Maybe because they've been abused? It would be easy to get bitter about that. As a matter of fact, maybe it's partly necessary for healing. A person works THROUGH pain. To hear OP's tell it, you have to forgive and forget even before the pain registers. What that does is forces the person into denial, rather than being able to pull it out, look at it and deal with it. Bitterness is very often a code word for "That person didn't do what we wanted them to so we will cast them away from us with false accusations so we don't have to deal with the reality of the situation."

Re: Do you AGREE?

I might say I left "Charismatic" for Oneness Pentecostal. But really I dont mind the term "Charismatic". It basically means you believe in the gifts of the Spirit. Charismatic perhaps is looked at by some as to lenient. Oneness Pentecostal is looked at by many as to strict.

Neither of these two represents where I am coming from in a perfect way. How about "New Covenant Christian"?

Re: Do you AGREE?

I think it's been taken...
I consider myself a creation-centered Christian.
