The problem is everyone of them left scarred and really internally unure if they could go to other Pentecostal churches because of what they had been taught for years.

We have several in my church and my friends church in another city has several.

These people are the result of bad Pastoring in a bad system focuses entirely their "gospel" on other churches being bad and a constant diet of nothing but what you should not be doing (ie watching TV etc etc).

While the members are partly to blame for being ignorant and enablers the problem is the Pastoring.
Please let us know what pastor this is so we can pray for him

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??


Hey, When you are the only ones going to Heaven, and that God couldn't possible accept heathen pants wearing short haired women and tattooed shorts wearing men, and GOD FORBID, those nasty people that reject man-made standards then you have a right to put that nose in the air and be hateful to everyone except your "chosen few"! Remember, Jesus never said anything about loving others, he NEVER called Love a fruit of the Spirit and of course He went around with only other King James Speaking Apostolic Christian Believers and NEVER one time dirtied Himself by ministering to harlots and tax collectors and other VILE sinners!!! I mean feel free to correct me if Im wrong!! (please know, SARCASM TOTALLY MEANT)

Man, that is some good word. This is very true. I receive that, thank you for posting. I've been praying for years that God would help me see Him the way He sees Himself. To see myself the way He sees me and to see others the way He sees them. Perspective is so important.

Re: Why are Pentecostals so hateful??

I'll tell you why some are hateful- it's because they are MISERABLE. They are tired of going to church, tired of singing in the choir, tired of teaching SS, tired of being at the church building 4 and 5 nights a week, and on Sunday. They have no time for their family, no time to relax and recharge. They are tired of all the bickering that goes on in the Ladies Meetings, the choir practices, etc. NOTHING just 'comes easy' anymore- everybody thinks their opinion matters in EVERYTHING.

They are too busy bein 'busy'. Just MY two cents' worth...
