they don't. never heard that and ive been a Christian all my life

and this is what happens when church politics take over, organizations are great in some ways and lack in others. the issue most churches have is that they want change and younger pastors but the church eat them up and spit them out and they quit. or there may be lack of ministers "qualified"...

Weeeeellllllll....considering how the Koran is all about earning your salvation through works and violence and JESUS, is more than just a prophet and He is the SON of God. Jesus says we are saved by faith in him and his resurrection. and that he is the only way to receive salvation. I would say...

Ive had much experience throughout the PCG and AOG and some non-denom and have seen it just about every way possible the most important thing is to do it how you see fit. but dare to be different make it fun. church aint all about being somber and "you are dismissed" hug a hand and shake a neck...

so salvation did not apply to those in the old testament? those who practiced the law before Christ had been slain, they were still saved. God showed mercy upon them... Judas I feel was in the same category as that. im not claiming heresy to say that God is willing and just to forgive. and im...

is it the act of praying or the act of "turning away" that saves you? or is it the faith and belief that Christ died and forgives.....? I would agree that there can be no reaction if there is no action, however. I know the sins ive committed and still commit, if not for his GRACE. I know how my...

So, it sounds like you don't have a very firm grasp on GRACE.... not to be rude but I do believe that you are interpreting the bible wrong. the Grace story is not about what WE do wrong, its about not ever being able to obtain salvation outside of Christ. the best part is that grace is what...

ironically enough I was a licensed minister in the Pentecostal Church of God. I find many things I don't agree with now that I believed an was taught growing up. such as a works based faith/salvation, and that speaking in tongues was proof of salvation. both I strongly disagree with. I will say...

For some time, I have not been part of the "Pentecostal" movement due to finding so many ministers and people relying on an emotional driven service. I believe there is room for emotional experiences but am struggling with the movement as a whole.
