Palin`s faith: Subject of discussion!

New York, Oct 25: Sarah Palin`s faith has come under close scrutiny after two videos, taken in her former church, surfaced on YouTube became an immediate hit.
The first video showed a visiting preacher from Kenya praying fervently over Palin in a gravelly voice and asking God to favor her campaign for governor and protect her from "every form of witchcraft."

The second video showed Palin at an event in June praising the African preacher`s prayer as "awesome" and "very, very powerful."

In an interview this week with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Palin, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, was asked to "clear up exactly what you believe in" about her religious faith, including her involvement with Pentecostalism.

Palin, the New York Times said, responded by speaking generally, but extensively, about how she counts on God for strength, guidance and wisdom. "My faith has always been pretty personal," she said .

But she did not talk more specifically about her church affiliation or her beliefs.

Since Palin left the Wasilla Assembly of God church six years ago, the paper said, she has not joined another church.

What is known, however, is that Palin has had long associations with religious leaders who practice a particularly assertive and urgent brand of Pentecostalism known as "spiritual warfare," the daily added.
