Re: repeat from christian modalities

I can understand how people new to a church that believes in miracles as normal for the believer would have a lot to adjust to.

This part of what you said is not really the issue with me. I actually do believe that the gifts of the Spirit are for today.  It was about the people and ministers trying to fake it. It was the false teaching. It was how they twisted the Word of God to control people. It was how they extorted money out of people for there own gain.  It was about if we do not tithe we are not even saved and about binding people to tithing which is clearly not in the Bible.  It was not just one group that I left. I tried many different churches trying to find one that was real with a real Biblical message.  I finally left completely and with God's blessing.
