But seriously - I can't even claim to be a good Pentecostal person anymore. But that first post in this thread was GREAT!!! Fantastic!! Words that needed to be said long ago!! Thanks for posting it!!!

we have done nothing if we love those that love us..the real love of God loves those that hate us.
Why do people say you are a way off if you say love...be kind...suffer with your brother...

Sis Alvear, you have demonstrated to me more than anyone what it means to be a loving Christian on these forums. I am so tired of trying to prove I am right and that my theology is better than someone else's theology. I just want to love the Lord with all my heart and my neighbor as myself. On these hang all of the Scripture.

[RevDWW]

1Pe 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

1Co 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
1Co 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
1Co 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
1Co 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
1Co 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
1Co 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
1Co 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
1Co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God, except our own bad choices.

I wouldn't support the Tulsa meeting either.

We need to behave the way Scripture teaches Christians should behave and I know that's what the author of the post meant.

Please don't knock it- I've seen so called Christians behave far more out of order than these folks.

I don't for one minute believe they are behaving out of line to scripture .
