Remember when...?

[Esaias]

Church of God meeting w/altar service, 1980s:

[Sean]

oh yeah...take me back!

[allstate1]

Nope I don't

[Carl]

Well, its not quite like that anymore.

Is it even possible to have services like this anymore? Tears just flowed as I watched and listened to the waves of the Holy Spirit sweeping over that congregation. I want that! In my life, in my church, I want that!

I remember and am HAPPY that I t still enjoy this type service OFTEN.

There was a time in the 50s that if you met a CoG or AoG person you would have to ask about their water baptism to learn the difference because they looked outwardly just like Pentecostals. Looking at the clip you can see the change that was taking place, some holding to standards and others already looking like the world.

My mom has a AoG friend in Goshen, IN, and they still hold to it.

What is it about the young lady on the platform you think makes her look unholy or immodest?

So thee reason why we don't have services like that today is because of a lack of standards?

Actually, for a long time, I thought these kinds of services were limited to the people of the Name. It's probably good that I didn't know this was happening in the 80's with these other Pentecostal folks.
