Canadian citizen worked in US What is elligibility to apply for Social Seccurity payments?
If the Canadian was a legal employee (had a green card), and their wages were reported by the employer on Form 941, their eligibility is the same as a US citizen. To be eligible for benefits, you must earn 40 "credits". You can earn up to 4 credits per year; you receive 1 credit for each $1,000 of wages. So, as long as the Canadian earned at least $4,000 per year for ten years, they can apply for retirement benefits. You can apply early and receive reduced benefits starting at age 62; or receive full benefits if you apply at your retirement age - between 65 and 67 depending on your date of birth.

Do pentecostals take medicine?
Some Pentecostal denominations/groups do not believe in taking medicine, and some do. Not all of them have the same belief about the use of medicine.
I suppose that any church which opens its doors to all people, no matter what their color or creed can be regarded as a Universal Church. Usually a church with such a name can also come about by certain governments who tell the people which church they are to belong to. I understand that this is the aim of a One World Government.

How does the Holy Spirit help in resisting temptation?
The Holy Spirit can bring all things to our remembrance, so one way he can help is by reminding us of things, like the serious consequences of sin, of our love for God, or of reasons that we don't want to get involved with certain habits. Also, he can give us general feelings like a feeling that this or that is a bad place to go or a bad thing to do. Learning to recognize those feelings and distinguish when God is trying to tell us something from when we have our own thoughts or feelings is part of learning to know God.
Why were the Pentecostals started as a Christian community?
They started because they want the fullness of what Elohim has for us. and in the main stream church the gifts of YWYH seem to have gotten lost and when the out pouring happened in the early 1900s there was no churches to go to so they had to build the community, so they could worship has the Holy Spirit leds. Beliefs There are two large streams of Pentecostal churches. The majority believe that one must be saved by believing in Jesus as Lord and Savior for the forgiveness of sins and to be made acceptable to God. Pentecostals also typically believe, like most other evangelicals, that the Bible has definitive authority in matters of faith. To this first group, speaking in tongues is the sign of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, but isn't necessary for salvation. The other group emphasize an "Acts 2:38" based salvation message which says that a person needs to repent and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, and then receive the Holy Spirit. Receiving the Holy Spirit is necessary for salvation but is not accompanied by speaking in tongues. Of the Acts 2:38 based churches, they fall into four categories of "Jesus Name", "First", "United" or "Oneness" Pentecostals which baptize in Jesus name only, and those that baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit "Matthew 28:19". Also, pentecostals have different views on the idea of what tongues actually means. Some believe tongues is a prayer language in which they themselves do not understand what they are saying. Others believe tongues is an actual language and the ability to speak the misteries of God unto the unsaved using their language. In both views the ability to speak and the ability to interpret are separate gifts. One may be able to speak in a certain language but will lack the ability to interpret any other language they have not been gifted with the understanding to speak. Both generally believe there must be an interpreter present so the listeners will understand when a different language, or tongue, is spoken unto them. Because many Pentecostal denominations are descended from Methodism and the Methodist Holiness Movement, Pentecostal soteriology is generally Arminian rather than Calvinist. The Pentecostal movement finds its historic roots in the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles, California, USA from 1904 to 1906. Several years earlier, in 1901, Bible college students at a school founded by Charles Parham in Topeka, Kansas prayed to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues (other languages). Parham moved to Houston, Texas, where in spite of segregation, William Seymore, a one-eyed African-American preacher was allowed to listen in to the Bible classes. Seymore went to Los Angeles, where his preaching helped spark the fires of the Azusa Street revival. Most Pentecostal demoninations can trace their roots to the Azusa Street revival or were strongly influenced by it. Oneness Pentecostalism traces its roots to the The World-Wide Apostolic Camp Meeting in April 1913 where one of the preachers started teaching Oneness doctrine. In the late 1960s and early 1970s Christians from mainline churches in the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world began to accept the teaching that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is available for Christians today. Charismatic movements began to grow in mainline denominations. There were Charismatics Episcopalians, Lutherans, Catholics, and Methodists. During that time period, 'Charismatic' was used to refer to these movements that existed within mainline denominations. Pentecostal was used to refer to those who were a part of the churches and denominations that grew out of the earlier Azusa Street revival. However, in recent decades, many independent Charismatic churches and ministries have formed or have developed their own denominations and church associations. In the 1960s, many Pentecostal churches were still strict with dress codes and forbidding certain forms of entertainment, creating a cultural distinction between Charismatics and Pentecostals. Nowadays, many Pentecostal churches put little emphases on dress and entertainment issues. There is a great deal of overlap now between the Charismatic and Pentecostal movements. Trinitarian Pentecostals typically believe in water baptism as an outward sign of conversion and that the baptism in the Holy Ghost is a distinct spiritual experience that all who have belief in Jesus should receive. Most classical Pentecostals believe that the baptism in the Holy Ghost is always accompanied initially by the outward evidence of speaking in tongues. It is considered a liberalizing tendency to teach contrary to this historic position. This is another major difference between Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians, who believe that a Christian baptized in the Holy Ghost may exhibit certain supernatural signs, including speaking in tongues, "being slain in the spirit" (where people fall to the ground as if asleep ), prophecy (i.e., a vision or a word of God, spoken or felt in the spirit), miraculous healings, miraculous signs, etc.

Then he took baptism in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost in the Indian
Pentecost. There was no blessing. Then he wrote a letter to me... So he came to our house. He took baptism, filled with the Holy Ghost, came to the ministry. Jeevanandam same way. Rose Pandian same way. Then bishops, collectors, Mr. Sundar Clarke, all these people God blessed." November 14, 1981 (Bombay - Day 4) - R. Paulaseer Lawrie
