Beware Self - of Deception!

They could abuse the gifts of the Spirit and have adultery and incest among them and rather than be shamed they boasted of their liberty in Christ. Self-deception is a darkness of which few lights can penetrate.

Is it possible that the Corinthian scenario could fit much of Pentecost today?

Good post - I believe that you have identified a spirit within the leadership of the Pentecostal churches. They look at thier pedigrees and great conferences and decide that they have all these things because they are spiritual, when often it is all built upon man's "wisdom."
