Signs indicate God's power. The gospel should startle. Longfield and his fellow-pastors find it necessary also to condemn the Pentecostal churches for compromise. When Pentecostals associate with functions like the Billy Graham Crusades, they are supporting a watered-down form of the Gospel. A final by-product of the extremist doctrine is a rigid control over church members.
Most Pentecostals teach the importance of divinely- called leadership.
The offices of pastor, evangelist and teacher are seen as the result of divine calling rather than human choosing or training. Thus, such ministries ought to be respected. The Revival Centres, however, emphasise this more strongly yet. They believe this to be the 'liberty' of the Lord. It is not.
