Bible Question: One family member of mine I feel strongly wants me to be a Baptist, but my heart and soul is walking in the path of Pentecostal. Is there a big difference between the two, and will it hurt that family member? |
Bible Answer: Does doctrine (teaching) make a difference? Yes. Does it matter what you believe? Yes. However, the differences between Southern Baptist and Assemblies of God beliefs are few. The major differences are: Baptists believe in eternal security. The Assemblies of God do not. The Assemblies of God believe the gift of tongues is in operation today. Many baptists do not. There are other differences, but these are the two big ones. Also, there are varieties of Pentecostal churches. All Pentecostal churches are not the same and do not believe the same on everything. When you say the path of Pentecostal, which Pentecostal group do you mean? For example, the United Pentecostal Church has doctrines that one needs to beware of. Grace to you, Kalos |
