1 | Scriptural evidence? | Bible general Archive 2 | DocTrinsograce | 131858 | ||
Thank you, Ed. If you insist on talking about my own experience, then I will again answer open and honestly. I actually have "pentecostal" roots, at least that was the group that I became a part of when I was first saved -- I will always be in their debt for their instruction. I was a member of Jack Hayford's church in Southern California. I have been in many so-called "Spirit-Filled" services. The consistent impression that I came away with were people who needed emotional pumping up in order to remain obedient to the Lord from week to week. Interest in careful exposition of scripture was almost non-existent. I watched people with eyes still red from weeping in the service or even being "slain in the spirit" go out to the parking lot and engage in gossip and criticism. I can honestly say that in over twenty years of attendance, service, teaching, and preaching, that I have seen no greater hunger for obedience and holiness to the Lord than I what I am seeing in my current church. In addition, my brothers and sisters there are growing in love for one another, and bearing much fruit. Nevertheless, thank you, Ed, for the suggestion. |

Doc I respect Jack Hayford to no end, but unless you have attended a Pentecostal church where it's roots are wrought in tardying at the altar in the presence of God you have no idea. I have been to "Pentecostal" mega churches and I have been to the Pentecostal churches seeking God there is no comparison. However if you satisfied where your at fantastic! Just don't suppose all Pentecostal churches are spiritually weak or that the Hayford's church was a true representation of Pentecostalism. Incidently it was you that may the subjective inference that spiritually is lacking in the Pentecostal church. That is why I thought you needed personal experience in the area. Sorry EdB |
