I grew up in a traditional Protestant church in Eastern NC. Nothing I was instructed in there, or experienced, changed me or my life. In my teens I did confess Jesus as my Savior, and was baptized...but lived no differently after than before. It was only when Jesus baptized me in His Holy Spirit 6 years later that His Word came alive to me and the power to live as a Christian entered my life. That was some 45 years ago..still walking, learning, and loving with Father, Son and Holy Spirit as a Charismatic Christian. Enjoyed your video...I appreciate your balanced presentation, thank you.
What does babtized in the Holy Spirit mean I’m an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian I know what that means but I don’t get what it contributes to your Christian life
Eyosias Mesfin Read Acts chapter 2. These signs shall follow those who believe. Ask and you shall receive. See what Jesus said in Luke 11. Hunger and thirst after righteousness and believe . The Holy Spirit wants to fill you. It was after the disciples received the infilling of the Spirit that the church was born and Peter was given spiritual boldness he did not have before. It happened on the day of Pentecost.
@@gordonfalconer9108 don't we receive that at babtisim? Didn't the Christians after that receive all this at baptism? I'm trusting for Christ a lot but can you explain it a bit to nake it more clear
@@Avzigoyhbasilsikos Read John 20:22, "He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit." I recognize this as the moment when the disciples actually experienced being born again. This could not happen until after Jesus' resurrection, and is the work of the Holy Spirit (see Titus 3:5). All persons who experience being born again do receive the Holy Spirit, as one can not be born again without His work. However, they were not baptized in the Holy Spirit until the day of Pentecost, when they received the power and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. You can see this pattern also in Acts 8 where many in Samaria believed in Jesus and were baptized in His Name...but...they did not receive the infilling (baptism) of the Holy Spirit until some days later when Peter and John arrived, and laid their hands on them. Scripture clearly teaches in both instances that the baptism (infilling of the fullness of the power and the gifts of the Holy Spirit) is a separate experience from being born again. As regards "emotionalism": Jesus was emotional. The Word is filled with many examples of people becoming emotional when the Presence of the Holy Spirit is upon them. Do some people over do it? Sure. Any behavior can be learned and then imitated. But the fact that there are some who have learned to over-do emotionalism from their peers is not a reason to ignore the teaching of Scripture on the Holy Spirit, His gifts, His power, His joy. God bless you, may you find an ever increasing revelation of your blessings in Jesus Christ our Lord. Happy Easter!
Man, I really appreciate your heart and this lecture! God bless you. Thank you for addressing this topic with so much grace and humility. When so many online will just bash the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement without any regard for their fellow believer. I grew up in a Pen church, and I’ll be the first to admit these churches can have faults. No one individual,church, or tradition is perfect. But I still see a great deal of potential in it. Growth takes time, correcting outdated customs takes time, spiritual maturity takes time.

Look, got to convert to some other denominations like Lutheran or evangelical or something. Pentecosts is a false church and false people it's Satan's work and they are his childrens because they are not based on the true gospel of god they are liers.
One reason for the Pentecostal label is that they believe the model for a church service is the first one described in Acts, which of course fell on Pentecost.
It's curious that he can lecture on Pentecostalism and not mention Charles Parham and his school. Seymour studied with Parham and went to Azusa in 1906 but there was Pentecostal revivals happening in OK and TX and other places before Azusa. From Azusa and from Parham's school missionaries went to Africa and South America among other places. The beginning of the classical Pentecostal movement certainly has antecedents but its starting date is 12am January 1 1901 when a young woman at Parham's school began speaking with tongues as the spirit gave utterance after weeks of intense study and prayer by all the students at the school. Just a thought rooted in my academic training. I attended a Pentecostal ministerial school and a United Church of Christ Seminary. Many Pentecostal denominations require education. The denomination I trained in required training. The UPC, Assemblies of God and Church of God (Cleveland) have seminaries. To say "all it takes is the Holy Spirit" is not really the case. Even in the early days training schools were held and ministers were expected to have some training. The validity and power of their ministry came from the experience with the Holy Ghost. Interestingly, Seymour had training when he headed out to Azusa but not a fullness of the Holy Ghost. The Charismatic movement and Neo-Pentecostalism share a lineage from Classical Pentecostalism but are significantly different. Being slain in the spirit is a Neo-Pentecostal term and Benny Hinn is a huckster not a Pentecostal. Conflating Pentecostalism with the prosperity movement is too facile and misleading. One of the most interesting issues in the roots of the Pentecostal movement is the early split over the nature of God. Some groups held to Trinitarian theology; others understood the nature of God as rooted in the Sh'ma. They arrived at a position similar to Modal Monarchialism but significantly different. The Oneness believers are not modalists and reject Trinitarian theology while maintaining belief in in the Divinity of Jesus. Baptism in (not with) the Holy Ghost.

