You have been listening to too many Dottie Rambo songs and thinking that it is scripture!
I cannot find one scriptural reference where Jesus or Mary or Joseph rejected the GOLD and GIFTS at birth. Wonder why Jesus had to have a treasurer - one to hold the bag? Do you think he slept on the side of the road on the dirt?
READ THE BIBLE!
Just WHAT did Sister Paula do to you guys that you are so angry at her?

I agree that the early church did not take a vow of poverty. There are great poor and wealthy Christians. But I would not describe either condition as Biblically normative.
As far as I'm concerned, I dislike anything charismatic or pentecostal and feel I have Biblical warrant for it.
