Bible Question: I was talking to a friend the other evening and he said that the pentacostal practice of "pleading the blood" of Jesus was unscriptural. I am unfamiliar with this practice but did want to know if it is scriptural and if so what scriptures? |
Bible Answer: Brianna, I ran across this old "pleading the blood" thread. I quess it depends on what they mean by "pleading the blood." But if it is prayer to God asking to be save by the blood of Jesu it would seem to be based on scriptural concepts if not mentioned in those words. See Hebrews 9:12, and Hebrews 12:24-25. One prayer which is said in my Church before receiving Holy Communion is, "May the body and blood of Christ bring us to life everlasting." If that isn't pleading the blood, I don't know what is. And I am not Pentecostal in denomination. |
