YUP.

I think it's important to insure that such groups are spiritually, Scripturally balanced; humble, loving, warm.

Nothing stinks worse than a very skewed, sick Pentecostal group.

But nothing is more Christlike or powerful than a balanced super anointed one, either. And nothing grows the Body of Christ more, either.

I went to a very strange charismatic Methodist church in college.

The service was full of people claiming to speak in tongues. The sermon had little to do with scripture.

They claimed if you were really saved you would speak in tongues.

I never went back to that church, and it still creeps me out thinking about that service.

I just said earlier that the church that I am in now is supposedly pentecostal, but I have never been creeped out by it. My church definitely is big on reading the Bible.
