Where does the Bible say come to Christ as you are?
There is no scripture that says exactly come as you are, but rather one that is interpreted as to be saying that. When Jesus gave the parable (Matthew 22:1 - 14) of those bidded to come to the wedding of a king's son but refused, made light of it and even killed those that had been sent out to offer his invitation. He then sent for the people of lowly status to come not in fine clothes or bearing gifts for great price, merely to come just as they were and the garments would be provided for them ready and willing to take part in a marriage. Only one was cast out and that was one who had come not ready to put on the festive robe (in this case the robe of righteousness) but rather to spectate the event.
What are the differences between the Baptist and Pentecostal denominations?
Baptist Churches and Pentecostal Churches have significant differences in theology and interpretation of Scripture which lead to very clear differences in worship and religious experience. Although both traditions place a great deal of emphasis on the "born again experience," (confession and repentance of sin and accepting Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior,) Pentecostals also stress the importance of the Second Blessing, sometimes called the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. This is a second, often deeply emotional experience that may occur moments or years after the believer accepts salvation by faith. Generally the sign of the Pentecostal experience is speaking in tongues (glossolalia) but other "gifts" such as prophesy, miracles, healing and others may be recognized.
Theologically, Baptist doctrine usually holds that the age of miracles closed when the final miracle, the Holy Bible, was complete. According to this tradition, occasional miracles of healing may be granted as answers to the prayer of the faithful, but other miracles and signs such as tongues and prophesy no longer exist in this world. Pentecostals, on the other hand, believe that the age of miracles has no limit; tongues, prophesy, discernment, healing, deliverance (exorcism) and other supernatural gifts continue to flow through the Holy Spirit for the blessing and edification of the faithful and as signs to unbelievers.

What does the term gospel mean?
The word gospel literally means "good news" and occurs 93 times in the Bible, exclusively in the New Testament. In Greek, it is the word euaggelion, from which we get our English words evangelist, Evangel, and evangelical. The gospel is, broadly speaking, the whole of Scripture; more narrowly, the gospel is the good news concerning Christ and the way of salvation. Few days ago, one of my friend purchased Gospel Bible Tracts, from, gospeltracts.org who sharing the message of Christ with all people worldwide.
Is there a difference between evanaglist and a pentacostal?
Pentecostals are a branch of evangelical Christianity that believe that speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of being filled with the Holy Ghost... Evangelical Christians do not all believe this, because that branch of Christianity can include anything from Baptist to Lutheran. Being evangelical simply means wanting to share the gospel of Jesus to the world.

What kind of relationship did Joseph have with his brothers?

Do pentecostal believe in once saved always saved?
In Hebrews 13:5 it says, "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." and in Revelation 3:20 it says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." So anotherwords, once you let Jesus into the door to your heart he never leaves. As it states in Hebrews Jesus never leaves once you let Him in. Once you let Jesus into the door to your heart you cannot throw him back out. You can throw Him in the closet but you cannot throw Him out the door.
What are the duties of a mother in the church?
First be friendly and loving to the widows, singles and young married women. The women of excellence should be known for their generous and loving hearts. They are to pray and keep the ministry and leader before the Lord. She should be made aware of whose sick among them, convey messages to the deacons and make periodic calls to members who may have slacked in their commitment to the church.
Why is the holy spirit important in pentecostal worship?
A:
The New Testament is replete with references to the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost), for example, 1 Thessalonians 4:8 : "He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit."
To disbelieve in the Holy Spirit would therefore mean seeing the New Testament as theologically unreliable, which is a difficult position for a Christian to take. On the other hand, belief in the Holy Trinity is somewhat less fundamental to Christian faith.
Yes...don't ask me who because I don't know.

