Why are Pentecostals so hateful??
I don't know if this is something that is unique to my area or not, but the Pentecostals here are so hateful!
There is no love. If you don't go to their church (literally their 4 walls) you are shunned, ignored, etc. They won't even "fellowship" with other Pentecostal churches in the city. Or even family, unless they attend the same church.
I do not get this. What happed to loving others? What happened to banding together with our Christian brothers and sisters and helping each other along the way?
And if they think people who go to other churches aren't saved (not their call, but just for argument sake), wouldn't that be MORE reason to be salt and light and help lead them in what they consider to be the right direction?
I have even heard people close to me say they "don't care what happens to that church or anyone in it" when their own siblings and parents go to "that" church, not to mention people they literally grew up with.
How in the world can you love on and minister to a lost and dying world if you can't love other Christians or even your own family??
