I don't think the tone was too bad but some people's responses are sort of obnoxious on here. Sorry just had to say it. I've been in the presence of people being corrected by others in the faith and I guess it's a first hearing people say "Jesus did it too so get over it" Very interesting...anyway, great post and God bless...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-31594816585355597252012-08-20T15:08:14.957-07:002012-08-20T15:08:14.957-07:00"I would be laughing out loud at Trogdor'..."I would be laughing out loud at Trogdor's additions...if they weren't 100% accurate."<br /><br />*laughtears*<br /><br /><br />"BibC: My stomach kinda hurts...<br />LC2: God must be telling me something!"<br /><br />Yeah... seriously.

I knew something was off, but too young/immature to know what. I'm just thankful that my parents and pastors always emphasized the importance of returning to Scripture, comparing things to the Bible. . .

As a holder to the doctrines of grace fellowshipping in charismatic circles (long story, don't ask please lol) this is almost an exact picture of my Sunday mornings. I tweeted something along the lines of “that awkward moment when you quote scripture instead of a vision at a Pentecostal mens meeting” after a “bible” study that studied everything but the bible a few months ago, as a level of my disgust and frustrations with how the wolves are consuming the flock. There's a time for patient, loving discourse and a time for the iron fist in a velvet glove. I pray we are able to know the time for either one.Bipolar in Transitionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271045586639632487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-54765451526999499192012-08-17T07:56:01.910-07:002012-08-17T07:56:01.910-07:00Yeah, but if it's 5:45, it's 5:45.

So let me assure you that you all have NOT gone too far in this satire. In fact, much of it is sadly accurate. Full blown Pentecostalism is little more than neo-Gnostic superstitionism peppered with enough verses to dupe the masses. Much of the reason Pentecostalism is now mainstream is precisely because it has an entire language around which to wrap its deceptive teachings. I get addled when I hear these same phrases uttered thoughtlessly as normal Christian language. I tried to laugh at this post, but, from my experience, it's sadly true.
