Bro. Benincasa,
The principle of the thing is common among our Apostolic folks as well. They get a position of authority and it goes to their head and next thing you know they are judging others, and then caught in immoral lifestyles and extravagance just like the Charismatic folks.
The Bible is so explicit in its multiple admonishions to not judge others, or measure ourselves by ourselves. I know it has proven true in my life, the things I judged others for came home to roost in my life or the lives of family members.
This is why I hate some of these threads. It sets us up to be judge and jury and what God has called us to is grace and mercy. Unconditional positive regard without casting stones.
I am with Sherri on this one. The money and popularity got to their heads as it could and has with many of us. Let's pray for Paula and Randy. Pray that they go back to the time that they loved God purely...just because of who he is and not because of what they can gain.
Sincerely, Rhoni
