And sadly, there are a whole lot of Pentecostal preachers who would also do well to read the Bible, the whole thing, then honestly and rightly divide the Word of truth, allowing scripture to interpret scripture instead of unnaturally forcing parts of scripture to fit around tradition (Catholic or Baptist or Pentecostal, doesn't matter as far as God is concerned because He hasn't given anybody a dispensation to add to or take away from His Word). But it is much more self gratifying to point at those 'others' who try to make the Bible say what it doesn't really say and accuse them of false doctrine and brag about how we have the truth because we do understand some important doctrines like the mighty God in Christ, the authority of the Name of Jesus. But getting some things right doesn't automatically make everything we believe and preach doctrinally correct.
