I would pray together with your boyfriend over this and write a heartfelt letter to your church praising it first but then explaining how you feel persecuted by it at the same time. Better to have things open and sooner then never and God will let you know if He wants you to remain or not. A local community is supposed to be welcoming not judgemental.
But persecution will happen and it sanctifies us in holiness so try to embrace it and not be overcome by it!

Hello, I just recently joined on here and I wasn't sure where to go. I grew up in a Christian home but did not go to church, when I met my boyfriend he started bringing me to church with him which is Pentecostal. I loved it there for awhile but I've been there for about a year and a half now and I feel as if I'm constantly being judged. I raise my hands I speak in tongues, etc but no matter what I feel like I'm constantly under scrutiny by the leaders. I love Pentecostal trust me I have never felt so alive before, but tonight at church I went to the altar and I felt his presence like never before and some of the leaders made other leaders listen to me as If I fake everything I do and then continued to talk about how some are not right with the Lord. I'm frustrated because I love Jesus but everyone either thinks I'm crazy, I fake it or just plain don't like me. Should I leave my church? I love Pentecostal, I don't fake a thing but it's getting to the point where I'm losing the touch of God because I'm scared to act on the holy spirit because I don't want to be judged anymore. I know the saying goes if you feel judged the need to be at the altar too but the problem is the people I feel are judging me are the ones doing so. I came home from church tonight and cried. I have no idea what to do. I'm not looking for an argument here on what's right and wrong and if you believe in the gifts. I just want advice on what to do
