Re: How do I leave

Since we dont know your situation it would be hard to address. I have personally seen tremendous things done by the Holy Spirit in my life. Jesus has proven himself very real to me. As to Pentecostalism as a movement it has failed big time.

Its core belief of tongues, prophecy, and gifts of the Spirit backed by a life of holiness to me is Biblical. They have otherwise missed God in various ways. So are you rejecting Pentecostalism or Jesus Christ?

Of course.

My point was merely that many here faced hurting their family and friends when they decided to make different choices in their lives. So, maybe someone here could help him with that aspect of it. The "how do I leave without hurting everyone I love" part.

Re: How do I leave

You say the God of Pentecostalism has failed. Could it be its his people that have failed? After all there are CONDITIONS that go with the promises.
