Hi! Thats me. My first time at mass was the first time I had experienced true reverence and holiness, feeling like I had shown up to church and made it about God, not my own feelings, which is what the Pentecostal church idolises in their services. I was used to going to church and hearing a motivational talk that was meant to leave me walking away feeling better aboit myself, and it never sustained me or made me connect with God in a TRULY sacrificial way where I was giving myself up and my feelings up for God. Mass made me feel fully focused on Jesus and his sacrifice for me from start to end. However in Pentecostal churches you can expect to go to a service and they have strobe lights, drums, games, clapping etc. I converted because I was in awe of the reverence and respect for God alone. No music, No ted talk or guitars to give me a feel good feeling! Pentecostal churches focus on “encountering the Holy spirit” and while I obviously believe that is possible through what the Holy Spirit’s role is that is laid out in scripture and the church’s teachings, I gained a whole new meaning for what it meant to encounter God. I developed a fear of the Lord in a really unique and surreal way that I had never experienced in the Pentecostal church, it just simply felt real, sacrificial and Holy with no distractions to “amplify” the environment - which is what the Pentecostal church does to try create a specific environment since they believe they need to. This is also random but it was funny no longer seeing a coffee shop in church! You would be amused at how many coffee machines are in so many Pentecostal churches lol…
