NOT

the main Pentecostal denominations—particularly in South and Central America and in Asia!

Sheesh . . . seems sometimes that all the Vatican affiliates know how to do is put out garbage information.

I’m surprised the UMC isn’t embracing this. They’re so multi-culti and artsy-fartsy it ain’t funny. Only the Unitarians really have them beat in the Kumbaya, gay-friendly, Islam is a religion of peace, etc. realm. Maybe it’s the Jews they objected to?

OK...So, the Methodists are losing members. What about the growth of the evangelical and pentecostal churches?

When a denomination loses its way, the Protestant is completely free to find another group of “Saints” with whom to celebrate the Gospel.

Unlike Catholicism, when a Protestant leaves their denomination they are NOT condemned to hell. Why? Because we do not worship the denomination or recognize the denomination as being a conduit to God’s saving grace. To do this would be like worshiping an idol. Jesus is our savior, not the denomination.
