To say that it is easy to become one and easy to manipulate others while having that position is truly unfair. The work, the dedication, and the denial it takes to become one is truly impressive and something I could only dream of achieving. In order to preach a sermon in the manner that a Pentecostal does takes eloquence, faith, and patience that only God can grant.
Unless you have personal experiences with a Pentecostal Christian doing such a thing, please, do not make claims. Making such theoretical aims can produce false and unnecessary claims that only hurt yourself in the end.
However, if you have experienced such a thing, then that person was never truly a Christian.
Because only people who truly agree with you are truly Christians? Because only you have true insight into what is a true christian. Do you realize how much arrogance is needed to discount everyone's opinions and experience and say, "nope you weren't as christian as I am"?
