7 Power Principles...Um, No

Last night I finished reading a new book I purchased called 7 Power Principles I Learned After Seminary by C. Peter Wagner. I felt duped. I figured it was a leadership book with practical ideas I could apply to ministry. I was mistaken. Instead, I found that it was purely Pentecostal theology. I am not "against" any of our Pentecostal friends, but I do have some problems with some of their extreme theological interpretation. So, for the next few blog posts, I will interact with this book and some of the ideas presented, some being very close, if not directly heresy. I will explain more.

To make myself clear though, I know that not all Pentecostals are the same and believe the same (as the book even points out). So before we begin, know that not ALL Pentecostals adhere to the ideas in the book, just like not every Baptist believes the same thing. I am sure that some of the views expressed are extreme and I will deal with those. So, stay tuned and be ready to interact!
