Comment on Pentecostal Alternative by James Cencebaugh

Chris, I am also an A/G pastor, and just came across your blog. I appreciate your honest and thought-provoking insights. It is unfortunate that some misunderstand where you’re coming from (however, let me also say that I appreciate John’s passion for the pentecostal experience. It simply appears that their was a misunderstanding…).

What you are stating is precisely what Dr. George O. Wood speaks to in His book Living in the Spirit. He talks about Initial evidence and Enduring evidence, which if I understand correctly, is exactly what you are addressing. In fact, our Fellowship at the last General Council in Orlando, adopted a Fourth Reason for Being… “Demonstrate God’s Love through Compassion.”

May we all continue to follow the leading of the Spirit in everyday life, actually living out this life in the Spirit, demonstrating Christ’s love and compassion toward the lost! Blessings bro!

I have to say when i was younger and was a back sliden christian i tried to find my way back to Christ my way (which by the way never works) and I met you Chris you were a christian example then and I see that you are now. so please let me say without offense i personally do not believe in speaking in tounges but with saying that i will also mention that God uses all denominations to do a mighty works. The Lord tells us to love and to not judge yes we have different doctrines but we have the same focus which is Christ and him crucifed for our sins. we will all face persecution in our faith but if our focus is true then our denomination doesn’t matter.

dude, seriously. Oh, “I’m not denouncing my roots, I’m announcing the kingdom?” that is the most selfish comment anyone could ever make. I’m not one to point fingers, but from this blog I can tell this is a major pride issue…and I am annoyed with “spiritual” comments like this. I am AG, grew up Baptist. If you don’t want to be Pentecostal, then don’t. If you do, then do it with all of your heart. But don’t take away from me or any ready what it means to be Pentecostal. Now, maybe you are just being honest when writing this, and I would challenge you to really think about what you publish online. I found your site off the AG website for church planting. If I am misunderstanding you, I apologize, but I think I get the point since you state, “I might get some criticism.”

I had not heard of this book, but I am in no way surprised by its conclusions about church. It does seem like the momentum is beginning to change toward smaller house churches (or even no church) and away from WalMart Churches.

And, thanks for letting me know about the book!
