My wife and I visited a charismatic church north of Denver last night. We've been there before. We love it; it's a treat for us to have time to get away and one of the things we like to do sometimes is visit certain churches with which we are in relationship.
After the song worship section one of the pastors shared the gospel and invited us to take some time and pray for those people we know who are do not know Christ. Then he asked us if there were any of us who had some issues of sin in our life we were not dealing with. He prayed and asked us to raise our hands if we wanted prayer for these issues. I raised my hand. I always have lots of issues.
Well, what I didn't realize was this was the time in the service where the invite people in the congregation who do not know Jesus to raise their hands for salvific prayers. I had several people come to me while we were praying asking if I wanted prayer. I told them I thought I was getting prayer as the pastor up front was praying. Apparently they want to pull you aside and pray with you. Another older lady confronted my wife and wanted to pray with her and give her literature. My wife was sweet and told her I was just doing business with God.
I love it! I love a church that will pray for people to get right with God through Jesus. I love a church that will worship Jesus and invite those who do not know know Him to pray and invite Him to take over their lives. I love that they want to pray with me to get saved. Again. ;)
I got saved in a Charismatic church last night. Again.
