The Pentecostal view is different - but is it right?
Pentecostals loudly claim a unique, miraculous experience of the Holy Spirit - different from salvation - to empower followers of Christ. And with their experience comes the ubiquitous and controversial speaking in tongues.
If this is valid, if they really have discovered unique supernatural power, they ought to be able to prove it with stats and facts from their 120-year history. If they can, this is a big thing, and everyone should get on board. If they cannot, we can ignore this. Simple as that. To resolve the issue we need objective assessments so that we can compare. Blunt comparisons might offend of course, but it really is so important that we must do it. We need to know. So we compare, expecting "God-sized" results - or nothing.
Four bold comparisons are made in this book:
-- Growth rates. How have denominations fared over the centuries?
-- Church health distinctives - from a National Church Life Survey
-- Praise and worship songs - who creates them?
-- Miracle ministry - who does this?
The results? Each raises eyebrows, to say the least, and the book spells them out in detail.
Of course we need theological foundations. A refreshing approach to the New Testament, together with much overlooked Old Testament and pre-Pentecost passages, bring new and persuasive light.
History can't be ignored. Why did the church wait some two thousand years for this? Startling little-known outpourings add highly credible new evidence.
All that and more. Settle your doubts, be inspired, and share this ground-breaking book with other seekers and those treading different paths.
