Does not Pentecostalism have its roots in the 2nd century through a certain Montanus who claimed to be a divinley inspired prophet ?<br><br>Montanus said " I am the Lord God Omnipotent who has descended into a man ".<br><br>The Montanists were exposed by the Council of Constantinople in 381.<br><br>In Germany between 1517 and 1648 a sect began claiming miraculous healings and the gift of tongues and in France in 1650 .<br><br>Then we move on to the 19th century and once again these gifts were claimed by a certain Rev Edward Irving who was in turn excommunicated by the Presbytery of London in 1830.<br><br>The rest they say is history . But I believe these are the roots of modern-day Pentecostalism.<br><br>I see nothing right with it and everything wrong and I have spent much time witnessing to these poor deluded folk concerning their involvement with it . <br><br>I personally know many, many former Pentecostals who now realise that Pentecostalism is indeed of Satan and his demons.<br><br>To witness Pentecostalism at work today simply watch God tv for a couple of hours !<br><br>howard<br><br>Matthew 24:24 kjv<br><br>