Being a missionary is a great responsibility! The missionary must have great energy, fortitude, and courage. Wherever the missionary goes, no matter what part of the world he or she is in, he or she must spread the Word. Locals must understand what the missionary is telling them. The missionary must get the Word right! Therefore, every missionary must know the language of the local people! To everyone who is going on a mission or preparing for one, I would like to recommend a very good workshop by Yury Ivantsiv Polyglot Notes: Practical Tips for Learning Foreign Language. This wonderful book will give you answers how to properly learn a foreign language with a minimum of your time and effort. This book gives answers to many of the questions that everyone faces when learning a language. I wish you good luck in your important work!
First, it is NOT a tradition. It is doctrine. The original early church started as Pentecostals. They spoke in tongues so it is not an emerging tradition. It is the original church. Pentecostalism is NOT a movement. It is the original doctrinal and Biblical experience of the church. There are no fuzzy boundaries. If you receive the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues...you are pentecostal. Since the Holy Ghost was first given on the day of Pentecost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues then those who speak in tongues are Pentecostal. No fuzzy boundaries there. Mark 16 tells us that those who are believers SHALL speak in tongues. If you are not speaking in tongues you are not a believer. Pentecostalism did not begin in 1906. It started around 33 A.D. There is only ONE phase to Pentecostalism...from 33 A.D. to present. Salvation is a life long journey. The entrance to the beginning of salvation is repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. This video does not represent the true beliefs of Pentecostalism doctrine of salvation. Speaking in tongues, divine healing, miracles and wonders ARE part of the normal believer's life. Mark 16 again says these signs SHALL follow them that believe... Pentecostalism grows because people are tired of dead, dull, dry, boring church. Powerless churches are dying churches. Jesus said He would give us life and that much more abundantly. Education is required for credentialing ministers. It moves easily across cultures because the plan of salvation is for EVERYONE. Where does this guy think most pentecostals are poor? The references to the countries he mentions being poor are the smallest populations of Pentecostalism. Joy is part of our life...not happiness. The joy of the LORD is my strength. It is joy unspeakable and full of glory.
@@josejuan6585 somehow I agree with you because speaking in tongues and miracles have happened in the early Christian Church that's why they can't be called heretics because heretics are the ones which create their own sets of beliefs and teachings but since these things have happened to the early Christians so in this sense they aren't generating any new doctrines but instead are reviving the original ones
Why in the world don't you consider Pentecostals Protestants. Pentecostalism is a movement not another type of Christianity. There are only three major types of Christianity: Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant.
Actually only one type of Christian. That is one that has a personal relationship with GOD through Jesus Christ. Organizations and structures may vary and be very different, but it is still one Lord, one faith, and one baptism ( in or of The Holy Spirit). That is why there is an universality to the Christian faith.
Thank you for this teaching much needed today . It's been estimated that there are over 30000 different branches within Christianity alone . Could you please do a series on the major worlds religion When and how it started What they believe and teach How they differ from the Bible teaching and which regions of the world they are . Most of us don't know or study about other religions and find it hard to witness about our faith in Jesus . Thank you .
I am a "Pentecostal" Pastor and have been around Pentecostalism my whole life (while studying countless denominations, sects, and even other religions through collegiate education), and I can say that, in knowing those who are more identifiable with what is termed "Classical Pentecostalism" (which I lean more towards) as well as others who are a part of the "prosperity gospel" (which I wouldn't even call true pentecostalism...love the people but definitely disagree with their ways) --- but I can tell you that the idea of going to Heaven and THEN "growing and developing" even more is a fallacy I have never ever heard anyone of the "Full Gospel" "Pentecostal" or even "Apostolic" or "Charismatic" believers say. This is untrue. Also, Sanctification is a life-long work. Let me explain... Yes we are born in a lost/corrupt world. When we come to the age of accountability, from that point forward we are living in need of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Once a person comes to the Lord, fully surrenders, and is born again; accepting that precious gift of salvation and beginning that journey towards being more like Christ.... THIS is when a "regenerated life" as you all have termed it, begins. However, one must seek to learn and grow in the Lord and become equipped with the knowledge and understanding of the Word of God, have an active prayer life, etc etc.... but as we "come clean" and "come out" from among the world and become more like Christ, the process of sanctification begins.... Sanctification is best to explain through the illustration of a water filter..... It strains the pollutants of the world from entering in and keeps clean, fresh, and things acceptable unto the Lord coming out. When a person seeks the baptism of the Holy Ghost, they find themselves seeking to be baptized (fully immersed in the Spirit)... when it finally happens, the initial evidence of speaking in tongues (not the GIFT of tongues which requires the GIFT of interpretation by someone to interpret what was spoken) will take place. Hope this helps folks to better understand.
