Pentecostalism: The Glorification of the Flesh

[Robert Pate]

View attachment 40099

When I use to go to the Pentecostal church with my mother. After the service was over, I wanted to know if anyone was hurt. I was about 10 years old.

Pate bringing some childhood curiosity to the Pentecostal scene! Exploring the mysteries of the Spirit or just checking for any spiritual casualties? Either way, that's one way to keep things interesting after the service. ️ #PentecostalAdventures #ChildhoodCuriosity

Pentecostalism like Calvinism is phony baloney.

 

[Robert Pate]

Ah, Pate, venturing into the realm of spiritual discernment with the boldness of a Calvinistic critic! As Calvin might muse, "Verily, the Pentecostal symphony, like phony baloney, echoes through the charismatic corridors, a cacophony of tongues and a dance of emotions."
In the Institutes of Religion, Calvin might note, "Beware, for in the frenzy of Glossolalia, let not the authenticity of the Spirit be lost, for truth lies not in the tumultuous utterances but in the clear proclamation of the Word."
As we tread the theological tightrope, let us remember Calvin's cautionary tales against what he perceived as the errors of Pentecostalism. A Calvinistic critique, a touch of humor, and a dash of theological banter – the recipe for a spirited exchange! #CalvinisticCritique #PentecostalPonderings ️

Calvinism like Pentecostalism are the two easiest doctrines to refute. To believe in Calvinism you would have to be spiritually dead.

You never did answer my article "Scriptures that Refute Calvinism" The reason that you didn't answer is because you can't.

 

[Robert Pate]

Ah, Pate, the Calvinistic critic on a mission to scrutinize the Pentecostal symphony! Calvin, in his Institutes of Religion, might offer a cadence of caution: "In the charismatic corridors, a cacophony of tongues and a dance of emotions – let discernment be our guide."

Now, let's waltz through your claim that Calvinism and Pentecostalism are easy to refute. In the cosmic dance of theological banter, Calvin might whisper, "Verily, to refute Calvinism, one must first grasp the depths of predestination – a dance only the spiritually awakened can comprehend."

As we tango through the theological tightrope, Calvin might caution against dismissing the errors of Glossolalia. In his rhythmic prose, he might declare, "Truth lies not in tumultuous utterances but in the clear proclamation of the Word."

Now, about your article "Scriptures that Refute Calvinism" – a theological challenge! Calvin might respond, "To refute predestination, one must dance with the scriptural nuances, guided by the sovereign choreography of divine revelation."

So, Pate, let the theological dance continue, for in the celestial ballroom, each doctrine takes its turn, and discernment is our partner in the cosmic rhythm of theological ponderings. #CalvinisticComedy #PentecostalPonderings

There is NO scripture anywhere in the Bible that says anyone has been predestinated to heaven or to hell. You have been duped by the devil.

So... You don't like Pentecostals do you? Well... I love Pentecostals in their generation and geography. Especially when the generation and geography includes fine evangelists, pastors, and worship leaders. As it was in my church at one time...

 

[rockytopva]

But... There are folk who have had terrible experiences out of their so called Pentecostal church. In which case, if I were brought up in such a movement I would probably hate it as well. In which case I am truly sorry.

That's a fair question... I've been to some churches that people kinda act
like they are freaking out on acid... and they call it the anointing of the Holy Ghost!

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

I love Pentecostals

You like the Jesus only thing then?

 

[rockytopva]

You like the Jesus only thing then?

I have no use for the Jesus only or for those who try to get others to speak in tongues. I believe the Holy Spirit comes upon all of us uniquely where some may speak in tongues but others acquiring gifts uniquely to them. I believe the Jesus only originate from the north and are just as cold as their geography!

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

So the yankees do the Jesus only thing and down south they do the trinity thing?

 

[rockytopva]

So the yankees do the Jesus only thing and down south they do the trinity thing?

In cases. I prefer the offspring of the Wesleyan way... But... In the generation and geography there may be good wherever the Lord would have it. The Jesus Only movement can be destructive and put people on guilt trips for sinning against the Holy Ghost. In which the Holy Ghost may have had some other plan for them.

 

[rockytopva]

A good church emphasizes receiving Christ by faith and whatever gift his Holy Spirit may have for them.

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

I was unaware that the Lord made all the Jesus only people move up north to yankee land, and made all the trinity people to move down south to the confederate states.

When did this all go down? Was it in the news and did it give people the blues?

 

[rockytopva]

Does the Jesus only have Calvinist foundations?

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

Does the Jesus only have Calvinist foundations?

It's been so many years since I've darkened the door of a Jesus only church, I don't remember.

God bless you sir! If you ever run into a "I attended Jesus Only and survived!" T-Shirt I may order one with you!

the kundalini rests not . a spirit of divination is at work.
First and foremost the DOCTRINE any teaches must agree to and not contradict what is already written in the bible .
Secondary , do we really think that WHEN the SPIRIT of GOD cometh upon a man
that it will cause said man to walk around on all fours , barking like a dog ................I TROW NOT .
YES , tongues is still real . HOWEVER that be a heavenly langauge and it wont mimic an animal or etc .
Cessationism be false .
But beware of the realm commonly known as nar and charasmetic , for their DOCTRINE not only dont add up
but they dont even know what slain in the SPIRIT even meant .
And many be under a kundahlini awakening that did soar within many churches during what is known
as the tornoto blessing .
A HINT . when the major false ones brought it in , THAT SHOULD have been a red flag RIGHT THERE . only IT WASNT to many
who sat under them .

.

lets leave the big words like xenophobia in the liberal realm of progressive ideology from whence it came .
Rather correct the error . seems to me like a lot of churches sure are picking up on some very progressive words
Words that they use to pander to emotions cause they lack THE BIBLICAL DOCTRINE to convict .
just a real friendly reminder my dear friend .
Many use big words these days when they are unable to prove the doctrine wrong . BIBLICAL DOCTRINE .
many pander to the emotions of men and their many words and ever growing alaphabet and etc .
But ol barney aint gonna sit under all that . Just a friendly reminder is all i am giving at this time .

.

xenophobia is but a tool , a tool by which they usher in the deadly unity card . rather just correct WITH BIBLICAL doctrine
the errors of those who may be in error . and BEWARE this call for unity that is being made by most all of christendom and the world .
