Subject: what is a charismatic church |
Bible Note: Ed, thank you being a defender of the faith that orthodox "mainline" Pentecostals hold dear and for setting the record straight on the splinter groups -- the interlopers if we may so label them -- who pervert that faith and deceive with the addition of doctrines contrary to the Pentecostal tradition. The Pentecostals are by no means unique in having their tradition skewered and adultered by fringe groups. Unfortunately it is becoming increasingly the "normal" thing to embrace the "abnormal" and it shouldn't be necessary, but is, to step inside any congregation which calls itself Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist and so on and take a closer look at just what is going on inside their doors before taking the crucial step to join them in fellowship and support. --Hank |