I am Pentecostal Jesus only Mexican American from Los Angeles and Southern California Apostolic Oneness are denominations are PAW , UPCI, AAFJC , ABC, we are ACTS. 2:38 believers are movement biblically started on the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem to the present then AZusa. Street Revival in L.A. in our latino group many of us came ojt of rcc , baptist, presybterian, mormons , are fellowship has spread all over the world you can feel God at work just like what happend in the book of Acts the epistles were written to keep us in the will of God prayer, how to meditate studying the word church. Attendence loyalty to Jesus church we also preach repentence water baptism by immersion and in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AND SPEAKING IN TONGUES JOY DANCING IM CHURCH. WITNESSING TO THE LOST BEING A BLESSING TO OTHERS. WE PUT EMPHASIS. ON WATER BAPTISM IN JESUS NAME WE BELIEVE IN THE FATHER SON AND HOLY GHOST THESR THREE ARE ONE
Im a omeness Pentecostal. ACTS. 2:38. APOSTOLIC. MY ANCESTORS. WERE. RCC. OUR FAITH GOES BACK. TO THE 12. APOSTLES. WE BELIEVE THE WHOLE. BIBLE. GENESIS. TO. REVELATIONS. THE CHARISMATICS ARE JOHNNY COME LATELY. WE ARE THE. FIRST. FORCE.
How on earth is Pentecostalism even grouped as a "major tradition" it in no way is as big as the Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant traditions. If pentecostals aren't grouped with Protestants (which they should be) then that same logic would mean that there are dozens (if not hundreds) of traditions that should be in this pie of traditions he is making. Pentecostalism definitely does not make up 20% of the Christian population. Those are faulty numbers.
These numbers are wrong. There are 1.1 Billion Catholics worldwide. There are about 250-300 Million worldwide. That is not 10%. Their percentages are obviously off. Pentecostalism is being broadened in order to create a larger number to make it seem more legitimate. If Pentecostals are not Protestant (by their standards), then there are dozens of other denominations that should be taken out of the protestant "branch".
They are like Protestants but they want to do what ever they want so they come up with their own false teaching and other things which don't follow the real gospel of jesus. They all worship false prophets.
Actually Holiness, Pentecostal, and Charismatics are probably more than a third of all Christians. At the rate of growth they may be as much as 60 to 65% within another century and as much as 90% in 2 centuries. But that is only if past and current growth patterns continue.
What do you mean when you say Catholics & Prots. see Salvation as an Event? And, do Catholics and Protestants believe that Salvation is after death or before death?
First of all pentecostalism is not just 100 years old.....Pentecostalism is two thousand years old and it started when the Power of God, which is the holy spirit fell on the Apostles on that upper room....Pentecostalism is not a denomination and its not a religion....Pentecostalism is an experience,,,,meaning if that same experience that the Apostles experience on that upper room didn't happen to your church or to your Pastor then Jesus Christ is not there and you dont have a church,,,,,, because its the Holy Spirit that determines whether you are saved or not,,,,and its the Holy Spirit that determines whether Jesus Christ is in your church or not.....No one can really argue against what alot of pentecostal churches are doing, which is healing the sick and speaking in tongues and all the miracles and power of God because its all in the bible....The Apostles after receiving the Holy Ghost on the upper room were speaking in tongues and they went out healing the sick and raising the dead and doing all kinds of miracles and in the power of God....The Apostle Paul spoke about the church speaking in tongues in his letters to the churches and he also talks about people should prophesying and all that.
How can you tell that what you practice at your gatherings is the same thing that the Apostles experienced? If you are a christian, do you know the history of the Church after the acts of the Apostles ? Bible only describes a small period of Church, do you know that there is a whole 2000 year history of the Church of Christ in actual detail, in writing ? Look it up! I urge you!
Shut up, Wt kind of story is that, we all know about your history and your false teachings deceiving a lot of good peoples you are not even Christians.
Yep. It’s a very selfish point of view. Christianity is often about sacrificing such luxuries in this lifetime, not solely looking to gain happiness and joy for yourself.
Tradition is when something is handed on, like a baton in a relay race. To say something is a NEW tradition is to give some creditability where none exists.
The Charismatic movement has no theology of their own. They borrowed it from the Baptist. I know. I went to a Charismatic Bible College and all the professors graduated from southern Baptist Seminaries.
