so, should we believe that the blogs about Presbyterians and Pentecostals are all sanctioned by the various groups? And even crystallinks is sanctioned by the Presbyterians/Pentecostals? Or do you come out and condemn those heresies?
See my above.
Jack Hayford, James Robison, Pat Robertson, . . . a list of well known folks around the world quickly speak out on any significant heresy and most not so significant—usually they speak out in very clear and unequivocal terms. And the vast majority of Pentecostalism/Charismania concur. Certainly all those with a track record of demonstrated capacity and habit of hearing Holy Spirit concur—regardless of denomination etc.
And it’s not just the leaders who concur—all the better discerning in the congregations concur and all those who pay attention to them tend to concur.
I’ve mentioned the business of the issue of entertainment vs worship that was lobbed my direction. My congregation is not unique in deploring that. It’s a fuzzy line and it’s often drawn differently in different places. However, NONE of the better anointed congregations have any patience for that spirit and mentality.
When the correction began coming out about that, it was taken to heart by virtually all those congregations who’s leadership was earnestly seeking God’s face—regardless of denomination.
I think that is very, VERY New Testament. It’s not bureaucratic nor even particularly political. It’s Spirit Led. That’s God’s way.
