this is the 1st time that i’ve googled “pentecostalists for peace” and have found a positive response.too much of pentecosticalism and the charismatic movement seem to be tied into dominionism/reconstructionism and desire for end-times holy war/rapture theology,which are at odds with the history of zionism and of the u.s. imperialism.however, there can be no denying the potency of the pentecosticalist/charismatic movement.if said movement got on the right side of history/currrent events…wow!!!!
please write back with a response/opinions.
peace be on you,

I am always glad to hear that the communities like this, grow well. We have to start peace and justice of ourselves, family and through the community like this we can express to the world.
