What percentage of the world are born again Christians?
Considering how many parallels there are with humans and angels, and there are many, I would say that as many as 2/3 of the population could be Christian. I say that because God allowed 1/3 of the angels to side with Satan, with God keeping 2/3 of them. This definitely not for sure, but it is REALLY TOUGH TO TELL, regardless of what resources we have, as other than the Bible and its hints to this, there isn't much material to go on.
Again, I would highly doubt that even Satan could win in this department, with the millions of underground churches/believers in china and other countries.
I'm sorry to report that the above answer is really not that accurate. Studies confirm that only 1/3 of the world's population identify themselves as Christian. This includes a vast number who are 'cultural Christians', that is, people who are Christians because it is part of their culture or tradition but who do not read or follow the teachings in the Bible nor have ever done what is prescribed in Scripture that which is necessary to become "born again." The Barna Group, a polling company that tracks such things with precision, estimates that while 83% of Americans identify as Christian, only 17% have done what is necessary to fulfill the Biblical mandate to qualify as "born again." I can only believe that since America is the most "Christian" nation on earth, that the percentages can't be better worldwide. In nations which are 99% Buddhist, Islamic, Jainist, Shinto or express tribal religions I can't believe you can translate American Christian numbers over to them with fidelity.

In COGIC is the pastor a member of the Trustee Board?
My response is yes.
Although I have not found no official word from the COGIC I base my answer on other factors that is known to the COGIC.
The Pastor is the Chief Executive officer of the local church. The final decision on all matters of the church end with the Pastor.
The Pastor is the visionary of the church and the business of the church is directly associated with that vision and thus the Pastor needs to be included on all business of the church.
The Pastor is the chairperson and a voting member of the trustee board.
The trustee board member is the pastor's advisor and prayer partner, a loyal supporter of the pastor, assisting in fulfilling the vision and goals God has given the Pastor for the church.
The question makes me wonder if the board is wanting to gain an advantage and control over the pastor.
It can also to be said that the pastor might have to much control.
The truth is the pastor has that control and should lead with humility and direction from God.
Every pastor needs the support of the members and every part of the ministry working in harmony.
I pray this response helps you with your most sincere question.
God Bless
Difference between baptist church and foursquare church?
I think the baptist are more solemn in their way of worship but some are not believing/embracing the ministry of the Holy Spirit such as speaking in tongues, prophecying, the workings of miracles....the ministry of the Holy Spirit particularly in the gifts of the Spirit as mentioned in 1 Cor. 12 & 14!
---------------------------------------------------------
I'm not a Baptist, but my best friend is and she wants me to fix what is said above.
They do believe in miracles, for a miracle happened with her grandfather in South America.
Different Baptists have they're own opinions about speaking in tongues some believe it's fake, and other believe that it's real since it is mentioned in the Bible.
They do so believe in prophesying, they very much believe it.
The difference between the two churches, they're non. I'm a Foursquare myself, and I have many friend from every Christian church and they have no difference between them. Because they have the same faith, they read the same Bible, and they believe in the same things. The domination doesn't matter.

