A Baptist preacher and his wife decided to get a new dog. Ever mindful of the congregation, they knew the dog must also be a Baptist. They visited kennel after kennel and explained their needs. Finally, they found a kennel whose owner assured them he had just the dog they wanted. The owner brought the dog to meet the pastor and his wife. "Fetch the Bible," he commanded. The dog bounded to the bookshelf, scrutinized the books, located the Bible, and brought it to the owner. "Now find Psalm 23," he commanded. The dog dropped the Bible to the floor, and showing marvelous dexterity with his paws, leafed through and finding the correct passage, pointed to it with his paw. The pastor and his wife were very impressed and purchased the dog. That evening, a group of church members came to visit. The pastor and his wife began to show off the dog, having him locate several Bible verses. The visitors were very impressed. One man asked, "Can he do regular dog tricks, too?" "I haven't tried yet," the pastor replied. He pointed his finger at the dog. "Heel!" the pastor commanded. The dog immediately jumped on a chair, placed one paw on the pastor's forehead and began to howl. The pastor looked at his wife in shock and said, "Good Lord! He's Pentecostal!"

No, I'm serious, what does it mean?


ever see those "churches" on TV where they pull a random person from the crowd and have them act possesed, then the preacher places their hand on their forehead, and yells something like "Begone Satan!", then the person falls over as if they hit in the back of the head with a 2x4, and then they get up and immediately praise the lord?

Those people are normally pentecostal, which is a form of religion, like baptists, catholics and methodists and the such...

Baptists don't normally believe stuff like this and are usually straight preachers who don't rely on cheap ploys to enforce beliefs.

Sorry if that offended anyone, I wasn't looking to, but if you want to correct me with a more accurate portrayal, I will edit my post.

BTW, good joke ;)

The dividing line between Pentecostal churches and the mainline Protestant churches has been their new form of religious experience highlighted by speaking in tongues.

The Pentecostal experience may be defined as seeking and receiving the gift of speaking in tongues as a sign of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. In turn, that Baptism may be defined as the dwelling of the Holy Spirit in the individual believer. From this flows the other gifts of the Holy Spirit. The gifts include healing, prophecy, knowledge unattainable by natural means, and discernment of spirits (awareness of nonphysical beings such as angels and demons).
