For my whole life the church has had a pretty consistent feeling/vibe. Examples

- Fairly calm/reserved speaking tones in meetings

- Patriotic law abiding people

- Leaders portrayed (real or not) as humble servants

- Revelation is a personal quiet experience not to be overshared

It seems that each of these and more were completely different in the early church

- Raucous speaking in tongues meetings

- Constantly at odds with local and federal governments

- Leaders were demigods

- Visions were common and widely discussed

My question. Was there a concerted shift in the image from JS BY days to the current feeling? Or was it just natural over the generations? Who were the big contributors?
