Here are two very interesting videos by Paul Harrison who, like me, no longer adheres to Pentecostalism. There are very clear distinctions as to what conclusions we came to, but the cause is pretty much the same. The first video refutes the “you were never saved in the first place” diatribe often [...]

Anita Hackley-Lambert uncovers the extraordinary life of such a hero in her book F.H.M. Murray: First Biography of a Forgotten [...]

I’ve recently discovered a preacher new to me, Paul Washer, who preached what many believe is a shocking message about false professions of faith. The thing that baffles me is why people find it to be so shocking. Coming from a pentecostal background, I grew up with that kind of preaching (I should add that [...]

Of course some will declare that I am taking this out of context. But hey, people would say the same to him regarding bible [...]
