Abandon: In pentecostalism, it means to leave behind everything, literally everything, like all of the money in your bank account, and do whatever the preacher is asking you to do. For example, "Abandon your sinful ways and pray away the demons in this city! We will be having a prayer and fasting meeting this week on Wednesday, and if you don't come, you care more about Satan's kingdom than God's kingdom!" In everyday language, abandon simply means to leave something behind, usually just one thing, like pentecostalism. However, in this case, a person's dignity is still intact. Persevere: In Pentecostalism, it means to keep putting up with endless hardship nearing (or reaching) nervous breakdown, possibly brought on by Pentecostalism itself. For example, "If we keep persevering in intercession for our city, God is sure to bring revival!" (And so you keep praying and praying and it never happens, to the detriment of other life activities.) In everyday language, persevere means to keep going. For example, you're running a literal marathon (not like the figurative pentecostal "race" ), and you persevere/continue despite the desire to quit. Dance Before the Lord: In Pentecostalism it means to physically sway back and forth in front of the altar of the church in a trancelike state (the sensation is an out of body type experience). One may be in the trancelike state before beginning to dance or may experience the state from the dance itself. Evangelist: In most Christian religions, the work of the evangelist is to bring the unconverted into Christianity. In Pentecostalism, the work of the evangelist is to work up church members into a state of emotional frenzy. Give sacrificially: In Pentecostalism, this means to give the church more money than you can afford to give even if such giving causes you to file bankruptcy. Persecution: Normally means being mistreated for doing what's right. In pentecostalism, it means getting called out for being obnoxious, pushy, and intolerant of non-pentecostals. Judge Not: In Pentecostalism it means to NEVER, EVER question leaders or those enmeshed with the church leaders. It means to never judge the theological correctness of teachings and weird physical manifestations. 1 Like |

"I'm back with the Lord now." Usually given by someone who happened to get "saved" again after a particularly long respite of debauchery. An immediate pass was given by all for their sins. "He has a spirit of Rebellion about him." Meaning, he does not agree with everything coming down from the pulpit. Deliverance Service: A church service during which Pentecostal Christians blame all of their problems, the normal and predictable consequences realized from their own poor choices and behaviors, and any character/personality traits they don't like in themselves or others to some imaginary spirit, i.e. the spirit of infidelity, gluttony, witchcraft (yes, even in Christians!), rebellion, doubt, etc. They then individually and corporately verbalize statements and directives to the imaginary spirit such as: 1. I bind you. 2. I rebuke you. 3. I cast you out. 4. I command you to go. 5. I command you to loose me/my brother or sister. 6. I send you to the abyss. 7. I take authority over you. Puking and screaming are viewed as proof that deliverance has been accomplished. Source 2 Likes |

My own experience : Backslider : A former church member who has left to join another church Holiness : Behaving in a certain way ( outwardly of course ) that depicts a saintly aura such as the clothes you wear, the way you talk, abstaining from certain foods and drink , etc while ignoring true real holiness of the heart. Church : A place to go to every Sunday where you hear only ONE MAN preach their ONLY Truth and after which you pay MONEY ( Tithe ) Heretic : A Bible Scholar who questions the myths and practices of pentecostalism. Add yours please  |

@frosbel, though you are right should we then stop going to church and listening to our pastors. |

Prayer changes things "Prayer chains"and people standing up in church to request prayer for another person in the church too often serve the same purpose....spreading gossip under the guise of disseminating information for the purpose of prayer. One example I heard too many times was, "I'm standing here tonight to request prayer for Sister So-and-So who isn't here. I don't know if you all were aware of this or not, but her husband is running around with another woman, so I just want us to lift her up tonight in prayer". |

Omexonomy: @frosbel, You should listen to God more than Men, Pastors are not the final authority on God's word, God's spirit is . If we do not have this spirit we will never know his mind. The Pastor is not the head of a church , fellowship or congregation ( many have taken the place of Christ and the sign in their churches is Ichabod ) , there is only and there will only ever be one head and he is Jesus Christ. This means that the so called MOG is actually just a fellow brother who has no right whatsoever to shove his idea of truth or church down your throat, he is there to guide and guard the sheep within the limits of the authority he or she has received from God. You are allowed to point out his or her error and if they refuse to listen or look down on you it is a sure sign that they are not only proud but they do not have the spirit of God. Finally , church attendance is a work and we are not saved by works, we are saved by grace. Just make sure the church you go to is not brain washing you away from Christ rather than to him. 2 Likes |

The whole demon teaching in these churches is absolutely ridiculous. If demons were as prevalent and powerful as we were taught they were, humanity would not exist. In contrast to scripture, which states numerous times "fear not" and that "God has not given us a spirit of fear", these teachings are designed to invoke a fear for which there is no remedy. Pentecostal demonology does nothing other than serve as a petri dish for paranoia and madness. 4 Likes |

Even worse it appears that more demons are 'cast' out of God's children than the unbelievers , how can this be ? |

Wife says to her Husband when discussing an important family matter : I will speak to the Pastor - In other words the Pastor is her 'husband' and the words of her own husband are secondary. Pastor please pray for me : Means, I cannot hear from God and not even sure he will answer my prayers, but because the Pastor is more special and has a direct line to Heaven, God will hear him for me. 1 Like |

This generation is in trouble. " The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron." The Spirit makes it clear that as time goes on, some are going to give up on the faith and chase after demonic illusions put forth by professional liars. These liars have lied so well and for so long that they've lost their capacity for truth. (The Message) He who think he stands should take heed. |

^^^ Many in the church have abandoned the faith. They are now followers of men , not Jesus. |
