Major errors of Pentecostalism ... Chances are that the quality and genuineness varies considerably from stream to stream, from church to church, and from person to person. The present author has frequently heard the expressions, "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater," and, "With every fire comes some wildfire. Don't put out the fire." My intention is not to put out the fire. Rather, it is an attempt at identifying the bathwater so that it can be drained, leaving a clean baby in the tub.