What did Peter address when he preached Acts 2 37-39?
The people were confused when they began to hear the apostles speak in different languages, they conclude that the apostles were drunk. but Apostle Peter had to step up and correct them reminding them of the prophecy from Joel how God will pour out his spirit upon all flesh and how every one both young and old, either male or female will manifest one particular gift of the spirit or the other.
Apostle Peter is therefore letting them know that they too can manifest such gifts of the spirit by first repenting from their sin and being baptize. search for peteradinoyi youtube channel to learn more about other prophecy in God's word that can positively transform your life.
How do you simply teach the bible?
Ah! Now there is a challenge. A book with parts written by many different people, over a period of centuries, perhaps with a number of internal contradictions (depending on your opinion), and a whole passal of different interpretations that different people have of many different biblical passages. That makes the subject pretty complicated. I think the only way you can "simply teach" it is to teach your interpretations and ignore everybody else's.
Biblical meaning of judgment of man?
I Corinthians 4:3 “But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.”
When translated word-for-word, the word “judgment” is the word “day.” From God's viewpoint, the age of Grace in which we live is very brief. Today, man passes judgment and sentences; he directs the policy. Man does sit in judgment, but only for a brief period.
Where can you find a bible quote the eagle will fall?
Try the following verses.
A mind intending to decieve could ignore the fact that this was aimed at Edom (A nation which ceased to exist as a settled state with the Jewish-Roman Wars ) and pretend it was intended to represent the USA today based on aloose equivalence of eale with the American Eagle symbol.
Obadiah 1 1 This is the vision that the Sovereign LORD revealed to Obadiah concerning the land of Edom. We have heard a message from the LORD that an ambassador was sent to the nations to say, "Get ready, everyone! Let's assemble our armies and attack Edom!"
2 The LORD says, "I will cut you down to size among the nations, Edom; you will be small and despised.
3 You are proud because you live in a rock fortress and make your home high in the mountains. `Who can ever reach us way up here?' you ask boastfully. Don't fool yourselves!
4 Though you soar as high as eagles and build your nest among the stars, I will bring you crashing down. I, the LORD, have spoken!
Why is a sermon that is an example more effective than a sermon that is instructional?
A sermon that is an example is more effective because it allows the listeners to see the principles or teachings in action. It brings the message to life and makes it relatable. On the other hand, an instructional sermon can be more theoretical and may not have the same impact or engagement with the audience.
What is a 1861 King James Version Holy Bible worth?
Quiet a bit, but it's vaule may decrease based on it's condition, and my increase due to the language it's in, where it was published, who it used to belong to, etc. sorry don't know the exact valuse, but I would say at the least 5 figures
I am sorry to dispute what the above person answered but the value of Bibles is very minimal, approx. $20 if in good condition.
Is there an Assemblies of God church in Cairo?
I located the link below at the AG site...and it contains the following info:
Emil Boktor pastors Sharabia A/G in the capital city of Cairo that ministers weekly to more than 5,000 people and is the second-largest evangelical church in the Arab world. People sit on the platform, crowd the aisles and line the stairs that lead to a packed overflow room where the service is projected on a large screen. The congregation is saving funds for the purchase of land next to the church property, where they plan to build a larger sanctuary. Two years ago, they could not even have begun this process.
How does Israel celebrate Easter?
A number of Christian rituals have roots in Jewish traditions. The celebration of the Jewish festival of Passover, which commemorates the exodus of Jews from captivity in Egypt, has been mixed with Easter from the beginning and the Hebrew word Pesach, originally meaning Passover, came to mean Easter as well.
Christian worshippers from all over the world gather in the Holy Land of Jerusalem for Easter celebration. Pilgrims congregate for an Easter sunrise service at the Garden tomb in Jerusalem. Easter mass is celebrated at the ancient Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem's walled Old City. Priests and monks chant the liturgy, as incense rises above the tomb where Christians believe Jesus rose from the dead.
In mainland Israel, orthodox Jews celebrate the Passover while Messianic Jews celebrate Easter like the rest of the Christians around the world. The different celebrations arise from the fact that Orthodox Jews do not accept Jesus Christ to be the Messiah sent from God, and therefore they do not celebrate his Crucifixion or his return from death.
During Easter many processions are held in Israel where groups travel the route of Jesus Christ's journey to Golgotha. The route is referred to as the Twelve Stations of the Cross.
How long did the children of Israel live in Egypt?
In Genesis 15:13, when God made His covenant with Abram, He told him, "You can be sure that your descendants will be strangers in a foreign land, and they will be oppressed as slaves for four hundred years." But some scholars believe it was actually 480 years.
Do Pentecostals believe in listening to music?
Yes, definitely. There may be some that don't but most do. But many Pentecostals do not believe in listening to any music that isn't about God, so they don't listen to country or rock or rap or anything like that. Again, not all Pentecostals believe that way, but many do.

It's said the Co-founder of Trinity Broadcasting Network TBN did file for Divorce in 2010. The quote was stated as: Janice Crouch filed for the divorce of her estranged husband Paul Franklin Crouch ...which might explain why Jan lives in Florida. Janice Crouch, Vice-President, currently earns $361,000 from TBN so long as she continues to appear on broadcasts.
Founder Paul Crouch remains living in California. It's claimed Paul Crouch Sr. is not a stranger to the legal system and has been involved in more than one legal settlement. One of which a very popular case --despite everything held in low key:
A 1998 scandal which involved Paul Crouch Founder of TBN in an alleged gay relation. The network, little known outside fundamentalist Christian circles, was buffeted by unwanted publicity when it surfaced from the The Times that Crouch had paid a former employee Enoch Lonnie Ford $425,000 to keep silent about an alleged homosexual tryst. case numbers: 04CC05609, 01CF0559, Solano Courts case number: FCM107776 San Bernardino County: M618996.
This would certainly explain what brought about the 2010 Divorce. Janice and Paul project the image of a happily married couple. But off the air, they lead separate lives and almost never stay under the same roof, sleeping in separate bedrooms according to former TBN employees and others who have spent time with the couple.
(On a personal Note: This such a shame because I thought the world of those folks. Such a tragedy. But when you embezzle money laundering Gods money ...expect this punishment).
Other Information: about TBN ...another Legal case was filed by former head of finance TBN which filed these first set of charges.

