I appreciate that this pastor has the guts to speak up. I'm not in total agreement with him, but that's okay. Here's my 2 cents worth anyway. I'm a retired Army officer. Leaders have vision. I can't picture a visionless leader. Secondly, a pastor is not above getting his hands dirty occasionally; it's leading by example. We had a small church pastor who would stand around and do small-talk while most of us were scurrying to try to set up tables and chairs for the monthly breakfast. I had another pastor who would get out and do yardwork on those days when grunt work had to be done. It did not cause him to neglect his pastoral duties, and with him being obese, it certainly didn't hurt him to get out and exercise those muscles. It's not as simple as only being either Biblical or un-Biblical work. As an officer in the desert I could have said, "Heck with you, I'm not filling and transporting sandbags!" However, the chaplain earned scorn by unbelievers by sitting in the tent, "Studying for his lesson." He and the senior officers were the only ones not getting their hands dirty. Thirdly, the pastor is on very shaky ground hinting that charismatics may have gotten a demon by being, "Baptized in the Holy Spirit". Don't lump the average non-dispensationalist with the kooks on TV and RUclips. I was saved during the Jesus Movement, and I was in the charismatic movement for a long time. We were doctrinally sound in the pulpit and Bible college, but went too far with the desire to see and feel God moving. There were precious people amongst us who truly loved Christ. You shove them off. They would say to look at Acts where there seems to be evidence of a second "filling" of the Holy Spirit. I see it, and you see it too. Whether it's for now or not isn't a core doctrine. I get weary of seeing the Church bludgeon people who believe differently from them on a non-core belief. I've been around the block quite a bit with all the churches I have belonged to, of different flavors, and find that Christians that have only been in the company of their denomination or core circle are the most clueless about why anybody would believe differently than them. Have some charity if it is not a core doctrinal issue.
