@@redbluffhomestead5293 it was my understanding that Church of God and Church of God of Prophecy only split because Church of God wanted a new general overseer so Tomlinson took some of the members and started Church of God of prophecy, that's also how some other Splinter groups came into being, they're actually a few Splinter groups with the general overseers name as part of the official title, so most of their differences are not theological in nature, they're just who gets to be in charge

This speaker is causing some misunderstanding because he is NOT strongly making the point that he is speaking of the Anderson In. Church of God which is NOT pentecostal in practice. When one merely says "Church of God", one usually thinks of the Cleveland, Tn. Church of God which IS pentecostal and is also a much larger group than the Anderson In. church to which the speaker is referring. Incidentally, there are many church groups that have "Church of God" either in part or wholly as their name.

Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. Acts 19 (KJV) ²) He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. ³) And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. ⁴) Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. ⁵) When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. “And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” - Acts 22:16 (KJV) “I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.” - Isaiah 45:23 (KJV) “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” - Romans 14:11 (KJV) Philippians 2 (KJV) ¹⁰) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; ¹¹) And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Ephesians 4 (KJV) ⁵) One Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶) One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
i believe that baptism is also cleansing of our sins, and we do not question God on that matters. save by grace is set of time that you recieved God and same God pronounce you are save by grace through faith by your acceptance.in him.
I visited a church of God for 3 month. They said that my baptism as I repented of my sin was not valid because their organization did not baptized me. 😅 they are all over in their doctrine
Item 1. You are not saved at baptism, you enter the church by receiving the Holy Spirit, and now dead to sin have access to grace with hope of being saved and eternal life.
Baptism symbolizes death to the old self and re-emerging as a new person, as well as washing away sins. Edit: Just as you say in video. Wrote comment before listening further.
This is the church of God with general headquarters in Anderson IN. Not the Pentecostal church of God Cleveland Tennessee. Two seperate groups with differing teaching on some issues.
Part of the confusion is that because many people in the state legislature are members of the Church of God they were essentially given a franchise in the state of tennessee, meaning that technically they're the only ones legally allowed to use that title but only in tennessee, every other place in the world it's a different story, and they were all kinds of denominations and non-denominational churches with the same name, after the fact that what was one denomination is now about seven, due to splits mainly of a procedure on nature and not theological, it gets even more complicated
Church of God (Anderson IN) is amellinialist. Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world". And when the trumpet sounds, we who are alive will rise to meet him in the air, and so we shall ever be with the Lord.
Our Church does not use hymnals anymore. I think the churches founder Daniel Warner would be very disappointed. The church of God claims to be non denominational but yet they sing the modern day song's of Hillsong, Bethel Church, Jesus Culture, and Elevation worship, and these churches have deeply flawed theology and doctrine. It is acrying shame that The Church of God is not setting a better example for the rest of the denominational churches by not singing songs from those churches or artists which do not have sound beliefs.
And you don't think that that is sort of petty? Things like what songs to sing or how to dress or how to decorate your Chapel are all optional things that don't have a direct impact on theology or doctrine, whether it is a choir or an organ or a contemporary set up, whatever kind of music an individual Church wants to use is completely acceptable,
@@onamattapeeya the music from the artists mentioned have extremely flawed theology and it is proven that music is very influential. Yes, it does matter. Are we glorifying God, or are we singing bad theology that does not actually honor Him? Worship is for HIM, not for us. May we learn that lesson. Lord, help us.
@@christincommon5496 theology isn't supposed to be in music LOL my statement stands, little petty things like what kind of music to play or what translation to read or how to decorate your Chapel is all optional stuff that people can do however they want to, there is no individual or governing body on Earth that has the authority to tell people what they can and can't do in their individual church, I know there are groups that claim such power such as the papacy or the Church of God General Assembly but they only claim Authority they don't actually have any, also someone can be a good Christian and not have to be a religious zealot or a superstitious fool, so if someone wants to be a monk then good for them but that's not going to work for everyone, it's also doesn't work for everyone to run every single thing they do everyday through a what would Jesus do filter, Jesus doesn't care if you go to Kentucky Fried Chicken or Chick-fil-A
@@onamattapeeya unfortunately many “Christians” who don’t read their Bibles get their theology from the pseudo worship music. If we understand worship, it is for God, not for us. The me-centered Nonsense so popular today is pretty much self-centered non-worship. But yes I agree that one person should not dictate what everyone does. We should all know God well enough to know what He wants and proceed accordingly.
