1.believing-it involves knowing,but not simply knowing in our heads what we are suposed to profess as Christians.
2.doing-we must show we believe by putting it into action.
3.entrusting/workshipping-it must also touch our hearts,it should move us to entrust ourselves into God's hands.
Who is Prophet Bobby L Dawson?
Prophet Bobby L. Dawson is a Pentecostal evangelist from Indiana who is led by God to not only preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but he also prophecies in the name of the Lord.
First, God has toGIVE us ourFaith in Him:
"For by Grace are ye saved through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the Gift of God..." (Eph.2:8 KJV)
[same verse LVB Living Bible]: "Because of His Kindness you have been saved through TRUSTING Christ. And even TRUSTING is not of yourselves; it too is a Gift from God."
Like the "genetic traits" that a human father passes on to his children when they are conceived... so does the Father's Seed, His Holy Spirit, bearing witness with our spirit thatWE ARE GOD'S CHILDREN [see Rom.8:16], plant the seed or spark of Faith of God into our hearts.
The Bible maintains a "familial" reference to mankind's relationship with his Creator; as Jesus refers to the One who sent Him as His FATHER.
"...worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. The Father is looking for anyone who will worship Him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and Truth." (John 4:23-24 NLT New Living Translation)
God created man... and the "family structure" for, both, the male and female's bearing and rearing of children in the teachings of the Lord [ideally] -- as well as to SHOW MAN WHAT HE IS DOING WITH HIS SPECIAL CREATION, MAN, created in His image [as a human father creates his children in his image]. God ismaking for Himself the future "Family of God."
And FAITH is the "Seed" of God planted and conceived in the "human spirit" much like the physical seed of a human father impregnates the female egg.
As for the "building" or "growth" of that Faith -- GOD's WORD is the "nourishment" [the Bread of Life - see Matt.4:4] by which we as God's Child, and our Faith develops.
The Holy Spirit dwelling within God's Child is the umbilical cord between heaven and the human heart; the Food Source, that reveals God's Truth to the human spirit and heart. And it'sour "obedience" [our subsequent works and deedsin response to God's Truth] that exercises God's Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding in us, that "builds" and develops Righteous Godly Character in the growing, gestating, Child of God.
"...When will you ever learn that Faith that does not result in good deeds is useless? ...So you see, we are made Right with God by WHAT WE DO, not by Faith alone." (James 2:20-24 NLT)
"...I have food you don't know about... Jesus explained: 'My Nourishment comes from DOING THE WILL OF GOD, who sent Me, and from FINISHING HIS WORK." (John 4:32-34 NLT)
"For we are God's Masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago." (Eph.2:10 NLT)
Bottom line: WE DON'T BUILD FAITH! God builds it in us.
Like a human child growing in his mother's womb... it'sthe spiritual growth and developmentof God's Child that results from his "obedience" to the "instruction" [Nourishment] of God's Word... which:
"...is useful to teach us what is True and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is Right. It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every Good Thing God wants us to do." (II Tim.3:16-17 NLT)
Building Faith is taking whatever measure of itGod has given us... overcoming the flesh... and growing in Spirit... through obedience to Jesus Christ.
The building of Faith is learning to LOVE other than the self. It's overcoming envy, jealousy, lust and greed [the nature of the flesh].
"So now I am giving you a new Commandment: LOVE EACH OTHER. Just as I have Loved you, you should Love each other. Your Love for one another will prove to the world that you are My disciples." (John 13:35 NLT)

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was a Baptist preacher, but I do not think he was a pentecostal preacher.
Todd Bentley is an evangelist and revivalist. He is originally from Canada and has traveled across the globe preaching and praying for the sick to be healed. On April 2, 2008 he led a series of evangelistic meetings at Ignited Church, in Lakeland, Florida and there has been continually nights of revival in what is now known as the Florida Outpouring. Todd Bentley believes that prayer can no only save lives, but that healings and resurrection from the dead will occur. Todd Bently has been asked by news agencies to give prof of healings but does not. Todd Bentley also believes that God instructed him to kick an eldery woman in the face, knock a gentleman over, bang a womans legs into a platform and "leg drop the pastor" in his own words. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K8XjObzfXM A search on youtube or wikipedia well documents his stange and disturbing beliefs.
He is a pastor of a vibrant and fast growing church called Royal Connections. The church's motto is to change expectation into manifestation and also impacting its society. He is known to be a possibilitarian. A prayer leader indeed

The Christian Bible never names Mary's mother. But Mary's father is named in Luke 3:23. It says, "Joseph was the son of Heli." Joseph was Mary's husband's name.
This could seem to contradict Matthew 1:16 that says that Joseph was the son of Jacob. These chapters follow two different chronologies. But since women weren't as well respected in the day, the Luke 3 chronology starts off with Joseph being the son of Heli, not Mary.
Matthew 1 and Luke 3 trace two different people. Their genealogies meet up with King David, and are the same beyond that. Heli was Mary's father, but we don't know who her mother is.
Catholic Answer:
Apocryphal writings and tradition confirm that Anne was the mother of Mary.
Can An individual claim a church as personal?

