Bible Question: Who are the Pentecostals, what beliefs characterize them, and are Pentecostals and Charismatics the same? --Hank |
Bible Answer: I'm a Penetecostal in as much as I believe in what happened at Pentecost is still pertinent and necessary to today's Christian life. For one to be made perfect in God and do that which God purposes in our life i.e., become a son unto Him, the power to do so must come from the outside. Read Acts 1 [the whole chapter] if you're just saved. See where the Lord gives instructions to the disciples [who are born again in John 20] then make some comparisons with what I've posted below. Now Ref. with Ezekiel 44:17 (NASB) "And it shall be that when they enter at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and wool shall not be on them while they are ministering in the gates of the inner court and in the house. Because: Ezekiel 44:18 (NASB) "....... they shall not gird themselves with anything which makes them sweat. In other words God won't tolerate our self effort [represented here by "wool"] mingled with His Holy Spirit activity [Linen]. Oil burning here and not wick burning. Now what does Acts 1 say about being "clothed/Endued"? |
