Unique thought there...get the Holy Ghost and get right with God (some seem to
think that it is the other way around). I know a man (a long time friend) that
is now in a Apostolic Church that got the Holy Ghost in a prayer meeting in the
basement of a Baptist Church. His pastor and an associate pastor belittled him
and stripped him of the title he held (youth pastor). He asked me the next day
about what happened, so I showed him in the Bible and we prayed and the next
week he was transfered to another city (Gods doing as he was from a large
powerful Baptist family, now he can grow without the pressure from them). So yes
it happens and yes it should (if they listen to the Spirit) start to seek those
things that please the Lord.

Whoa....I met a "Branhamite" the other day. Had some real bizzare ideas, one of
which was that the "man" I need to meet to go to heaven was in this area for the
next few months and that if I wanted to go to heaven I needed to meet him while
I had the chance! I would be interested in any more information on this as this
is a man I have frequent contact with.
