“why is AP playing the religion card?”
Because the race card ain’t working no more.
Bob Bechtel was on TV praising Obama for graduating from Harvard Law School magnum cum laude.
And all this time I thought Obama was anti-gun...
It is interesting just how clueless the media is about Christianity as a whole. I understand not knowing the in and outs of Pentecostals (heck, most Catholics tend to lump all non Catholics together, and the inverse is true also), but the media even gets the basics wrong.
It shows 7,466 right now.
A Christian is anyone who follows the gospel of Christ, regardless of their churches denomination.
And just who do Gorski and Zoll think they are, telling ANYONE what is and isn't Christianity, and what various chritian denominations believe or don't believe? These haters know nothing of Christianity, and have no authority or education to do so.
There were many things that started to bother me, and I regret dragging my children through some of it now. I'm glad I had sense enough not to let anyone lay hands and pray over them to speak in tongues, wish I'd had sense enough to avoid it for myself.
Normal Sunday worship here didn't ordinarily break out in tongues speaking, but it may be different elsewhere.
Nope. Sorry. That article only appeared in an alternate universe where the Associated Press does not act as the house organ for the far left wing of the Democrat party.
Another non-story...I know lots of folks who belong to Pentacostal Holiness churches, and they are fine people.
This just bring up the question; What kind of "Christianity" is Obama and his Rev. Wright pals "church", who's patrons are Muslim? How can Obama be a "Christian" when he isn't even baptized?
Whay aren't Gorski and Troll asking those questions?
“I mean really Palin is Assembly of God and why is this an issue?”
It is an issue because Palin didn’t describe herself as “...a snake-eating, bible-thumpin’ freak”
Nothing less would have satisfied the AP religion reporters, who, like most religion reporters, know nothing about Christianity.
We don’t eat snakes, we handle them. ;->
I hope they keep persecuting her....The left is simply going to embarrass itself.
I was raised Church of the Brethren in Ohio, became Lutheran in High School, went to a Baptist Church, a Community Church, and attend the Catholic Church occasionally with family members. My beliefs have not changed, but the infighting in some churches is more then I can take.
I call myself a Christian. Since when are Pentacostal Churches not Christian anyway?
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
Get used to it. They're going to play every card they can think of, even some that haven't been invented yet.
“OH NO, a Pentecostal!”
Is this the best they can do?
Actually, I was thinking more of the old-time geeks - which is what AP religion reporters think evangelicals are!

It's in direct opposition to Gods plan. The Holy Spirit flows throughout the entire Church community. Seven streams for seven churches.
Isaiah's words show that the river of divine water which flows from the breast of Christ (Jn.7:38) has been divided into enough branches to reach all parts of the dispersion -- the number 'seven' the metaphoric representation of the totality and perfection of its distribution.
As a result, these 'seven holy springs' of God now bathe the seven continents of the world. These streams mirror the churches through which they flow -- all the holy lighthouses that shine the message of Christ's salvation toward God's people who are lost and held captive in Babylon. After the dispersion God's people were everywhere on the planet, speaking thousands of different languages. Stretching from one end of the earth to the other, this dispersion was much too widespread for one church or one language alone to make the call to return. Many churches in many languages were needed. Especially since God's call for return (the preaching of Christ) has been going on now for almost two thousand years.
CHRISTIAN churches lead anyone who passes through their doors towards the Gospel. Once a person receives the Gospel, it is then up to them individually to follow it, and in turn know if that church and it's preachers are following the gospel correctly.
Ultimately, the foundation of Christs church is within each and every individual.
