Pentecostal Charismatic Christians have lower morale and self-knowledge, but greater self-esteem and belief in their own excellence than other believers!
Matt. 7. 21 "Not everyone who says 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but those who do my Father's will. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and we have not driven out demons in Your name, and done many wonderful works?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'You have never known me. Depart from me, you who are doing lawlessness. " 24 "Therefore everyone who hears these words, and doeth them, compared to a wise man who built his house upon a rock. 25 The rain came, the flood and the winds blew and beat, but it did not fall, for it was built on a rock. 26 But anyone who hears my words and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came, the flood and the winds blew and beat against that house until it collapsed - and the fall was heavy. "
In today's Pentecostal Charismatic movement so are all kinds of people were brought forward. From the most wholehearted and good Christians, to directly probe and false prophets. The reason for this is no doubt that the Bible teaching followed by church discipline has been replaced by experience Christianity. This is where the Pentecostal Charismatic great strength and weakness is that it is the experience itself that is in the center, not Christ and God's word. Here an illustration with Todd Bentley is a very well known within its preaching the Pentecostal Charismatic movement who was married with several children. But that was cheating with his babysitter under the influence of drugs and alcohol as it should be obvious that he is dependent. He is now remarried with his nanny and still works within its the Pentecostal Charismatic branch of Christianity. Jesus said that those who do iniquity, he will not recognize! Here he is with his 2 woman who is not his wife Jessa Hasbrook Bentley that he is living in fornication with for what Jesus and the apostle Paul taught and learn! But we find many such preachers here in Norway who are divorced and re-married as believers January Hanvold, Jan Aage Torp, Albert Ånensen, Ivar Helmersen, Asbjørn Skjortnes and many more.
Pentecostalism began as a protest movement against the established Christianity that emphasized the formal theology and sacraments!
Matt. 22. 29 But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
Are Pentecostals and charismatics worse than other believers? Yes and no!
There was a statistic I read a few years back where it was all within its Faith Movement which topped the statistics with regard to divorce and remarriage throughout the United States. Then within its sphere of society. It tells me that then have a total failure of the new life with Jesus. God's word speaks of believers who are divorced shall either settle or live single.
1 Cor. 7. 10 The married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, that a wife should not separate herself from her husband; 11 but she is separated from him when she vedbli being unmarried or reconciled with her husband - and that a man to separate himself from his wife.
Jesus went on even longer then the even married a divorced committed adultery and then living in sin!
Luke 16 18 Whosoever putteth away his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
In Norway it is at least as extreme as in the United States with regard to divorce and remarriage. But in the Roman Catholic Church and all other Churches and congregations is probably at least as extreme and "sinful", but more subtle and hide!
Within its the Roman Catholic church that has a celibate promise that God's word says is demonic:
1 Timothy 4 1. Now the Spirit clear words that in the latter times some will fall away from the faith, as they hold themselves to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils 3 b as forbidding to marry.
The Roman Catholic church is demonic people who refuse to get married!
Pedophilia scandals that have hit the Catholic Church has recently followed the Catholic Church in 1700 years throughout its history when God has said in his own words, that everyone should get married and not burning with desire in such 1. Cor. 7.
Pentecostals, Charismatics are as opposite as they live and act like the world, many times worse! Than create their "own" theology of faith in a triadegud to torment and harass anyone who does not believe and think like them. But while FLORES sin in all churches!
All churches are sadly backsliding to a greater or lesser extent in life and learn!
I wrote an article a few years ago that hit the nail on the head when I expounded that really is all congregations, churches and denominations for sects to work when no one lives up to the Apostolic standard in life or learn! Here are some excerpts from the article:
Various Christian sects, who are they?
