I knew there was a reason I didn't like green beans.

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
God spoke through that minister. Who could argue with that?
Anyone who relies on the Word of God as a foundation and filter for stupidity. Jesus never harmed anyone in order to cast a devil. He just spoke to evil, and it departed.
I've always been disgusted by people who wrestle demons to the floor (meaning people with demons), and went through other contortions in their attempts to free the person. (Who may actually need deliverance, btw)
Jesus said that these things come by prayer and fasting. (When the disciples couldn't cast out a devil.) If you can't cast a devil out by simply speaking to it in Jesus' name, it seems that some personal sacrifice is in order.
