    Small But Ever So Lovely Blessings

    Well, i guess one of the things that comes to mind first.... Like most marriages, when we first got together we did not have alot of money. So i would take my cash in had to the grocery store and pray over it before doing my shopping. I would say the prayer "please Lord, just let it be enough...

    insiders' joke? pokes at baptists

    Well, since i moved over to AG from S Baptist, i have noticed the same thing about the humor..LOL. Mostly the jokes that i have found are about the "once saved, always saved" and baptists being "foot-tappers". I think most of the humor comes from the fact that most pentacostals find these...

    Jesus: Was He Right

    I have asked my pastor the same question about the "what if they never heard" and also one about "the mentally challanged". This was what he told me. He told me that- Every person on earth can see the works and wonders of God around them. They will be judged on their basis of knowledge or...

    Why So Much Confusion About The "rapture"

    Ok, here is my reasoning. If we have the God given authority to cast out demons and make Satan flee in Jesus name....then if all of the Christians are here when the anti-christ takes reign, can we not still have the power to bind and cast him down (which would not line up with the written will...

    Fire Ants, Help

    If they get close to the house, you can shake out baby powder (the kind with talc, not cornstarch) around your windows and such. They will not walk across it. Shekatt: who lives with about 20 mounds in her yard!!!! they just keep moving, uggghh!!!

    Why are you Pentecostal/Charismatic?

    As i child i never went to church much, but i did have a neighbor who invited me to her church once in awhile (Baptist). Later on in life i ended up staying with aunt awhile and she took us all to a pentacostal church. Several years later when me and my husband married he had been raised as a...

    Help me disprove a common objection to prosperity and healing No. 2

    Well, i have not studied the verses in question deeply...so i will give another outlook on the initial myths. I believe that we all reap what we sow. Take someone who drinks all of their life as a sinner, then coverts to Faith. Even though the actual sin of drinking is forgiven, there will be...

    Spirit of God=Holy Spirit?

    Thank you for your response Tal. Me and my husband was up until 2 am this morning discussing the questions that i had posted here...LOL. We pretty much came up with the same conclusions that you had posted in your response. But without either one of us knowing very much about the Spirit, just...

    Spirit of God=Holy Spirit?

    Hello all. I have a few questions. First of all i would like to say that i was raised Baptist, then converted to Assembly so that you see the reasoning in my lack of knowledge about the Holy Spirit in some areas. Now, my questions: #1. In Gen 1:2, when the spirit moved across the waters..was...

    r prayers always answered?

    Yes, i believe that prayers are always answered. Sometimes it takes longer for an answer and sometime the answer is just "no" (i know alot of people will disagree with that one). This is my take on prayer: You are a child of God asking your Father for things (health, finances, healing, etc..)...

    My Dear Father In Law....

    Standing in prayer for you and your family in this time. Remember though, that Jesus went to the cross not only for our salvation-but the stripes that he took was for our healing as well. Claim those stripes against the cancer! Do not let Satan bring your family down during this time of testing...
