Theologians go to great lengths to explain the deeper meaning in the Bible. And yet, a Pentecostal believer raised under pastor Mitchell has a clearer understanding than the wisest non-Pentecostal scholar.
God made His word simple enough so that anyone can understand it. And yet there are veins of truth that a wise man can mine for years and never get it all.
The danger in dissecting the Bible is not cutting it apart. It is the danger that you put it back together again and you miss the point that God was making.
The Spirit of Truth guides anyone who needs it into all truth.
It's greater works, not deeper understanding, that Jesus promised to those who believe.
When you criticize speaking in tongues and Divine healing don't be surprised if you are wrong in your understanding of the rest of the Bible.
Miss truth by a fraction of an inch and you have missed it by a million miles.
"Study to show yourself approved unto God, and workman who needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness" 2Tim. 2:15-16
It seems that the danger of error is moral, not theological.
