17 Reasons I Left the Tongues Movement

Charismatic Movement  by 
Alfred H. Pohl

17 Reasons I left the Tongues Movement by Alfred H. Pohl is a testimony in which Alfred lists the main reasons for him leaving the Tongues Movement and it also expands to some extent, as much space has allowed him to. The book contains references to tongues-speaking, Pentecostal and Full Gospel teachings. The book outlines the mainstream points of the movement due to the necessity of it but it is worth noting here that are multiple perspectives and doctrines in Pentecostalism. Leaving the Pentecostal movement has been a life-altering decision of Alfred’s life and upon receiving many queries on why he left; Alfred argued that it is unjust to describe it in a few sentences. The idea of a book was to avoid condensing such a life event, misunderstanding and simply itemizing the reasons without backing them up scripture. This aim is to help and not add to the controversy.