The church I’m part of is the church of God the same one I was raised in. I had stopped going for quite a few years and went back as I didn’t fit in anywhere else! We don’t use music in our worship services! We are not Pentecostal we are old Order church of God what D. S Warner started but in the 1900 s The Anderson Indiana COG went more worldly wearing ties , jewelry and so they had a split over compromise! A lot of church of God groups claim they don’t have membership but many of them know who their members are ! They don’t put their names on a book sadly there are many little church of God groups who believe you gotta be us or your not in the truth ! And they sing a song we reach our hand in fellowship to ever blood washed one ! But most don’t
The modern day Church of God has no resemblance to the Church of God I was raised in during the late 60's through the late 70's Without Holiness NO MAN shall see God.
If God forgives you of your sin, does that mean all state, local and moral laws should be forgiving? No, you are still held to account for any state, local and or morals acts that you may have done. Why can I not contact the church via your web page?
Oh I see. I thought you were maybe seeking for a church that believes in that. But yeah, I believe most of what this man said and it seems like his beliefs don’t match up to others who claim to be Church of God. But I think I know what you’re talking about, there is a church of God, world mission society that believes in a lot of weird stuff
Bible says that Jesus Christ is God and that Jesus Christ is the Creator and that Jesus Christ is the word. The Bible says that wisdom is like our sister our nearest kin is how we should view wisdom as wisdom is experience and knowledge and understanding. The holy Spirit is the presence of Jesus Christ who is God living within us also known as the Lord of hosts. As far as I know the Bible does not say that God is a woman or that the holy spirit is a woman or that Jesus is a woman even if they are three different beings and as far as I know according to the Bible they are one God it is one being.
I just left the Methodist Church because they do not have any authority of what to believe nor any desire to get to God’s truth when there is disagreement (which requires authority). Came here looking for the one true church. He said that the word of God is the final authority. And then talked about how COG interprets the Bible. He is teaching by Tradition without any Authority. So far Catholic Church seems to have the very best system by taking into account Sacred Scripture (primary) AND Sacred Tradition - passing down the interpretations of how to live out Sacred Scripture as it has been held from the very earliest days of Christianity (before people started messing with doctrines). It depends on the Magisterium (priests and Bishops) to hammer out any changes to doctrine. These changes happen VERY SELDOM! Which makes sense if it is the TRUTH! I encourage you to get the Catholic Catechism and check it all out for yourself. This document combines Sacred Scripture and Tradition into a beautiful document so that you know exactly what the church believes.
@@PatrickSteil They believe that they are in the line of prophecy and in apostolic authority. They go to the scriptures but believe that apostles in our day have authority as the ambassadors of Christ.
When you read the books of the New Testament you have probably asked yourself many times: "Why is it that for 2000 years we have not seen the miracles that accompanied the Church of Christ in the first century as the New Testament describes them? Why is it that so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed, while atheists have the audacity to deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Church of Christ ceased to exist after the first century. There is no Church as it is described in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other Christian sects, claiming to be the Church, but not having that one thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic only for the Church of Christ - the backing of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mk 16:15-20). That is why part of the researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and part of them do not mind to declare Him a real person, but an ordinary philosopher, a teacher. But even if Jesus was an ordinary philosopher, His disciples would have been ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not have dared to write about the miracles that not only Jesus but also His disciples could perform. If in our time there were a Church as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed - healing the sick, prophesying, raising the dead - no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then all over the world there would be the same disputes as in the first century - Jesus is the Son of God or a false prophet who seduces the world with miracles. Find on youtube the message *"The Mystery of the Church of Christ"* . It reveals the prophecy of the disappearance and reappearance of the Church of Christ before the End of the World, giving hope to all who are sincerely seeking God and who are not lazy to think freely.
