A tale of legalism in a non-Armstrongist Sabbatarian church
I have found another interesting article posted on the website "Delivered" which discusses and critiques the excesses in charismatic and Pentecostal denominations. This one particular article called "Life in a Hebrew Pentecostal Holiness Church". You maybe familiar with it's alternative name "The House of God"---which late great soul singer Marvin Gaye came from. The author of the article has her name withheld and is an African American woman who had her beginnings in studying the historic WCG and CGI literature and eventually ended up with the Hebrew Pentecostals. Those who were in the historic WCG and/or splinters will realize that some of the things in that church sound waaay to all too familiar. Thankfully, the author has found peace of mind from the legalism and authoritarianism produced in The House of God and now attends a Lutheran church with her husband. Blessings to both.
