I stand for the bible soundly taught. This is not done at any of these 'churches' as far as I understand. standing for the bible soundly taught always gets one 'heat'. it comes with the territory. If one can't stand the heat one gets out of the kitchen! I have NEVER been a fan of Houston etal at all.

Yes, the church is about it's members, their fellowship with God and hopefully, their dedication to outreach the community. But they do need a Minister/Pastor or whatever, to help develop their understanding of the scriptures and guide them. The Pastor should not so much be their servant as their "shepherd". "Peter, do you love me? Then feed my flock" It doesn't matter how many man the oars, if the one controlling the rudder is an idiot, than all is lost. Bring back EP,