There are some Pentecostal denominations that are ''Jesus Only'' which almost all mainstream denomination teach is false doctrine and a misunderstanding of the God in scripture. But ''oneness'' is not a doctrine in mainstream Pentecostal denominations. Think when Jesus was baptized the Father speaks from heaven, the Spirit is desending in the air, and Jesus is in the water so God as we know Him was in three different spaces and forms at the same time. A lot of church won't tell you they believe Jesus isn't God but you find that in certain cults but occasionally it's is believed and taught in mainstream churches sadly.
@@psc502 my understanding of the Holy Trinty is Father ,Son and Holy Spirit where as the oneness is a Hologram God which is projected from God and this is the major difference between The Holy God of the Bible
Water baptism is just telling God in front of other people or in front of someone that you are okay with God using his forgiveness through his blood to give you the holy Spirit to help you become more like him it is has nothing to do with you never ever sinning again. What you do instead is plead the blood confess your sin and plead the blood and ask him to help you try again even if the sin is rebellion do not let Satan condemn you for it being the sin of rebellion rebellion is definitely something you do not want to be stuck in however rebellion is a sin in God's blood can cover it if you ask him to help you stop you can even tell him you don't want to stop in to help him help you want to want to stop it that'll work too.
D. S. Warner, the founder of this movement, taught a sin-free life after salvation. Someone asked him the same question about rebaptism. Here is the question and response from D. S. Warner: If a person has been baptized and falls away from grace, when he gets back, must he be baptized again? Your brother, R. H. Owens If a person is simply overthrown of Satan, but never gives up Christ to live in sin, such need not be re-baptized. But if they cast away all faith and profession and go back to live in sin, they undo their baptism and everything, and on being restored should do their first works and be baptized.
You may say speaking in tongues isn't necessary for the believers but I beg to differ because of my experience when I was 16. I am now 61. To me that is BLASPHEMY!
Obviously I truly loved the Church of God however as of now and I don't know if I actually will be I am not stirred corrected yet that you have to speak in tongues in order to be aware that you have the indwelling of the holy Spirit. Other than that the rest of their core beliefs the five core beliefs that are different the rest of them other than the Tums then all the other Christians I agree with because of what the Bible says and only because of what the Bible says.
What I meant to say is awesome now and I have yet to be stood corrected when I say that you do not have to speak in tongues in order to know that you have the holy ghost in order to know you have the holy ghost is if you have it. Speaking in tongues is only one of the ways and not everybodyhas been able to speak in tongues even though they can because they have the holy ghost.
@@againstthepope2362 you obviously don’t understand sin. Each and every sin u and I commit has 2 effects. Eternal and temporal. Jesus on the cross fixed the eternal part. We HAVE to fix the temporal part. That’s why Jesus said Pick up your cross and follow me That’s why Paul said I make up in my suffering that which is lacking in Jesus Christ. That’s why the Bible says We will reign with HIM if we suffer with HIM. Purgatory is for SAVED people who have not Fixed the temporal part 100%. You have a ton to learn about Jesus and the Bible.
“Unity is found in Jesus” But it isn’t. We have thousands of denominations. That isn’t unity. If there is ONE God there should be ONE Truth. In order to have one truth there HAS to be an authority. The Bible can’t be that authority - on what authority did it create itself? The Catholic Church is the authority who defined the Cannon we take for granted as Scripture.
Patrick, I'm a former Catholic. The Catholic Church is now embracing homosexual marriage, worship of "Pacha Mama" and a rejection of the necessity of Christ. Open your heart to Gods word.
@@JohnH204 I don’t think you understood the role of the Pope. The person of the Pope doesn’t define Truth. The position of the Pope along with the magisterium AND Sacred Scripture and most importantly Sacred Tradition defines Truth. Today’s Pope cannot change any teaching of the Catholic Church that has been true for 2000+ years. I have witnessed many Catholic priests and Bishops including our local Priest say this exactly so I am not worried. How do you depend on any other church to profess “The Truth”?
