But we aren't doing greater things... Saving 5 in a weekend isn't greater than saving 3,000 in a moment... Its great that 5 got saved, but... why aren't we seeing greater things?
You are too focused on numbers. You seem more focused on the number of souls rather than the souls themselves.

part of what made what happened in the NT church was the number... I mean, lots of things are/were that way...

would it have been amazing if Jesus fed 5 with 5 loaves and 2 fish? No... it was amazing 'cuz it was 5,000....

same with the day of pentecost... the fact it was 3,000 made it so much more amazing than if it were 3... 3 is great, Praise God for 3, don't get me wrong... but we can't say that we're experiencing a greater revival than they had until we start seeing more than 3 is all I'm saying...

I guess I'm not sure how we can say we're this great "end-time church" that is seeing greater than the early church saw if we aren't seeing greater things...

If each number is a soul, then doesn't mean that you care about more souls if you are focuses on numbers?

We claim to be the end times church, and the Bible says that in the end-times a revival greater than anything that has ever been seen will happen...

There is NOTHING remotely like this prophecied in the Bible.

There is NOTHING remotely in scripture that prophecies anything about a great endtime revival. It is a figment of an overactive imagination it certainly is NOT scriptural.

good to know... of course what does that say about the numerous people who keep preaching it over and over and over again over various pulpits around the world??

I would report that another person received the Holy Ghost last night, but it was only one.

No big deal.
