The Holy Ghost People by Peter Adair, was created in 1967. It exposes people of the Pentecostal religion, and their unusual rituals and ceremonies that they partake in. While watching the movie I kept on wondering why someone would want to sit through one of their services and participate in such odd rituals and behaviors.

The most awkward yet unfortunately prevalent of human situations is unrequitedness: friends drift; lovers part; friends don’t even become lovers. One adores the other to little or no reciprocation. Perhaps unknowingly, the fifteen million members the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are in the same predicament: they claim to know the Christian God and his son, yet their doctrine greatly distorts basic tenets of Christianity (Embry). By Biblical definition, a Christian is anyone who accepts Jesus’ death as payment for their faults.