@@PatrickSteil I depend on God's Word the Holy Bible and the Holy Spirit. Not a confusing system of Pope / magisterium / scripture and tradition. If the Pope is chosen by divine inspiration of the Papal conclave why do they so consistently make terrible choices...? The RCC dramatically overhauled their practice and doctrine after Vatican Council 2.0. so the idea that it can not change is patently false.
@@JohnH204 Sorry for the late reply, lol. You depend on the Holy Bible and the Holy Spirit. But that Holy Bible tells us that the Church is the pillar and foundation of Truth. It never tells you to depend on the Bible Alone - that is a man made invention. It is false and it is what has caused you to have your beliefs, to disagree with so many other "Christians" and think that that is ok. If there is ONE God who is the author of the ONE Truth, there should be ONE Church. I would encourage you to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church - it is the most beautiful doctrinal work I have ever seen. It is amazing.
The fact that they have no official creed immediately will bring about division because if no one can speak on behalf for what the church of God believes then anyone can develop a belief and claim it to be church of God and it will of necessity bring about division. The fact that he is presenting beliefs of the church of God is showing that they do have a creed, it's just not written but oral. He also doesn't seem to understand that the church of God has separated themselves because he says "here are the baptists, methodists, presbyterians; why don't we just be one body?" He doesn't seem to understand that the baptists are one body, the methodists also and so are the presbyterians. If they have no core set of doctrines with which to align themselves, and a creed just lays it out on paper, then there will be people who will come to different conclusions.
The Pentecostal church of God is the one in that started out of Tennessee.This one designates them as the Anderson IN church of God and they are two seperate denominations or types of church organisations.

Gid bless you!!!!!!
i believe that baptism is also cleansing of our sins, and we do not question God on that matters.
save by grace is set of time that you recieved God and same God pronounce you are save by grace through faith by your acceptance.in him.
I visited a church of God for 3 month. They said that my baptism as I repented of my sin was not valid because their organization did not baptized me. 😅 they are all over in their doctrine
Item 1. You are not saved at baptism, you enter the church by receiving the Holy Spirit, and now dead to sin have access to grace with hope of being saved and eternal life.
Baptism symbolizes death to the old self and re-emerging as a new person, as well as washing away sins. Edit: Just as you say in video. Wrote comment before listening further.
This is the church of God with general headquarters in Anderson IN. Not the Pentecostal church of God Cleveland Tennessee. Two seperate groups with differing teaching on some issues.
Part of the confusion is that because many people in the state legislature are members of the Church of God they were essentially given a franchise in the state of tennessee, meaning that technically they're the only ones legally allowed to use that title but only in tennessee, every other place in the world it's a different story, and they were all kinds of denominations and non-denominational churches with the same name, after the fact that what was one denomination is now about seven, due to splits mainly of a procedure on nature and not theological, it gets even more complicated
He talks about non-negotiables. By whose authority would that be?
You say there is only one body ?
Then u say that your church started in 1700 ?
You missed the body by 1700yrs.
What do you believe about the millenial reign?
Church of God (Anderson IN) is amellinialist. Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world". And when the trumpet sounds, we who are alive will rise to meet him in the air, and so we shall ever be with the Lord.
Pastor thanks for this message.
Pastor can you help me, what is the stand of the church regarding Rapture, 1000 reign of Christ or Millenium.
God Bless You....but the Cleveland TN COG is the cats pajamas.
Our Church does not use hymnals anymore. I think the churches founder Daniel Warner would be very disappointed. The church of God claims to be non denominational but yet they sing the modern day song's of Hillsong, Bethel Church, Jesus Culture, and Elevation worship, and these churches have deeply flawed theology and doctrine. It is acrying shame that The Church of God is not setting a better example for the rest of the denominational churches by not singing songs from those churches or artists which do not have sound beliefs.
And you don't think that that is sort of petty? Things like what songs to sing or how to dress or how to decorate your Chapel are all optional things that don't have a direct impact on theology or doctrine, whether it is a choir or an organ or a contemporary set up, whatever kind of music an individual Church wants to use is completely acceptable,
I would be very sad to not be able to sing the hymns! They are almost like our anthems! Church of God is still singing them.
