Does the United Pentecostal Church believe in Arianism?
The doctrine of the "Trinity" was debated and finally confirmed at the Council of Nicea (325). From what I gather from my United Pentecostal friends is that they reject this common Christian doctrine, rather believing in the "oneness" doctrine. This comes from the statement by Jesus saying "I and the Father are one." They are adamant about the divinity of Jesus though and quite much so. Therefore I would say that they do not have an Arian-based belief system, only one that they believe was based on a pre-Nicean Christian belief. The Arians believed that Christ was "the firstborn" (see St Paul's writings), so naturally this type of Christology would be derived. So again, no. The UPC are adamant supporters of the divinity of Jesus, not his subjugation neither creation by God and therefore, not Arianists.
In Hosea 1v2 did God tempt Hosea with evil by making him marry Gomer?
No. Gomer represents the spiritual adultery of Israel.
When did the Union Assembly Church of God change its rules?
In 1990. They made a whole new set of rules, after years and years of preaching and condemning that women wearing pants, cutting their hair, going to movies, going to ball games was wrong and they would go to hell for it. And stating that these beliefs were all based upon what the Bible taught.
Then in 1990, they changed every rule. Jesse F. Pratt Jr was the overseer for many years and he is the one that decided to make the changes. One of the biggest religious cults I've ever witnessed, with as much corruption and dishonesty as you will ever find. Poor people that were brainwashed and taken for almost everything they owned, as they were taught that church was the only way to heaven.
Heck no he's not gay! Why is it that every single man has to be gay or an undercover whore? There may be some who are, but some people genuinely want to live right, and can do so by the power of the holy ghost. Even if he has a lot of homo's in his church, they need to be saved too! If we've gotten to the point where we believe that God can save a person from anything but that, then what kind of gospel are we preaching???
No. The Potter's House headed by Wayman Mitchell is not a cult. The Potter's House also goes by the names The Door, Victory Chapel and The Light House. All of these churches are part of CMF or Christian Fellowship Ministries.
CFM follows mainstream Pentecostal theology, beliefs and practices. Modern uses of the word cult do not match CFM since it does not have non-Biblical beliefs and fully respects an individual's decisions through active leadership based on service not control.
Another viewPotter's House (CFM) is without a doubt, a dangerous "bible-based" cult. I lost over 10 years of my life in PH. My humble advice for anyone and everyone would be to avoid this group at all costs.
What is the pentecostal form of exorcism called?
Some may term the pentecostal form of exorcism casting out the devil.
Who expelled everyone from the church?
The only story I can think of is of Jesus going into Jerusalem and entering the "Temple". Mark 11:15-17 read:
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
What is the Bible that apostolic pentecostal study?
I am Apostolic Pentecostal and I use the Authorized King James version of the bible. I know of other Apostolic Pentecostal churches that also use this version of the bible as well.
If you are referring to the church, formerly known as the Joplin Church of God at 1402 Michigan Ave. The answer is nothing. It is a local church of the Church of God (Cleveland, TN).

