What is Christian confirmation?
Confirmation is one of the seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church. The Code of Canon Law provides a helpful definition:
* Can. 879 The sacrament of Confirmation confers a character. By it the baptized continue their path of christian initiation. They are enriched with the gift of the Holy Spirit, and are more closely linked to the Church. They are made strong and more firmly obliged by word and deed to witness to Christ and to spread and defend the faith. The Catechism of the Catholic Church is helpful as well:
* 1285 Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace.89 For "by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed."90 For more on the Sacrament of Confirmation, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, nos. 1285-1321.

What does An idle mind is the devil's Workshop mean?
Somebody who is busy with work - an occupied mind as opposed to an idle one - doesn't have time to think about sinning or doing any evil.
Somebody that has an idle mind has too much time on their hands and think-up and falsely imagine problems in their life that do not really exist. However, a busy mind at work, at school or both will stay occupied and will go about life in a happy typical manner, NOT falsely imagining problems in their life.
A society that had increasing free time and increasing knowledge also had time to think.. learn and debate all aspects of life. Such as religion.. and man's existence. When an educated and knowledgeable society rises, the ability of those who would seek to control them - such as governments & religious groups/cults - they lose the ability to do so.
Do Presbyterians speak in tongues?
No they do not. There is what is known as The Gift of Tongues and also The Interpretation of Tongues.

The Interpretation of Tongues is when a person speaks in his own language but is understood by those who do not speak that language.
Those religions who claim to be able to speak in tongues only speak gibberish which is not understood be anyone, not even the speaker or God.

Why do pentecostal women have long hair and wear no makeup?
because it says in the bible that it is a sin. a woman's hair is considered her spritual covering. if the hair is cut even a tiny bit that means she is not spiritually covered essentially.
Most Pentecostals/Apostolics follow the teaching of the UPCI on the scripture passage of 1 Cor. 11:3-16, which is peculiar. They make mistakes with the Greek text and tend to be deceitful in citing word definitions, and they skip over the crucial element in the historical/cultural background of the passage.
There is no "spiritual" covering in the passage, and long hair is not the "covering"; neither does "long" hair mean "uncut" hair. It renders the passage confusing to substitute "long hair" for "covered", esp v6.
If "long" hair means "uncut" hair, the definition CHANGES when applied to a man. For example, a woman with hair to her waist but trims her ends 1 inch no longer has "long" hair. A man who comes into the church with a long pony-tail would only need to trim his ends 1 inch, and he would not have "long" hair, either. But, according to Pentecostals/Apostolics this definition does not apply to men. A man with a "trimmed" pony-tail has long hair, but not a woman.
Why is the church called apostolic?
The Old Apostolic Faith is the only faith that leads to soul salvation I see the Old Apostolic Church as 'a way of life'. Although it is a Spiritual church, it proves to come in very handy when I apply my Spiritual thoughts to my natural life. We don't see the Bible as 'natural' but see it in a Spiritual way which, personally, makes alot more sense than what is plainly written in black and white. You could almost say we pay attention to the story behind the story... I am what we call a 'born-Apostolic' (Born in - and brought up in this church) and wouldn't exchange my faith in this Church for anything in the world!
Which countries forbid Christianity?
It isn't that countries hate Christians. It is that some individuals hate Christians. And some countries are populated by extremely large percentages of people who are intolerant of Christians. This might make it seem like a country hates Christians. But the bottom line remains the same - hatred is a quality held or expressed by people, not by countries.
Depends on what you are thinking if your thoughts revolve around something that is sinful like adultery murder ect. than yes it's sin because even though you aren't physically do it you still have the same passion as if you were doing physically so yes your thoughts can be sin

What Scriptures in the Bible say Jesus went to Hell?
The relevant text from the King James Bible:
1 Peter 3:18-20: "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. "
The most significant statement is, "[Christ] ... being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison", because this says that Christ went to hell, where he preached to the condemned spirits (spirits in prison). This passage began the early Christian dogma that Christ preached in hell, although the presumed purpose of this seems unclear.
What is a role of a co-pastor?

What does the number 12 represent?
Well, Jesus had 12 main disciples that he personaly taught during his lifetime, but the number twelve doesn't necessarily symbolize anything. < Wrong
Note that Jesus had many other followers during his lifetime and now he has many disciples scattered throughout the earth that he teaches through the Bible and the Holy Spirit.
"The number 12 disciples is symbolic of the 12 tribes of Israel and reflects the view of his followers that the disciples of Jesus were a "new Israel" with whom God was entering a new covenant."
