    Christian Pentecostal History

    Pentecostal history covered by your church organization is not highly accurate even if it is Pentecostal. Most organizations are boasting of history of organizations.

    The socialization of the Church

    The Church has many fellowship ways. The idea of friendship among all Christians is promoted. It also is neglected that it was promoted as denominations being friendly towards one another. The issue is more realistically it has become that it was not promoted that every Christian be friendly...

    Church planting

    Some church planting ideas are very basic. I took classes on this and find that in reality it needs alot of modifications. For example the basic idea you draw people at a recreation hall or something is very 1950's. Our current culture does not have so much for that. The best practicality is...

    Doctrine of priesthood of every saint

    There is a little known doctrine that is vanishing. The priesthood of every saint was that each saint could evangelize their community. Many modern churches have forgot this for more modern programs which involve limited workers with the exception of manual labor. Of course we are not going back...

    The best resolve is to love

    Love is the best we can do. We really like people more than love them. Love is becoming someone to the kingdom of Christ. Character has much to do with Love. Love is kind. Love is pacient. Love is not unseemly or gross. Love has to do with how we treat people. It is not a romance novel. It is...

    THe Gifts of the Spirit

    What Im saying is that the gifts of the Spirit coencide with the Fruits. You cannot say that the gifts are devoid of Love or other fruits. They are God showing His love to us. Tell someone who was healed by God that it had no Love in it and see if they believe you.

    you are called to prophesy

    The Bible says to desire to prophesy; thats calling. It says you all may prophesy; thats qualification. It says do all prophesy? No, many are called and few answer the call. Moses wished all Israel would prophesy; Jesus wishes:bow: you all would prophesy.

    Holy Spirit feelings?

    I never said we dont feel something when the Spirit works His gifts or when He is grieved. I said our feelings are not Him speaking to us. For example: praying about something and then expecting whatever feeling we have to be the Spirit is nothing more than "Christian" wegee board. Who is God...

    Holy Spirit feelings?

    I get this stuff from the Holy Spirit through the gifts, Bob. Why should I trust your feelings over that? You should be careful what you call foolish. The gifts are certified works of the Spirit. That I trust. Theres nothing unreprovable about the feelings suspicion.
