I welcome your comments, even disagreement, except for anything that sounds like bullying or harassment of other commenters. We can criticize wolves in sheep’s the way Jesus criticized them as long as we do it non-anonymously, because we’re following the example of Jesus (you will know them by their fruits), but in general our dialogue needs to be respectful of others and the Lord, seeing as how I’m a Christian and this is a Christian blog.
Thank you!
Bless your heart Rebecca! so true! reminds me of this stmt… good people will sacrifice themselves to benefit others and evil people will sacrifice others to benefit themselves…
Amen. (I’m gonna write this one down…)
Superb!
Love it! I came out of the Oneness Pentecostal movement which is most notably know for their Holiness, otherwise known as being part of the Holiness movement.
We defined Holiness as a dress code – women didn’t wear pants, makup, cut / color their hair, men didn’t wear t-shirts, shorts or facial hair. We propped it up with self pride saying, “This is how the world will know we are the TRUE church.”
We forgot Holiness can only be achieved by having His Holy Spirit and allowing it to direct us. It wasn’t a predefined dress code and ritual someone years ago decided was the only way we could dress or perform.
Thank God for real wisdom and truth. Thank you!
Yes, I’ve heard about the abuses in the Oneness Pentecostal movement. Such a shame, when the claim of pentecostals is to be led by the Spirit that it devolves into such a man-made list. In Acts, the outsiders knew who the Christians were by their love for one another, not by their adherance to a man-made list. What a travesty!
It is a shame Rebecca, my regret is sticking with it for 15 years.
