I've heard some Pentecostals say some pretty wild things about the "one true church."


Tread lightly in your explanation. I'm still lurking here! wink

No, not mainstream ones, usually some fringe groups that aren't part of large church groups. Mainly ones who denominations are as big as a single church. wink

Could you give us an example ... of what's being said, not of who's doin' the saying.

I agree with Bait. I would like some examples. As a Pentecostal myself, I see what you wrote coming across as a very bigoted remark against the Pentecostals as a whole.

In my life experience I can say the same thing you said,concerning members of every other denomination out there. If people didn't think their's was the right path, they wouldn't be following it would they? Because a few in a given denomination make "over zealous" or erroneous defenses of their beliefs does not mean that we can or should make generalizations about the denomination as a whole.

These types of "generalizations" without substance do nothing to correct error and are in fact the reason why there is not ONE TRUE CHURCH at this time. Most "churches" are too busy putting each other down, and trying to prove they are right, and not enough time searching for the universal Truths that will unite us into ONE.

From my personal experience the Pentecostals have done more to unite all the churches in my community, than any other single denomination.
