A man went to the Pastor of his church and said, “I won't be attending Church anymore.”<br>Pator said, “May I ask why?”<br>He said, “I see people on their cell phones texting and typing during the service, some are gossiping, some just aren’t living right, some are sleeping, some are staring at me, they are all just hypocrites.”<br>The Pastor was silent. Then he said, “Can I ask you to do something for me before you make your final decision?”<br>He said, “Sure, what's that?”<br>He said, “Take a glass of water and walk around the church two times and don't let any water fall out of the glass.”<br>He said, “Yes I can do that!” He went and got the glass of water and walked around the church two times. He came back and said proudly, “It's done.”<br>The pastor asked him these questions; “Did you see anybody on their phone?; Did you see anybody gossiping?; Was anybody living wrong?; Did you see anyone sleeping?”<br>He said, “I didn't see anything because I was so focused on this glass, so the water wouldn't spill out”<br>He told him, “When you come to church , you should be just that focused on God , so that you don't fall. That’s why Jesus said, ‘Follow Me’, He did not say follow them.”<br><br>Don't let your relationship with God be determined by how others relate with God. Let it be determined by how focused you are with God.<br> AMEN

I grew up apostolic Pentecostal and always heard that the difference between us and charismatic was that charismatic taught how to speak in tongues while we believed it was something that could not be taught

Probably the best Documentary on Pentecostal movement.<br>Thanks and God bless you for bringing clarity to many who have no clue of Pentecostals but speak evil without investigating first.

Wow, a very fair presentation! As a pentecostal pastor I am well used to intellectual slander, but who ever this man is, he has been fair and balanced in his presentation. I would like to hear more of his materials.

This is the most comprehensive and informative presentation on Pentecostalism I have come across - full of historical facts no emotional or irrational presumptions. I salute you Ryan Reeves.

"...seem to have gone the opposite in their makeup use..." That was a sly shot! Love these videos! I feel the need to donate to help the cause.
