Pentecostals by eghosaobas: 7:27pm On Jun 16, 2009
there are some things i have observed from the pentecostals doctrine and io would want to analyse some of them,and i would appreciate sincere contributions.
1.which is genuine in baptism,infant baptism or water immersion and would also want to know the differences.
2.some churches dont pierce the ear of their female kids and those that pierce dont wear ear rings including the adult ones,so i want to know if its wrong to wear ear rings or not and scriptures to support its usage or not.
3.In some churches they use on-speaker to disturb others while in a passage in the bible is said that one should not disturbs another with your prayers,so what do you think is causing this?
4.Is it right to drop money on the alter when a sermon is going on? and scripture to support,because the pentecostals are found of doing this alot.
5.why is it that that General Overseers dont use thesame microphone with other pastors,this also happens alot in pentecostals.
All these are just some of what i have observed in the pentecostal churches.I was born into the Christ Apostolic Church,and their services were real good and ok,but now they are already following the path of the pentecostals.pls your candid contribution is welcomed.

alot has been observed here,i will come back online with my contribution
Re: Pentecostals by Africankel(m): 11:45am On Jun 17, 2009
I guess we have "PENTECOSTALS" here on NL to answer these questions. . . I'll be waiting to see what they come up with.
Re: Pentecostals by segyemaro(m): 4:26am On Jun 18, 2009
The pentecostals pastors have brought in alot of doctrins to suit their purpose. Pls i stand to be corrected,i have not seen were the bible encourages placing money on the alter why message is going on,and no place in the bible that condemn the wearing of ear rings. Yes its only in pentecostal churches that their G O's dont use thesame mic with the other pastors. When some pentecostal pastors stand up to go the alter to preach,as he stands up the whole congregation will stand up and they will not sit until he takes his position on the pulpit to preach,what do we call all these?

They are mostly a bunch of mis-lead and deluded clowns who taught they can buy salvation with money whilst hero worshipping their G.O,G.S or whatever title their Oga goes by.
Re: Pentecostals by ibisomi(m): 10:52am On Jun 18, 2009
Questions raised are better answered instead of trading accusation/insult. I think that will help and edify.
Re: Pentecostals by JJYOU: 10:57am On Jun 18, 2009

kunle,i agree totally with your submission,the pentecostals pastors are responsible for all the problems in the christaindom today. where is pilgrim1?wont you talk on this or is it because its not talking on tithe?
Re: Pentecostals by Backslider(m): 8:24am On Jun 20, 2009
@post

The reason for the post is not established

if You are asking this question based of the argument of Mr Chris Oyakhilome them I will understand. Because for the true Christians Pentecost Day was when the Church receive the Holy Ghost complete.

If i then say I am a pentecostal it just mean that I believe in the baptism of the holy ghost which is scriptural. Now what ever i do else with my life that is not scriptural then I am in Error.

Can't say they are responsible for all the problems in christiandom today. Various denominations have contributed to the problems . The problems actually started as far back as when the apostles where still alive and spreading the gospeland that is why you find several warnings given by the apsotles warning against false teachers of the gospel who were distorting it for personal gain. Such false preachers are even more rampant today.

Re: Pentecostals by Nobody: 6:03pm On Jun 23, 2009
How come pentecostals pray straight to Jesus ,but pay their tithes to Jesus throug their pastors.Is it that when money is involved it becomes alright to venerate people
Re: Pentecostals by timmy7(m): 8:56pm On Jun 23, 2009
The poster made a good observations abt pentecostal churches and wants clarification on them and requested for sincere contribution but what did we get people with their cliché gospel-anti pastors,anti church,anti tithe,anti religion- who sees the thread as another avenue to attack chuch buildings pastors and their brainwashed congregation cheesy

Re: Pentecostals by Tudor6(f): 3:58pm On Jun 24, 2009

1) How many Pentecostals perform infant baptism? And if you've read your Bible, you wouldn't have problem knowing the "genuine" one. On all the occasions where baptism was performed, how was it done?

2) Whether they pierce their ears and wear earrings or not should not be anyone's palaver. You should be able to distinguish between the BASICS of Christian discipleship and the "disputable matters" (See Romans 14). The BASICS are the non-negotiable matters e.g the necessity of being born again, living a consistent holy life and worshipping God in truth and in Spirit. The disputable matters are matters that concern an individual/group that may not necessarily be applied to everyone in Christendom. This is where the issue of earrings,  Christmas/New Year celebration, watching TV etc come in. Some people may avoid these things, not necessarily because they are sinful but because the individuals feel such are not important for them. And their opinion should be respected, since the things they're avoiding do not hamper their relationship with God. People who make much fuss either to defend or oppose these things are the ones who need to be enlightened.

3) Cite the EXACT passage, please. If you're not sure of a particular verse of the Scripture, study your Bible further, till you get what you need. This is RELIGION forum! wink

4) I would add this to the "disputable matters." Except you have a credible proof that it detracts from the quality of their Christian profession and lifestyle, let them be!

5) In how many pentecostal churches have you observed this practice?
Re: Pentecostals by Tudor6(f): 4:52pm On Jun 24, 2009
@timmy7
i suggest you go look up the meaning of ''trading words'' and ''ignorant''. . . .you can also look up 'hypocrite'. . .HYPOCRITE!!!
Re: Pentecostals by timmy7(m): 5:22pm On Jun 24, 2009
Tudor abeg free me,infact u need siesta grin abi emi ni pastor to gba e ni grin

@gen2genius
i av actually observed query 5 in a number of pentecostal churches where the pastors' mic is different from any other and i asked that question bt couldnt get a meaningful answer.On query 1 I agree with u pentecostal churches doesnt practice infant baptism as it is not scriptural, baptism by immersion(authentic) is just an outward sign of accepting Jesus and I dont see how that apply to an infant. As 4 query 2 i think d guy shuld consider apostle paul's charge on our liberty to do some things where he used pple dat believed in eating certain food and those that dont believe such as an eg. If they choose nt to piece their ears or put on ear ring how has that bcom sin Let everything be done decently and in order is what d word says. I assume d poster is not a Christian 4 asking Query 3 whc is baseless allegation while those that practice 4 r simply fund raising pastors.
Re: Pentecostals by Tudor6(f): 7:36pm On Jun 24, 2009
Are you sensible at all?
Whats wrong in having more than one microphone in the church. . .sometimes i think stupidity comes with hearing and hearing the word.

You've not made any comment or analysis but merely repeated almost verbatim the questions raised by the O.P. This just reinforces my earlier view that you're ignorant and a bloody HYPOCRITE!!
Re: Pentecostals by segyemaro(m): 10:13pm On Jun 24, 2009
I think it would be better if we answered the questions raised by the poster than fighting with ourselves.
Re: Pentecostals by timmy7(m): 10:43pm On Jun 24, 2009
Now i know u r daft,i owe u no explanation 4 my observation neither do i owe u any details wen u r frustrated with life u dont come online to vent such on others but rather u just go and lie on d xpress way for u r not relevant 2 d system of things here idiot
Re: Pentecostals by segyemaro(m): 8:40am On Jun 25, 2009
Ha! Na wa
Re: Pentecostals by Tudor6(f): 10:19am On Jun 25, 2009
@timmy7
