We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

You just know that they've got something wrong upstairs.

I never did understand why churches sing “Holy Spirit rain down”, calling upon the Lord to come to the church service, when supposedly those singing were already saved and were possessors of the Holy Spirit.

One thought that occurred to me regarding beseeching the Holy Spirit’s presence this way was that we can’t assume that all those in attendance at a church service are truly born-again; therefore, we might be led to ask the Holy Spirit to come and work (in those not saved) through the preaching of the Word, singing, etc., that is taking place there during the service. The Holy Spirit won’t enter believers anew, of course, but He might come down upon brand-new converts.

Lorna,
This is the Charismatic nonsense, and most likely the majority of their congregations are not saved to begin with!
