The group was asked to tune in to the crystal matrix frequency (Mother Earth's heartbeat) and to relax. Many went into trance-like states. As people felt they were being filled with the Earth's energy, they became vocal, with sounds rising and falling rhythmically. Some swayed and some fell down on the ground and began writhing. They were then 'brought to silence.'

Arguelles told the audience to concentrate on a cloud floating overhead, just drifting, and then told them to invite the cloud in to fill the empty spirit, the empty soul. He said to invite "PAN" in, accepting him as the leader and guide for their lives. ~ from Article

Change a word here and there and you have Pentecostalism.

The new age has entered unseen into most Christian churches..see how many do the " inner healing" meditation where people walk back into the womb and take Jesus with you and other such new age practices..or they are told to "visualize" things.. the move to full Paganism in many Christian cburches is not that unlikely a thought

I know people that say they are Christian that do Yoga..

Mar 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect

Please Woody, don't start again. Can you understand that Satan would do his best to mimic/deceive those who don't have God's Holy Spirit truly bearing witness of their salvation by any which way, including the demon-possessed likeness of what the ignorant think is real?

I am Pentecostal. I've seen fakery in my lifetime. I've also seen/known the power of God's Holy Spirit. I hope you have also.
I'm not talking pure human emotions, I'm talking about God's presence. Don't confuse the two.

Don't/Can't you see how Satan, in the last days, will deceive the masses via what 'seems' like the real thing to the carnal man.

I am Pentecostal. Somehow I missed those crystals and cloud sessions, I guess.

However, if you have actually witnessed such a thing, I am safe in saying that you weren't at a legitimate "Pentecostal" church. Satan loves it when he can trick people and cause ridicule by associating cults with true belief.

Switch a word here and there and you also have Satanism.

[Corin Stormhands]

Change a word here and there and you have Pentecostalism.

Nope. No snakes. Must have snakes...

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yep.

But, then again, that's all you have to change from worshiping God to worshipping the devil.

[Revelation 911]

Having been in Pentecostal churches, I can testify that a great deal of what passes for "drunk on the Spirit" "slain by the Spirit" etc. is nothing more than a mass of pew jumping babble meant to look like the real thing.

Youre paging me here why?

[xzins]

Sure.

Change everything to "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved."

But then you'd have Christianity, wouldn't you.

I suppose that Paul kicked the Corinthians out of all Christendom when he saw them conducting their understanding of gifts incorrectly? Remember, woodmeister....I don't even attempt to read "long" responses.
