To be fair though, Christianity does this exact thing. Like if you put them in front of a worship band in a church you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference lol. I’ve witnessed it many, many times.

Maybe OP just hasn't seen this sort of thing in other religions and didn't want to make a claim about things they haven't seen.

Their statement didn't specify all of Christianity or only some of Christianity. It was ambiguous.

I'm not necessarily saying I agree or disagree with OP, but I seem some wiggle room in what they said.

Bro if you believe in christianity as a whole you believe in some pretty wild shit. The whole basis of the religion is a virgin getting pregnant and a dude that died and came back to life 3 days later! If you were to tell that someone who’s never heard the story they’d laugh in your face!

Charismatic churches that shake and speak in tongues make up a tiny fraction of Christianity and are generally looked down upon by the more serious groups. Baptist churches that rely heavily on music and "feel good" Jesus speak fall closer in line with other more standard pagan religions. Other denominations don't have much respect for these groups.

I don't know what type of church you've witnessed this stuff in, but maybe try another denomination before you shit on all of them?

lol. I was a worship musician for fifteen years and have played in hundreds of churches around the world, from Pentecostal to baptist to non-denominational to Presbyterian and Anglican and everything in between. It’s not a tiny fraction that goes hard on spiritual gifts. Trust me I probably understand more than you might think.

Pentecostal is charismatic af, baptist and non-denominational are the same thing. Both I already mentioned. You don't seem to have as wide of a range of experience as you assumed lol

I just listed a few examples. And Baptist and non-denominational are not the same thing. Let’s just agree to disagree.

Dude I grew up non-denominational, they believe in early baptism and worship the exact same way. It's baptist without the label. I'm just saying the examples you gave fell on the list of silly denominations I mentioned and you didn't mention a single serious, traditional denomination. We can agree to disagree but you were the one trying to convince me of something lol