How many people die and go to hell a day?
The Bible doesn't mention that; but as we know that there are many people dying by the second around the world. The ones that go to hell are those that died in their sins, didn't accepted Christ as Lord and Saviour, lived an unholy life, and practice sin and see nothing wront with that. Well only God knows that but it is everyone above the age of accountability and that doesn't have the Holy Ghost.:)
Exorcism is a practice that claims to drive evil spirits or demons out of a person, to relieve alleged symptoms of mental illnesses or other unusual behaviour. However, we now know conclusively that mental illnesses and unusual behaviour are not caused by devils. Belief in possession by evil spirits has not entirely died out and a few people sometimes still take part in "exorcisms", whether for entertainment, financial gain or out of misplaced piety. However, no one can exorcise demons because possession by demons does not exist.
Rituals of exorcism, when undertaken in a misguided attempt to assist a mentally ill person, are dangerous - not because demons exist, but because proper medical help is delayed. Rituals of exorcism, if undertaken in a misguided attempt to force a vulnerable person to return to a religious community, would be a gross violation of human rights.
In summary, there is no way to cast out devils or demons, and you should not participate in 'exorcisms'.
Can you identify The plan of salvation in the first chapter of genesis?
Yes. First, its important to understand that the Old Testament illustrates the New Testament spiritual truths through the physical stories contained in the Old Testament. Accordingly, every single New Testament doctrine is beautifully illustrated in the Book of Genesis (the book of Beginnings), especially in the first 12 chapters. The plan for salvation is contained in the first chapter of Genesis, and in fact, in the first 5 verses, Genesis 1:1-5. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the Earth. It was created perfectly in the Beginning as Gods relationship with man was perfect (with Adam) in the Garden of Eden. However man sinned, he fell, was expelled from the Garden of Eden and denied access to the Tree of Life, which would have enabled Adam to live forever. The result of Adams sin brought the ruinous curse of sin and death upon all his seed after him, and the very earth itself, the result, was ruin, and spiritual darkness.Rom5:12, Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep There was a time when you were an infant, you were innocent, and did not know the difference between right and wrong. However, at a certain point in your life you passed this age of innocence, when you recognized right from wrong. At that point, the sin nature passed down to you from Adam (Rom5:12), revived, and shortly thereafter you sinned and were likewise under the curse and condemnation and ruin of sin from that time forth. (Romans 7:9) Gen 1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters In that darkness and in the midst of that ruin of a ruined creation by sin, and a ruined life by sin, your life, the Spirit of God is moving, to call you unto Christ. (John 15:26, John 16:7-8, John 6:65) Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light --compare with John 8:12 Then spake Jesus unto them saying, I am the light of the world... When we receive Christ as Saviour, Christ the light of the world brings light to us, with a reborn spirit that is reborn within us and at one with Christ, the light of the world. Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, THAT IT WAS GOOD: and God divided the light from the darkness You become two people, two natures at your salvation. There is now the new you, the Born again you, spiritually reborn that is in the light, and at one with Christ, it is your new nature and it is good in Gods eyes, as its basis of righteousness is Christ's righteousness, not your own, but there is still your old nature, your old man, the darkness. And now the two are permanently divided, and at odds with each other, light from the darkness, two opposite natures. Light and darkness divided by God, we likewise, our new light nature is divided from our old dark nature by God. Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. compare with 2Peter 1:19..and the day star arise in your hearts. The Day, capitalized here in Gen 1:5, as the Day star mentioned in 2 peter and Mal 4:2 Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings, these all refer directly to Christ. As the the light is now called Day, we are, the new man are now called Christ. Christ in us, He is the light that is within us, the goodness and righteousness that is the nature of the new man, is Christs. We reflect Him, the rest of our life is spent in God working out His new good nature in us working out into all areas of our life as we live the rest of our life as a witness of Jesus Christ that He is the Light of the world that brings light to a world of darkness ruined by the curse of sin. The rest of this growth process is likewise pictured in the rest of Genesis 1.
Do evil spirits exist and could a Christian see them when under attack.?
Evil spirits do exist.For we know that our battles are not with flesh and blood(human), but against principalities, rulers of darkness......ect.... Read Ephasians 6:12. But more powerful is He that is in us (Jesus Christ). A Christian can be able to see them, but in many cases we don't see them, but we can feel the satanic spirits around us. Yes they do exist, they are disembodied spirits, those who were cast out of heaven with Satan who became his angels. They may at times visit a person if they see that that person has taken upon himself the name of Christ, and are thought to be a threat to their cause. that of bringing all men over to the dark side.

What are the type of gloves do a usher at Baptist church wears?
I do not believe there is any standard that ushers in Baptist churches wear gloves. I have not seen ushers wear gloves except in black churches.
What other Pentecostal churches are there besides the Assemblies of God?
Wow...many...in the U.S., there is the Church of God, based out of Cleveland, Tennessee. It is a Pentecostal denomination, with beliefs almost identical to the Assemblies of God. Worldwide, however, the COG is much smaller, with about 8 million members. The Assemblies has broken the 60 million mark in terms of worldwide constituents.
There is also the predominantly African-American Pentecostal denomination called the Church of God in Christ. Their polity is more formal. I know they have a Presiding Bishop. Also, their area bishops wear vestments, similar to the Roman Catholic or Anglican traditions. However, they are definitely Pentecostal at their very core.
There are also a number of smaller, Trinitarian Pentecostal groups for which there isn't room to mention here. Also, it should be noted that their are Pentecostals called "Oneness" Pentecostals. This was considered a heresy in the early days of the Assemblies of God. The "oneness" theology denies the concept of the Trinity as being a pagan concept, and believes that individuals must be baptized "in the name of Jesus Christ only" AND speak in tongues (baptism in the Holy Spirit") in order to have a hope of Heaven. Trinitarian Pentecostals (the Assemblies, the COG, and COGIC) would denounce this concept, stating that the only requirement for justification for Heaven is repentance and acceptance of Jesus as personal Lord and Savior.
Sorry if this answer is too long, but I hope it helps!
What does it mean to live holy?
Christian Living is simply the living of one's life by following the guildelines set out in the Bible.
