William Branham relates a vision he had of a [[The Vision of the Pentecostal Kitten|"Pentecostal kitten"]]. When petted the animal against the fur, it would spit and become extremely upset. What is interesting about this vision is that it is a better description of message followers (and ministers in particular), than it is of Pentecostals today. | |||
In the past, some Christians in positions of power have persecuted heretics (or anyone who disagrees with their own favourite doctrine). But persecuting heretics is as spiritual as stoning the good Samaritan. The treatment of the Cathars at the hands of the Catholics, most notably in the massacre in Beziers in 1209 A.D., is a historic example of this persecution. | In the past, some Christians in positions of power have persecuted heretics (or anyone who disagrees with their own favourite doctrine).
