Subject: what is a charismatic church |
Bible Note: 2nd Samuel 22 Your right there is a very definite dividing line between Pentecostal and Word of Faith. As I said before Word of Faith is metaphysical, in that something simply doesn't exist until you speak it into existence, which is complete nonsense! As to healing, Pentecostals pray for healing and they expect God to heal ( to do otherwise would be double minded). However they understand God may heal miraculously and do it instantly, over a period of time, or even through a Doctor. Although there are some really strict sects of Pentecostal that refuse to use doctors. Most also believe God is sovereign and may withhold healing, again there are some sects that refuse to accept this. Pentecostalism has gotten a black eye from the old miracle healing preachers and now from the name and claim it, life is a bowl of cherries TV evangelist. If you listen long enough you will hear them contradict themselves and each other. Basically they will say or do anything to get the faith “seed” in. Don’t get me started!! EdB |
