What is the biblical definition for fasting?

There is no 'Biblical definition' for fasting. But there are many examples of fasting in the Bible, from overnight, (King Darius), to 40 days, (Moses and Jesus). And also for groups of people, like the Ninevites and also for individuals.

It is generally going without food and water, but may be in self denial in some other way.

Another Answer:

We are told to 'afflict your soul' or in other words to deny our body its daily sustenance - food and water. There are times when wearing sackcloth and praying intensely as you pour dirt over your head in a humble supplication.

The bible does define a fast, it is very specific... This chapter discusses the INCORRECT way to fast (2 - 4), and the correct way to fast... (6 - 14), it is a great study using the Strong's concordance. You can use one for free at blueletterbible.com. It is an awesome tool for warfare and crucifying the flesh!

It is found in:

Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.

3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.

4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do thisday, to make your voice to be heard on high.

5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

7Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

8Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:

11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Can a Mormon man and a non-denominational Christian woman have a happy marriage without one of them converting?

It is possible, neither faith requires your potential spouse to convert. I have known of several successful inter-faith marriages involving Mormons and other Christians. However, it will probably not be easy and will require a lot of mutual respect.

Most Mormons and Christians prefer to marry someone who shares their faith, but many are open to marrying someone who has different religious beliefs. If you do marry someone of a different religion, it is important that you show respect for their faith and practices. It is a good idea to attend each other's worship services, participate in each other's religious traditions, and choose to respectfully disagree rather than argue when it comes to religious differences. Before you have children, you will need to discuss how you will approach religion with them. Many have their children attend both churches and learn the tenets of both religions until they are old enough to decide for themselves which to join.

Why do assembly of God believe salvation can be lost?

The reason that Assembly of God, Church of God and yes, some Baptist churches believe that salvation can be lost is because salvation is not a license/ticket to sin. Yes, we do have an advocate with the Father, but becoming a Christian means surrendering your life to Christ and following Him as closely as possible. We do make mistakes, but we are to resist temptation. One of the previous posts states that one cannot lose salvation because the scripture in Romans states that nothing can separate us from the love of God. That is true. Nothing can separate us from that love because God indeed loves everyone, sinner and Christian alike. But, God created us to serve Him. If we couldn't lose our salvation, then why do we continue to repent of our sins even after salvation? You must strive to live a Godly lifestyle to make it to heaven.

Scriptural evidences:All of the following passages were written to the "saved:"

Galatians 4:9-11 - But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? You observe days and months and seasons and years.I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.

Galatians 5:4 - You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

Colossians 2:8 - Beware lest anyone cheat youthrough philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. (See also Col. 2:18)

Hebrews 3:12, 13 - Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Hebrews 10:26, 27 - For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

2 John 1:8-11 - Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

God holds the saved in His open palm, not a clenched fist. The Bible clearly teaches that no OUTSIDE force has the power to separate us from His love, but we can separate ourselves from salvation by disobedience or negligence.

[Quotes from NKJV]

Where in bible says you can wear ear rings?

At one point some are even commanded to pierce their ear.

Ex 21:5-6

Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.

What is the importance of tithing in the Pentecostal and Charismatic churches?

The New Testament and New Covenant through Christ erased the requirement for a tithe. However, it does say that we should give freely to those who are in need. Furthermore, it also calls us to give everything and follow Christ's example. That is a little tougher standard than the Old Testament requirement, which was actually about 40%. 10 percent to the Levitical Priests. 10% to the government. 10% each year to travel to jerusalem on a pilgrimage and 10% once every three years to give to the local homeless and poor in your area. The most important reason for tithing is that it provides finances for the maintenance and operation of the church. The paying of tithes is how all bills are paid and is how the various ministries of the church are financed. The paying of tithes also teaches one to be more faithful and committed to the work of the Lord.
