Does it need to be harder? I am remembering Charles Grisham talking to a lady in his church. She didn't think the person got saved even after he spoke in tongues. Grisham asked her, "Why not? What did you want him to do?" She said, "I like them to cry a little bit."
Well, I believe the repentance needs to be sincere. And you can fuss all day long about this, but he wasn't sincere when he repeated what they told him to say.

You don't really know and neither do I. We simply do not know what he felt. Being around a group of strangers, for the purpose he came for, I couldn't see him slobbering all over the place. Someone like that, even though they feel something, is probably still a bit confused as to what they want to believe or how they want to truly respond. I could see him going through the tongues think and falling down to get the deal over with. Or he may have fallen, partly, because he did feel something. I had my niece do that at our church in Austin. She came because her mother was there and ended up being slain in the spirit.

Okay. Whatever you want to believe.
