How Pentecostalism mimics Hindu Kundalini

[Christy]

There is an EXACT correlation between:

All Pentecostal/Charismatic churches today

AND

The Serpent Power of the Awakening Kundalini
Sathya Sai gurus
Subud worship manifestations
Qigong healing manifestations
Shakers manifestations
African Kung Bushmen of the Kalahari
Stage Hypnotists

This site also teaches that the Rapture and premillenialism are false.

I attended a AOG church for a year. I agree there are issues within the denomination and I decided it was not for me.

I must say 2/3 of the things on this list never happened at the church I attended, while I was there.

I was raised baptist "revival like meeting" were a good thing at that time.

Someone tried the "holy laughter" thing once, it was immediately stopped by the pastor.

I'm sorry, I didn't look at this section of the website. I have heard on several occasions though that Pentecostalism to varying degrees does mimic Kundalini, and being from a pentecostal church (ex member), I saw a few of these things occuring. I can however look for a more welcome site and replace it with the existing one, or the moderators can replace it with a more acceptable website.

Perhaps the moderators would like to replace the existing URL stated in my original post with the following website to make it more palatable?

Interesting.

I had a friend of my son's mother try to get me to try out Kundalini yoga. Said it was a great powerful release blah blah b;ah....this was after I told her I was a Christian......after she sent an email linking to some "Christian Yoga" that was then linked to new age gobbldy gook, I never heard from her again.

But, this yoga is being filtered into our mainstream churches today.. not just the Pentecostal denominations. I believe in a lot of what they have within this church... I loved my AOG in Yorktown, VA. Pastor Holland taught the Word of God... he's the one that taught on the End Times... held off for 20 years cause he thought he would be send as date setting.

I know during the "Brownville Revival" the church went down there. After the visit.. they started to impliment some of the things they performed at Brownville... that's when he lost half of his flock. I had left prior to this... to another AOG church.

I do believe one can speak in tongues... but they better have a intrepreter there, if not then ignore them. I don't believe the entire congregation speaks at once during praise and worship... cause we are told that we need an intrepreter present if in public. That's the only downfall I saw at my church. I don't believe in praying over someone and the person praying breaks out in speaking in tongues.... again there better be an intrepreter there.

Yoga is NOT Christian.. but like I said many of our mainstream denominations are turning to it as well as praying in the labyrinth method. NOT OF GOD, in my humble opinion.

why is it an indictment on a group that a different group does similar things??

Did you know that the Paganism that Constantine grew up following is almost 100% identical to 3rd Century Christianity??

Did you know that there were dozens of men who were said to be born of virgins, had 12 followers, and were killed unjustly by the government, only to rise again in the centuries before Jesus???

I don't think there is one thing in Christianity, any version, that is exclusive to Christianity... if it is all about ripping on people for thier similarities to false religions, than we are all wrong all the time.

also, that list is INCREDIBLY biased and most of it isn't even true of Pentecostals (or is quite Biblical)

Can you back that up with some facts?

similarities between Jesus and Hindu's Krishna:

as for more.... I'll have to look it up and see if I still have anything left of it in my notes from College... We read a historian's quote describing someone, and when we read it, everyone said "This is Jesus"... only it wasn't, it was someone else...

people claimed to be "Messiahs" and "God-men" and "Son of God" all the time in the ancient world...

Also, I want to say that Rameses' (I think) story is somewhat similar to Christ's other then the cross part (although he died and rose again, too)...

NOTE: none of this means anything bad about Christianity or falsifies one word of the Bible or shows that what Christ did didn't happen... it just means that its been faked/copied/mimmicked through history...

larry_boy_44 take a look at their statement of beliefs on that web site. It speaks volumes.

"We are a multi-faith group. As of 2006-JAN, we consist of one Atheist, Agnostic, Christian, Wiccan and Zen Buddhist. "

Enough said.

see... but the wierd thing is this...

why attack certain groups of Christians? What point does that make?

You'd think a multi-faith group wouldn't attack certain groups or certain faiths, especially not in the way that they are attacking Pentecostalism there...
