"Fetch the Bible," he commanded. The dog bounded to the bookshelf,
scrutinized the books, located the Bible, and brought it to the owner.
"Now find Psalm 23," he commanded. The dog dropped the Bible to the
floor, and showing marvelous dexterity with his paws, leafed through and
finding the correct passage, pointed to it with his paw. The pastor
and his wife were very impressed and purchased the dog.
That evening, a group of church members came to visit. The pastor and
his wife began to show off the dog, having him locate several Bible
verses. The visitors were very impressed. One man asked, "Can he do
regular dog tricks, too?" "I haven't tried yet," the pastor replied.
He pointed his finger at the dog. "HEEL!" the pastor commanded. The dog
immediately jumped on a chair, placed one paw on the pastor's forehead
and began to howl.
The pastor looked at his wife in shock and said, "Good Lord! He's
Pentecostal!"

Good one, Paulette! G

Pentecostal congregations tend to be a bit more charismatic; dancing in
church, speaking in tongues, faith healing, etc. Baptist congregations tend
to be more conservative and more inhibitive in their worship. The play on
words "heel" (sounds like "heal") is what makes the joke funny.

Cheers,
