Why Pentecostals Are Afraid to Die | The Fear Legalism Creates – EP139

<p>Why does death feel so terrifying for so many people coming out of performance-driven church systems? In this episode, we unpack how works-based theology creates anxiety, uncertainty, and a constant fear of “not doing enough.” We contrast that with the clear message of Scripture: salvation is secured by Christ, not our performance. We also walk through God’s sovereignty in life and death, and how believers can grieve deeply while still holding onto real hope. If you’ve ever feared dying because you weren’t sure you’d “make it,” this conversation will point you back to the confidence found in Jesus alone.<strong> </strong><br /><em>If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. - 1 Corinthians 15:19 ESV</em></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Last Week: </strong></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/bvxdLT0URh8" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Crazy We Called “Church” | Wild Things Pentecostal Preachers Say &amp; Do – EP138</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Playlists:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f9ERikAYlc4GW3U04LgI0uW" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Full Podcast Playlist⁠ - Youtube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f9mstgSEcS7VDrX2J4PHmzl&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Holiness Standards</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-xWOOZI8ygTa2bjHotSzfh&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Church Building</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-wcgovpsEwfpV02tWpwXAZ&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Examining Pentecostalism</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-AZ-6O6CQ3auiF-jddjuQa&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The “MOG” (Man of God)</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f_vExBRUMQRIxqgbFexAMQv&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">All About The Money</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f9EyN7gNkHFxr19loK8MthL&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Abuse In The Pulpit</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f8j9Oqo1ut5FKw65XnV0RFj&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Addressing NAYC Comments</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-ZvNiV12NPd5SbGkXsl2Sp" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FEAR!!!
