3.1 Schisms in the Pentecostal Movement

[Kevin]

It seems quite dangerous to me to expect a preacher to come up with a brand new perspective on a Biblical passage. After all, this is a book that’s been studied for thousands of years, so while I believe God has never stopped speaking, the idea of pulling something out of a Bible verse that’s never been seen before sounds very unlikely, and expecting preachers to do so sounds like a pathway to heresies

I believe it is important to be open to new slants on scripture as the reading of scripture is often altered based upon our existing beliefs, cultural world views, and personal identity. However, one must be careful not to be looking for new insight constantly as you may find yourself finding false new truths.
