"We have the Holy Spirit unlike those other dead churches"
...quoting innumerable Pentecostals 


Pentecostalism looks and feels good, but is rotten to the core!

Pentecostals view all non-charismatic churches with contempt, calling them "dead churches".
Pentecostals feel they are the spiritual elite, a sort of "Spiritual Aryan supremacy"
Pentecostalism is a religion that roots in emotions not the mind. They say, "You feel religion, you don't think it."
The devil has deceived all Pentecostals into confusing the presence of God in their assemblies for emotional chaos!

Montanus 150 AD

Montanus opposed formalism in the church and boldly intimidated Christians by claiming his followers were more spiritual than those who had only the "dead letter" of the Scriptures. (Earle E. Cairns, Christianity Through the Centuries (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1954), 110- 11.) (Charismatic Chaos, John F. MacArthur, 1991, p. 74)

Charles Wesley

In fact, he [Charles Wesley] regarded Montanists as "real, scriptural Christians" and Montanus himself as "one of the best men then upon the earth." The reason for the early withdrawal of the charismatic gifts was that "dry, formal, orthodox men" had begun to "ridicule" those gifts they did not themselves possess and to "decry them all as either madness or imposture." (Wesley, Journai, III, 496; Wesley, Works, ed. John Emory (New York, 1856), VI, 556.) (The Charismatic Movement, 1975, Michael P. Hamilton, p 80)
