totally par for the course. And yeah, I got a kick out of that kid too.

I remember back in the day, I would have been appalled by Borat, but inside I would have been secretly questioning the leaders.....because it just doesn't line up.

It does sort of make you question the whole "speak in tongues at the altar" thing. The preacher is appealing and even commanding me to go and behave just like Borat?

I'm actually looking for a deeper and a much more authentic experience.

I am still truly confused at the difference between my authentic and legitimate experiences with repentance, baptism and tongues and what was manufactured and encouraged and sickly made-up.

Yes, a deeper, more pure, authentic experience that is not manipulated, steered, controlled -- it's nothing but the real presence of God working in me in that moment.