Where did Cain live after slaying Abel?
The bible tells us that Cain and Abel were brothers. Cain and Abel both made an offer to the Lord. The smoke from Abel's altar went straight up to heaven, but the smoke from Cain's altar stayed on the earth. Cain did not offer as the Lord had told them too. Cain was displeased and later killed his brother.
Cain became the first murderer! Murderers do not enter heaven!
Lesson: watch out for jealousy!!!
Jesus forgives but you have to do this with a true repentant heart and certainly kill no more! Cain knew what he was supposed to do, though it is assumed in the Bible as they were intelligent people (as they were about 50 times as smart as us), and that was to offer a sacrifice, a living sacrifice, but he did what he wanted, and offered of his own hand, his works, his plants/crops. Abel also knew what he was to do, and though his brother did not do the right thing, he was to, and he offered a lamb, a living sacrifice, one that was to symbolize Christ on the cross, which was also a prophesy itself, as abel was as a lamb and he died by his brother's hand, as Christ would later do, without any recorded struggle, which was the way in Christ would also die as well.
What are the duties of a missionary in the pentecostal church?
Bishops tend to be found in the episcopalian church, Anglican church and Roman Catholic Church (and in some branches of the Methodist Church) and not the pentecostal church. A bishop is the third level of ordained clergy, deacons and priests being the other two. A bishop is the church leader of an area called a diocese which consists of many churches, parishes and clergy. A diocesan bishop has the sole right to sit at the cathedra - the bishop's throne for the diocese, the church iin which this is kept being called a cathedral. Usually cathedrals are large and lavish churches only found in larger cities. The bishop is responsible as spiritual head of the diocese and as such he has the authority to appoint clergy, ordain, confirm, administer, and so on. Although much delegation is done, in theory, nothing can really happen within the diocese without his ppermission. He is expected to take a leadership role in the Church nationally and sometimes internationally. because of their busy roles, larger dioceses have suffragen bishops - assistants who do not have a cathedral position. In addition, archdeacons - priests given a special administrative role - also aid the bishop in his duties across the diocese.
Does the devil know what we are thinking?
No. And, since he is very clever and knowledgeable about human nature, he doesn't need to to achieve his evil purposes. The devil as a created being is not omnipotent or able to read minds, but, to be honest, one doesn't need much intelligence to know what some people are thinking, especially if one knows them.
What is a pentacostal Christian?
I believed they are, however the issue of speaking in tongues is something that they should keep between themselves and God. No doubt still possible this can be given a spiritual gift from God and if so anyone who wish to use this must interpret the word his saying, so it will edify the body of Christ, if he or she's unable to do that, then is purely not come from God.
Because how could you be effective in preaching the Word of God if no one will understand the word your saying.
A Spirit of Truth-- Is the Word of God.
A Spirit of confusion, means no one understands the word your saying.
Why do popes change their real name when elected?
No Pope is obligated to change his name. This is a pious tradition (not Sacred Tradition).
The practice arose when a pagan convert to Christianity became Pope and changed his name from Mercury (after the pagan Roman god) to John II in 533 C.E.
Until then, the Popes kept their original names, from Peter (#1) to Boniface II (#55).
Between John II (#56) and Sergius IV (#142) in 1009 C.E. only a few Popes changed their names.
But since Sergius IV, it has been common practice for all Popes to change their name when elected pontiff except Adrian VI and Marcellus II.
Do pentecostals believe in soul sleep or an immortal soul?
Baptists, at least Southern Baptists, do not believe in soul sleep. When Jesus spoke to the thief on the cross He told him that he would be with Him TODAY, not some distant time in the future. Baptists understand the use of the word "sleep" in the New Testament as a euphemism for death. When Paul was contemplating what became of one at death, he wrote that to be absent from the body (dead) was to be with Christ. There is no intermediate step between death and being with Christ.
No priest or religious sermon may be married unless their spouse died. Not true. Noel Jones is a bishop in one of the pentacostal churces, "Church of God" something. They can be married. The Roman Catholic Church is one of the very few that prohibits clergy from marrying. Many churches have bishops.