@@onamattapeeya the music from the artists mentioned have extremely flawed theology and it is proven that music is very influential.
Yes, it does matter. Are we glorifying God, or are we singing bad theology that does not actually honor Him?
Worship is for HIM, not for us. May we learn that lesson. Lord, help us.
@@christincommon5496 theology isn't supposed to be in music LOL my statement stands, little petty things like what kind of music to play or what translation to read or how to decorate your Chapel is all optional stuff that people can do however they want to, there is no individual or governing body on Earth that has the authority to tell people what they can and can't do in their individual church, I know there are groups that claim such power such as the papacy or the Church of God General Assembly but they only claim Authority they don't actually have any, also someone can be a good Christian and not have to be a religious zealot or a superstitious fool, so if someone wants to be a monk then good for them but that's not going to work for everyone, it's also doesn't work for everyone to run every single thing they do everyday through a what would Jesus do filter, Jesus doesn't care if you go to Kentucky Fried Chicken or Chick-fil-A
@@onamattapeeya unfortunately many “Christians” who don’t read their Bibles get their theology from the pseudo worship music.
If we understand worship, it is for God, not for us. The me-centered Nonsense so popular today is pretty much self-centered non-worship.
But yes I agree that one person should not dictate what everyone does. We should all know God well enough to know what He wants and proceed accordingly.
The church I’m part of is the church of God the same one I was raised in. I had stopped going for quite a few years and went back as I didn’t fit in anywhere else! We don’t use music in our worship services! We are not Pentecostal we are old Order church of God what D. S Warner started but in the 1900 s The Anderson Indiana COG went more worldly wearing ties , jewelry and so they had a split over compromise! A lot of church of God groups claim they don’t have membership but many of them know who their members are ! They don’t put their names on a book sadly there are many little church of God groups who believe you gotta be us or your not in the truth ! And they sing a song we reach our hand in fellowship to ever blood washed one ! But most don’t
Thank you for talking about Phillip and the Ethiopian eunuchs, a black eunuchs.
The modern day Church of God has no resemblance to the Church of God I was raised in during the late 60's through the late 70's Without Holiness NO MAN shall see God.
If God forgives you of your sin, does that mean all state, local and moral laws should be forgiving? No, you are still held to account for any state, local and or morals acts that you may have done.
Why can I not contact the church via your web page?
Many beliefs you shared there. Many I believe as well. Does your church believe that God is a father and a mother?
Rob Sewell that’s not biblical
However if you listen to this sermon it sounds pretty solid. He doesn't mention mother god. That's why I asked for his explanation.
Oh I see. I thought you were maybe seeking for a church that believes in that. But yeah, I believe most of what this man said and it seems like his beliefs don’t match up to others who claim to be Church of God. But I think I know what you’re talking about, there is a church of God, world mission society that believes in a lot of weird stuff
@@Wukles you are thinking of the cult WMSCOG. this "Church of God" is not that.
Check out this link th-cam.com/video/Q0LhGhJDXtA/w-d-xo.html
Bible says that Jesus Christ is God and that Jesus Christ is the Creator and that Jesus Christ is the word. The Bible says that wisdom is like our sister our nearest kin is how we should view wisdom as wisdom is experience and knowledge and understanding. The holy Spirit is the presence of Jesus Christ who is God living within us also known as the Lord of hosts. As far as I know the Bible does not say that God is a woman or that the holy spirit is a woman or that Jesus is a woman even if they are three different beings and as far as I know according to the Bible they are one God it is one being.
How did you change your mind as a church about going to Doctors? By whose authority did you change that?
Thank you pastor
I just left the Methodist Church because they do not have any authority of what to believe nor any desire to get to God’s truth when there is disagreement (which requires authority).
Came here looking for the one true church.
He said that the word of God is the final authority. And then talked about how COG interprets the Bible. He is teaching by Tradition without any Authority.
So far Catholic Church seems to have the very best system by taking into account Sacred Scripture (primary) AND Sacred Tradition - passing down the interpretations of how to live out Sacred Scripture as it has been held from the very earliest days of Christianity (before people started messing with doctrines). It depends on the Magisterium (priests and Bishops) to hammer out any changes to doctrine. These changes happen VERY SELDOM! Which makes sense if it is the TRUTH!
