    Assembly of God/Church of God

    All I can say is that every church of god that I've been to here in North Carolina, sanctification is where God takes the worldly desires, and wordliness out of us and separates us for him. I never heard 1 COG preacher tell that sanctification was a lifelong process, what you're saying about it...

    Assembly of God/Church of God

    Father Rick, I always thought that was what sanctification was, a work of grace, different from salvation, and necessary for the baptism in the holy ghost. I though that was what the COG always believed, because thats the way it' always been taught around me, and I have been under pastors and...

    Assembly of God/Church of God

    The Church of God is the oldest Pentecostal Denomination in the world, that came out of a holiness revival in the North Carolina Mountains in the late 1800's. They tend to be more conservative, and old-fashioned in doctrine (I know there are many up-beat COG's, but what I'm saying is that there...

    Other's opinions about Pentecostals (Holiness)

    Well... I believe in holiness and I don't define it as the way I dress only. I confine it to the condition of my heart, soul, dress, actions, places I go, things I watch etc. It's not a dress code it's a lifestyle, that's alot deeper than a dress code. It's based on more than just scripture...

    Outward manifestation of HS presence

    Sorry for not posting as soon. I was at school, went to visit someone in the hospital ,and then went to prayer meeting today, so I've been gone since 6:30 this morning. As a response to the "You're not Pentecostal", actually you're not in the Charismatic section, you're in the PENTECOSTAL...

    Outward manifestation of HS presence

    I would just like to put in my experience with being slain in the spirit. Tell me, why is it that after God got a hold of me in this way that, I became spiritually minded, I loved going to church, I loved God with all my heart, a complete change was made, where I used to have to be begged by my...

    Other's opinions about Pentecostals (Holiness)

    I just want to say one thing. Why is it that whenever holiness is brought up, people that don't subscribe to the doctrine get offended and almost criticize people for following it. Almost as to saying they are wrong. I get tired of seeing people who believe in this (including me)...

    Pentecostal trinity

    Newlamb, I just had to sit back and chuckle, at what you put under your reason for editing. I know you didn't do it on purpose, just a mistake, like we all make. You made me laugh today (not in a bad way), I'm just sometimes easily amused, at anything that can be funny, and now is that time.

    Pentecostal trinity

    Just for Clarification--- It's not a holiness Pentecostal Doctrine. It's a Oneness Pentecostal Doctrine, found in the Apostolic Church and United Pentecostal Church. There are Holiness Churches (like the Church of God) that preach the trinity, and believe in the trinity. While most Oneness...

    Is There A Pentecostal Dress Code?

    Upon This Rock, I couldn't agree with your last post more if I said it myself. I believe just like you that holiness was connected to the power of God. People were so hungry back then that as my pastor said, The people would've quit wearing red if they thought it would bring them closer to...

    Is There A Pentecostal Dress Code?

    dsided4him, Sounds like you did have an awful run in with holiness people who are caught up in pride. Keep in mind that not all of those type of people act like that. Sorry that you had such an awful experience. They certainly are not showing the love of Christ that they ought to be.

    Is There A Pentecostal Dress Code?

    Charityagape, I'm trying to stay away from posting on here. But I feel that I must answer you. YES, the Bible says word for word long hair on a man is shame and long hair on a women is her glory. Don't believe me, look it up. 1 Corinthians 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you...

    A question about gambling

    I don't think gambling is right, I believe it is sin. We are called to holiness, that means to be seperated from the world, set apart for God. Why even touch something that has destroyed the lives of so many people. The devil has power, and messing with stuff like that is what the devil...

    Is There A Pentecostal Dress Code?

    After reading your post FR, I just wanted to post how I feel with no hard feelings, but I just want to state my belief on the matters above, so both sides of the issue can be seen, without people getting upset. Pants/Dresses: The way I feel about it is this: In our culture, you go to a...

    Gambling....to do or not to do...that is the question!

    I don't think the gambling is right. No matter what. Even though you only spent a couple of dollars on it, a family might not eat because a father stood up at the gas station a spent all his money scratchin off the scratch offs, and spending alot of money on the lottery tickets, when you win...

    I'm Only Rejected In The House Of God

    That is the most awful thing I've ever heard, I make $110-170 every 2 weeks, and I'm a member of my church, and I joined before I even had a job, I think you need to find a different church, that is awful.

    Protestants for the Pope

    According to Catholics, Pope's are infallible, right up there with Jesus the Bible and God. He is the "Holy Father" and "His Holiness", the only one who deserves that title is God, but the yet to catholics he might as well be. The Pope is not our Savior, and I'm not getting anywhere praying to...

    Is There A Pentecostal Dress Code?

    Yep, it says to be modest, and then it describes what modesty is.... which according to Paul in 1 Timothy and 1 Peter, wearing clothing that doesn't call attention to ourselves, which (according to the Bible) is the wearing of gold, pearls, broided hair and extravagant clothing. It cleary says...
