At least what we think the New Testament church should look like, this is considering that it may look entirely different from what we think it should look like. At least its something to think about.

I'm thinking part of 'our' problem (in the past<grin>) was forming opinions about how the church should look based on 'our' interpretation of the book of Acts and other NT books; instead of allowing God to be in charge of His church and it 'looking like'(being like and acting like) He wanted.
Also I believe D L Moody was considered "Holiness", but wasn't 'into' denominations. He was know for preaching the 3 R's...man was Ruined by the fall, Redeemed by the blood, and Regenerated by the spirit. I always thought he was in theology a Baptist, similar to Spurgeon.

That's what we call "hitting the nail on the head".
The problem is men will always incorporate their backgrounds into a move of the Spirit thinking they have God's endorsement. Not that everything is wrong but total surrender to God would change things.
I do like a lot of the things D.L. Moody is saying in his sermons but he strays off and fills in the blanks with scenarios that probably never occurred. I never read much of Spurgeon, what little I did read, seemed super dry. I have several of his books I might try to look into them again, maybe it was the way I was perceiving them at the time.
The one good thing, like I said earlier, was that Moody brings out the character of men in the Bible. I may try to share some things later if I can get motivated.
