You are the Joe Friday of the church world, deep investigation followed by a "Just The Facts" dissection of what you've found, no commentary or filler. Kudos! 🙂
I'm not a Pentecostal but I had the pleasure of attending an AFC service at their 'mother church' in Portland. It was a beautiful service and the music was amazing.
I have watched a number of their videos on YT, and you are right, the music is amazing...they have a large organ, a piano, a full orchestra which includes a harpist, and a large choir. Plus, their sermons are very Christ-centered. i haven't watched all of their videos by any means, but I appreciate the beautiful services I have watched. I have noticed much of their congregational singing is hymns, some of which I have not heard sung in years.
Once, at least ONCE to witness a recording of Tongues interpreted into an actual language would be phenomenal. Alas - this hasn’t occurred although Pentecostal meetings are recorded world wide every day yet not ONE instance of Tongues and interpretation has occurred. Not once. Ask yourself why.
Have you ever been to a camp meeting there? As a child my family would always meet up there. My older brother is still a minister for that church. 52nd and Duke is a very nice area of Portland.
I have personally heard a teenage girl who said she knew no Spanish at all pray in fluent Spanish. At the same meeting I heard a person praying in fluent German, which I recognized although my German was nowhere near as fluent to translate. Same meeting an older lady standing next to me was praying in a beautiful, fluent tongue that I didn’t recognize. When she finished praying, her husband who was a seminary professor said, “That was a beautiful prayer, dear- would you like to know what you said?” She said, “ How do you know what I said? “ He answered, “Because you were praying in fluent Ancient Greek, and that’s what I teach!” She did not know Greek, much less Ancient Greek, but the translation he gave was indeed beautiful. A great book to read is “They Speak With Other Tongues” by John and Elizabeth Sherrill, who started out with scepticism as they researched the tongues phenomenon in the 1960’s.
Bobby my brother, does it not seem odd that a wife doesn't know what her husband teaches at the University? I'm not saying she should know what language she was speaking, just that she should know that he is a Professor of Ancient Greek. I know that my Grandfather was a professor of Law
@@bonniemoerdyk9809 The woman had no idea what language she was speaking, as she had never spoken it before. When you are baptized in the Spirit, you speak in a tongue unknown to you. The German speaker did not know German. The young girl praying that beautiful Spanish prayer did not know any Spanish. I do not understand my own tongue, although at times the Holy Spirit has given me the translation to share. The genuine thing is of God, but there are certainly frauds, many frauds.
@@bonniemoerdyk9809 If her husband had prayed in Ancient Greek it would not have been an unknown tongue, because he knew that language. She had no idea what language she was speaking in, which made it an unknown tongue for her. If your husband taught advanced math in a college, would that mean that you understood advanced math? I don’t think so. I think you should look for the delightful book by John and Elizabeth Sherrill, They Speak With Other Tongues. Amazon probably has some used copies- it’s a great read.
@@BobbychildreeWell, most hold that the baptism in the spirit is not always evidenced by tongues, as Paul says "not all will speak in tongues", regardless I've heard of very similar occurrences, not in prayer, but In preaching missions.
@@SeanWinters Yes, I’m aware of that. But I tend to prefer the teachings of Dr. Derek Prince from the 1960’s and 1970’s. He taught that there are public tongues- a gift to others in the assembly, and private tongues- the least of the gifts, for the personal edification of the believer. If one believes that there are believers who need no personal edification from the Holy Spirit, I suppose they would believe that not all are promised this least of gifts. On the other hand, if one should simply refuse the least of the gifts, perhaps the Holy Spirit might simply withhold the “ more excellent gifts.” The study of the gifts of the Spirit in Romans and 1 Corinthians, and probably other places, is always interesting. A bit confusing to those who are Cessationists, but always interesting. I personally think the latter rain of Joel’s prophecy started in the middle of last century, but Satan was able to sabotage it rather thoroughly with all his counterfeits. I have seen way too many counterfeits in my life, and seem to be seeing even more today. My heart has always longed for that true fellowship of the Holy Spirit, but I don’t think I have seen it except perhaps in passing, sadly. Too much flesh, too many counterfeits! May you find it, my brother!
