Re: A Critical Analysis of the United Pentecostal

Okay, I finally finished going through this document. Most excellent analysis, worthy of a serious study, except for one thing:

The author spent his time taking the UPCI to task in their doctrines and world view, in particular, and Pentecostalism in general. The problem? His analysis is applicable across the board to the entire self professing Christian community.

Change all references to Pentecostalism to 'the church' and all references to the UPCI to 'religious denominations', and it works for me.

One additional note: While not every charge the author makes is applicable to every Christian group,it is comprehensive enough that I can't think of one group that does not fall within at least one of his primary complaints.

It is reminiscent of the charges made by Jesus against the religious leaders of His day, as recorded in Matthew 23.
