I think I've had both and that's how I'm able to distinguish.

We've all been there before. You know, when you needed a good praying through. And if you showed ANY signs of emotion to a message or a song, the altar workers hounded you to press that to become more dramatic.

I've had both too. I have trouble figuring it all out. I'm still ticked at God for allowing hucksters to take advantage of sincerity. But, hey, what do I know? Someday, maybe I'll figure all this out. I haven't even been going to church lately. Maybe this Sunday I'll go to that Evangelical church we've attended off and on for about four years.

That's why I retired from altar coaching. Tongue talking will not save anyone.

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