Churches<00:00:38.380><c> like</c><00:00:38.600><c> the</c><00:00:38.840><c> Pentecostals</c><00:00:39.619><c> and</c><00:00:39.780><c> the</c><00:00:40.039><c> charismatic</c>

00:12:43.049 --> 00:12:47.059
So<00:12:43.870><c> there's</c><00:12:44.190><c> a</c><00:12:44.409><c> fundamental</c><00:12:44.889><c> difference</c><00:12:45.450><c> in</c><00:12:45.830><c> our</c><00:12:46.149><c> approach</c>

00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:52.559
Faith<00:12:48.460><c> comes</c><00:12:49.059><c> by</c><00:12:49.519><c> hearing</c><00:12:50.179><c> and</c><00:12:50.879><c> hearing</c><00:12:51.500><c> by</c><00:12:51.879><c> the</c><00:12:52.039><c> Word</c><00:12:52.220><c> of</c><00:12:52.360><c> God.</c><00:12:52.559><c> We</c>

00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:00.360
That's<00:12:56.960><c> why</c><00:12:57.159><c> there</c><00:12:57.360><c> were</c><00:12:57.539><c> preachers</c><00:12:58.399><c> if</c><00:12:59.080><c> you</c><00:12:59.340><c> didn't</c><00:12:59.779><c> need</c>

00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:47.320
And<00:13:45.480><c> that's</c><00:13:46.360><c> Calvinism</c>

00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:51.659
Calvinist<00:13:48.519><c> Methodists</c><00:13:49.580><c> have</c><00:13:49.919><c> developed</c><00:13:50.379><c> the</c><00:13:50.720><c> argument</c><00:13:51.220><c> to</c>

00:13:58.899 --> 00:14:02.500
is<00:13:59.139><c> because</c><00:13:59.559><c> they</c><00:13:59.860><c> say</c><00:14:00.179><c> man</c><00:14:00.559><c> is</c><00:14:00.860><c> totally</c><00:14:01.500><c> depraved</c>

And

00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.039
