Pentecostal churches, known for their fervent worship and emphasis on spiritual gifts, also hold certain doctrines that some feel sometimes overshadow the core essence of church community and spirituality. One such doctrine that has sparked discussions and debates is the practice of tithing, where members are encouraged to donate a portion of their income to the church.

While tithing has been traditionally viewed as a way of supporting the church’s financial needs and missions, some argue that it can detract from the true spirit of church by placing undue focus on monetary contributions rather than genuine spiritual growth and connection with God. The pressure to meet tithing obligations can create a sense of obligation and guilt among congregants. What do you think about tithe and how it is collected in churches? Do you agree with the notion that non tithers should be publicly exposed?
