There’s still enough

‘fire and brimstone’

‘fear of The Lord’

‘Fire of Holy Spirit’

type leaders at the tops of such Pentecostal denominations that anyone who gets identified as not believing the major doctrines of the faith and the mostly literal interpretation and infallible Word of God gets booted out pretty quickly.

They get defrocked quickly, as well.

Sometimes Presbyters in local [usually State wide areas]

will defrock pastors a bit too much for not agreeing with the Presbyter’s pet notions. Most of the time, that’s not the case. Folks are defrocked only for disbelieving the basic doctrines of the faith.

Thanks for the response, and I, for one, appreciate knowing this.
