Did Lot's Wife Edith turn to a pillow of salt after looking back?
Answer 1
Lot's wife is never named, and she became a 'pillar' of salt when she 'looked back' disobediently(Genesis 19:17), perhaps longingly, at her former lifestyle and material goods left behind in Sodom.(Genesis 19:24-26)(Luke 7:31+32/Luke 9:52/Philippians 3:13)
Answer 2
Yes! It seems she did indeed become a pillar of salt. Gen.19:26 provide evidence to her ill-fated decision of ignoring the warning cited by Gen. 19:17 “look not behind thee … lest thou be consumedâ€. She is also referenced to in the New Testament at Luke 17:32. Nowhere in scripture is Lot's wife mentioned by name. However, there exist extra-biblical historical accounts that name her specifically.
Answer Improvement
The ancient Book called the "Sefer haYashar" (Book of the Upright) gives additional details that it was Lots wives compassion for the daughters she had left in the city that made her turn around. It also says her name is "Ado" pronounced "ah-doe".

The church organization was founded in the 1922 in Blue Diamond, KY. The church is a part of the Pentecostal movement, that begin in 1906. The church's foundation is the Apostolic doctrine of the Holy Bible. The church teaches Holiness is a lifestyle and not a church denomination. The name of the church refers to the biblical text in 1 Timothy 3:15 (KJV).
"But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."
The word "militant" was added to indicate organization's the fight and position against sin and their stand on The Holy Bible being infallible and God inspired Word of God.

What does the phrase 'you are what you think' mean?
it means you are what you think and belive. if you feel that God is omnipresent the he is if you don't you don't. but basically it means it is what you think, what you feel and believe.
You should probably find another church, esp. if the pastor is just doing his own thing and not paying attention to what's going on.
I have personally seen this happen several times. If it is a Bible church then the pastor, by such behavior is disqualified to be pastor. However, some are so proud and stubborn they may cling to power and also claim legal authority to do so. It depends how the church is constituted and what provisions, if any are made for this type of situation, specifically relating to the position of the pastor.
Even if there is legal authority in a constitution it still may be better to walk away since we are 'called to peace'. If a pastor is that proud and stubborn (without knowing the situation) then even if there is legal authority it may still be better to 'go'. The exception here is what is best for the name of Christ. If the church is a 'landmark' and many are, that does even not necessarily mean that it must be kept at all costs. The church is really people and the early church grew like wildfire without a building.
The decision is really a personal one which can only be made in light of the clear word of God. What needs to be borne in mind is that there needs to be a committed core of praying, Godly, men (presuming you are following the Bible model of male church leadership) who are humbly prepared to take the issue head on. If not, then walking away is the only option anyway. If such a group exists within the church, make sure that everything is done both biblicaly and constitionaly, the former being the most important.
What does the pente coastal religion believe in?
First of all it is just one word, Pentecostal, and it is not its own religion. Pentecostal is a denomination of the church. Like there are Baptists, Methodists, Assembly of God, Church of Christ, Church of God, Pentecostal,Presbyterian, etc... There is a very long list of denominations which are essentially divisions in the church. This is very sad because God wants us all to be in unity and not have divisions among us. But, no one is perfect and since the fall of man there will never be totalagreement and peace.
You can easily search anywhere online and find definitions and history of Pentecostalism But, if you really want to know the truth and not have any bias in your answer than I would suggest finding a pentecostal church and talking to the pastor. I personally attend an Assembly of God church. Assembly of God does practice a lot of the same teaching that the Pentecostals do. In my opinion there is no doctrine that is totally correct in this world. The only thing that you can follow is the Bible and try your best to do God's will.
What are the qualification and effect of anointing?
Please note that I am a Bible-believing, nondenomination Christian. According to the Bible, (I will use the King James version as it is used by most Christian denominations), anointing comes from God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), and is used for cleansing, and was also given to the elders of a church body for healing purposes.
The word "anoint" in Hebrew means "overflow," and usually pertains to the use of oil, pouring it over a person's head.
In the Greek, the word anoint can mean "spread, rub, apply, or smear with." You may find these examples in: Exodus 28:41, Ruth 3:3, Matthew 6:17, Mark 16:1, Luke 7:46, and Revelations 3:18. These are only a few of the examples spoken of in the Bible.
It is not what we can't do, it's what we choose not to do according to the Bible. Women don't wear pants or immodest shirts, they don't cut their hair (very, very, very few Pentecostal women do cut their hair). Men definitely don't wear skirts, they wear pants and they wear modest shirts, and they keep their hair short, not long. Neither Men nor women wear any jewelry, get tattoos or piercings, consume any alcoholic food or beverage, do or say sinful things, or any other thing the Bible counts as wrong. All want to accept God's perfect plan for their life and serve Him all the way. This does not mean Pentecostals are perfect, because every body makes mistakes and may trip here and there, but God helps Pentecostals to stick to what we believe in.
What is the difference between pentecoastal and presbyterian?
Pentecostal churches tend to be independent fellowships without strong connections to organized denominations; each congregation follows the leading of the Holy Spirit as they feel it. Presbyterian Churches are "connectional," with each local congregation electing elders as representatives to local, regional and national governing bodies. Pentecostals emphasize personal salvation through a "born again" experience as well as the "Second Blessing," or Baptism in the Holy Spirit, evidenced by glossolalia and/or other ecstatic gifts and miraculous signs. Presbyterians place emphasis on covenants and the community, practicing infant baptism and freedom of the individual conscience.
Jesus came down from the mountain where he was fasting for 40 days. And people welcomed him by throwing palms under his donkey so his riding animal would not touch the ground. this was kind of the red carpet treatment. but he was riding a donkey which is more like a poor mans car nowadays. the juxtaposition is supposed to show you how the king of the universe was still a poor man by choice. And also that even-though he was worshipped now, he would be given up to humiliation, torture and death in less than a week.
Christians now bring palms to church, or other flowers if they cannot find palms, to show they worship Jesus.
The palms are then burned and used for ash Wednesday of the next year. Where Catholics wear ash on their foreheads to symbolize their sinfulness.
