Pastor: GOP may be downplaying Palin's religious beliefs
CNN ^ | 9-8-08 | Randi Kaye

For more than two decades, current Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was a practicing Pentecostal.

Sarah Palin asked church members to pray for $30 billion natural gas pipeline in Alaska.

She belonged to the Wasilla Assembly of God church in her hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. But though she attended the church from her teenage years through to 2002, she hasn't talked much about her religion since joining the Republican ticket.

Palin's former pastor, Tim McGraw, says that like many Pentecostal churches, some members speak in tongues, although he says he's never seen Palin do so. Church member Caroline Spangler told CNN, "When the spirit comes on you, you utter things that nobody else can understand ... only God can understand what is coming out of our mouths."

Some Pentecostals from Assembly of God also believe in "faith healing" and the "end times" -- a violent upheaval that they believe will deliver Jesus Christ's second coming.

I have never engaged in glossolalia, though I have been to churches that did.

Is this supposed to be a big deal?

"end times"

Like in the books of Daniel, Ezekiel Isaiah, Psalms, Matthew, Luke, Mark, and Revelation?

I wonder if the Communist News Network thinks that they are helping Obama by attacking Sarah Palin’s religion?

Note to MSM: Christians pray that that things in their lives go well. Oh the humanity!

My biggest concern is that in some interview she slips up and says “my Muslim faith”, unless of course, the race is getting close and she needs to win the Al Queda vote.

The DNC is downplaying Obama's "Black Liberation Theology" hate filled religious beliefs.

Tens of millions of Americans pray to God every night for guidance, help, and support.