What is a cult and who are they? Various Christian sects, who are they? For me, a sect that emphasizes the full and complete truth. But shorten it and add something to yourself. The word cult comes from the Latin "sectus" meaning shared. The related word pie means "part of the whole." In different NT versions translated the Greek word "hairesis" with "sect" or "party". "Hairesis" means a group that has a penchant for a particular section / sector / selection of the truth. However, a sector may also be a group that perverts truth. This was exactly what Jesus warned against making. Biblical Revelation 22 18 I say to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book; Here are some really strict word, yea a message that particularly concerns our time where one would think that they had the best assumptions to follow God's word. The plagues that one here will get can not be anything but the second death - the lake of fire or hell. How I see it as serious than it is. 19 and if anyone takes away some of the words of this prophecy, God shall take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are written in this book. Here we encounter the same just rewritten. Now it is to pull something away from God's word in question. If we pull something away to our part in the heaven be taken away. Do not have access to the tree of life and come into the city or the city, the New Jerusalem. This is about to do or is it not? For me this means everything! When we take the first place in it, it is indeed all Christian churches a cult! I have yet to experience a single Christian community or church based on God's word. It's just part of God's word, and they always add something. Therefore, we consider that all Christian churches, denominations and movements are a Christian sect! David did see something in the spirit and on the basis of it so his son Solomon built the temple. How have I gained in youth seen anything in his youth that makes me have to classify all Christian churches Christian sects. We read about the glorious churches of the first Christians. As the church in Jerusalem, Antioch and Ephesus. It is such a glorious church, everyone must be our goal. I write about this here: Preaching the whole counsel of God to salvation has been my passion since his youth. And do not add anything to the font or draw anything from too. It falls all churches through, but we believe that God will raise up churches and preachers who truly preach the whole counsel of God to salvation and holds nothing back or adding to. Here is a brief overview of all Christian sects: The Catholic church: Purgatory. The Catholic Church does not teach about hell as a real alternative. To get there, you only if you have horrible light. Otherwise you get the opportunity to review what they call "purgatory" Before this was in the literal sense a fire, but if you had the money you could buy yourself free from it. Now this is also replaced by a kind of abstract "cathartic state". They say little about what it going on there, but it will certainly not be so terribly bad. The doctrine of purgatory is based primarily on two passages in the Bible. One is Matthew 12:32. Here Jesus talks about the unforgivable sin that can not be forgiven either in this world (or "age" in some translations) or the next. From here, they draw the conclusion that it is otherwise possible to be forgiven sin in the world. This I would say is to read too much into this verse. Especially in light of other passages like Matthew 25:10-13 and Luke 13:23-25, which clearly indicates that you have one chance. After that there will be no opportunity. The blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin (1 John 1:7). It is our salvation. If you accept this, then you will be perfectly cleaned. If not, there's nothing that can cleanse you. The second passage used to defend the doctrine of Purgatory is 1 Corinthians 3:15. Here it is that the individual's "spiritual building" should be tried with fire, but even if it does not pass one should even be saved, but "as through fire". This verse tells us how our salvation is not dependent on our performance and our "edifice", but that we have accepted Jesus Christ as our lord and savior. So if our building collapses, it is acidic and will probably sting at the human level, but our salvation does not depend on it. In addition, it may be worth noting that Paul is talking about something that will happen "at the last day" while Catholic teaching says that purgatory occurs right after death. If your right eye tempt thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee! for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. Matt 5:29 Thus, we can conclude that purgatory supporters have little to show for the Word of God. Especially when the rest of the Bible says otherwise. According to the Bible hell is a very real possibility that one repeatedly being warned against. For example, Matt 5:29, Matt 7:13, etc. Saints. The Catholic Church has saints. And they ask them for prayer. But what is a saint? Yes, it is a normal human being after his death has been canonized by the Vatican. An ordinary man, who might have lived a life more in line with Catholic teaching than most others, but that's all. Trying to