I think it’s *easyism*. the preachers are too damned lazy to preach, and the hearers too damned lazy to learn

Now that you mention it, I have NEVER heard a Pentecostal expound or open the scriptures to understanding. I’m not saying they don’t, I’ve just never found one doing it.

There’s plenty of that in non-Pentecostal churches, too.

Doesn’t have anything to do with Holy Spirit’s manifestations or non-manifestations though I’ve observed that where the Word is not well and fervently taught, Holy Spirit tends to avoid making a very big showing.

Wise Pentecostals have noted that one MUST have THE WORD IN ITS FULLNESS AND HOLY SPIRIT IN HIS FULLNESS to have a true New Testament Church that’s balanced, alive and on fire for God doing great exploits for Jesus.

I agree.
