    Does the bible prohibit a woman from being a "pastor"?

    I believe God calls whom He calls. I believe women can preach, exhort, prophesy, and perform ministerial duties. Now women in the role of a pastor as I have stated before I do not know even though my own pastor is a woman. Women should though as with all people make sure their own houses are in...

    Does the bible prohibit a woman from being a "pastor"?

    I have a woman as a pastor. The church slected her and we have her. She is truly a woman of grace, dignity, and of God. She preaches the gospel of Jesus Christ and is really an exceptional woman. She is saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost filled and fire baptized! I can serve under her but I do not...

    Righteousness

    Salvation is by God's grace through our faith. According to each man's faith will what God does with His graced be measured to Him. We believe that the gospel is life changing and produces righteousness through the blood of Jesus. If your life is not changed unto righteousness by the gospel you...

    John Wesley on the modern gospel

    Our Call will take us into the land, but Holiness will sustain us in the land! Holiness is a command of God it's His essence and likeness!

    Can You Be Righteous

    I hold to these 5 points: 1. Called "Commissioned" (being picked out by God for His use), 2. Dedication (choosing to accept God's call and being devouted to it), 3. Consecration (setting my life and all apart for God's use and use only by Him), 4. Sanctification (God setting me apart for His use...

    Christ-like.

    If any man be in Christ he is a new creature! That is one of the main components of Christ Jesus coming to die for our sins and being resurrected. Man is dead in sin. Sin is there to literally kill mankind on all angles. Yet by the power of the Holy Spirit the believer can walk in freedom and...

    Sinless Perfection?

    Dedication (devoted to) leads to consecration (giving over one's life) which by the Holy Spirit birthes sanctification (set apart for the service of God) which blumes in holiness (seperation unto God and His Likeness)!

    Convert vs. Disciple

    Disciple: One who is "disciplined" and serious about there walk with Christ. They understand that it is by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ that they are saved. They also understand that there lives must be lived as to bring people to the gospel. They must bear the fruit of their...

    Why you cant lose your salvation.

    I believe that if you are truly Christian you will live a sanctified and holy life as mandated by God! Christ Jesus is sanctified and holy, God the Father is sanctified and holy, and the Holy Spirit is sanctified and holy! Holiness and sanctification are as much apart of Christianity as is grace...

    Sinless Perfection?

    Enitre Sanctification is achieved in this life. I do apologize! I had to go back and reread our (UHCA) doctrine and study the scripture.

    Sinless Perfection?

    I believe sanctification works like this: 1. Instantaneous: happens when the believer is saved and receives the Holy Spirit. The beliver is justified and cleansed by the blood of Jesus and reconciled to God. 2. Progressive sanctification: happens throughout the believers life after conversion...

    Is Romans 8 a license to be holy?

    Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men and holiness for without which no man shall see the Lord."

    Regarding the Written Word

    Jesus gave us two great gifts his word and His Spirit, both are to be utilized for an effective Christian life. You can not have the word and not have the Holy Ghost or vice versa. We need both, The letter alone kills because it is holy and pure and can not dwell in unrighteousness but The Holy...

    Exactly I agree.

    Doctrine vs. Social Justice

    Yeah. Amongst Pentecostals we have such a tradition of being bashed and excommunicated by mainline denominations, we have in a since became internalized and fellowship with only those like us. For years the older saints would tell us that people thought you were crazy, mentally unstable, and a...

    Falling from grace

    Episkopos in many ways I like your theology it reminds me of the older saints in my church who are strict Holiness people. I agree living holy and progressing in sanctification are works of grace and essential to salvation. Not sinless perfection and legalistic bondage but freedom of holiness...

    Doctrine vs. Social Justice

    Yeah. Many of Our Leaders within the United Holy Church (Pentecostal-Holiness) mostly the older leaders want to keep that line between what they call the sanctified church and the unholy churches of mainline denominations. That halts a lot of progress many of our churches could be doing with...