Really it depends. A Catholic Charismatic has the theology of the RCC, a Anglican or Methodist, the theology of those denominations. A Charismatic is really just adding the baptism of the Holy Spirit as understood by Pentecostals to their existing theology.
Read the History of the Russian Missions to Alaska and compare them to the Spanish Conquest of South America. The First Martyr of America was Martyred by Roman Catholics.
Repent, be baptised, get filled with the Holy Spirit, walk in Christ. Not only is that the Salvation message, that is the most important message to be gained from all Bible Study! When you receive the Holy Spirit you will speak in tongues. That is what happened 2000 years ago to the Apostles on the day of Pentecost. That exact same experience is happening today. If you don't have signs, wonders and miracles happening regularly in your church then you are clearly in the wrong Church! God. The same yesterday, today and forever!
were called drunks on the day the church was born. Seems some critics are still out of touch. One out of five Christians is a Pentecostal. I am one of them, but embrace all fellow believers in Christ our savior. He is central in Pentecostal worship. How about yours?
There is only ONE type of Christian. Those who are born again in the Spirit. 1 CORINTHIANS 15 : 1 - 4 ......EPHESIANS 2 : 8 - 9 Bible. Everything else is a false works based gospel which is no gospel at all.
People need to search what pentecost mean!! This is not about just speaking blah blah blah this were real speaking languages and its a 50 days of feast right after pesaj. Pentecost means fifty in greek and this is the day YahWeh gave the 10 commandments to Israel. We are supposed to follow the hebrew roots which Yeshua came from and all this made up religions that only divides people and judges each other. YahWeh tells us to come out of babilonia and SUN-day ☀️ ☀️ worshippers. Ten Commandments are not only for Israel and the Torah. Read matthew 5:17-20 and see what Yeshua is saying. Ten Commandments were never abolished
europreneur we are all free with Jesus but if we love him we will obey his commandments and whenever we skip us his blood will cover it up with his love for us we obey the law out of love for our god cause of his rich grace over us and I say this again if you love him you will willingly follow them
Theyre di?octrine is not biblical. They only read Acts ch. 2 & 10 as their foundation. They don't read the entire chapter. Plus most Pentecostals use the NIV or newer bible versions to justify their doctrine. The KJV truly explains in Acts 2 that the spirit overtook the120 disciples & were able to spread the gospel to all global visitors in their own tongue. Read the entire chapter. In Acts 10, the miracle is given to the gentiles to see & preach to the Italians in Hebrew. No one in tne bible ever spoke in jibberish. All persons who had no control over their bodies were demon possessed.
I'm not Charismatic or WOF or abc I'm Apostolic Pentecostal Oneness Act's 2 38 there's about 90 million of us world wide Apostolic movement a lot of us came out of Catholism and it's proxies Baptist, Mormon, presbyterian Methodist we will go thru the tribulation so hang on till Jesus comes
Been baptized in Jesus name spoke in tongues when the holy ghost came devil chasing holy roller from southern calif presently I attend a UPCI fellowship in northern calif I'm Chicano from Los Angeles
Now lets hear about handling those serpents and drinking poisons, etc as mentioned in Mark 16:17.18. Doesn't the Word have to be continually confirmed as it was back then?
No. Understanding and no poison or serpents. Translating the symbolic ideas into another language ( from Greek into English) causes folks that can only be literal in understanding will continually create their own problems and issues.
@@keithwolfe1942 Just seems to all us non-pentecostals that you all are pretty selective on which gifts you declare are still valid today. Handling snakes is not ok. Drinking deadly poisons is not ok. Healing folks miraculously is not ok. Speaking in tongues . . . hey, that IS ok!
Steven: I think you are missing something in you reading of Mark chapter 16. It is not something that causes problems or tests faith. It has a lot of meaning symbolicly.
No. The "Pentecostals" have no real relation to Pentecost. Pentecostalism is a counterfeit of Pentecost- one supported by Satan, no less. They are an abomination, and always heretical.
In case you missed it, Pentecostals aren't the only or even the first group to believe in the Gifts of the Holy Ghost. Pentecostals just have a grossly distorted view of those Gifts and of how to obtain them.
People need to come out this greek-roman man made religions if they say they follow Yeshua and not that jesus name giving the Roman Catholic. Yahweh doesnt want anyone to follow man made doctrines but to come back to learn the Torah practice His 10 commandments celebrate His feast eat clean and keep His Sabbath
Pentecostalism is a fasle gospel based on mans works not Christ finished work, not to mention they pervert almost all scripture...healing in the bible is a reference to salvation not getting healed of some illness which God can do but that's not the healing its talking about...salvation is spiritual healing and that's all based on Christ blood and finished work.
