I was skimming through a few threads here and noticed one comment about Pentecostalism being a "false teaching"
Now, I have no wish to defend this denomination entirely. I was raised pentecostal and I'm all too aware of the kinds of neuroses that upbringing can impart on an individual. A quick viewing of Jesus Camp should convince anyone of the dangers of Pentecostalism.
However, I'm interested to know what doctrines exactly are viewed by other denominations as being false teachings. Growing up, I was given the impression that to be Pentecost meant to abide strictly by the words of the Bible. Catholics were viewed as having strayed from this (since many Catholics in our area weren't very religious and still drank and smoked and...gasp...had dances.)
anyway, that's that
(full disclosure: I am now an atheist)
