Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

http://blog.cleveland.com/openers/20...ge_palin29.jpg


If Sarah Palin and John McCain win this November, she'd surpass John Ashcroft in terms of being the nation's most famous Pentecostal. She is a member of the Assemblies of God, one of the country's fastest-growing religious groups along with the Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons and Roman Catholics.
When my father, a Coast Guard admiral, got orders to Alaska in 1978, I got to go to Juneau where I was amazed at the huge numbers of religious TV stations available; far more than in, say, Seattle or Portland. The Assemblies is really strong in Alaska and is No. 7 in the country in terms of percentage (1.6 percent) of the state's population it claims. Its web site claims 11,242 adherents which may not sound like much but getting to church at all can be a real feat in a state with weather conditions like Alaska's. The Pacific Northwest is traditionally less churched than other parts of the country but Alaska is quite different: a state first missionized by the Russian Orthodox and now a hospitable place for pentecostal denominations such as the Four Square churches and Assemblies of God.
The emails and press releases are pouring in now from delighted religious and conservative groups: Family Research Council, Traditional Values Coalition, the Susan B. Anthony List, Life Issues Institute, Fidelis and more. Nearly all have noted something that did not come up in her acceptance speech: Now her newborn son, Trig, was diagnoses in the womb as having Downs Syndrome. Although 80 percent of such children are aborted, the Alaska governor kept her child, which has won her undying gratitude from pro-lifers everywhere.
So it's Joe Biden, the liberal Catholic vs Sarah Polin, the "God-fearing, gun-totting former beauty queen" as one account describes her. What a great fall this will be.

Very interesting...thanks Sister Jean.

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Interesting...........a tongue-talkin' Vice President. That would be awesome!

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

The only problem is Obama and the press will try to make her look like a nut. I hope she has good answers ready about how her religoin is private, etc or they will tear her apart.

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

I asked Ashcroft one time how he handled it when he was criticized, he said usually he just didn't respond. For instance, when he was accused of "forcing" his staff to attend devotionals in the mornings, which he didn't they were optional and in fact some did not attend. Though you would miss a treat because his devotionals were very good for the two months when we were in France. He was also criticized for covering the statue in the Justice department that has a bare breast, again he didn't his staff did and not at his direction.

So maybe just ignore it.

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

This is so exciting!!!

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

I´d ignore the question...

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Possibly.

But in a lot Assemblies of God churches, many of their members have never spoken in tongues.

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

A very superb choice! Now I may well vote for the Mccain ticket!

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

In my opinion the best choice...

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Where there is no wood, the fire goeth out! Just don't throw any

wood on the fire they try to start!!

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

This is really great. I am with Dr Dobson. I am very excited about this .

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

She will probably energize the base, which will be good.

And if she brings over some Hillary supporters, that'll be even better.

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

I have moved from voting for McCain begrudgingly, (preventing Obama) to an enthusiastic supporter of this ticket.

I am sending a contribution now!

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

I wish this good lady was Oneness,but I'll pray for her and I believe she would do a good job.
Obama and his crew ain't no choice for me.

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

SH I'm not running office but I can use a contribution.JK

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

The AOG I went to for two years - they all spoke in tongues and in most services there were mulitple gifts of the Spirit in operation. I think we have a winner in the VP :friend

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

yeah kinda hard to start something with no fuel

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

A Aog person is a better choice than a muslim.

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

She's a one-stepper. So she's not saved, so her Christianity doesn't count. It's a big sham, and a shame. Let's pray for her that she'll come our way and see the truth. Plus, she cuts her hair and wears makeup. For shame! :tic

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Her faith does count for something,I'll give her grace BTW I think Mccain made a wise choice.

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Why do you post this when you know it's not the truth?

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Light I love ya,I'll not fuss with you,as you have a right to your views.
But I think a person with some Christian beliefs would be better than a person who upholds Islam.
Enough said you have a right to your views,can we be friends ?

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Yes we can!!! Where have I heard that?:ursofunny

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

And can't we all just get along? :friend

:ursofunny

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

That's a good one!

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Just as the choice of Biden helped seal the fate of the democratic ticket, the choice of Palin helped solidify it on the Republican side.

It was sure genius and I have to think the John McCain picked her for more then political reasons, but because it was the wise choice. The political and "strategic" issues just happen to fall into place. :)

And by the way, I am sure she is "more saved" in God's eyes than many apostolics.

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

AMEN, Bro. Jaxfam6!!

Incidentally, that was found in Prov.26:20.

"Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so

where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth".

Lots of good things in Proverbs. My late father

said he thought it would be good to read Proverbs

through every month. There would surely be some

wisdom in reading through Proverbs 12 times in a year,

WOW!!

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Could be. And hopefully so. But who knows?
I'm just saying it varies from church to church.

And overall, their own denomination-wide statistics show that it's a minority of them that receive the HG baptism, which I think is unfortunate.

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

I'm sorry folks, but the fact that she is Pentecostal will be exploited in a very negative way during this campaign. It could end up being a negative thing for the ticket!

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

and she wears glasses and goes to doctors and wears britches

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Sad and maybe you are right, BUT.....why do we have to accept all this politically correctness junk and keep quiet about being a Christian.

It's time for Christians to stand up!

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

I doubt that very seriously. Anyone or any group openly criticizing her Pentecostal faith and roots will risk losing credibility with 20% of the electorate themselves.

Also, I disagree with those would give her faith more authenticity if she spoke in tongues... but I would expect some here to feel that way...

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Amen and amen, Sis. Renda!

Blessings,

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

I agree!!!!

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Me too!

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

I saw her in a major cable station interview, she is very good. I predict she will look and sound great and the press will look like fools.

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

I have a feeling she will be pulling multiple "Ollie Norths" with the press and make them ALL look like idiots.

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

The governor has be around the block, and she is nobody's fool, she adds life and depth to McCain's ticket. I believe it has shaken the Demos to their core!!! They will not use the lack of experience because she has more executive experience than their number one.

Just look at the media, this has taken the O2 right out of Obama's "bright and shining night."

Re: Republican Vice-Pres. Nominee is Pentecostal
 

Please elaborate.
