Chrissy and the Day of the Pentecost [from the Christina Fusco PrayerDiary]
Source – http://christinafusco.com/week-1.html
Chrissy and the Day of the Pentecost March 25, 2010 Probably my most disconcerting concern is the teaching by the Pentecostal Church of the theology that the ‘initial sign of baptism in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the speaking in tongue‘. I have thought about it so thoroughly that I can remember the quotation from Asuzu Street in Los Angeles decades ago. Don’t get me wrong, I have some very influential friends in the Assemblies of God movement, right up to the senior executive management team both here in Tennessee, as well as in California. As a strong advocate of the Southern Baptist Convention, accepting this theology is rather complicated for me. This is further enhanced by Chrissy’s church circle, which are adamant that the Day of the Pentecost events is reoccurring. I remember at biblical seminary when I was studying church statistics, and was provided with the statistic that Pentecostal girls are more likely to have pre-marital sex than their conservative non-charismatic counterparts. I believe this is a result more so of personality, that because charismatic girls are more outgoing, that they are more likely to have sex. I have met many models in my lifetime, especially considering the industry in which I work in. To put it quite simply, none even comes close to having the physical features of Chrissy. Not only are her eyes dazzlingly dark, and her teeth are sparklingly white, but her face structure, her hair, is simply, perfect. The question thus comes eventually: just as Joshua Harris had to confront his girlfriend, Shannon about it, for a girl as pretty as Chrissy, there is definitely some likelihood she has had prior sexual partners. I asked a friend of hers from church recently whether she was a virgin, and he said he didn’t know, but it was likely she was. The question for me however, was relating to if she had prior sexual partners, how we should go about it, since this is often a contention in Christian marriage. I have heard some Church leaders say that it is not required to disclose facts relating to the past, particularly if they are covered by the blood of Jesus, and are irrelevant. I have a different view of this, however. I would like to share everything about myself with my wife, if possible. But for her, it would be entirely up to her. But it would be great if we could share our lives mutually. |
