    What are you talking about? Are we reading the same manuscript here?

    Pentecostals and Prophets

    What are you saying? How can anyone believe that someone who gets excited about God's promises is decieved by a demon?!

    What is a great book to give a friend?

    The Purpose Driven Life is an excellent choice as well, as Unconventionality mentioned. Props to you, haha!

    Evidence of being saved

    Amen, Sister!:amen: As a growing Christian who was just baptized, I know that the road to Christ really does make you fruitful. I have a better disposition, I swear less, I am concious of my sins and errors and repent daily for them and pray that God will give me the strength to overcome my sins.

    What is a great book to give a friend?

    I suggest "The Sermons of John G. Lake." John G. Lake was a missionary to Africa, and is well known for bringing the Charismatic movement to that continent. Your friend will be able to read the sermons of a man who truly knew God and I am sure that he will grow spiritually from the sermons. I...

    Are we hypocrites if we pray for people we can't stand??

    If you are truly right with God, then you should know that you should pray for your enemies to come to Christ so that you may fellowship together and eliminate the worldly defects that create this dislike you have for your enemy.

    The Ministry Process

    I was wondering how the process of entering the ministry works. I believe God has called me to be a pastor or a youth pastor, and I am unsure of how it works. I know that in my denomination, the UPC accepts candidates who have been training under their pastors. But my pastor went to Bible...

    Pentecostals and Prophets

    Women can't shave? That's foolishness. I don't know where you learned about our doctrine, but that at least is totally wrong. In my opinion, most other denominations do not allow their members to open themselves up to God. The Baptists used to speak in tongues as much as the Pentecostals did...

    Testimony Time

    I'm going to testify about how I came to Christ. You can find this on my profile, but whatever, eh? I had been wanting to go to church for some time and I happened to mention this in front of my friend Sheila. She invited me to her church, and I chickened out for several weeks. Eventually, I...

    Selling in Church

    I agree wholeheartedly that peddling should be kept out of the Sanctuary. It's fine to mention before or after a service that items can be bought, but during the service is unacceptable. We don't see many of our travelling brothers and sisters, but when we do, all they are allowed is a...

    Holy Ghost????

    Anyone who wants to know more about the Holy Ghost should definately pick up Billy Graham's book, "The Holy Spirit." This book is really helpful in identifying exactly what the Holy Ghost is, the sins we can commit against Him, etc. I'm enthralled in it! (I can't help it, I thirst for knowledge...

    Why are pentecostals so.....

    A lot of Pentecostal churches ARE quite judgemental, from what I've seen recently. Mine isn't quite so. They prefer their women to wear skirts, and the women of the church don't seem to WANT to cut their hair, so that's not an issue. As for guys with their hair, they don't seem to care if it's...

    Fasting for the New Year

    My church is doing it's usual ritual of a 3-day fast and prayer time Monday through Wednesday. I'll be fasting along with that, and if the Lord calls me to continue fasting after that, I shall do so with confidence in knowing that you are all there doing the same thing. This will be my first...
