In this episode, we take on the common Pentecostal claim: “But I felt something.” From goosebumps to shouts of “fire shut up in my bones,” many defend experiences as proof of the Holy Spirit. But Scripture shows us that emotions, while real, are not the foundation of our faith. We’ll expose how Pentecostals misuse Jeremiah’s words, how “electricity in your body” mirrors New Age practices, and why chasing hype leads to doubt and counterfeit spirituality. Most importantly, we’ll encourage you with this biblical truth: the Holy Spirit doesn’t point us to our feelings, He points us to Christ. And He always produces good, beneficial and lasting fruit in believers.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. - Galatians 5:25 ESV
