Calvary Chapel is not like a Pentecostal Church although they do believe in speaking in tongues. They require that everything be done in descent order and that someone interpret. In all my years attending Calvary I never heard anyone speak in tongues.

does calvary chappel speak in tongue like pentecostal ? thanks.

The first Calvary Chapel was in the Foursquare Gospel denomination, an overtly Pentecostal group. So they have those roots, but from what I have seen, there is not much outward sign of that anymore.

That would confirm that genuine tongues have ceased, and the Calvary Chapels would be further ahead to make this clear. There is hardly any point in saying we believe that tongues are for today when the reality contradicts that. I have attended Calvary Chapels and there is much that is good, and much that needs change.

I can't figure out any reason why Calvary Chapel would have its own forum. There don't appear to be members participating, except for one, and we don't seem to be able to find anything that distinguishes Calvary Chapel from the average non-denominational church in doctrine or worship style.

Except Calvary Chapel believes in tongues; you just don't see it practiced regularly.

They are one of the largest denominations/groups.

We will see how it goes. If there isn't enough activity we will consider closing it up. However, I have seen quite a few members over the years so I am hoping that the forum becomes more active. If you will notice there are other congregational forums that don't have much activity either, but they are still open. I have thought about posting in the non-denominational forum, however, there is such a wide range of beliefs in non-denominational that it's not really what I would consider a home forum.

But are there a lot of CC members here on CF who need to be separated from the other non-denominational churches? As I said, there doesn't seem to be anything in the beliefs of CC that set it apart from most of the others or, for that matter, for generic Protestantism.

But it's just a thought.

I'm not trying to be rude in this comment, but why do you care so much? Why does it bother you that we opened a Calvary Chapel forum?

the official media for speaking in tongues, is after glow's.

many different calvary chapels have a type of after glow service, where gifts of the spirit can be manifested. AGain, in decency and in order.

An afterglow would be a time set aside after the regular service, you probably won't find anything written about it in any book. You would probably only know about it if you were apart of the church and received their bulletin.

That church doesn't appear to be a part of the Calvary Chapel Association.