When was Bishop Charles Blake elected Presiding Bishop of the COGIC?
When Bishop G.E. Patterson (his predecessor) died on March 20, 2007, Bishop Blake assumed the office of Presiding Bishop. But then in November of 2008, he was formally elected as Presiding Bishop of the Church of God in Christ, therefore succeeding Bishop Patterson as the presiding bishop. So, in a short answer, he was elected in November of 2008.
How do you know if you are called to be a missionary?
You need to pray and have a direct communication and fellowship with God and ask him to lead you to where he wants you to be, and tell him that u allow his will to b done in your life and ask him if being a Missionary is what he wants you to do. If after that prayer somehow you hear of a new mission trip that a youth group is goin for and iz sumthing u are able to do it could be a sign so just look for things like that, usually if u start to have a passion for spreading the gospel that could b a heads up.
i would think gospel in the biblical sense means book ...as in who was the author...each author writes their version,book,gospel of the life of Jesus...there was no written word for 80 years after Christ transcended to heaven...the Bible was spread first by word of mouth, so then the gospels started and were compiled later...gospel must mean story/book...this is my thought...not sure it is remotely connected to fact, other than the bible was not written down for 80 or so years after Christ was on Earth. Jesus was his name, Christ means light...we combined the two...
AnswerIn correction of the above, the word 'Gospel' means 'Good News'. Thus, the 'good News as told by Matthew,....' etc.Each author of each account were writing their account of Jesus' life and ministry from a particular point of view. Mark was the first to be written - in around AD 60 or so (just 30 years or so after the ascension and not 80 as stated above). Marks gospel reads like a news report - in great haste and dynamic. It was as if he was getting everything down before being persecurted by the Romans. Possibly next was the account written by Luke - the only author who never met Jesus but who was a friend of the first missionary, Paul. Luke's gospel and his second book, the Acts of the Apostles, were written, most likely, whils on the voyages across the churches in the Mediterranean - between 60 - 80AD, although some scholars believe that it may well have been earlier. Luke got most of his material from Peter, the leader of the disciples and Mary, Jesus' mother. As a doctor, Luke was interested in many healing miracles of Jesus, and was also interested in forgiveness. Matthew's account was written from the Jewish outlook - he frequently included quotes from the prophetic scriptures in the Old Testament in order that the Jews to whom he was writing would believe that Jesus was, indeed, the messiah whom they had been waiting for. Finally John in his gospel (which was likely to be the last written - around AD 80 - 90) makes it quite clear why he wrote it - 'so that you too can believe' and he concentrates on the divinity of Jesus. In John's gospel Jesus does not perform 'miracles' - John, instead, calls them 'signs' - pointing to Christ's divinity.
Much of Mark's gospel is found in Matthew and Luke suggesting that these authors used marks gospel as a starting point when writing their own, fuelling the theory that Mark's account was the oldest. Matthew and Luke also have great chunks that are identical, but differ from both each other and Mark's gospel. Scholars have suggested that these passages come from another gospel account that they have nicknamed 'Q' (for 'Quelle?' = who?') but which has long been lost.
Other accounts have also been written - the 'gospel of Thomas' the 'gospel' of Mary and so on, but the earliest that these have been authenticated is several hundred years after Christ, and therefore, as such, must be regarded with some suspicion, as they were possibly written by sects that grew up around then that had a skewed picture of Jesus' life and minisry.
Finally, Jesus means 'he who saves' and not as above. 'Christ' is another name for 'Saviour' or the Jewish Messiah. The term 'Christ' is not Jesus's name but his title - in other words, 'Jesus, the messiah'. Another name used by him was Emmanuel = 'God with us'.
Another clarification:The Greek "Christ" and Hebrew "Messiah" both mean "anointed," identifying Jesus as God's chosen One.How do they suffocate when being crucified?
The victim's wrists were either tied or nailed to a cross-bar and the ankles were usually nailed to the stem of the cross. While the victim supported his weight on his feet, he could breathe, but if he tired and allowed his weight to hang from his wrists, he found he could not breathe, so that eventually he would raise himself up into the more painful position of resting on the nail through the ankles.
After many hours of suffering, the victim would eventually no longer have the strength to raise himself and would hang from the wrists until suffocated. The three hours that Jesus was supposed to have hung is particularly short, so the evangelists had Pilate express appropriate surprise.
If for any reason, the Romans wished to end the crucifixion, they would break the victim's legs so that he could no longer take his weight on his legs and ankles. This was known to the author of John's Gospel, who described the technique in John 19:32-33.
Why cant pentecostal women wear jewelry?
First as a Pentecostal pastor, let me state that NOT all Pentecostal denominations holds to this teaching. Just like the Baptists, there are different denominations with-in the umbrella word of Pentecostals.
For example : Assemblies of God,
Church of God,
Foursquare,
Church of God of Prophecy,
Church of God in Christ,
Apostolic,
Holiness,
etc.
Those who are Pentecostal and adhere to this idea also adhere to the idea of not cutting their hair and use 1 Corinthians 11:3-15 as their reasoning. However, there is a great debate about how those very few scriptures are to be interpreted. For a better understanding on the debate Google "1 Corin. 11:3-5 debate among Pentecostals".
But there is a HUGE difference in beliefs when it comes to pants, make up, jewelry, and hair cutting between Pentecostals and Holiness Pentecostals. To get a better understanding between the two, I would HIGHLY suggest a Google search on "The differences between Pentecostals and Holiness Pentecostals"
In the bible in 1 Timothy 2:9 it says "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array." Some Pentecostal denominations believe that wearing jewelry goes against that verse.
So I will end it with this, MOST Pentecostal denominations DO allow wearing of pants and not just dresses for women. Those who don't are a small portion of the Pentecostal group. Some that do NOT allow wearing of pants but only dresses, are the Holiness and Apostolic.
Do good spirits also exist and if they do what is their main cause of existence?

Do pentecostals perform confirmations?
Generally speaking, pentecostals do not perform confirmations.
Is there any were in the bible that call Jesus reverend?

Who are the important people in the pentecostal church?
