"The recommendation 'is not intended to judge the salvation of anyone, but is intended to promote greater unity among the church body and the community we serve,' the copy supplied to the Herald-Leader read."
Be ye not unequally yoked, (they leave out the rest of it).
I have also heard the argument of God dividing the people after the tower of Babel.
I also heard about the tribes of Israel not allowed to marry outside their tribe. Haven't run across that one myself.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter

Tower of Babel: divided based on language..
Not Marry outside of the tribe? never read that.. anyway it wouldnt be because of color.. Or Moses wouldnt have married a Ethiopian Woman (numbers 12)

OH MY!! It's astounding to think that people who claim to be christians actually believe this stuff! But then again, it does stand to reason considering the spiritual elitism that permeates the OP movement because of "the whole truth". Just goes to show that there will always be some who will justify thinking less of others - regardless of their religious affiliation.
I've actually heard the "what fellowship hath light with darkness" passage butchered to defend this dung.
