Not so certain many churchfolks are
Overly concerned about their spirit
Never heard much spoken about born again in the spirit among the congregation in my church experience. No passion, no power.
Do we hear more in church about the spirit or more about the flesh? That is to say, in the congregation where many seemingly, in my view, mostly go to church to congregate.
Only one theme
When I mention spirit, things go flat. I recall a pastor who asked us what was the theme of Jesus' ministry? When they ran out of ideas, they'd run thru so many themes, it seemed everything was a theme. Not one mention of the Holy Spirit in my recollection of the event.
Santa Claus as God
They all believe in Jesus, it seems, but not the power thereof. The power is just not to be discussed. Guess that is where the meaning of the power comes in, for the sake of the children, as taught in not a few seminaries. If there is no power, only the meaning of power, then there is no power. This is power believed in only on thin ice.
