Just my understanding. No one but a minster and can accepted or join. Congregants cannot "join the church" is my understanding. I have also seen many differences in standards or teachings from assembly to assembly. Many do not agree with one another. The main standard appears to be only in...
Pure monotheism, absolutely. But it is from a literal reading of God's Word. It starts in Genesis where it says "In the beginning God". It does not say a God, or one of the Gods. It does't even say Father. It says God.
God's chosen people of what Christians refer to as the Old Testament, or...
Anyone can certainly visit my blog and peruse the many posts there. However it nice to simply be able to ask and get an honest basic answer in a forum like this. This also gives me another outlet to talk to people.
I have attended the services of some so-called UPCI churches in the past. It should be noted however that the United Pentecostal Church International is really a ministerial organization, and not a church denomination. Typically when someone says they are UPCI, what they are really says is that...
The book of Lamentations does not play a great role. Although 1 Timothy 3:16 says; "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness".
Fasting is practiced by the individual on a voluntary basis. One...
Sorry, I thought we were having a serious conversation. It says in plain english that the Word was God and the Word was made flesh. It does not say that the Word is another God, nor does it say that the Word was created.
That is a philosophy and mindset that could be true, if we did not have many scriptural
proofs of who Jesus was and is.
John 1:1 says that: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God".
Then in John 1:14 it says; "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt...
No, Jesus always acts as God. "The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the father do" - John 5:19. Jesus said: I and my Father are one - John 10:30.
Perhaps you asked the wrong question. I would hope that all Christians would treat any LGBT person with love. Perhaps what you meant to ask what is our view on the LGBT lifestyle? To that we would have to agree basically with what was written on your linked website. In my opinion any true...
Interesting question. I think that we all should be willing to change when we get more revelation, or more truth. I don't think anyone, of any denomination can claim that they know it all.
However, Jesus never changes, therefore His Word never changes. God says "I change not" - Malachi 3:6...
Like any other person in the world. Although an organization does not treat people in any particular way, its people who do. So as an individual I cannot speak for another.
Simply put Apostolic Pentecostals believe and preach the same doctrine as taught by the Apostles (hence Apostolic), and practice and believe as the early Church did, as found it the book of Acts.
The Church began on the day of Pentecost and will not end or change until Jesus returns for His Church.
I think typically in is only Apostolic Pentecostals for most part that refer to themselves as Oneness, or One God Christians. The term as to that mindset is an accurate one.
Those known as Apostolic Pentecostal, Oneness, Jesus Name do not believe in a Trinity or Triune God. They believe in One God as the Bible proclaims.
They are sometimes referred to as Jesus only, which they are fine with. They are also sometimes accused of denying the Father, or the Holy Spirit...
