    Pentecostalism: The Glorification of the Flesh

    Pentecostalism: The Glorification of the Flesh

    I had thought as a teenager we were going to remain in this lifestyle until Gabriel blew his trumpet and we all rose up to see Jesus. I had thought that with much joy by the way and would feel heaven as though it were just inches away. But... We would end up getting pastors with Masters degrees...

    Pentecostalism: The Glorification of the Flesh

    I love Pentecostal Holiness... But... We have the same possibilities of going out of the Spirit and in into the flesh just like anyone else. If anyone wanted to call out Ellen G White as being out of the Spirit into the flesh and a total nut at that I would agree... But... I have also...

    "My son, do you not love God?" "I cannot remember when I did not love him." "Do you believe on his Son, Jesus Christ?" "I have always believed on Christ. My mother taught me that from my earliest recollection." "Do you accept him as your Savior?" "I certainly do, and have always done so."...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    In the course of an hour I was at my uncle's. He was surprised to see me, but gave me a cordial welcome. The first thing he did was to disarm me, and that ended my pistol-toting. I have never had one about my person or home to this good day. And I never will understand just why I had that one. A...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    The spiritual transformation... "Grandfather was kind to me and considerate of me, yet he was strict with me. I worked along with him in the field when the weather was agreeable and when it was inclement I helped him in his hatter's shop, for the Civil War was in progress and he had returned at...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    Here is a story about a man pursuing spirituality wrongfully in the old Southeast. A Methodist Circuit Rider then corrects his paths.

    Pentecostalism: The Glorification of the Flesh

    The more I read into this thread the more thankful I am I came into Christianity in the old Virginian Pentecostal Holiness way. The writings of the Apostle were not to quench the Spirit or forbid tongues. The purpose of the writings were to put order in the service. Wherefore, brethren, covet...

    Bible is finally banned in Utah elementary/middle schools for vulgarity and violence!

    When the new generation of heathen fill the land it is in my hopes that they do the atheist here great harm!

    The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. - Matthew 13:24-25 In making such a declaration almost promises good and bad people in each church that was intended to be good...

    What can I do to change this?

    Hit the reply button early, apologies. A variety of people. I can imagine the people mentioned as all different folks. It is nice to dwell among fellow Christians who are all unique, good people. That you don't worry about.

    Paul ends Romans referring to a variety of people... 1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: 2 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a...

    What can I do to change this?

    I looked over the churches in your city and became worried. I do not feel it in your benefit to join such movements. I believe the congregations of the one church are seven. As the church changes with geography and generation the congregations become very much unique. In chemistry likes blend in...

    What can I do to change this?

    I must encourage any member here that accepting Christ and becoming Christian is very easy... 8 The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart...