Paul Crouch Jr. abruptly resigned OCT 10 2011 from Trinity Broadcasting Network to keep his name clear.
Then The Big Headlines hit the Public with this one !
A second legal charge has been filed by TBN's Paul and Jan Crouch's - Granddaughter which is Suing for Unlawful Distribution of 'Charitable Assets'
Posted on February 10, 2012
It appears that Paul and Jan Crouch, founders of TV empire Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) need to keep their friends close, and their enemies even closer - especially if that enemy is one of their grandchildren.
An article in the Christian Post reveals that Brittany B. Koper, granddaughter of Paul and Jan Crouch, is suing her former attorneys for "breach of duties, inflicting emotional distress and professional negligence." Apparently the attorneys advised her to help cover up financial abuse and fraud at TBN.
After Koper took charge of TBN's finance department, she allegedly discovered illegal financial practices on the part of the company's directors, but was told to protect the information.
"Following her appointment, Ms. Koper was specifically instructed to falsify public financial disclosures, to falsify government records, and to otherwise cover up conduct of the TBN Companies and their directors that Ms. Koper reasonably believed to be unlawful," the suit claims.
None of this is surprising, but if the allegations are true, it's going to be hard for a lot of people to turn a deaf ear to someone as close to the family as a grandchild. Many will still defend them and claim this attack is from the devil, however, it doesn't sound like Roper set out on this course empty handed. It appears she has some leverage:
Her attorney, MacLeod, also told the OC Register that Koper is preparing a package of documents regarding her charges that she will submit to the Internal Revenue Service for review.
It looks like she took evidence of the fraud with her when she left. Now, this should get very, very interesting.

Who is the Archangel Raphael in the Bible?
The Book of Tobit tells the story of a righteous Israelite of the Tribe of Naphtali named Tobit living in Nineveh after the deportation of the northern tribes of Israel to Assyria in 721 BC under Sargon II. (The first two and a half chapters are written in the first person.) He was particularly noted for his diligence in attempting to provide proper burials for fallen Israelites who had been slain by Sennacherib, for which the king seized all his property and exiled him. After Sennacherib's death, he was allowed to return to Nineveh, but again buried a dead man who had been murdered on the street. That night, he slept in the open and was blinded by bird droppings that fell in his eyes. This put a strain on his marriage, and ultimately, he prayed for death. Meanwhile, in faraway Media, a young woman named Sarah prays for death in despair. She has lost seven husbands to the demon of lust -- Ashmodai who abducts and kills every man she marries on their wedding night before the marriage can be consummated. God sends the angel Raphael, disguised as a human, to heal Tobit and to free Sarah from the demon. The main narrative is dedicated to Tobit's son, Tobiah or Tobiyah (Greek: Τωβίας/ Tobias), who is sent by his father to collect a sum of money that the latter had deposited some time previously in the far off land of Media. Raphael represents himself as Tobit's kinsman Azariah, and offers to aid and protect Tobias on his journey. Under the guidance of Raphael, Tobias makes the journey to Media, accompanied by his dog. Along the way, he is attacked by a giant fish, whose heart, liver and gall bladder are removed to make medicines. Upon arriving in Media, Raphael tells Tobias of the beautiful Sarah, whom Tobias has the right to marry, because she is related to his tribe. He instructs the young man to burn the fish's liver and heart to drive away the demon when he attacks on the wedding night. The two are married, and the fumes of the burning organs drive the demon away to Upper Egypt, while Raphael follows him and binds him. Meanwhile, Sarah's father has been digging a grave to secretly bury Tobias (who he assumes will be dead). Surprised to find his son-in-law alive and well, he orders a double-length wedding feast and has the grave secretly filled. Since he cannot leave because of the feast, Tobias sends Raphael to recover his father's money. After the feast, Tobias and Sarah return to Nineveh. There, Raphael tells the youth to use the fish's gall to cure his father's blindness. Raphael then reveals his true identity and returns to heaven. Tobit sings a hymn of praise. He tells his son to leave Nineveh before God destroys it according to prophecy. After the prayer, Tobit dies at an advanced age.[2] After burying his father, Tobias returns to Media with his family.
What happened between Juanita Bynum and her husband?
who cares why they are seperated. If people would consentrate more on their own issues instead of the issues of others, "things" in your own life would clear up and work themselves out a WHOLE lot faster. Let them woman be in peace. She is no God....She is only human! Touhc NOT mine anointed and do my prophets no harm. IF there was anything at all wrong, WHY would anyone think it was alright to toucht his womans life with their mouth....?!?That's a dangerous thing to do.....
