  • 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.

Pentacostal Church, when was it founded?

And everyone's roots are in the first Christian churches of the days immediately following Christ's ascension. What is your point?

The usually-accepted time for the founding of Pentecostal churches would be the 19th century.

Well, that's a worthwhile idea. It's been tried several times before in Christian history. Famously tried. But it never works for the simple reason that people, being human, have to call something by a name to keep it separate in thinking and conversation from other entities that are like it.

But it isn't a bad idea, I agree, to minimize our individual use of terms that try to set us apart from other believers.

Actually, it originated in the 1st century ce when Christianity came to Britain, Traditionally by St. Joseph of Arimathea. The link between Canterbury and Rome was weak and superficial at best.

Historically speaking at least.

Actually the Pentecostal Church was first established at the day of pentecost before Peter started the Church in Rome so realistically The Pentecostal Church is the true one church and anyone that denies this will go to hell.


Just in case you think im serious(im not ) I just wanted to say The Bible tells us to come together in the unity of the Faith Not Doctrine, the sooner we realise this the better.One church is not better or worse than the other, Just different and this is why we are all apart of the Body Of Christ, different make up for different people

Read Acts chapter 1 & 2.

The disciples and the first believers waited for the Holy Spirit who came on the day of Pentecost. They were all filled with the Baptism of the Spirit and thus the first 120 believers were Pentecostals.

The Catholic church flourished because Rome was the world power at the time and they conquered many nations and led people to their doctrine by force.

We all believe in Jesus as savior and that should be enough but it never works that way.

Peace.

Fallacy of Equivocation.

I hope and pray you are joking..

The closest thing we have to the Acts church is the Pentacostal Church, therefore we could say that the Pentacostal church was really founded in the Bible. Not as an off shoot of the RCC.
