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.
Is this vision a better description today of message followers (and ministers in particular), than it is of Pentecostals?  That has certainly been my experience.  And it is relatively easy to test.


If you talk to anyone who has questioned the message or worse, left the message, they will tell you stories of the terrible reaction they have received from message followers.
Find a Pentecostal pastor and ask him a question that goes to the center of his beliefs, such as - "I don't believe that speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of the Holy Spirit.  Why do you think it is?"  And then find a message pastor and ask him a question similar to the following - "Why do you follow William Branham if the municipal bridge vision failed?" 
 
Compare the response and let us know what you find out.
 
If you talk to anyone who has questioned the message or worse, left the message, they will tell you stories of the terrible reaction they have received from message followers. Are the Pentecostals the monster or is it those in the message?
