And I'm Pentecostal.

[RagingTireFire]

It's really strange that people who happily profess to believe in a giant omnipresent dude who lives in the ether and who's actually three people at the same time and who also created an entire universe just by talking about it, regretted how its inhabitants turned out, wiped them out and started over again only to determine that one of the three of Him needed to hang out with people for a while but then willingly submit to being tortured to death in horrific fashion only to then undie over the weekend, hang out a little more and finally levitate into the sky after telling people that those who put their faith in Him will be rewarded in the end with a spot in the giant astral condominium complex He's working on would mock anyone's belief in anything, particularly those of people who profess to believe the exact same thing.

Before I got to Liberty, I was Baptist. I thank Giant Omnipresent Dude every day that I met jerks like you people who made me realize I didn't have to be.

And I'm Pentecostal.

Are you really or were you kidding? You said they were Fully Pentecostal so I'm guessing there are different types. Was that video close to anything regular Pentecostals do?

[SuperJon]

I'm Pentecostal. I've been raised in a Pentecostal church my entire life. My grandfather is a Pentecostal preacher. I haven't watched the video and don't plan on it so I can't really tell you anything about that church in particular. What I meant by fully Pentecostal is they actually practice Pentecostal beliefs. They don't just talk about it.

How so?

Was that really his opinion? I thought it was a quote from Battlestar Galactica or something

First off, JMUDukes just said he's not Baptist, but both you and SJ assumed that he was from his comment. So it's okay to make fun of/stereotype/disparage Baptists, but no one else? And I think it's funny when someone lets other people determine what they believe. Kinda like Ghandi saying it was Christians who prevented him from believing in Christ. I'm sure that's not working out too well for him now.

I've broken this down about 3 times and still cant understand it...

My comments were more directed toward HMO and LUConn as this is the typical Baptist attitude toward anything that doesn't conform to "stand up sit down sing three verses church" that I encountered growing up in a Baptist church and more so when I was at Liberty. I have no problem disparaging that.

[blwall1416]

"stand up sit down".... that I encountered growing up in a Baptist church...

Remember that song, "Father Abraham"............I hated that song.

Yeah it was so disparaging of me to create captions for a picture and to make fun of a statement that is obviously grammatically incorrect adopted as a logo. But what you got from that was "you must stand up and sit down and do nothing else in church or I will make fun of you".

If I saw a photograph of JF doing something action oriented it would also make for a good "caption" picture. And if TRBC's saying was something like "Not I Christ" I'd probably have poked fun at that at some point too.

Dont be an idiot and start acting like you know me from a thread...I'm the one that said I'd be open to going...I gotta hear Rish preach

My office is near the nursery in our church and I heard a rousing rendition of "J-E-S-U-S and Jesus was his name-o" last Sunday. Oh, the joys.

[RagingTireFire]

I'm not pretending to know either of you. However, if you don't want to get lumped in with the Christian "brothers" who can only make fun of something they refuse to process -- see the "invisible knife" jokes above -- don't be surprised when you are.

LUConn, I'm so happy that you can see the humor in every personal situation. Excuse me while I find a pic from Doc's funeral and we can all play "caption this".

[Hold My Own]

What are we when we post dumb pics of people around here? Anti LU or TRBC? I think it's more of a dont take yourself to seriously.


Who in that picture died?

You're missing the point as usual. You are making fun of people worshipping God in their church.

I'm sorry but it's extremely typical of this school to talk crap about Pentecostals and Pentecostal beliefs. I've heard it from students, professors, and even campus pastors while I was here. I don't berate Baptists (or people with Baptist beliefs) for what they believe and I have the opinion that I shouldn't be berated or made fun of for the stuff I believe. It was obvious that JMUdukes was making fun of Pentecostals and their belief system. I have no respect whatsoever for people that do that.

[Hold My Own]

I think RTF is a little more sensitive to this then even they are...I dont think its supposed to be a big secret as to what they believe and how they go about it or I doubt they'd be putting up videos....I mean if someone posted a caption this picture of Billingsley crying every Sunday I wouldnt get bent out of shape or start blaming others saying how it's "your kind" that pushed me where I am today


This was a thread with honest questions as to who they are and what they believe...yes there were a few jokes thrown in there but that comes with the territory of watching someone heal someone else.

[SuperJon]

This quote doesn't surprise me at all coming from you.

Ok, to make it fair, caption this from a Baptist church in Alabama:

Or maybe you'd like this one better:

This is really hitting home from the guy who seems to only post if he's 1. arguing or 2. making fun of someone.

It's a funny looking picture. If you took a picture of someone singing their heart out to God, you most likely will get a still shot that looks pretty humorous because people's faces contort when they sing. If you took a picture of a snake handler holding his 5 pet corbras in the air, it would most likely look humorous. http://www.flamefans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4756 That entire thread is making fun of albums that God is glorified in. You know what, the albums are funny looking. How many times have you made fun of BJU and all of their wacky rules? Or PCC? Your point that we seem to be missing is really absurd.

[RagingTireFire]

You simply do not get anything. If it came with the territory, then it stands to reason that SJ would be making the joke himself.

Manson, that doesn't help.

LUConn, I never made fun of anyone's faith or how they choose to worship God. If you don't understand the difference between an album cover and a picture of someone worshipping, I don't know what to tell you. As for arguing or making fun, what else is there to do on a message board? If Scorchy can work a blackjack game into this thing, I'd be all over it.
