Yes, a divided house cannot stand.

Re: I Prefer Pentecostal
Pentecostals are all about separation, so why would they NOT want to be labelled " Pentecostal?" 
I prefer Christian. I follow Jesus. He's my separation...

That's when we started using it when we left the UPC. Frankly I was trying to break away from the image that they had, without stepping away from the expericance.

As opposed to a Christian? Or a Baptist it's the Pentecostals? Sorry I don't buy it. There is nothing inherit in being labeled a Pentecostal that stresses separation over any other denomination

Seriously... some of you have become a "legalist" in your reading comprehension. The "spirit" of what she said is this: Pentecostals are known for separation/standards.

I prefer Pentecostal.
And I know you all care deeply about my preferences.  |

Wow, some of you have become psychics in being able to know what the spirit of what someone said contrary to what they actually DID say
