What beliefs do the Pentecostal churches have that the Baptists do not believe?

If someone is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, they are supposed to obey Him and not their own ideas. This is what is meant when they say He is Lord, which means Master. It is about a RELATIONSHIP with the Lord not some pet idea. It is also very important to understand that God looks at the heart of man not what he does. In almost every denomination, I have found that no one talks about repenting and keeping a pure heart before God. It is all about how they do things that they think are correct. We are supposed to be taught by God Himself. Hebrews 8;10, Hebrews 10:16.
Baptists tell you the whole book of Acts (a book in The Bible which begins Jesus' ministry after He left the earth) is false especially if they are the baptists who do not want to believe that each believer has a language given to them by God where they can pray when they do not know how to pray. Pentecostals hold to this Truth but their hearts can be full of judgment, man worship, infighting and envy.
Ask the Lord to show you what is correct. He is a Great Dad and a Wonderful Lord!

Do pentecostal churches believe in no vaccinations?
Vaccinations are acceptable by the Pentecostal church.
Are the beliefs of Evangelicals and Baptist very identical?
"Evangelical" is a general term that includes many churches; basically, most Christian churches that are not Catholic. I believe it includes baptists.
What is the Pentecostal attitude toward the sacraments?
Baptists take communion and are baptized upon confession of faith. Those are the only two that Baptists use.
What are the pentecostal beliefs about evolution?
They do not believe in evolution; only creation.
What is the difference between Pentecostal Assemblies of the World and United Pentecostal Churches?
There is basically no difference in the doctrines of the two organizations. Both believe in water baptism in Jesus' name and the infilling of the Holy Ghost, as evidenced by speaking in tongues. Although both used to believe and teach that women should not wear jewelry, pants, or makeup, many churches in the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World have gotten away from that strict discipline, while most of the United Pentecostal Churches are holding on to that teaching.
Which Baptist believe in glossolalia?
The short answer is that ALL Baptists believe in glossalalia, translated as "speaking in tongues" or "speaking in foreign languages." However... that answer is probably not satisfying. So the question can be broken down further... 1. Which Baptists interpret glossolalia as referring to (miraculously) speaking in a foreign language, and which interpret it as ecstatic babbling? 2. Which Baptists believe that glossolalia as a spiritual gift no longer occuring, which believe it can occur as God chooses, and which believe it is normative? 3. Which Baptists interpret glossolalia in line with the traditional Pentecostal theology where it is a necessary evidence of a second step of spiritual growth, the baptism of the Holy Spirit? 4. Which Baptists interpret glossalalia in line with the common Charismatic or Neo-Charismatic understanding of a common (and perhaps desirable) gift from God, but not signifying a special spiritual status in relationship with God? 5. Which Baptists interpret glossalalia in line with certain splinter Christian groups that teach that it is a necessary evidence of salvation? Baptists, as a movement, are non-creedal and autonymous so interpretations of glossalalia should (in theory) depend on specific local churches and specific individuals. Most Baptists take the understanding that glossalalia is speaking in foreign languages rather than ecstatic babbling. This is based on the etymology of the term and its description in Acts. They would normally see the phenomenon in I Corinthians as the same since the term is the same and Luke (the writer of Acts) was a disciple of Paul (the writer of I Corinthians). Some believe that glossalalia described in Acts and I Corinthians are two different phenomena. Most Baptists would also see glossalalia as not being tied to salvation or baptism of the Holy Spirit. They would base this on the inconsistent role of glossalalia in the conversions in Acts, and the absence of importance of glossalalia as a sign in the Epistles. Some Baptists or Baptist churches have embraced a Pentecostal or Charismatic (or Neo-Charismatic) interpretation of glossalalia... again because of the autonymous nature of Baptist churches and the fact that creeds are normally rejected by Baptists. One group, the "Pentecostal Free-Will Baptists" clearly try to hold onto their identity as Baptists while formally embracing a Pentecostal understanding of glossalalia.
What are the beliefs of the Antioch primitive baptist church?

Is the Nazarene church like the Assembly of God church?
No, they are not alike. Assembly of God is a Pentecostal denomination. The Nazarene Church is a breakoff of the Pentecostals, but their beliefs are somewhat different. They do not list themselves as Pentecostals and do not fall under that umbrella. They are a denominational church in their own right, not affiliated with any other church. Some smaller churches have formed from the Nazarene denomination, such as the Wesleyans. Their main belief that differs from other Christian Churchs (Pentecostal) is the belief you can lose your salvation once you are saved. They do not believe in eternal security. They also believe you can reach santification here on earth, not just after you die.. The Pentecostal Church does not teach either of these beliefs, but many Pentecostal Churchs believe in speaking in tongues as a sign you are saved. The Nazarene Church does not believe in this, nor does it encourage the congregation to speak in tongues. Those are the main differences between the two churches. edit by j54gonzalez: I believe you are mistaken about Pentecostal's and eternal security. I was raised Pentecostal and my grandfather is a Pentecostal minister, never have i heard that Pentecostal's believe you can't lose your salvation. If anything it was stressed that you could stray from God and lose your salvation, you can repent for what you have done but none the less you can stray from the "narrow path" if you will. I would like to know where the assumed "breakoff" from the Pentecostal church happened historically. From 1908 until 1915 the official name was "Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene". However, that name was dropped so as not to be confused with the nonbiblical extremes of the pentecostal movement that began with the revival on Azusa Street. Nazarenes are Wesleyan Armenians, who do not believe you can "lose" your salvation like I can lose my carkeys. However, I can become an apostate and after having been delivered from the sin that separates us from God only to return to it. We believe that salvation is based on a relationship with Christ, not a contractual agreement. RMD
