[the raven]

Those who become ex-pentecostal simply show what is in their hearts. Be it offense, lack of first love, bitterness, etc. The bottom line is they no longer want truth nor the responsibility which comes with it.

Remember: At the judgment, one will give account to God of their own life and its obedience to God's word. Not reasons one could not obey based upon other reasons, however good they may be to the carnal mind.

If you do not want to live for God according to his word...be honest! If it is due to offense...GET OVER IT! "Great peace have they which love thy law and NOTHING shall offend them." Psalm 119:165
