So many things people believe are not from God's Word, but contrived by pentacostals who have the habit of cherry picking scriptures out of context to make them fit their own experience. When one tells one of these pentacostals that they are incorrect they accuse us of "putting God in a box", which is also not in Scripture.
The manipulation of accusation that we are putting God in a box affords the misguided the luxury of ignoring God and indulging in false miracles and lying wonders.
There is no place in the Word that says to "plead the blood of Christ." The pentecosals get that non-sense from the account of the Jews placing the blood on the door to protect them when the Holy Spirit came though to kill the first born, the only way to be protected was to kill a lamb in sacrificial fashion and spread it's blood on the door posts. God told them to do it and those who obeyed were spared the punishment, it had nothing to do with anyone ever repeating this practice either physically or spiritually.
The Passover was a picture of Christ's blood covering our SIN. We are never commanded to "plead the blood" for protection. No one in the Scriptures is shown to be doing this practice of "pleading the blood."
This practice of pleading the blood is used like a magical wand to be waved whenever someone is in trouble. It is cultic in nature because it presumes that all we have to do is say words and those words have power.
The lust for false miracles causes their proponents to place their trust in the miracle itself rather than in Christ. The devil will do and is doing many false miracles today that deceive weak minded people who don't know the Bible.
God can save anyone who cries out to Him and has been born again. All we have to do is pray.
"Pleading the blood" is a misguided and heretical form of prayer, more paganistic in nature than anything else.
Far too often people focus on the experience without checking it out with the Scriptures. IF something does not match with Scripture then it must be thrown out.