***** no they don't....most Pentecostals believe salvation can be lost...so by default that makes it a works salvation....you can't say "yeah its faith alone" and then say oh well you can lose it if you walk away and by "walking away" they mean "not being good enough" IE WORKS LAW etc...most Pentecostals DENY a believer HAS eternal life NOW....they think you get eternal life after you die OR they say "well everyone has eternal life"...HELL isn't eternal life, saying being in hell is eternal life isn't sound doctrine and its retarded and ANTI Christ to say eternal life is the same as hell....Christ is THE LIFE...since salvation is of the lord its not yours to lose...."ITS NO LONGER I WHO LIVE, but Christ who lives in me....there is no " I " to walk away...a believers identity is HID in Christ, salvation is spiritual regeneration its not a carnal/flesh act of man.
***** sorry dude but healing is salvation....Christ did physical things as a "representation" of salvation....when it says "by his stripes you are healed" etc...that's talking about his blood and forgiveness of sins...nowhere in scripture does it associate his shed blood with physical healing....his blood washes away sins.......you're just carnaly minded and associate salvation with salvation of the flesh....you've been stuck in a crappy false teaching for too long...the sick are the lost, the blind are the lost...jesus says he gives "eyes to see and ears to hear" that's spiritual language for him saving people...you're not comparing spiritual with spiritual>> 1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
geovanie flores countless verses? the bible has to be rightly divided and harmonized, in other words you can't ignore any of it and it all has to line up, "we're saved by grace, that not of yourselves, not of works"...so verses like that are explicit, they leave no doubt as to the meaning, in james when it says faith without works is dead..."ITS NOT TALKING ABOUT MANS WORKS...lol its christ finished work, thats the works you need and thats by FAITH not by sight, not of yourselves, if you're relying on your liusy lifestyle, its just evidence you don't know christ and good intentions and lip service to lawkeeping and "repenting" doesn't count for righteousness..."faith counts for righteousnes"..that means a dependance on christ and his work on the cross, if you're just relying on him to be some helper or co pilot, thats not really being sound in doctrine. he's the savior not the helper, he saves apart from any works of man
+alizarin alexander if you dont believe in any of the bible verses then you are contradicting yourself. the bible is the word of god isnt it? what you said about the pentecostal ways is false garbage. we dont believe in saving anyone, we do it through jesus christ. repenting everyday is a must, you sin everday even without knowing it. if you think believing in jesus is good enough for heaven then your mistaken. you have to have a relationship with god, worship him, accept him as your one and only savior. i dont know what you are but you are ignorant of Pentecostals man.

@@josejuan6585 somehow I agree with you because speaking in tongues and miracles have happened in the early Christian Church that's why they can't be called heretics because heretics are the ones which create their own sets of beliefs and teachings but since these things have happened to the early Christians so in this sense they aren't generating any new doctrines but instead are reviving the original ones
Why in the world don't you consider Pentecostals Protestants. Pentecostalism is a movement not another type of Christianity. There are only three major types of Christianity: Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant.
Same way Orthodox are not Catholic
Amen, it's great to have someone like you here with a theological backround. Protestant Baptist, Orthodox and Catholic are real Christian.
Actually only one type of Christian. That is one that has a personal relationship with GOD through Jesus Christ. Organizations and structures may vary and be very different, but it is still one Lord, one faith, and one baptism ( in or of The Holy Spirit). That is why there is an universality to the Christian faith.
@@keithwolfe1942 Amen
@@keithwolfe1942 True ! 👍
Thank you for this teaching much needed today . It's been estimated that there are over 30000 different branches within Christianity alone . Could you please do a series on the major worlds religion When and how it started What they believe and teach How they differ from the Bible teaching and which regions of the world they are . Most of us don't know or study about other religions and find it hard to witness about our faith in Jesus . Thank you .

Clear, concise explanation. Thanks!
I am a "Pentecostal" Pastor and have been around Pentecostalism my whole life (while studying countless denominations, sects, and even other religions through collegiate education), and I can say that, in knowing those who are more identifiable with what is termed "Classical Pentecostalism" (which I lean more towards) as well as others who are a part of the "prosperity gospel" (which I wouldn't even call true pentecostalism...love the people but definitely disagree with their ways) --- but I can tell you that the idea of going to Heaven and THEN "growing and developing" even more is a fallacy I have never ever heard anyone of the "Full Gospel" "Pentecostal" or even "Apostolic" or "Charismatic" believers say. This is untrue.
Also, Sanctification is a life-long work. Let me explain...