I encourage you to get the Catholic Catechism and check it all out for yourself. This document combines Sacred Scripture and Tradition into a beautiful document so that you know exactly what the church believes.
You should check out church of God Restoration
@@willoshea925 Why? What is their claim of authority?
@@PatrickSteil They believe that they are in the line of prophecy and in apostolic authority. They go to the scriptures but believe that apostles in our day have authority as the ambassadors of Christ.
When you read the books of the New Testament you have probably asked yourself many times: "Why is it that for 2000 years we have not seen the miracles that accompanied the Church of Christ in the first century as the New Testament describes them? Why is it that so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed, while atheists have the audacity to deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Church of Christ ceased to exist after the first century. There is no Church as it is described in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other Christian sects, claiming to be the Church, but not having that one thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic only for the Church of Christ - the backing of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mk 16:15-20). That is why part of the researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and part of them do not mind to declare Him a real person, but an ordinary philosopher, a teacher. But even if Jesus was an ordinary philosopher, His disciples would have been ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not have dared to write about the miracles that not only Jesus but also His disciples could perform. If in our time there were a Church as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed - healing the sick, prophesying, raising the dead - no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then all over the world there would be the same disputes as in the first century - Jesus is the Son of God or a false prophet who seduces the world with miracles.
Find on youtube the message *"The Mystery of the Church of Christ"* . It reveals the prophecy of the disappearance and reappearance of the Church of Christ before the End of the World, giving hope to all who are sincerely seeking God and who are not lazy to think freely.
Hey buddy
Denomination means name
Your church has a name
You are a denomination
Does anyone know of a pentecoastal church that doeant believe jesus is God?
There are some Pentecostal denominations that are ''Jesus Only'' which almost all mainstream denomination teach is false doctrine and a misunderstanding of the God in scripture. But ''oneness'' is not a doctrine in mainstream Pentecostal denominations. Think when Jesus was baptized the Father speaks from heaven, the Spirit is desending in the air, and Jesus is in the water so God as we know Him was in three different spaces and forms at the same time. A lot of church won't tell you they believe Jesus isn't God but you find that in certain cults but occasionally it's is believed and taught in mainstream churches sadly.
@@psc502 my understanding of the Holy Trinty is Father ,Son and Holy Spirit where as the oneness is a Hologram God which is projected from God and this is the major difference between The Holy God of the Bible
Thank.god.for.old.time.bible.salvation.
If you have to get saved again because you sin do you have to get baptized again?
Read first John chapter 1 and read the book of James it will tell you what is going on.
Water baptism is just telling God in front of other people or in front of someone that you are okay with God using his forgiveness through his blood to give you the holy Spirit to help you become more like him it is has nothing to do with you never ever sinning again. What you do instead is plead the blood confess your sin and plead the blood and ask him to help you try again even if the sin is rebellion do not let Satan condemn you for it being the sin of rebellion rebellion is definitely something you do not want to be stuck in however rebellion is a sin in God's blood can cover it if you ask him to help you stop you can even tell him you don't want to stop in to help him help you want to want to stop it that'll work too.
D. S. Warner, the founder of this movement, taught a sin-free life after salvation. Someone asked him the same question about rebaptism. Here is the question and response from D. S. Warner:
If a person has been baptized and falls away from grace, when he gets back, must he be baptized again?
Your brother,
R. H. Owens
If a person is simply overthrown of Satan, but never gives up Christ to live in sin, such need not be re-baptized. But if they cast away all faith and profession and go back to live in sin, they undo their baptism and everything, and on being restored should do their first works and be baptized.
@David Mwaura Jesus said
He who endures till the end shall be saved
You may say speaking in tongues isn't necessary for the believers but I beg to differ because of my experience when I was 16. I am now 61. To me that is BLASPHEMY!
what is the church of GOD movement? is this mountain assembly.prophecy.Cleveland
No, we are associated with those who had traditionally held offices in Anderson, IN.
no
Obviously I truly loved the Church of God however as of now and I don't know if I actually will be I am not stirred corrected yet that you have to speak in tongues in order to be aware that you have the indwelling of the holy Spirit. Other than that the rest of their core beliefs the five core beliefs that are different the rest of them other than the Tums then all the other Christians I agree with because of what the Bible says and only because of what the Bible says.
