SignUp Now!I was just curious how many here in this forum that claim to be charismatic pentacostals go to churches just like the ones in tbe vids.seeing people laughing on the ground out of control seems to go against the word
2 Timothy 1:7
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
couple others scriptures come to mind
1 Corinthians 14:40
But all things should be done decently and in order.
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

Yes, we should believe all of these dog-barkers and writhing-on-the-floor-screamers are filled with the Holy Spirit of God, just as we should believe also that the power of the Holy Spirit of God is in Kenneth Copeland's breath to halt the weather, and in Benny Hinn's jacket to cause scores of people to lose their balance and fall backwards, and in the magical properity wallet you pay t.v. propsperity preacher so-and-so $1,000 to mail you at your home, et alia.This isn't my church.
... and yet.
Acts 2:12; And they all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"
Acts 2:13; But others were mocking and saying, "They are full of sweet wine."
Acts 2:15; "For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day;
It seems whatever was happening here. People thought they were drunk.
You are free to believe all of these dog-barkers and writhing-on-the-floor-screamers are filled with the Holy Spirit of God, just as you are free to believe also that the power of the Holy Spirit of God is in Kenneth Copeland's breath to halt the weather, and in Benny Hinn's jacket to cause scores of people to lose their balance and fall backwards, and in the magical properity wallet you pay t.v. propsperity preacher so-and-so $1,000 to mail you at your home, et alia.Like those who fall backwards slain in the spirit ?

None of this happens at my church. I attend a Foursquare Church; which is a very evangelical Christian denomination. We are Pentecostals. I enjoy going to my church. It is so very interesting and alive. I used to drag myself to attend church services in the past. I never liked traditional or formal churches. Churches should be fun and enjoyable, but it makes me cringe when people assume this is how it is at every Pentecostal church. I also attended Vineyard Churches before, and they are biblical and interesting. They have good music.
Many people also use videos like these to target and attack genuine Spirit-filled Christians, because they only happen to believe in the false doctrine of cessationism.
Perhaps your pentecostal congregation is not as unspititually led as the ones in the previous videos. It may be closer to what we see with Paula White:They are NOT Pentecostals. Besides, Pentecostals are divided. We actually helped a lot of people come out of such cults in the past, and we still help people come out of the Oneness cults. There are lots of cults out there that satan himself made to blaspheme, or confuse people.
Satan wants people to turn away from receiving the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, and all the likes of those TV preachers that you mentioned actually worship money, and deceive the gullible.

Cessationism.? The ceasing of what?
New prophecy as the tongue of God. It as it is written (sola scriptura) it is sealed with 7 seals till the end of time .. we have the perfect. . face to face in the faithful knowledge of God .
God is not a man as us. Making baby noises without meaning and falling backward slain in the spirit mocks the "spirt of judgement" exposes falsr prophets and false apostles. The Holy Spirit defines the spirit of judgement .
No such thing as a outward sign as a gift to wonder about or marvel after rather than believing the end of faith .. Spiritual unseen gifts yes they are all still actively working out in believers .
Any church with women pastors is a heretical church, like Thyatira. Come to think of of it, Aimee Semple was a Hollywood harlot or starlet, and it's her statement of faith with which you agree.No.
I'd suggest:
Angelus Temple: (International Church of the Foursquare Gospel)
Canby Foursquare Church:
And, you can visit foursquare.org for our declaration of faith.
If you do not like Pentecostal Churches, then just do not go there, but do not post random videos, and attack/accuse other believers based on cults, and controversial televangelists; Also, Paula White is not a Pentecostal.
Try Baptists churches. They are good. I grew up Baptist, or even Lutheran Churches, if you like traditional ones, or attend a non-denominational church, if that works for you. Maybe, ask God where to attend and worship.
If you have time to listen and learn:
Yes many of us - especially outside of the U.S.A. - enjoy Bible obedient Pentecostal churches that worship in spirit and truth.I do not know what falling backward, or slain in the spirit, or making baby noise is. Nothing like that happens at my church, and not all things that is labeled Pentecostalism/Charismatic comes from the lord but there are genuine Pentecostal/Charismatic churches if you know where to look. I already mentioned foursquare, and vineyard churches because I attended at those.
How many females are pastoring men in your church?Yes many of us - especially outside of the U.S.A. - enjoy Bible obedient Pentecostal churches that worship in spirit and truth.
It is best not to engage with cessationists as they are convinced that their churches, although devoid of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, are correct and Biblical.
God is calling people out of the world to believe the full gospel of salvation and to yield unto the truth of the scriptures - to be born new from above by water and the Spirit with the Bible evidence of speaking in tongues.
Christian forum sites are great to share gospel music, testimonials and other friendly material, but Bible Discussion Forums often deteriorate into cesspools of slander and nastiness.
And if you defend the full gospel too much you will get banned.
