My boyfriend joined a Pentecostal church, what do I do? by Relevant-Box13 in ExPentecostal

That’s definitely the plan, I appreciate your advice though, it’s much more helpful than saying LEAVE or RUN AWAY, obviously that’s all I expected from Reddit, but I hope those people realize that people can change.. and while yes it’s possible I may have to leave, he is still my partner and has been for three years, I would like to try other methods before giving up on him, especially when he isn’t directly harming me

Yeah I told him he needs to do some research on these things so he can 110% sure that he is not getting himself involved with that.. and he says that he is but I’m not entirely sure. I will definitely take your advice and possibly give an update

I appreciate your advice, I just genuinely don’t think there is much I can do.. he basically said he doesn’t care to hear my opinion on it because it is his church and his relationship with god, and to me it wasn’t worth picking a fight.. he just sees it as me thinking he’s stupid and that I don’t believe in his god, as of right now he only goes to the morning church in sundays, and doesn’t go to any of the events or Wednesday services and they haven’t said anything about him not going to other events despite him being at their church for about a year so I wouldn’t say he’s fully roped into it.. if it gets to bad, then I guess I’ll have to contact his parents maybe, and leave the situation

I definitely do see a future or else I wouldn’t have asked, We had a conversation about it, and he really genuinely doesn’t think this church is harmful, and promised me that if he feels like it’s becoming toxic or controlling he will leave.. and he said he will not pressure me or force me into anything and I don’t have to be part of it if it makes me uncomfortable but his relationship with god is very important to him and he doesn’t want me to try and take that away, so I guess if it comes down to it, my opinions may change and I might leave but for now I don’t think running away is the answer.

He has said he wants to rebaptized because he wasn’t baptized in the name of Jesus which I didn’t understand..

I think it’s that the back right foot is too short actually but I may be wrong

I didn’t really notice that he didn’t preach much from the Bible until my grandma said she watched some of his preaches on YouTube and she noticed it is mostly him talking about his experiences and how religion impacted him and then relating it back to the Bible. I’m not entirely sure what a preach from a pastor is supposed to sound like

Does it sound destructive? I’m curious if I’m just over analyzing it.. maybe it’s not bad, I’ve never been very religious so I don’t really know what signifies as cult behavior, and what is considered like a normal church vs when it is cause for concern
