This is an example of how the Hillary campaign along with the MSM would portray Ted Cruz as a religious extremist.

Which will create a backlash driving up turnout from the country’s huge Christian majority.

No such upside when Trump is accused of being a sexist, racist, adulterous billionaire who used his businesses to screw over and cheat the middle class.

“So if you only give eight percent is that considered not tithing?”

I think that’s going to depend on who you ask.

“There was a good reason for tongues at Pentecost as they were spreading the word to diverse groups of foreigners”

That’s exactly why Jeb Bush and Rubio speak in tongues in their appearances here in America in the American Presidential election cycle.

Public record? Please, show me what public record reveals anyone’s tithing.

Uh, do you pay taxes? Cruz released his tax returns when he ran for Senate. It's really not that difficult to find with a little effort on your part. He's also spoken about it. Again, not hard to find.

Exactly what is this article trying to suggest? That “Pentecostals” are somehow suspect or not Christian? I think John Ashcroft would disagree, as would Sarah Palin and millions of other Christians just in this country alone.

Not to be argumentative, I think you instincts, whether you believe it or not are spirit led, but I take the Bible over everything else. I would want a Christian to be able to both work in the world in any capacity, politician or otherwise, and not be ashamed to share the gospel, not be ashamed to plainly present the faith to lost people in a fallen world. Dominionism is a worldly based theology - not biblical.

Cruz attended a pretty conventional Baptist church as a child. I don’t see any evidence that he’s changed much over the years.

Drudge is the messenger. I’m sure that he considers himself to be part of the vetting process during the primary campaign season.

Messenger? Is this really news worthy of a Drudge Headline. Is today's news really THAT slow?

Will we now see stories of Hillary attending a satanic ritual?

No need, that’s a given.

“Drudge mocking Ted Cruz, his father, their Christian religion, their Christian followers just like they do at the Godless liberal websites. “

He’s not mocking Cruz. He’s letting us play the videos ourselves. I find the videos scary. Cruz supporters think he is anointed by God. They seem to think they know the mind of God.

One of the videos talks about getting the wealth and controlling everything. I don’t want this brand of Evangelicalism.

Clearly you are not following the thread you many not be bashing, but there are plenty of others that are.

I realized that there is a definite and growing anti-Christian movement here on FR when I stated that I wanted a follower of God as our leader one that could bend his knee in prayer knowing that he needed help at times. Boy did that bring them out!

Good explanation of Dominionism vs Evangelicalism.

Please tell me what would be an acceptable way to call Ted Cruz a lying opportunist without it being perceived here on FR by the Cruz supporters as being against Christianity. I’m truly interested.

I am not in the closet as a Pentecostal.

And I support Trump.

I think the article has its own agenda, but the personally I don’t like the notion that ANYONE would consider themselves to be anointed for the purpose of leading a federal district.
