In the southeast I have known Pentecostals to marry Baptists.What do you think would be more desireable for the Pentecostal young person, to marry a Baptust who loves Jesus and lives a godly life who us open to spiritual gifts or to marry a radical WOFer who quotes Hagin left and right like he was in the Bible as some of them do and believes and repeats their controversial teachings

Putting my hardhat on for this thread...

Here's the FAIR version of it:What do you think would be more desirable for the Pentecostal young person, to marry a Baptist who loves Jesus and lives a godly life who is open to the truth...OR...a WOFer who loves Jesus and lives a godly life and is open to the truth.If you had wanted to be fair, you could have said a RADICAL Baptist who believes in unconditional eternal security OR a RADICAL WOFer who believes that God will respond to faith?C'mon, you weren't looking for anything except confirmation of your own biases.I would rather have someone who believed that Jesus does what JESUS said He would do as opposed to someone who thinks miracles no longer happen.

Would you rather your child marry a nominal Baptist who thinks fornication is OK since he/she has been saved....ORA radical WOFer who believes in holiness?

Given the choice between those two, Aaron, I would talk to my daughter about the joys of celibacy.

Re: Dave....

I feel you there, brother. My beautiful wife is the only woman I've ever kissed, and it wasn't because I was trying to pursue a life of separation and holiness.

Re: That is a badly LOADED question....

I was thinking a reasonably godly Baptist versus a WOFer who spouts all kinds of unbiblical stuff that some of the WOFers say-- whose against praying 'thy will be done', even though Jesus taught His disciples to pray it-- who is manipulated by preachers saying if you give money in the offering you get the 100 fold blessing, or whatever, who thinks that God did not make the Egyptians sick, etc. Someone who, if you say you feel nauseous if you are gets on your case for a negative confession.That's the contrast I was talking about. I wasn't thinking of your scenario. My scenario is fair because it's realistic. Both types of people exist, radical WOFers and God-fearing Baptists. Pentecostals and WOFers already have some beliefs in common. It's those extremes that irritate some Pentecostals and that's what I was focusing on.I've melt 'mild' people from WOF backgrounds, but you wouldn't know they were WOF to talk to them

If a radical WOFer is someone I described in my last post, I'd be advising against marrying either, or else trying to disciple the WOFer out of the bad theology.I had a friend who was a WOFer. We stayed up at night several times talking about the Bible and theology, and I'd ask him questions. He seemed to think every sickness was from a demon. I asked him once if a man loses a foot in a factory accident, did he have a spirit of one footedness. After a number of conversations where I poked holes in some things I considered to be Charismania, he seemed to mellow out a bit