Yes we are born in a lost/corrupt world. When we come to the age of accountability, from that point forward we are living in need of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Once a person comes to the Lord, fully surrenders, and is born again; accepting that precious gift of salvation and beginning that journey towards being more like Christ.... THIS is when a "regenerated life" as you all have termed it, begins.
However, one must seek to learn and grow in the Lord and become equipped with the knowledge and understanding of the Word of God, have an active prayer life, etc etc.... but as we "come clean" and "come out" from among the world and become more like Christ, the process of sanctification begins.... Sanctification is best to explain through the illustration of a water filter..... It strains the pollutants of the world from entering in and keeps clean, fresh, and things acceptable unto the Lord coming out.
When a person seeks the baptism of the Holy Ghost, they find themselves seeking to be baptized (fully immersed in the Spirit)... when it finally happens, the initial evidence of speaking in tongues (not the GIFT of tongues which requires the GIFT of interpretation by someone to interpret what was spoken) will take place. Hope this helps folks to better understand.
I see Orthodoxy making a comeback.
I am a Pentecostal
Then you are going straight to hell.

This was interesting.
How on earth is Pentecostalism even grouped as a "major tradition" it in no way is as big as the Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant traditions. If pentecostals aren't grouped with Protestants (which they should be) then that same logic would mean that there are dozens (if not hundreds) of traditions that should be in this pie of traditions he is making. Pentecostalism definitely does not make up 20% of the Christian population. Those are faulty numbers.
Ian Buckmaster Perhaps they don't make up 20% of Christians where you live, but it is different on a global and country level.
These numbers are wrong. There are 1.1 Billion Catholics worldwide. There are about 250-300 Million worldwide. That is not 10%. Their percentages are obviously off. Pentecostalism is being broadened in order to create a larger number to make it seem more legitimate. If Pentecostals are not Protestant (by their standards), then there are dozens of other denominations that should be taken out of the protestant "branch".
They are like Protestants but they want to do what ever they want so they come up with their own false teaching and other things which don't follow the real gospel of jesus. They all worship false prophets.
Pentecostalism / Charismatics come out of Protestant churches. They want more than creed and liturgy.
Actually Holiness, Pentecostal, and Charismatics are probably more than a third of all Christians. At the rate of growth they may be as much as 60 to 65% within another century and as much as 90% in 2 centuries. But that is only if past and current growth patterns continue.
Where does this guy lecture at?
What do you mean when you say Catholics & Prots. see Salvation as an Event? And, do Catholics and Protestants believe that Salvation is after death or before death?
+Irma Elenes before death
LOL! I enjoyed this lecture which by the way it is pretty accurate and goes straight to the point. Thanks
There is no overlapping Orthodoxy, it is the source.
First of all pentecostalism is not just 100 years old.....Pentecostalism is two thousand years old and it started when the Power of God, which is the holy spirit fell on the Apostles on that upper room....Pentecostalism is not a denomination and its not a religion....Pentecostalism is an experience,,,,meaning if that same experience that the Apostles experience on that upper room didn't happen to your church or to your Pastor then Jesus Christ is not there and you dont have a church,,,,,, because its the Holy Spirit that determines whether you are saved or not,,,,and its the Holy Spirit that determines whether Jesus Christ is in your church or not.....No one can really argue against what alot of pentecostal churches are doing, which is healing the sick and speaking in tongues and all the miracles and power of God because its all in the bible....The Apostles after receiving the Holy Ghost on the upper room were speaking in tongues and they went out healing the sick and raising the dead and doing all kinds of miracles and in the power of God....The Apostle Paul spoke about the church speaking in tongues in his letters to the churches and he also talks about people should prophesying and all that.
How can you tell that what you practice at your gatherings is the same thing that the Apostles experienced? If you are a christian, do you know the history of the Church after the acts of the Apostles ? Bible only describes a small period of Church, do you know that there is a whole 2000 year history of the Church of Christ in actual detail, in writing ? Look it up! I urge you!
Jesus Christ did not believe in a 3-in-1 god.
The God whom Jesus worships is 1, only.
The speaking of tongues in the bible were real languages not dadadada or tititititititi
Shut up, Wt kind of story is that, we all know about your history and your false teachings deceiving a lot of good peoples you are not even Christians.
"What Christianity should do for you..." speaks volumes.
Yep. It’s a very selfish point of view. Christianity is often about sacrificing such luxuries in this lifetime, not solely looking to gain happiness and joy for yourself.
Tradition is when something is handed on, like a baton in a relay race. To say something is a NEW tradition is to give some creditability where none exists.
Pentecostalism can be traced back in the book of Acts.
It has fuzzy boundaries.
Disciples and John 14: 13- 14 qualify 0 % ???
