Easily offended. One of the most telling signs of spiritual immaturity.
Forgiving quickly and thoroughly is a mark of maturity.
Refusing to hang on to old hurts and wounds like they are crutches is a sign of spiritual maturity.

Excellent! Both of these posts are right on and indicate maturity on the part of the writers.
Another mark of spiritual maturity is the ability to use others right and remain faithful and loyal even if they haven't and aren't. Like Jesus did.
And oh ..... you don't have to be aged or considered "old or older" to be spiritually mature. I've met some younger folks who are more mature than those who are possibly decades their senior.

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
