PENTECOSTALISM
You’ve found this page because you’re interested in this Christian subject we call “Pentecostalism.”
I became interested in this topic since 1999. I titled this book “PENTECOSTALISM, ITS THEOLOGY & THE CHARISMATIC CHAOS REVISITED: Reexamining the Scriptural Works of the Holy Spirit on Miracles, Speaking in Tongues, and Church Worship of Extreme Pentecostalism.” Before giving my readers the introduction portion of this material, I wrote:
WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK?
I HAD A casual conversation with someone way back in 1999 who told me that conservative Christianity is no longer working. He recommended Charismaticism and Pentecostalism to grow a church. In the course of my research, this book was born but unpublished until 2017. This material slept in my computer for around 18 years as I didn’t want it published before to avoid offending my friends preaching extreme Pentecostalism and the charismatized Jesus Christ.
I am recommending this book to real truth-seekers who don’t have herd mentality as the majority swallowing hook, line, and sinker all things their leaders taught them.
Out of persistent meditation on relevant Scriptures, I became 100% convinced that this highly successful Pentecostalized Christianity was somehow integrating its basic creed with extra-biblical teachings. For instance, Christ said, “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.'” (Matt. 7:22-23) We don’t need a four-year theology to process this truth. The extreme Pentecostals are considered gurus on matters related to prophesying, the casting out of demons, and performing miracles.
I wrote the chapters of this book on different time periods, after which I compiled them into a book format in 2017. Over 20 years since 1999, this declaration of Christ in Matthew 7 continues to prove its truth that it is not the ability to perform signs and wonders that proves genuine Christianity. Rather, it is Christ’s “I knew you,” even without your super Christian gift of casting out demon spirits. Extreme Pentecostalism is just suspicious.
The world event that devastates the foundations of extreme Pentecostalism was COVID-19. Where were they? Have they performed millions of miracles for the millions who have died during the pandemic? No. They were silent. No testimonies on YouTube about their miracles.
I am not against Pentecostalism. I’m against extreme Pentecostalism, where healing is scheduled during a Saturday crusade under the auspices of a corporation such as Miracle Incorporated or Faith Healing in Jesus’s Name enterprise.
I’ve been browsing YouTube about testimonies or experiences of genuine Christ’s miracles carried out by Pentecostal Christians. I believe them. That is why I am careful to only emphasize in this book the case of “extreme” Pentecostalism.

Reclaiming Authentic Christianity: Navigating the Pitfalls of Extreme Pentecostalism
The following is the introduction of this book, “PENTECOSTALISM, ITS THEOLOGY & THE CHARISMATIC CHAOS REVISITED.” I hope it will give you partial information about the content of this material.
Charismaticism, in general, robs us of our freedom to worship Jesus “in spirit and truth.” Facebook is populated with Christian groups posting videos of a Pentecostal and Charismatic worship service that had gone bizarre and otherworldly. The birth of extreme Pentecostalism simply ushers in the fulfillment of the coming Great Apostasy. (See Luke 18:8, 2 Tim. 3:13.) It is just a mouse click away to verify our thesis that extreme Pentecostalism is more interested in “signs and wonders” than in the truth from the Holy Scriptures.
Christianity is about Jesus Christ and His love. In our worship of Him, we see His holiness. We don’t shout at Him, or do a meaningless laugh, or jump or dance to the creepy tune of some metal music for a pagan-like adoration and ceremony. We should keep in mind that before the crucifixion of Christ, He prayed “very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.” (Luke 22:24) Our Lord was always in a solitary place alone with His Father praying; He didn’t jump or do an “Islamic dance.” Thus, we should worship our Lord Jesus in harmony with His holiness and solemn character.
Many Muslims who were converted to real Christianity gave their testimonies on YouTube about their conversion that was made possible through the preaching and spiritual care of one Pentecostal Church. In this material, we used the phrase extreme Pentecostalism to emphasize our belief that not all Pentecostal groups (over 150 denominations) are enslaved to demonic doctrines and weird and creepy practices not observed by Christ, the Apostles, or the early Church.
This book is one of thousands of Pentecostalism books. The Christian lesson we are expounding here is more than “Pentecostalism a guide for the perplexed.” We discuss real peace and spirituality as born-again Christians, who are not afraid of hell because they cannot speak in tongues.

Final Words
Some Christians search for “Pentecostalism a guide for the perplexed” online. This is a common occurrence. Most Pentecostalism books were written to help the confused Pentecostalists by “biblically” justifying the charismatic heresy, such as speaking in tongues outside of Christ’s glory. A friend, for example, told me he spoke with tongues before he knew and believed in Christ. In short, he experienced a miracle of tongues without the involvement of the Holy Spirit. A pastor also shared a scene during a youth conference where most of the participants experienced demon possession after practicing speaking in tongues for days. As we can see on the table of contents listed above, this book covers speaking in tongues, among other relevant topics, in several chapters.
This book is for you if you want to understand the extremes of Pentecostal theology and practices.
