Pentecostal Christianity is like Baptist Christianity + more craziness. I would say there is a great deal of common narrative there and thus many references to coded messages for those that know.
I can tell this because I love their music and have tuned into the the whole sub-dialog that is going on.[/u] One of their concepts is "Victory". This translates into - for those not in the cult - some form of defeat. It can mean many things, but you can see how it can quickly and easily turn into some very scary mindless control of masses.
This fundy thing is what scares me about her. I wouldn't for a moment put it past these people to negotiate someone in and then see it as God's Will to bump off McCain to get their person in control so they can start exercising Gods Will all over the planet.
they call us crazy?
Victory in Jesus
Words and Music by Eugene. M. Bartlett
I heard an old, old story, How a Saviour came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning, Of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins And won the victory.
O victory in Jesus, My Saviour, forever,
He sought me and bought me With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory, Beneath the cleansing flood.
I heard about His healing, Of His cleansing pow'r revealing,
How He made the lame to walk again And caused the blind to see;
And then I cried "
Dear Jesus, Come and heal my broken spirit,"
And somehow Jesus came and bro't To me the victory.
O victory in Jesus, My Saviour, forever,
He sought me and bought me With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory, Beneath the cleansing flood.
I heard about a
mansion He has built for me in glory,
And I heard about the streets of gold Beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing, And the old, redemption story,
And some sweet day
I'll sing up there The song of victory.
O victory in Jesus, My Saviour, forever,
He sought me and bought me With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory, Beneath the cleansing flood.
Uh, yeah...horribly frightening. Victory is a "code" word for "going to Heaven when I die." Wow. No wonder they're so scared.