In the Asemblies of God you need a 4 year degree or you have to go through a 3 year bible school program to become an ordained pastor...
Wow.. ok... few get it like you do.. i agree with your analysis maybe 95%
The Charismatic movement has no theology of their own. They borrowed it from the Baptist. I know. I went to a Charismatic Bible College and all the professors graduated from southern Baptist Seminaries.
Really it depends. A Catholic Charismatic has the theology of the RCC, a Anglican or Methodist, the theology of those denominations. A Charismatic is really just adding the baptism of the Holy Spirit as understood by Pentecostals to their existing theology.
At least orthodoxy doesn't have history of colonialism in Latin America. That why I as a Hispanic find it attractive as a relationship with God.
That's because Orthodox have been under the boot of Islam in most places and communists in others.
Pentecostalism is fastest growing in Latin America and Asia.
Read the History of the Russian Missions to Alaska and compare them to the Spanish Conquest of South America.
The First Martyr of America was Martyred by Roman Catholics.
You need the Holy Spirit and education to be a minister
Repent, be baptised, get filled with the Holy Spirit, walk in Christ.
Not only is that the Salvation message, that is the most important message to be gained from all Bible Study!
When you receive the Holy Spirit you will speak in tongues.
That is what happened 2000 years ago to the Apostles on the day of Pentecost.
That exact same experience is happening today.
If you don't have signs, wonders and miracles happening regularly in your church then you are clearly in the wrong Church!
God. The same yesterday, today and forever!
Pentecostalism means holy ghost.
It began after Jesus left earth and went to heaven.
were called drunks on the day the church was born. Seems some critics are still out of touch. One out of five Christians is a Pentecostal. I am one of them, but embrace all fellow believers in Christ our savior. He is central in Pentecostal worship. How about yours?
There is only ONE type of Christian. Those who are born again in the Spirit.
1 CORINTHIANS 15 : 1 - 4 ......EPHESIANS 2 : 8 - 9 Bible. Everything else is a false works based gospel which is no gospel at all.
amen
Sorry prof We started with King David. Began in the upper room after Jesus ascended to Heaven
Can you provide historical proof that modern Pentecostalism is the continuous line from Christ Through the Apostles?
We do NOT force things like speaking in tongues and healing. That is gods gift to use this lecture is totally wrong and an a fence
No u are lying you in are not even real Christians and believers you are the false church and you have a millions of false prophets.
Holy Israele bless you amen gesus Crist love you amen
it's growing the same way Wal-Mart is growing.
andrew sapia ....and making just about as much money also.
😂😂😂😂😂 im glad im out of that business money machine
People need to search what pentecost mean!! This is not about just speaking blah blah blah this were real speaking languages and its a 50 days of feast right after pesaj. Pentecost means fifty in greek and this is the day YahWeh gave the 10 commandments to Israel. We are supposed to follow the hebrew roots which Yeshua came from and all this made up religions that only divides people and judges each other. YahWeh tells us to come out of babilonia and SUN-day ☀️ ☀️ worshippers. Ten Commandments are not only for Israel and the Torah. Read matthew 5:17-20 and see what Yeshua is saying. Ten Commandments were never abolished
If you live under te old scripture you are right... But I live under the new scripture under Acts 2 verse 1 to 4. I am free with Jesus.
europreneur we are all free with Jesus but if we love him we will obey his commandments and whenever we skip us his blood will cover it up with his love for us we obey the law out of love for our god cause of his rich grace over us and I say this again if you love him you will willingly follow them
Theyre di?octrine is not biblical. They only read Acts ch. 2 & 10 as their foundation. They don't read the entire chapter. Plus most Pentecostals use the NIV or newer bible versions to justify their doctrine. The KJV truly explains in Acts 2 that the spirit overtook the120 disciples & were able to spread the gospel to all global visitors in their own tongue. Read the entire chapter. In Acts 10, the miracle is given to the gentiles to see & preach to the Italians in Hebrew. No one in tne bible ever spoke in jibberish. All persons who had no control over their bodies were demon possessed.
You are absolutely right.
I'm not Charismatic or WOF or abc I'm Apostolic Pentecostal Oneness Act's 2 38 there's about 90 million of us world wide Apostolic movement a lot of us came out of Catholism and it's proxies Baptist, Mormon, presbyterian Methodist we will go thru the tribulation so hang on till Jesus comes
Been baptized in Jesus name spoke in tongues when the holy ghost came devil chasing holy roller from southern calif presently I attend a UPCI fellowship in northern calif I'm Chicano from Los Angeles
Now lets hear about handling those serpents and drinking poisons, etc as mentioned in Mark 16:17.18. Doesn't the Word have to be continually confirmed as it was back then?
