...imperative to "share the Good News." They also tend to share theological beliefs regarding the End Times with fundamentalists and more conservative Evangelicals. But they also believe in a separate baptism of the Holy Spirit that is subsequent to and distinct from conversion by accepting Christ as the savior and son of God. This baptism is the core doctrine that separates Pentecostals from other Evangelicals, and it is seen as manifested by physical evidence such as healing powers, speaking in tongues and even bodily inhabitation. (Some Pentecostals take "being filled with the Holy Spirit" to mean that the spirit...
...Last week, jockeying for the title "savior of the economy" seemed intense, with both the Democratic and Republican candidates flying into Washington and overeager negotiators emerging with a premature victory announcement. But after dramatically suspending his campaign and asking to postpone last Friday's debate in order to deal with the financial crisis, John McCain kept a decidedly low profile in the final days of negotiations.

This January, he bought Countrywide Financial Corp. for $4 billion in stock, adding "largest mortgage provider" to Bank of America's list of bragging rights and saving Countrywide from possible bankruptcy. With that purchase, Lewis became a kind of quasi-savior on Wall Street - the man who helped you stand when you could no longer do it on your own. If everything goes smoothly, the Merrill Lynch & Co. purchase - which some analysts called "too good an opportunity" to pass up - will make Bank of America into the nation's largest brokerage...
