PENTECOSTALISM

We are ex-Pentecostals.  Wait a minute, please don’t click off this page; please give me one minute to explain my statement. We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit - my wife and myself and my two older daughters all speak in tongues. We have not blasphemed the Holy Spirit. I have ministered in Trinitarian and Oneness and Arian Pentecostal church groups. We left the Pentecostal churches not the Holy Spirit. After twenty five years in these churches we finally had to face the fact that these are not Yahweh's true church. While there are many precious people in these churches, many of them have another spirit besides the Holy Spirit.  Paul mentioned this in, 2nd Cor: 11:4. Most of these people were taught to seek the gift of speaking in tongues instead of seeking to be filled with the Spirit of Yahweh.  This has led to horror in these churches as many of the manifestations of spirit that we see in these churches are of Satan and not of Yahweh. The main point of many of their services is to work themselves up into an emotional high and speak in tongues only to go home with their flesh exalted and their spirits still living in corruption instead of allowing the real Holy Spirit to perfect them. I and my family have been slain in the spirit, my own daughter was raised from the dead, several people have received the Holy Spirit in my home, I have been used of Yahweh to heal many people, and I know when it is of Yahweh and when it is not.       You can receive the so-called gift of speaking in tongues in Satanist churches and in Hindu temples and in most pagan religions around the world. Before you get worked up into an emotional frenzy with loud singing and shouting and hand clapping, you better find out what you are opening yourself up to. The real Holy Spirit is gentle and soft as a dove; neither Yahweh nor the Apostles were shouting and dancing themselves into frenzy when they received the Holy Spirit. If you study native religions you will find an amazing similarity between our modern Pentecostal churches and the pagan frenzies these people go through to get the demon in their particular religion. This includes American Indian native religions.       The scriptures say that if we repent and are baptized and we shall receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38        2 Cor. 13:14 “The gift of The Messiah, and the love of Yahweh, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.”       The Scriptures say that when we receive the Holy Spirit we would receive power from on high. Luke: 24:49       THE REAL HOLY SPIRIT OF YAHWEH IS A BEAUTIFUL HEAVENLY BEING THAT WANTS TO BECOME ONE WITH US AND TO INDWELL OUR SPIRITS AND EMPOWER US TO LIVE AS THE MESSIAH LIVED - WITHOUT SIN. WE ARE SAVED BY HIS LIFE (LIVING AS HE DID WITHOUT SIN). Rom. 5:10       We do not mean to offend any one; however, I cannot sit idly by and say nothing concerning these things. How many people speak in tongues and dance and shout at church and yet they still do not have the power to live above sin? I have seen so many pray and cry at the altar with strong tears and the very next day go back to their lust and flirting and jealousy and fighting and cursing and hating and gossip etc, etc. Much of Pentecostalism is deception and my family and I will not be part of it any more.         THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT JUST ANY OLD SPIRIT THAT WANTS TO SPEAK THROUGH US IN A STRANGE LANGUAGE. THE REAL HOLY SPIRIT OF YAHWEH WANTS TO EMPOWER US TO LIVE ABOVE SIN IN THIS PRESENT WORLD, AND TO HAVE ALL THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT- INCLUDING SPEAKING IN TONGUES AND LOVE FOR OUR FELLOW MAN.  IF ALL YOU GOT AT THE ALTAR IS TONGUES, YOU HAVE BEEN CHEATED AND DECEIVED.         Please see our pages on SALVATION and also the GODHEAD on this website.
