Unholy Ghosts

. . . Evil spirits have been let loose upon the world. Still you Pentecostalists draw them to yourselves by playing the same music that the voodoo ritualists listen to, which opens your soul up to receive these unholy spirits.

Jesus never did this. When spirit of Eli (aka God) came upon Jesus, while he was being baptized by John the Baptist (Mark 1:9-10), he did not flip around in the water and act crazy. Neither did Elizabeth (the mother of John the Baptist) when she became filled with the holy spirit (Luke 1:41). When Jesus was baptized, he ascended to the second plane while John the Baptist whas left holding his temporarily lifeless body that was filled by the Holy Spirit.

. . . The Holy Spirit heals you, refreshes you, brings you back to life and makes you whole. This is the essence of being filld with the Holy Spirit – the Spirit of Eli. No preacher can do this for you (Mark 11:22-23).

All the Prophets were filled with a comforting feeling upon receiving the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a comforter (not the Comforter as in John 16:7), it will not put you in a state of discomfort like these Pentecostalists.
