A passing fad.
You'd have a hard time convincing the one that was set free and delivered from epilepsy and alcoholism.
To him it is likely the power of the Most High God, through the name like no other name, Jesus. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead. The life-changing Holy Spirit.
I'm sure the Pharisees were muttering similar things to one another when Jesus was on earth turning their little world upside down!
Praise God for the power that changes lives!
“A passing fad.”
The work of the Holy Spirit is not a passing fad and Isaiah 5 says woe to those who call good evil. You should rejoice whenever a soul is saved.
No, I don’t think so. God is moving in mysterious ways in ALL denominations, trying to get us to leave behind tradition and put on Christ. With all that’s going to happen in the near future, we will HAVE to put on Christ and Him alone to make it through—natural (supposedly) disasters, economic crisis, food shortages, oil shortages, attacks, probably nuclear, and on and on. I don’t think a lot of our barriers will matter much then.
