While Ted Cruz proudly proclaims he is an Evangelical Christian, his campaign takes pains to hide the truth that Cruz and his pastor father, Rafael Cruz are Pentecostal Christians, a fact further hidden by having Ted and Heidi Cruz’s belong to the congregation of First Baptist Church, a Southern Baptist church in Houston, as their home church. Both Cruz’s parents, his father Rafael a Cuban-born immigrant, and his mother Eleanor, born in Wilmington, Delaware, grew up in Catholic families. Both were among the millions of that left the Catholic Church since the 1960s to embrace Pentecostalism, a Christian movement estimated to make up 4.4 percent of the U.S. population, accounting for some 13 percent of evangelical churches in the United States. - See more at: http://eastorlandopost.com/ted-cruz-closet-pentecostal#sthash.M95M8HTV.dpuf

What the. 501c3 really says is that if the Goobermint decided you are not a “real” church as the chose to define it, they can revoke it and sieze all goods obtained falsely under the charter, including the Church, the grounds, and the homes of all paid staff!
That is why closing the charter is imperative with the present Government redefinition of Church “rules”. It will not be long until the Homosexual agenda begins to destroy the Church, that has been it’s agenda all along.

Have to say, you accusing ME of ‘bad manners’ is pretty funny.
Oh, and also.... It lacks a predicate.
His wife is SDA. I wonder about a man who hides his religion by claiming to be Baptist when he is not. It appears he joined the Baptists Church on paper for the public to know. Ted Cruz is too sneaky and deceitful for me.
Paul who wrote both 1 and 2 Corinthians is referring to the Greeks /pagans speaking in tongues as their is no example in the Bible of anyone speaking to God in tongues other then pagans. Pentecostals can think 1 Corinthians 14 justifies said, but; the Bible records no incident of any believer ever speaking to God in any other than normal human language. You may refer to Acts written by Luke, specifically 17.22-34 where Luke says Paul spoke to the men of Athens. He spoke of the altar with the inscription “To An Unknown God.” the Greeks were the pagans who spoke in tongues. The bible is clear “that the Lord knows what we need and to say the Lord’s Prayer.”
...oh wait.
