• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hello!

I am conducting research for a book about the afterlife. I would like some characters to be Pentecostal. In order to portray Pentecostalism accurately and respectfully, I would like to interview practicing Pentecostals and, hopefully, get an idea of what life is like for you, how you make moral decisions, and what your views are on the afterlife.

Interviews take 1 to 2 hours and are usually conducted over the phone. If you live in the Central Valley of California or the SF Bay area, a face-to-face interview over lunch or coffee is possible. Interviewees would be expected to sign a waiver.

Please, if you have any questions at all, feel free to ask. If you are interested in helping me with my research, please PM me or respond to this post.

Edit: Changed Pentacostal to Pentecostal. See! I'm learning already!

You might improve your credibility by spelling 'Pentacostal' (sic) correctly.;)

I see you posted a similar request in the Baptist forum. What other groups are you looking for?
Mormons, Catholics, Methodists, Calvinists, and non-denominational Evangelicals.

I'm also looking for non-Christians such as Muslims, Jews, Zoroastrians, Witches (British Traditional), and atheists, but I'm pursuing those interviews through other avenues.

Thanks for asking!

What is the title of your first book and publisher?
This will be my first novel. I won't shop around for a publisher until it's been written. My previous writing experience consists of newspaper reporting and editing.

I highly recommend the near death experience of Bob Jones........ I think that he is in the top one percent of Pentecostals for being well informed about the afterlife.
The near death experience of Pastor Bob Jones!
