Daily Kos is linking her to a Domionist movement because of the Assembly of God connection.
There is a link to the kos post in my post on this dangerous cult that has been infecting Assemblies of God this summer at the heretical “Lakeland Revival” of Todd Bentley and the whackjobs of GOD TV:

Most people do not understand the link between Rick Warren and the Dominionist movement.
Warren’s mentor is C. Peter Wagner, a proponent of William Branham’s Manifest Sons of God heresies that fuel the Dominionist movement.
Sarah Palin needs to bone up on her apologetics as her Assemblies of God was for more than half a century opposed to this heresy UNTIL this past summer at the false Lakeland revival — backed by C Peter Wagner.
This is why she is being called a Dominionist Stalking Horse by the Daily Kos.
***I’m sure that warms the cockles or your Catholic bashing heart.***
Grow up, this isn’t 1960.
I could care less if she is Catholic or Mormon. I vote issues. I merely posed the question because the earliest reports said she was a Catholic.
Making the thread "about" individual Freepers is a form of "making it personal."
Ping to post 99 from AKStafford to me. It appears she left the AoG in 2002 for the Bible church.
Don’t jump on me. The status of Gamecock as a Catholic basher is well established by routine postings on this forum. It would also be expected that Gamecock would be as pleased to hear Palin went from Catholic to Pentecostal as I am saddened.
Rest assured, if her pastor ever preached against homosexuality, it will be splashed on the front page of the news. It will be likened to the rantings of Jeremiah Wright. “See, see - Palin’s pastor is a hatemonger!”
**The status of Gamecock as a Catholic basher**
I don’t bash Catholics. I merely point out errors on Catholicism, both doctrinal and administrative.

You can’t be consistent in saying you don’t care what a candidate’s religion is, can you? Think about what beliefs someone might have about God that might make them dangerous as a leader if they followed those beliefs. So knowing what they believe God thinks they should do is very important.
She did belong for many years to an Assembly of God congregation and still goes there to worship from time to time so it is possible that her beliefs are in keeping with the Assembly of God teachings.
We’ve had Protestent presidents, a Catholic president, some with no “religion” but who attended the National Cathedral, anyway, and have Muslim in Congress (I may be wrong on that ~ he may be in the House or the Senate.)
If a person says he’s Catholic but believes in birth control/abortions, or says he’s Bhuddist but kills insects, which part of that person’s beliefs am I apt to vote for?
I will vote for the person who not only SAYS he believes something, but ACTS as if he believes it, both in public and in private.
If you told me every morning before you went to work that you loved me, but the rest of our time together was spent in you beating me up physically, emotionally or sexually, what am I going to believe? That you love me? Or that you lie?
Sarah Palin has shown her beliefs in everything she has done. Her life has been under public scrutiny for a long time, and to my mind, she has filled all my expectations. Maybe because I can read between the lines of her public life and see that she is honorable.
As for “not being consistent” if I say I don’t care what a candidate’s religion is, what is inconsistent about it? I’m not going to NOT vote for an otherwise qualified candidate just because that persons religion isn’t the same as mine.
We are all guided by personal revelation. However, that revelation stops at the walls of our families, and does NOT extend into someone else’s family, just because we think it should.
Last time I looked, Sarah Palin was an American, an Alaskan, and a governor. Her political past determines her political future. A lot of people profess no religion at all, and yet they are kind, generous and obedient to the Ten Commandments.
God will tell Sarah what is best for her to do. It’s not my job, or anyone elses, to second-guess either one of them.
