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!

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

Traditionally it is believed to be around 330 million, but it's really meant to say infinity, as there are many aspects to the many deities found within Hinduism.

Well it all depends on the situation. For example if the main pastor of the church is sick many time's the co-pastor of the church will preach the sermon. And some times the co-pastor if some one needs help say like there is some one who needs prayer and the main preacher is in the middle of the sermon a co-pastor may ask if he or she can help pray in some way or say the main pastor is already helping some one pray the co-pastor can also help another person that is need or a prayer partner.

Yes, there was.

Actually, no, there never was an "ark of the covenant". It is an ancient Hebrew fable, like Noah's ark and the 10 commandments.

Anyone who believes the ark was real and not a fable is encouraged to present their physical, testable, empirical scientific evidence for archeological review. Until such evidence arises for archeological study, the story will be viewed as a myth.

No, he was born in 1950, and Grace in 1948

Lent is a period of fasting, penance, and reflection observed by many Christian denominations in the weeks leading up to Easter. It is a time of spiritual preparation and self-discipline, and the specific practices and traditions during Lent may vary among different Christian denominations, including Pentecostalism.

The dietary restrictions during Lent can vary depending on the denomination and individual interpretation. In some Christian traditions, including Catholicism, abstaining from meat on Fridays during Lent is a common practice. However, in other Christian denominations, including Pentecostalism, there may not be strict guidelines or requirements regarding abstaining from meat on Fridays during Lent.

Pentecostalism is a diverse movement within Christianity with various denominations and practices, and individuals may choose to observe or not observe certain Lenten practices, including dietary restrictions, based on their personal beliefs and convictions. It is best to consult the specific teachings and practices of the Pentecostal denomination or church you are affiliated with or seek guidance from your religious leader or pastor for guidance on dietary restrictions during Lent.

Psalms 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Romans 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

There are many differences between Amish and Pentecostals. Both stem from Anabaptism, but the Amish are a plain people with very reserved church services in German. Pentecostals believe in the Holy Spirit and faith healing.

Palms were waved, clothes laid on the ground, and a particular Psalm sung to celebrate the entrance and impending coronation of the soon-to-be king. Most of the Jewish people wanted to crown Jesus that day as their king, and to throw out the hated Romans. (However, the Pharisees did not want this at all, and rejected Jesus.) Psalm Sunday celebrates this particular event.

The Easter Vigil, also called the Paschal Vigil or the Great Vigil of Easter, is a service held in many Christian churches as the first official celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus. Historically, it is during this service that people (especially adults) are baptized and that adult catechumens are received into full communion with the Church. It is held in the hours of darkness between sunset on Holy Saturday and sunrise on Easter Day-most commonly in the evening of Holy Saturday-but is considered to be the first celebration of Easter Day, since the Christian tradition considers feasts- and other days of observance where Masses are celebrated- to begin at sunset of the previous day.

One common definition of a cult is an authoritarian organization led by a charismatic personality who enforces obedience to his ideals and beliefs. By this definition, the United Church of God (UCG) is not a cult, because it is governed by a 12-man council of elders. However, the Church faithfully teaches the doctrines of the now deceased Herbert W. Armstrong, who was a very charismatic and controlling leader of the Worldwide Church of God (WCG), which was widely considered to be a cult. Armstrong believed that he was an end-time apostle proclaiming the soon-coming 'Kingdom of God'. WCG discontinued Armstrong's teachings after his death, prompting members faithful to Armstrong doctrines to split and form their own organizations. The United Church of God is one of many of these offshoot organizations. These organizations vary from moderate to more extreme forms, the latter of which tend to have controlling leaders and exhibit clear characteristics of a cult. The more moderate groups, such as UCG, have departed from Armstrong's more eccentric teachings such as a ban on birthdays and makeup.

The United Church of God teaches a unique form of Christianity derived from the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong, which is known by non-adherents as 'Armstrongism'. Armstrongism teaches that groups of the same beliefs are the 'only true church', and that all other religions are false or satanic counterfeits. 'Converted' members are seen as an exclusive and select group of people specially chosen by God to become 'first-fruits' - a future group of 'god-beings' and 'kings and priests' in the literal earthly 'Kingdom of God.' God has specially 'drawn' his 'elect' and revealed the hidden knowledge of his 'truth' only to them, whereas the rest of the world is blinded by Satan to this special knowledge. The 'sign' of God's 'chosen people' is literal sabbath keeping and obedience to the Old Covenant (Mosaic) law, excluding temple and ritual laws. Significant demands are placed on members, such as two tithes and Holy Day observances. Members are not permitted to work from sunset to sunset on Holy-Days or the Sabbath (Saturday), even if they lose their employment as a result. Armstrongist groups, such as UCG, consider themselves as being different and apart from 'the world', i.e. non-believers. As an example, they will not celebrate Christmas in any form because Christmas is 'extra-biblical' and 'pagan' in origin.

Other key UCG beliefs that differ from traditional Christianity include the rejection of the Trinity, and their belief that Western white nations (predominantly England and the U.S.A.) are the direct lineal descendants of the northern tribes of Israel.

No, sex is meant to be enjoyed only within the context of marriage, so that means no sex whatsoever before marriage, sex is supposed to be saved for your spouse because your virginity is the only thing that you can give them

Gen:5:4: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters.

Adam and Eve lived for hundreds of years, and had many children throughout those years. We are not told exactly when during those years Cain killed Abel, but a significant period of time passed since their birth because they were fully grown( we know this because they offered their own sacrifices rather than Adam offering sacrifice for them

"3: And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD." Notice that the verse begins by saying in the process of time. )

Cain and Abel are chiefly mentioned because of their importance to carry forward the faith being the eldest children( some scholars believe they were twins because conception is only mentioned once for the both of them"1: And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 2: And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. ") Therefore, Cain was afraid of his brethren, the other children of Adam and Eve. Also, if you ever wondered who Cain's wife was, it was one of his sisters, which was not unusual at that time if you remember that Abraham married his half sister Sarah.

Gen:20:12: And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

The pentecostal religion is about, living life accordingly to the bible. The pentecostal religion agree's with everything in the bible, no picking and choosing. Acts 2:30-36 clearly states salvation: Then peter said unto them; Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remmission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:36: For the the promise is unto you and and children and as many afar off as the Lord our God shall call. Also many people think that cutting hair is not going to mess up their salvation, that's false. A man shall not have long hair and a woman shall not have sheared/cut hair. This all stems from when Lucifer, once an angel, tried to take over. He was in charge of beauty, he was very powerfull. When God locked him in hell, all the glory that was taken from Lucifer was placed on the womans head, as her hair. A womans hair is her glory. When a woman shears/cuts her hair she is giving glory to Lucifer/Satan. That is a form of worshiping Satan. Which if a person worships Satan then they are idoling him and not God. (It's in the Ten Commandments: Thou shalt not worship any false Gods.) Which is a sin and no sin shall make it to heaven. If you have sinned you are not lost forever, all you must do is ask God for forgivness, and he will write you in the Book of Life.
