My Rant Letter To Pentecostals / Apostolics

[Jacob's Ladder]

Dear Reader,

I have been concerned about a few situations I have encountered. I figured I would rant here instead of letting this junk consume me. I will address these issues, but in the appointed time. I have encountered too many brainwashed Pentecostals, all programmed to respond in the same manner. This is utterly pathetic!

Please understand that I am a realist, and I made a commitment to abstain from living in fantasyland. People who live in this fantasyland cannot think for themselves, and they have allowed another to dictate their belief. I am weary of reading comments on Facebook from people stating, “I can’t wait to see what God will do at church tonight!” These narrow-minded people have confined God’s power to a building structure. Is it possible that God can only perform within four walls? Why are people brainwashed with this nonsense? Why wait for church service? Is your faith limited to the boundaries of a church building?

Pentecostalism has taken hostage the supernatural acts manifested in the New Testament by Jesus and His apostles on public streets, on seashores in the midst of multitudes of people, and have confined those supernatural acts to church services. Somehow, Pentecostalism has concluded that sinners must come our church services to receive deliverance and/or healing.

The other day I gave my opinion and encountered resistance, but I would not expect anything less from brainwashed individuals. How is verbalizing the obvious a negative action? Perhaps you do not want your fantasyland disrupted with truth? That is it! Do not question the traditions of our inheritance! Just follow the parade of Pentecostalism and shut up! Thank Jesus, rather than taking the stance of a Pharisee, He stood up and healed on the Sabbath day! He stepped out of traditional to minster in the supernatural!

Do you know what else annoyed me? The other day a leader of an undisclosed oneness organization ranted about the Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman case. I wrote my opinion on racism. I wrote that it is more disgusting to encounter racism in the church! I wrote, “How can one claim to love God and hate their brother/sister due to the color of their skin?” Guess what? He deleted my comment! I wish “so-called” men of god would grow a backbone and eliminate racism within churches. Instead, these leaders are too worried about politics! Either, these leaders have some form of racism indwelling their heart, or they are too much of a coward to stand and confront criticism. When you are not periodically opposing criticism as a leader, you are too busy pleasing the crowd! Grow a backbone and submit to the mindset of God!


Respectully,
Jacob's Ladder
FYI: I'm not backslidden for all you judgemental folks. I'm a Christain with a Pentecostal experience, and believe/preach the Acts 2:38 salvation message, accompanied with signs and wonders (gifts of the Spirit).

Respectfully, maybe you need to take a chill pill.

Just because someone posts that they can't wait to see what God will do in a particular service does not mean they do not reach out into the community or expect that the Church is confined to a building.

Perhaps they are just stating that "tonight is service and I am excited!"

IMHO, calling people brainwashed Pentecostals is what is pathetic...

Don't mind Barb. She is also brain washed, with Dawn soap because Palmolive did not work.

I have a couple of facebook friends I removed, cause thats all they talked about was going to church, as soon as they would get home from the morning service, they would be talking about how good the evening service was going to be it did get a little old and yes they were oneness Apostolics..Nothing against the oneness Apostolics, but it is funny to hear them rant on facebook about something that went against the standards and some ultracon calls them out on it. What I cannot figure out is why they keep going to a church where there own kind sends them to hell for a standard issue that apparently the one posting it does not believe..Thats my rant,why go to a church that has these Standards if you do not believe in them, but still go anyway..

I have never dropped, or even thought about dropping someone, because of their frequent "We had GOOD church this morning! Can't wait to see what God has in store for us this evening!!!" posts. What is more likely is that they probably dropped ME because of some of mine! LOL

Note: You CAN choose to receive "Only Important" updates from someone if they are someone who is filling up your timeline. This eliminates 90-98% of random stuff.

Have you ever said, "I can't wait what god will do when I go to the grocery store?" Have you witnessed anyone speak or post that comment? I suppose not! Why? Simple! People only expect god to move in a church building. Brainwashed.........
