If I have ever given any indication that I accept the credibility of the pentecostal movement as I understand it, in any way, shape or form then I apologize completely.
Whether it's under the guise of Catholicism or Protestantism or whatever, I firmly believe that the whole thing from Toronto to Brownsville, from Tulsa to Heritage USA and all points in between is completely and totally without any Divine approval whatsoever. I believe it to be a movement inspired by and propagated by the demonic whether it's a self-ordained preacher slaying people "in the spirit" or a Catholic priest babbling in tongues during the Consecration. On the other hand I'm also willing to accept that the overwhelming majority of people involved are just excitable, credulous, well intentioned dupes.
What's weird is the apparent implication that I must accept your beliefs as legitimate or face the wrath of a Holy Spirit who can't find his own definite article; while you mock EVERYTHING I believe about the Church God established, outside of which there is no salvation and into which He calls all men.
So yeah, Jesse DuPlantis and his fellow travelers are either a) bombed out of their minds, b) stupid or c) willing agents of the devil himself intent on the destruction of souls. Maybe each at different times or all three at once. There might be a d) but I firmly believe without reservation that whatever d) might be it isn't "faithfully following Christ according to the light they have received" or any variation on that... period.
Truly I don't see how that's all that different from what you think about what I believe anyhow...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Welllllll!
I’m glad you cleared THAT up.
God have mercy.
