“the prosperity Gospel that Pentecostalism offers.”
True “Pentecostalism” does not preach nor follow a prosperity gospel.
Christians filled with the Holy Ghost follow the teachings of Jesus Christ: You cannot serve both God and mammon (money, material wealth).
The Apostle Paul continued the Lord’s teaching by warning the love of money is a root of evil. Paul also said those who would be rich fall in to many snares and temptations which drown the soul in perdition (I Timothy 6:9).
Just wanted you to know the REAL GOSPEL of Jesus Christ does not preach getting rich or being prosperous with worldly riches. The Apostle Paul acknowledged there were some wealthy people who had become Christians and admonished them to be rich in good works.
There may be some false preachers in Honduras telling people otherwise. But the true, dedicated Holy Ghost filled Christians will follow what the Lord Jesus Christ said and also the doctrines of the Apostles as clearly written in the New Testament. As Christians we are not to strive to be wealthy or rich. This is a clear teaching from the Apostle Paul. Doesn’t mean we are to be in poverty and never able to pay our bills—Paul makes it clear we are to work. God will supply our needs. But never is it taught in the entire New Testament that we are to pursue vast wealth and seek to become rich.
Sorry friend, I left two Pentecostal churches in Latin America because of the prosperity gospel. I wasn’t shooting from the hip. I know from experience.
