I think the question is how does your church express the presence of the Holy Spirit? All Christian Churches welcome and believe the Holy Spirit is present. My Church believes in Gods presence in the sacraments, which is no less valid than flamboyant expression in worship

"All Christian Churches welcome and believe the Holy Spirit is present."

You are joking of course.

Sadly, I lost 12 years of my life to attending the CoC. They honestly do believe the ONLY leading we can possibly have of the Holy Spirit is the black and white words written on the pages of a Bible.

That is sadly the way it seems to be in many churches these days. Even the ones who believe in the leading of the Holy Spirit....but when He starts leading they quench Him because time constraints. Church is over at noon whether the Holy Spirit is done or not....:oops:

Nope. Christians believe in the Trinity. Speaking in tongues or some other public display of behavior does not corner the market on the Holy Spirit

No one said that it did. Just because they believe in the trinity does not mean they welcome the Holy Spirit in the church. I went to one church that believed in all the right doctrines so-called and when they gave me their book of membership requirments there were 31 things in it that were not in scripture.

The Holy Spirit did not have a chance because they had made up their minds and nothing was going to change it.
