Bible Question (short): What Pentecostal am I? |
Question (full): I was born and raised in a Full Gospel Church. Everyone in that church was Pentecostal, my family is Pentecostal, and I have always been told I am Pentecostal. I am recently attending a church that is "Assemblies of God." There are so many different kinds of Pentecostals that I get mixed up and dont know which one I belong to. I know I'm not United Pentecostal. I have been told that I am "Church of God" Pentecostal. I have read that the "Church of God" excludes costly clothes, cosmetics, and women wearing shorts or slacks. However, I wear all three and dont agree with that. From reading about "Assemblies of God" Petecostal it seems about right for me. But I cannot be sure. I believe in the trinity and I believe in speaking in tongues. But some Pentecostals believe if you dont speak in tongues and you are not baptised then you cannot be saved and make it to heaven. I believe a person may have the GIFT of speaking in tongues, but I dont believe you MUST speak in tongues in order to be saved. I dont know much about baptism so I cant comment on that. Some Pentecostals dont believe in the trinity and some do. I am one of those who do believe in the trinity. I know this is a lot, but I'm very confused with what denomination I belong to. Pentecostal seems right, but I would like to know exactly what type of Pentecostal I am. If you could give me any information I would highly appreciate it. Thank you. |
