ORTHODOXY AND PENTECOSTALISM

Image
Thank God for both great movements. Let’s consider their pros and cons respectively. Just a brief high-level summary of analysis. Our aim is to consolidate on the good. To grow the areas of strength. And note areas for improvement. Trust this provides useful insights. God bless the entire Body of Christ. ORTHODOXY The beauty of the Orthodox Christianity is devotional coordination, doctrinal closeness to foundational truths and deeply-held convictions well-guarded by sound and spiritual principles of humility, piety, simplicity, order, reverence, values, virtues, uprighness and moderation. The pitfall however is loss of spiritual vitality or vibrancy in the seemingly sincere delusion of and preoccupation with rituals and religious complex shy of spiritual fervor and heartfelt engagement in personalized and intimate prayer, worship and fellowship due to over-standardization of devotional routines that may degenerate into rigidity. Good for preserving age-old treasures of traditions but w...

THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION

Man sinned (disobeyed God's command).  This sin (disobedience or transgression of God's law of life) had great consequences. Man fell from Glory, from Divine Nature. Evil and wickedness entered the world.  The knowledge or experience of good and evil. To end this, God will destroy the present world. Sin ultimately resulted in Disease and Death.  Man, as created, was never to be ill or to die. Now, Man's physical body dies and his eternal soul is heading to everlasting damnation.  That's the bad news.  But the good news is that God had a solution.  God came as Man in the person of "Jesus". To pay the ultimate price of death that took the penalty of sin for His Bride, the Elect of God, thus revealing "The Father" in Love, in Grace. "Jesus Christ", God in hu...
