About Pentecostals being pacifist - most are not, though I know a number that I believe are. The AOF "conscientious objector" statement in regards to bearing arms allows for this in the UPCI, if the individual is so compelled. I have read some history on this, and believe the number was significant at one time and some were imprisoned in the USA for this. My Father, an Old Order Mennonite, served as a Conscientious Objector in a non military Government hospital during the time of the Korean War.
