Is this your experience of pentecostal/charismatic churches?

Have you noticed how the pastors are always psychologically inflating you to do all these grandiose things %26quot;for God?%26quot;.



Every man and his dog is encouraged to %26quot;preach to tens of thousands%26quot;, or %26quot; preach to nations%26quot; or %26quot;lead thousands to God%26quot; or %26quot;change this city/town/area for God%26quot; or %26quot;save nations%26quot; and every other type of bloody superhero activity.



Personally, I got sick to death of their rhetoric, and we all had to be these superheroes and change nations, the world, our town, our place of work etc. What I really hated is that these idiots had no regard whatsover for the person who was simply a good husband/wife, a good parent, a good employee etc. Oh no, God has all these extravagant plans, and each one of you are going to change.............well, you know.



Bloody idiots. Personally, I think that when you enter a pentecostal/charismatic church, you should be given a uniform once you become an official member, symbolic of your calling.



I suggest a mask, cape and tights.Is this your experience of pentecostal/charismatic churches?yes and it is especially ridiculous when they start screaming and jumping up and down. Personally I am not convinced of anything by somebody who can't talk in a normal tone of voice.

oh god, not tights. Fat bald old preachers in tights would be more than I could stand.

ROFL!!!



Please, oh please, do not suggest that for a uniform. Somebody may take you seriously and do it. :-))))



I had a similar reaction to yours. However, it's important to remember that some people actually do come closer to God through these %26quot;revivals.%26quot; To each his own, I guess.
Dead on.



When I was a member of a similar denomination, I was constantly looking for my way to be a warrior and my special purpose in life. It was excruciating, because I always felt like I was letting God down.



They are very deceptive and collect broken people who are truly seeking Gods will, they then use them till they have nothing left and leave the church. It is a shame.
nobody is called to be just a good husband or wife. if your son or daughter was dying and you had the ability to save them would you just say %26quot;nope I do not have to save you because I'm a good husband and that is all I need to do%26quot; ? the unsaved ARE those people and they are going to die if you just sit there !!! the bible does tell us that if we had the chance to tell them about God but we choose not to the WE will be held responsible. now stop being ashamed of Jesus and the fact that you are a christian and tell others about heaven and salvation
Thank you so much for stereotyping us all and calling me an idiot because I attend a pentecostal church. I've got a challenge for you. Go and attend every single pentecostal church in existance, and then come back and make whatever statement you may have. Surely since you're oh so intelligent, you wouldn't go saying that pentecostals are a bunch of idiots without knowing them all first.
