    Wanting to Find a New Church?

    LOL, sure, you're very pious. I don't see where any of those quotes contradict my concept of the church. As in, a position to fill at church? There presumably is, I haven't been given/seen an opportunity for it yet. I have an interest in door-to-door evangelism and performing in the worship...

    Why do other Christians hate Pentecostals so much?

    Okay, perhaps, but that doesn't distinguish them from other denominations in any way.

    Wanting to Find a New Church?

    This is mostly just reminding me why it's a bad idea to ask people on the Internet for advice. Of course I go to God for spiritual purposes, although my spiritual purposes are somewhat selfish in that I mainly go so I can be sheltered by him, live in his grace, more than to "learn about him."...

    Why do other Christians hate Pentecostals so much?

    I'm not really a Pentecostal in terms of my beliefs, but I do go to a Pentecostal church, and I honestly can't blame the critics of the denomination. To a person who's just been exposed to Pentecostal worship, it usually looks like devilry, and to people who spend a bit more time around it, it...

    Introvert/ Introversion Awareness

    Only thing I have to add (at the moment) is that introversion is not the same as shyness and extroversion is not the same as gregariousness. For a long time I thought I was an introvert, only to realize that I was just a shy extrovert (not a good combination).

    For Those Who Have Lost Their Virginity And Not Married

    To be honest, not really (though I'm a guy, for what that's worth). At the time I was very nervous around women and I mistakenly believed, based on a bunch of crap I read online, that I'd be much more confident if I had sex. When I did end up with a girlfriend, I was also afraid that she'd get...

    Wanting to Find a New Church?

    Eh, I didn't mean to make this post so long, but I can't help myself... No need to read this if you want to reply, but don't have the time. I've started thinking that the pastor might be arrogant because, in addition to having a real alpha male personality, he has some weird habits. He tends to...

    Nearly nineteen - How to deal with not being able to date

    I don't really have any authority to comment, but your father seems... pretty unreasonable. The heart behind it is good, but from what I've seen, the longer people wait, the harder it gets for them to date. I don't know as it matters for girls so much, but for guys, we tend to end up with really...

    Looking for christian friends

    I'm not real experienced with this sort of thing, but like Widlast said, basically every single church has a youth group. If you live anywhere near a college, go looking for campus ministries too. They're meant for college students, but I'm sure they'd take anybody in our age group. Campus...

    Wanting to Find a New Church?

    EDIT: My apologies for the mistake, this should be in "Younger Adults," not "Young Adult." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello, there. I'll try to keep this first post of mine brief; I'm a new member here, and was wanting to post here to...
