Unfortunately, what many have done is take a position, and then go to the Bible to find scriptures to support their position. This is backwards.
You are certainly not backslid for questioning, although I understand exactly why you feel that way. I am right where you are right now.
Many Pentecostals are terrified of grace. They think that teaching grace will cause people to just live any ol' way. A true relationship with God will prevent that, of course. We still want to please God if we love Him. When I learned about what grace really was, it changed my world.
Keep seeking God. I agree completely with Sherri's post. Walk carefully.
