As I'm sure everyone of you know, Pentecostalism (or, as it's more commonly referred to as Charismatic Christianity) is the world's fasting growing movement within Christianity.
In saying this, however, why can't we all just get along? I know different movements, whether self-identifying as Pentecostal, or Charismatic, or perhaps non-denominational, etcetera, have different teachings. I know some doctrinal differences cannot be overlooked, but I personally there are some things that can be. Personally, I believe all the "nit-picking" as a I call it is completely unnecessary and it's of the Devil. It's his job to separate us, and he's doing his job extremely well.
I know there are Trinitarian and Oneness branches within Pentecostalism, both with devout adherents and large churches. And, yes, I'm saying here and now I'm not Trinitarian, but I'm not speaking against any Trinitarian belief, whether or not I agree. The church I attend is not Trinitarian, either, but we have fellowshipped with other churches that are.
In conclusion, why can't we agree to disagree? In all honesty, I see it as this unnecessary division that we don't need.
