   Jon Aamodt says a Holy Spirit renewal movement in his congregation represents the blurring of denominational lines
   
   Denominational identity is slowly fading away. That's the belief of pastor Jon Aamodt of Valley Life Church (VLC) in Aloha, Ore., who bases his opinion on the fact that his Baptist church is one of several experiencing Pentecostal renewal.
   
   VLC, which grew out of the Baptist tradition, is affiliated with Atlanta-based Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF). The growing network is part of a new wave of congregations that some say represent a postmodern, post-denominational body of Christ.
   
   Members of VLC support a view that many call "open but cautious," a view that embraces charismatic gifts and the manifestations that occur when the Holy Spirit moves in power, Aamodt said.
   
   "Charismatic renewal has been blowing through the Baptist movement since the late '60s," he noted. "I don't think we're going to see the whole Baptist movement become charismatic.

   "Charismatic renewal has been blowing through the Baptist movement since the late '60s," Aamodt noted.

   Aamodt has been in contact with a growing number of churches nationwide that have been, he said, "hit by the Spirit."
