I recommend avoiding small "family churches" then.
Find a place you can worship corporately without getting real intimate with the fellow members - that can come later, as you feel more comfortable.

That's exactly how I intended for people to take it; at face value. Y'all are grown enough to determine what "pentecostal" means for yourselves.

Actually, my family and another family are getting ready to do some house meetings with each other. Can't get any smaller than that. It's not the size I have issues with, it's prevalent attitudes I see displayed in churches, whether small or large.

I won't ask you anyone but by your comments I can tell you have a Roman Catholic background.

The BIG C would be Christ - of course!
It helps to keep things in perspective, don't ya think Rico?
...and now we return to the regularly scheduled posting about "being Pentecostal"...

Dude, I have never set foot in a Catholic Church. Well, I did once, so I could see all the statues mounted on the walls.

THe only way to determine the true answer to your question is to poll each member independently and find out where they stand. THen, the majority rules.
HOw else can you quantify a question like this?
