Why do people say Apostolic Pentecostals are full of the devil?
just because we speak with new tongues... its book of acts folks. How then have I seen people in my church organization (ALJC) cast out devils? Jesus said "How can devils cast out devils?". Think about it, I just wish people would stop being so judgmental of other religions, Pentecostals as well. I just know what I have is real and from God (the gift of speaking in my own language with God) And no man can give it to you, neither any devil, only Jesus Christ!
The Bible clearly says there are two types of Tongues, and the one is to witness to other languages, and the other is what to pray for when you don't know what to pray for and to magnify God. It also says FORBID NO MAN to speak in tongues.

Check out this scripture Acts 10: 44While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

jesussaves: God bless you my brother, but you see the Bible says that they will only stop after Jesus becomes the Lion and not the lamb, or in the time of Armageddon. Do you want to stay blinded out of pride? Is not Jesus still saving people today?

Mustbe: I agree... those snake handlers are crazy... they take the "they shall take up snakes verse literally, but the snake is the devil and sin (he appeared as a serpent) , it means they will be saved from the devil"

They are for from full of the Devil.
This is the first time I ever heard this.
When God touch's them they speak out..I would think this would be a honor.
Note: I do believe the throwing snakes is of the Devil...I do not know what this reg lion is!!!!

I was invited to a Pentacostal church by a friend once, and was completely freaked out by the parishoners speaking in tongues. They looked and sounded exactly like the residents of the mental institution where my brother resides. Looking at it from the outside, it is a scary thing to view, and makes no sense at all. When I speak to God, I try to use impeccable vocabulary & diction - it is the least that I can do for my Creator.

I'm sorry , but I don't know how in this day and age anyone can take all this talk of casting out devils and speaking in tongues seriously. Unless you suffer from religious mania or some form of hysteria.. My advice to you is to get a life and ditch this superstitious nonsense passing itself off as religion.

I feel this way because you deny the Holy Trinity. Any Christian can speak in tongues, if that is his gift.

prophecy has ceased
faith healers are frauds

will prove with Scriptures that the devil has you deceived in thinking it is still in effect.
or do you want to stay blinded out of pride?

I have never been told or heard that they were full of the devil.
Maybe the people who say this are not people you want to hang out with.
Sounds like they are pretty ignorant.

I don't think of you as full of the devil, just different in your teachings than I. Most people fear what they do not understand and fear leads to hate.
