Charismatics-Pentecostals,Prophecies,Tongues and Healings
Jamanda posted a topic in Dominionists, Pentecostals, and Charismatics
So, I introduced myself back on Yuku saying I got into the whole fundy watching after I met some Charismatic Catholics. The group I know are called the Disciples of Jesus Covenant Community. disciplesofjesus.org/ From my understanding they are in communion with the mainstream Catholic Church, but incorporate some elements normally associated with Protestant Pentecostal churches. The group I was most familiar with were the Youth Mission Team. ymt.com.au/main.html These teams of 3males and 3 females would volunteer to preach Catholicism in High Schools (usually the Catholic ones) trying to teach the kids that it was cool to be a Catholic. They would then invite them to a youth group held at our church. Once I got to know them better I found out about the Charismatic practices. They would get up early and pray for 2 hours, speaking in tongues and prophesying over one another. If course, team members could not date for the duration of their service. They were all virgins who were waiting for marriage, several were not kissing or holding hands till marriage. At Bible Study nights alternate interpretations of scripture were not allowed as they were 'of the devil'. Recently this has all come back to me as my mum has remarried, and her husband's appartment they are renting to a couple from Dayspring Church. dayspring.com.au/ This group are associated with the Bethel Church of Redding CA ibethel.org/ and I recently read THIS endtimespropheticwords.wordpress.com/2010/01/21/bill-johnsons-bethel-churchs-healing-rooms-ministry-raises-questions/ So my question is ... snark worthy? Edited because when I type fast I spell bad -
Hey FJers, I apologize in advance if this is off topic and will gladly move it to the chatter board if necessary. Does anyone know anything about Assembly of God Chruches? My cousin just started dating a guy who goes to one and, maybe I'm a bit paranoid and sensitive, but I don't want her to get sucked into any fundie stuff! Thanks in advance!!
