Bible Note: Dear Ed, I agree with your conclusion, without agreeing with your hermeneutic. By the way, I had not realized that Pentecostals held to Covenantalism. I had thought that they held entirely to Dispensationalism. It was good to hear. Now, I would like to share one quote with you: "What is the Lord's supper?
