You are either:
a) denying that history has any validity with biblical hermeneutics
or
b) it has much validity, and you aren't sure it supports Classical Pentecostalism.
Which is it?

It's
c) Im asking you questions to test the idea of the historical/scriptural method of interpretation
Now you did say earlier or suggest that that method would make most Pentecostals...assuming they really did such a method...was that correct? Im asking how, you answered "it most certainly does" which does not answer my question.
I'd like some examples of how. BTW I'd say it was the wonderful Calvinists that preserved the death of Servetus, but my question is HOW does that help us to have a correct biblical interpretation of scriptures...or does it?
