Interpretation (revised)

Now isn't that funny, wicked Robbie Hoskins pretending to be Pentecostal? We all know that he has the Westminster Confession stamped all over his resume. There is not necessarily anything wrong with that. The Westminster Confession of faith has its place in the history books about the Protestant Reformation, especially in Scotland and also England. Tulips have their place in the writings of John Calvin. However, the riches of God are infinite. Tulips are beautiful in their place but I don't see any tulips growing around our house. We all know that if you are a Presbyterian who obsesses on tulips you will develop a closed system that tends to repel unbelievers, a country club mentality, and that is just not what makes Pentecostals tick. We never did give any preference to Presbyterians as compared to Methodists, Baptists, Nazarenes, etc. We are not interested in applying to the Hoskins Country Club because, well, we don't live in Michigan or Iowa anyway, never did. We are quite capable of interpreting the Bible for ourselves with help from those who represent what we believe which would not include the Hoskins Clan. Yes, Robbie never speaks to us but we really don't care. What use are words when you are a compulsive liar? It would just be a huge waste of time to try to communicate with someone who just bounces lies and actually has nothing to say to me. I try to make a point of ignoring their signals because they are not really talking to me.