communicate with the dead is by definition evocation, which the Bible condemns several places in the strongest. I know of no biblical justification for the practice of saint worship. "And I will not call anyone on earth your father, for one is your Father, He who is in heaven." (Matthew 23:9). The word "pope" means "father". Pope is another thing the Catholic Church has that has no roots in the Bible. The Catholic tradition dictates that the Pope is the successor to the disciple Simon Peter. To him, Jesus says that "on this rock I will build my church" (Matthew 16:18). Peter was also a central figure in the establishment of the first church. One of the Pope's titles is "Vicar of Christ". A task that surely was given to the Holy Spirit (See eg. Jn. 14:25-26) Faith or works? This is perhaps the most serious flaw in the Catholic doctrine. The Bible says we are saved by faith (Mark 16:16, John 3:16, Romans 10:9, etc.) The Catholic Church teaches, however, that the works is the way to salvation. You must confess so and so often, you need to be anointed with the recent oil before you die, etc. It makes Catholicism a legalistic religion. You must perform religious acts for salvation. (Or in other words as to avoid purgatory, which really is not that bad anyway.) But it must also be noted that the Bible gives a relationship between faith and works. Belief in God, if it is true, automatically lead to certain actions. Not religious acts, but good works, evangelism etc. The Lutheran Church Is a place between the Catholic Church and independent congregation. They teach the children \ infant is Satan's children through original sin and should and must be baptized to be a child of God. This is of course a lie. They are a popular church as God's word warns when the righteous and the wicked shall not stand in together. They are of course more educated clergy of the Lutheran church one independent congregation that makes them after all is not so foreign to God's word that the vast majority are non-conformist congregations. Various free churches Here I can mention Baptists, free friends (not many friends it's there too), Methodists, mission churches, etc. Maranta All of these have in common is that they are something between Pentecostalism and the Lutheran church. They believe in the unbiblical doctrine of the Trinity, the eternal burning hell where God will harass and torment people forever is an old medieval doctrine really is from ancient Egypt and Greece. They baptize in three titles not in the name of Jesus that the early Christians. All the directions are a Christian sect! Messiah believers This is a variation of the true Christian faith as God's word warns against. We're not going back to the law, the Sabbath and Jewish regulations. But while I have great sympathy for them when the church or the church has failed the Lord at all points so emphatically. They learn just about Deity: Jehovah and Jeshua common spirit, the Holy Spirit, the Bible expresses Yahweh and Yeshua presence. But wrong about the Christian life and faith: Yahweh's Torah, His Sabbath and His feasts are all Biblical and Jeshuatroende people and should not be replaced by man-made days and traditions. This is not true when we in the New Testament and the New Covenant not follow Jewish Holidays and the law. The dead are we from and live our lives for God, and him alone! The Pentecostal \ Charismatic Movement Matt. 23. 2 in Moses' seat sit the scribes and Pharisees. 3 Everything that they say, shall ye observe and do. But what they do, you will not conform to. For they say one and do something else. PB and TB can apparently look very biblical out, as did the Pharisees, and Jesus commended them to learn right about many things. How is it with the PB and TB, it is more of a Christian sect one most people are aware of. They lack substance, content and context of faith and doctrine. One could compare it to a straight pattern, but due to lack of experience and education is the chef unfit and dangerous. It does not help to have a lot of jurisprudence, when it seems counterproductive. We know that it is possible to run 100 m in 10 seconds, but to achieve it as there is a lot of training. That is exactly what is PB and TB big dilemma. They believe in a great God, but to share in what he has, so lacking an understanding, desire and determination to go on the road as it costs to share His blessings, it does to be a Christian sect, and not a true Christian movement. This I could have written a lot about, but there is a lack of the substance, understanding and desire to get in the way of the Lord with their lives and communities. If we include that it is much heresy, especially in TB, we understand that this is also a Christian sect when comparing the movement and the churches of God. They also think further on the false doctrine of the Trinity, the eternal burning hell where God will torment all eternity. Meanwhile, remarriage and loose morals of rock music to the youth especially common. It only reinforces that PB and TB are a Christian sect, at least here in Norway and the Nordic countries. While there is much double standards and manipulating very prevalent coming from a low level of knowledge, both spiritual and secular level. Do some