Pentecostal churches are understood or intend to be known as “Holy bible Christians”, “Holy bible thinking churches”, and doing everything making use of the Holy bible as the sole Authority in Christian matters. Every minute of their days are invested reviewing the scriptures. They quote 2 Tim 3:16 “All scriptures is inspired by God as well as works for teaching the fact, ticking off mistake, fixing faults and also providing direction for right living.
They accuse various other churches, specifically the Catholic church of not being Holy bible thinking, Bible Christians, as well as refraining from doing whatever according to the Holy bible. Millions of Catholics have joined them as a result.
Nonetheless, a closer and also cautious study of the Pentecostal program that they are not what they seem to depict. They are not as Bible believing as they claim, nor are they Scriptures Christians greater than Catholic, neither do they do whatever with the scriptures as sole authority as they state.
They are numerous points that Pentecostals do that are not in the Bible, much more ignore Scriptures commands, facts as well as instructions amongst Pentecostals. Even the direct orders of Jesus Christ, our Lord, are not complied with by them.
Many characteristics of the church, mentioned in the New Testimony are not found amongst Pentecostal churches. I have thought of this issue for as long that I have actually chosen to share it with various other catholic as well as likewise Pentecostals.
Below are most of the important things Pentecostal do, that are not in the Bible and also those in the Bible they do not do. I really hope that Catholics and also Pentecostals will certainly learn from this and also alter appropriately.
PHANTOMS
It appear weird that a church that claims christian bible the Bible as its origin and a wealth of the Holy Ghost gifts within them, do not record phantoms. Jesus Christ appeared to St. Paul in a phantom, which converted Paul and drew spirits to Christ, Acts 9:1 -23 Moses and Elijah Mt. 17:1 -8, showed up to Jesus, Peter, James as well as John to confirm that Christ was the expected one. Lk 9:28 -36, Angels appeared to Mary Lk 1:26, to introduce the resulting Jesus Christ. The same to John the Baptist’s papa. Phantoms are hence a fundamental part of the Christian belief as well as scriptures, as they represent crucial events as well as messages.
Given that the start of the Pentecostal churches, they have actually been no apparitions and apparition messages.
In the Catholic Church phantoms of Virgin Mary, God, Jesus Christ, the Saints and also Angels are a lot of. Such devotions as the Brown scapular, the amazing medal, the sacred heart, Devine mercy, are very popular, and were as a result of apparitions from a God that does not change.
PRAYING OUT LOUD IN GROUP
Nobody prayed aloud in groups, all at the same time, thus triggering disorder in prayer, in the Scriptures St. Paul warns versus problem in Christian worship. 1 Cor. 14:26 -36. The Baal prophets prayed in such a way. 1 Kgs 18:28 -29.
HOMOSEXUALITY
In the U.S.A, some Pentecostal churches wed homosexuals, they joined them in their churches, of recent the Anglican Church in England has done the same. See what bible claims” in the same way the guys give up all-natural sexual intercourses with ladies and also shed with passion for each various other, and therefore, they bring upon themselves the punishment they are entitled to for their incorrect doing. Rom. 1:27, Lev. 18:22, Lev. 20:13, an offense that draws in death penalty in the days of Moses.