What I meant to say is awesome now and I have yet to be stood corrected when I say that you do not have to speak in tongues in order to know that you have the holy ghost in order to know you have the holy ghost is if you have it. Speaking in tongues is only one of the ways and not everybodyhas been able to speak in tongues even though they can because they have the holy ghost.

The Roman Catholic Church
The Roman catholic organization teaches purgatory....simply put, a denial of christ sufficient atonement. See Gal 2:21
@@againstthepope2362 everyone in purgatory is
SAVED by Jesus. I guess u were sick the day they taught that in Catholic schools.
You’re welcome.

Pick up your cross and follow me

“Unity is found in Jesus”
But it isn’t. We have thousands of denominations. That isn’t unity. If there is ONE God there should be ONE Truth. In order to have one truth there HAS to be an authority. The Bible can’t be that authority - on what authority did it create itself? The Catholic Church is the authority who defined the Cannon we take for granted as Scripture.
Patrick, I'm a former Catholic. The Catholic Church is now embracing homosexual marriage, worship of "Pacha Mama" and a rejection of the necessity of Christ. Open your heart to Gods word.
@@JohnH204 I don’t think you understood the role of the Pope. The person of the Pope doesn’t define Truth. The position of the Pope along with the magisterium AND Sacred Scripture and most importantly Sacred Tradition defines Truth. Today’s Pope cannot change any teaching of the Catholic Church that has been true for 2000+ years. I have witnessed many Catholic priests and Bishops including our local Priest say this exactly so I am not worried.
How do you depend on any other church to profess “The Truth”?
@@PatrickSteil I depend on God's Word the Holy Bible and the Holy Spirit. Not a confusing system of Pope / magisterium / scripture and tradition. If the Pope is chosen by divine inspiration of the Papal conclave why do they so consistently make terrible choices...? The RCC dramatically overhauled their practice and doctrine after Vatican Council 2.0. so the idea that it can not change is patently false.
@@JohnH204 Sorry for the late reply, lol.
You depend on the Holy Bible and the Holy Spirit. But that Holy Bible tells us that the Church is the pillar and foundation of Truth. It never tells you to depend on the Bible Alone - that is a man made invention. It is false and it is what has caused you to have your beliefs, to disagree with so many other "Christians" and think that that is ok.
If there is ONE God who is the author of the ONE Truth, there should be ONE Church. I would encourage you to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church - it is the most beautiful doctrinal work I have ever seen. It is amazing.
Are these people 7 day advanyest
No.
Sola scriptura can only ever create endless denominations. Proof? The last 500 years.
The speaker saud that, they will be all in heaven, but the Bible teach the people will inherit the hearth.
C
He speaks out of both sides of his mouth. Everything that he has described sounds like a denomination.
He also says he believes in security BUT not eternal security 🤯
I read a Church of God website and you can be affiliated.
The fact that they have no official creed immediately will bring about division because if no one can speak on behalf for what the church of God believes then anyone can develop a belief and claim it to be church of God and it will of necessity bring about division. The fact that he is presenting beliefs of the church of God is showing that they do have a creed, it's just not written but oral. He also doesn't seem to understand that the church of God has separated themselves because he says "here are the baptists, methodists, presbyterians; why don't we just be one body?" He doesn't seem to understand that the baptists are one body, the methodists also and so are the presbyterians. If they have no core set of doctrines with which to align themselves, and a creed just lays it out on paper, then there will be people who will come to different conclusions.
Church is not really a “movement”
I thought they were pentecoastal ooops
The Pentecostal church of God is the one in that started out of Tennessee.This one designates them as the Anderson IN church of God and they are two seperate denominations or types of church organisations.
How can you explain a God so Powerful that he creates the universe and everything in it, but needs mortal to follow him. Sacrilege,
He doesn't need any one. God created man to fellowship with.