improvement, but there is a bottom line in the Pentecostal \ Charismatic movement that is experience Christianity. As always, and remains a derailment. It is God's word to be a lamp unto our feet and a light to our path. So come experience # 2 but it should always be checked against the word of God. And have a "big" spiritual experiences need not be a sign of a holy life, but the opposite. Moses experienced its largest sub when he disobeyed, by turning off the cliff. And the water flowed out anyway! Jesus ONLY \ spikenard Founded Norwegian Pentecostal orientation including denying the Trinity and baptize his followers in the name of Jesus alone. The movement that was founded by "apostle" Torkild Terkelsen early 1980 counts less than 300 members spread of 5-6 local assemblies as well as a few smaller home groups. Terkelsen that originally came from the Pentecostal movement broke with this having assumed its not trinitarian view of the Godhead. Beyond denying the Trinity worship spikenard so called predestinasjonsdogmet (predestination) and the assertion that the Catholic Church is Babylon the great whore of Revelation. Further claims spikenard that the Protestant churches and organizations are 'harlot daughters. " Nardusbevegelsen who likes to be seen as embarrassing Saints, according to former members strongly influenced by impurity and liberal attitudes toward remarriage, premarital sex and alcohol. However, both the use of tobacco and contemporary Christian music condemned by the cult. In recent years, the movement experienced significant spalling and a number of famous Nardusnavn have either left voluntarily or sect and become ostracized. Brunstad Christian Center (Smith friends) Norwegian founded sect that has received international distribution. The sect whose local churches in several cities were founded by Johan O Smith in 1900. Sect internationally counts approx. 30,000 members have 6,000 members in Norway. Sect characteristics are tongues, loud screaming and a "shouting preaching". Sect growth is primarily due to the fact that members have many children. The movement sees itself as the only true. Sect reviews of other denominations as "skjøgesekter!" Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall International sect with offices in almost all Norwegian cities. Is perhaps the most famous cult in Norway. In Norway counts witnesses about 15,000 members which ca. 10,000 consider themselves to be active. Sect members refuse to participate in civic duties as election and military service. Sect members are celebrating not Christmas or other holidays and they refuse to receive a blood transfusion. Defectors from the sect claims that it is been doing hardcore justice within and that former members and outcasts are treated as if they were hit by the plague. Sect reviews other Christians as "swine class" Jehovah's Witnesses were founded by Charles Taze Russell and the sect has published his own translation of the Bible, called the "New World translation." Sect conduct extensive recruiting efforts throughout the world and are very active in spreading their religious message. Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints. (Mormons) International major sect founded by Joseph Smith jr. in 1830 when he published the Book of Mormon that is similar to the Bible, the sect that has its headquarters in Salt Lake City USA operates an extensive mission work throughout the world. Sect send out thousands of well-dressed young Americans that conveys the message of the angel Mormoni people of the world. Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints is one of the biggest denying Trinity Church community that exists. The movement counts millions of members and believe both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. In Norway counts movement that is easily visible with its young American and suit-clad missionaries more than 4,000 members. Adventists \ Seventh Day Adventist Seventh-day Adventist desperate arguments for retaining part of the Mosaic law as an ordinance for Christians today, you will see just how they wrap themselves up in the most foolish contradiction of the word of truth, that we got by Paul. Even after Paul spent so much effort and so much learning to convince the faithful that we are saved outside the law, then point argues Adventists. Sabbath as claimed by them, is demonstrably diverter out. The same regulations on holidays and food.
Christianity in the whole is like spoiled kids who think they know things better than God the Father himself!
Without knowing you, and be aware of it. Then we see today a Christianity that behave as hidden children, where one will not abide by the word of God in the life and teachings. And the fruits are then!
The solution is always the word of God, where we find the source of everything.
Psalm 119 4 You have commanded your precepts that a man should keep them diligently. 5 O that my ways may be fixed, so I keep your statutes! 6 Then shall I not be ashamed, When I look into all Your commandments. 7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I learn your righteous judgments. Your 8 I will obey, you must not leave me clean! 9 Whereat to the young keep his way pure? By keeping him according to your word.
