authority cannot compete with the financial and corporate power of the For in stance Jimmy Swaggert recently charged with immorality con tributed million a year to his Assemblies of God denomination Its not surprising that he refused the mandatory twoyear count for repentance and has returned to his role as the raging bull of the religious ring With reference to denominational relation ship Martz notes that it was main ly for tax exemptions that lav vera advised Jim Bakker in I960 to af filiate the ministry with the Assemblies of God It was the tax- exempt status that could have tempted Bakker
