2) Baptism must be done by immersion in the name of Jesus
3) The evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost is the physical "speaking in tongues"
4) Worship service is more that empty words sung to pass time and is used to usher the people into the Presence of God. It can also be used to spontaneously minister as God leads.
5) The message is dynamic and powerful with life-changing results
6) Speaking in tongues in a corporate setting is not considered "taboo" but is encouraged.
I am searching for a church that when its members come together, their hunger for God is tangible and all that matters is getting ahold of God. I have been to a few places around here and have yet to find one. Its been 4 months and I am getting desperate!
By the way, distance isn't too big of a deal. I live in north west Houston, near 249/8 but am willing to travel up to around 20 miles for a solid church....
Please help a brotha out!
Thanks

Hey NTH, a friend told me about this post.
I pastor Northwest OF Houston, probably farther than you would want to drive.
In the general NW Houston area, you have already visited two of the best for your critera. Wendall and the Jones brothers both have great churches.
There are a few others though. PM me if you would like. Type of worship. Goals -like sitting there, lot of programs, or want to help in a smaller church.
One thing about metro Houston, thousands of churches.