No. Understanding and no poison or serpents. Translating the symbolic ideas into another language ( from Greek into English) causes folks that can only be literal in understanding will continually create their own problems and issues.
@@keithwolfe1942 Just seems to all us non-pentecostals that you all are pretty selective on which gifts you declare are still valid today. Handling snakes is not ok. Drinking deadly poisons is not ok. Healing folks miraculously is not ok. Speaking in tongues . . . hey, that IS ok!
@@keithwolfe1942 I can understand the Bible a whole lot better than I can understand you.
Steven: I think you are missing something in you reading of Mark chapter 16. It is not something that causes problems or tests faith. It has a lot of meaning symbolicly.
@@keithwolfe1942 Let everyone know just what it is you are talking about.
Many different kinds of Christians? Started out wrong. Only one true kind
They are all idolters and pagan believers and are all lost without YHVH.
Pentecostal started 30 A.D (Acts 2) I really liked it though
No. The "Pentecostals" have no real relation to Pentecost.
Pentecostalism is a counterfeit of Pentecost- one supported by Satan, no less. They are an abomination, and always heretical.
Peter was pentecostal
Grim Baron
No, he was not.
Michael Rex acts 2:38. yeah he was lel
In case you missed it, Pentecostals aren't the only or even the first group to believe in the Gifts of the Holy Ghost.
Pentecostals just have a grossly distorted view of those Gifts and of how to obtain them.
People need to come out this greek-roman man made religions if they say they follow Yeshua and not that jesus name giving the Roman Catholic. Yahweh doesnt want anyone to follow man made doctrines but to come back to learn the Torah practice His 10 commandments celebrate His feast eat clean and keep His Sabbath
call him Jesus - you're speaking English.
Pentecostalism is a fasle gospel based on mans works not Christ finished work, not to mention they pervert almost all scripture...healing in the bible is a reference to salvation not getting healed of some illness which God can do but that's not the healing its talking about...salvation is spiritual healing and that's all based on Christ blood and finished work.
***** no they don't....most Pentecostals believe salvation can be lost...so by default that makes it a works salvation....you can't say "yeah its faith alone" and then say oh well you can lose it if you walk away and by "walking away" they mean "not being good enough" IE WORKS LAW etc...most Pentecostals DENY a believer HAS eternal life NOW....they think you get eternal life after you die OR they say "well everyone has eternal life"...HELL isn't eternal life, saying being in hell is eternal life isn't sound doctrine and its retarded and ANTI Christ to say eternal life is the same as hell....Christ is THE LIFE...since salvation is of the lord its not yours to lose...."ITS NO LONGER I WHO LIVE, but Christ who lives in me....there is no " I " to walk away...a believers identity is HID in Christ, salvation is spiritual regeneration its not a carnal/flesh act of man.
***** sorry dude but healing is salvation....Christ did physical things as a "representation" of salvation....when it says "by his stripes you are healed" etc...that's talking about his blood and forgiveness of sins...nowhere in scripture does it associate his shed blood with physical healing....his blood washes away sins.......you're just carnaly minded and associate salvation with salvation of the flesh....you've been stuck in a crappy false teaching for too long...the sick are the lost, the blind are the lost...jesus says he gives "eyes to see and ears to hear" that's spiritual language for him saving people...you're not comparing spiritual with spiritual>>
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
please tell me how its false? when theirs countless bible verses that back up the pentecostal ways. the day of pentecost?
geovanie flores countless verses? the bible has to be rightly divided and harmonized, in other words you can't ignore any of it and it all has to line up, "we're saved by grace, that not of yourselves, not of works"...so verses like that are explicit, they leave no doubt as to the meaning, in james when it says faith without works is dead..."ITS NOT TALKING ABOUT MANS WORKS...lol its christ finished work, thats the works you need and thats by FAITH not by sight, not of yourselves, if you're relying on your liusy lifestyle, its just evidence you don't know christ and good intentions and lip service to lawkeeping and "repenting" doesn't count for righteousness..."faith counts for righteousnes"..that means a dependance on christ and his work on the cross, if you're just relying on him to be some helper or co pilot, thats not really being sound in doctrine. he's the savior not the helper, he saves apart from any works of man
+alizarin alexander if you dont believe in any of the bible verses then you are contradicting yourself. the bible is the word of god isnt it? what you said about the pentecostal ways is false garbage. we dont believe in saving anyone, we do it through jesus christ. repenting everyday is a must, you sin everday even without knowing it. if you think believing in jesus is good enough for heaven then your mistaken. you have to have a relationship with god, worship him, accept him as your one and only savior. i dont know what you are but you are ignorant of Pentecostals man.
