When I was just a kid in an Apostolic Pentecostal church it was considered "bad" to be "traditional." "Traditional" meant "dead" and "boring" and "dull" with no move of God. Now Apostolic folks yearn for "traditional"?

The Greek Orthodox Church is very uber conservative. Are you a member?

No, I am not a member of Greek Orthodox but have close friends who are. Like every other denomination, they have people who claim to be but don't live the life. BTW, I am not "good" with everything "conservative."

That's cool. I'm just feeling rambunctious tonight. Been trying to pick a fight. Maybe I should go to bed now before I actually succeed. Take good care.

Well, let's get it started. Forget this emergent church stuff, I think all men should shave their heads bald to have holy glow power on their heads. Give the women some competition.

Re: Emergent Church
I think there is a lot of confusion around the terms Emergent, Relevant, etc. Point being that casual services and rock-type music don't necessarily mean mysticism and studying other religions, etc. I don't really know much about them except that people seem to confuse the various terms a lot.

Re: Emergent Church
Emergent Church is a huge doctrine. If you are unfamiliar with it, google it or go to your Bible book store see all the books about it.

LOL... The emergent church is NOT a doctrine.
I think it is time to scuttle the name.
People have already formed their opinions by a few examples of churches that went directions that they didn't like and the whole movement is tagged.
This is like saying that you went to a store front church and they were preaching trinity etc and so... the obvious conclusion is...
Store front churches are false doctrine.
Good grief.

Re: Emergent Church
I am a part of a upc that is emerging from old traditional customs and traditons of old time pentecost.
Does this make emergent?
