Well, Praise the Lord. Someone FINALLY posted basically the reasons why I left the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement for good in 2004.
I am now a KJV-Believing, Independent, Fundamental, Baptist. Which I was when I was first saved, but switched due to a school change; that was 21 years ago.
I have been saved since June 7, 1982. I was 9 years old. I am now 39 years old. I have known Jesus for 29 years. Praise the Lord! I have not always acted like it, but I digress.
Glad to see someone in them circles has finally stood up and said “enough!” But if I know that crowd, like I do; all that written will fall on deaf ears.

I have a health issue that keeps me from eating about anything but oats and most meat. Long story.
Anyway, I’ve been prayed for time without count and have been struggling with dealing with this for years, not accepting it but learning to live with it.
The single biggest contributing factor to the spiritual struggles I’ve had surrounding this have been as a result of the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement and its theology.
Nor have I been impressed with the lifestyle and behavior of the majority of the high profile figures within that same movement.
I sure do believe that the gifts are for today, nevertheless, I agree with every point he made.
It’s also interesting. Rarely do I hear of someone LEAVING the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement. The whole flow seems to be in to it with it’s prosperity mentality.
By the way, welcome to FR.