The more I listen to this, the more biblically solid their doctrine sounds. Even so, there are some things I was listening for but have not heard. But kudos for what I did hear!
@@Bobbychildree Sorry, cant sit thru that diatribe again. Lots of it is true scripture, but its just, in the end, just another hollow sect. Why dont you give me the time stamp. Between you and me, that should have been the central topic. There is nothing more pressing. Do you agree? I dont remember hearing that. Thats how much they talked ABOUT IT.
Can I put in a request for the Pilgrim Holiness Church? I’ve seen a few in my hometown of Cincinnati. Was curious if you knew anything about them. God bless!
When using the term "Apostolic Faith Church" this can also be used to describe some churches in the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World (PAW), Church of our Lord Jesus Christ (COOLJC), etc. The differences are significant, such as baptism is Jesus name (Acts 2:38), and rejection of the Trinity, this should help explain some of the comments 😅
Acts 2 is the ONLY one example out of several others where the speaking in tongues were languages understood by the observers. In Acts 8, 10, and 19 the speaking in tongues is not said to have been understood by the observers.
Took a denomination quiz to see which I align with most (I’m independent baptist right now) and I most aligned with three self patriotic movement. Never heard of it thought maybe it would be a good video idea for you to do!
I'm assuming this is a joke on your part but, just in case it isn't, the Three-Self Patriotic Movement is the state-sanctioned Government-controlled church under the Chinese Communist Party in mainland China.
For working in this area of denominational history, pick up a copy of Vinson Synan's (Pentecostal historian) original edition of The Holiness-Pentecostal Movement in the United States, Eerdmans, 1971. It's both scholarly and fair...which was a rarity for a historical account. (I don't understand why you, Joshua, select obscure, smaller denominations rather than a broader sweep of denominational history. 🤔)
He’s covered more mainstream denominations in-depth in earlier/other videos. He’s already covered Pentecostals like the Assemblies of God, Church of God in Christ, the Foursquare Church, etc.; both Finished Work Pentecostals and Holiness-Pentecostals; and non-Pentecostal Charismatic denominations like Calvary Chapel, Vineyard Association, Christian and Missionary Alliance, etc.
The Church of God in Christ (COGIC) is the largest most well known historically African American-majority Pentecostal denomination in the United States with an additional presence in the Caribbean and West Africa; it is also one of the denominational direct descendants of the Azusa Street Revival; it is a Holiness Pentecostal denomination. The Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA) is a broadly Evangelical denomination in the Higher Life movement. The Assemblies of God (AG) was founded as an outgrowth of a merger between several Finished Work Pentecostals groups in the Church of God in Christ, Christian and Missionary Alliance, and various other denominations, including those of Reformed and Baptist traditions. It has a presence world wide through its regional and country-specific sub-divisions. The Foursquare Church is another Finished Work Pentecostal denomination that grew out of the Assemblies of God and has a larger presence on the West Coast of the United States. Calvary Chapel is a broadly Evangelical non-Pentecostal Charismatic denomination that grew out of the Pentecostal denomination known as the Foursquare Church, although it has historical Pentecostal origins, it is no longer Pentecostal due to its opposition to the Initial Evidence doctrine. It has a large presence in the U.S. West Coast and is well known for their missionary work among the Hippies, anti-war movement, and borderline-irreligious nominal Christians disaffected by Mainline Protestants and Fundamentalists during the Cold War, Vietnam War, and the 20th Century. The others though aren’t as well known.
There are clearly three types of tongues mentioned in Scripture, Acts chapter 2 where they spoke in another language, two; Paul talking about his private prayer language and three in group worship with another person interpreting.
One type. Pentecostals invent other types to reflect their practice of not using real languages: For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. That doesn't mean tongues is for prayer. Just the opposite.
@@jamesreed5678 In 1 Corinthians 12 Paul lays out the phanerosis of the Spirit, the manifestations of his presence. He ends the chapter by telling us to "earnestly desire the best gifts, then spends chapter 13 telling us that none of it matters if we don't walk in agape,. covenant love. Then he opens chapter 14 up by saying... "Follow after covenant love, and desire pneumatikos, but especially that you might prophesy. For he who speaks in tongues doesn't speak to men, but to God, because no man understands him; however, in the Spirit he speaks mysteries" I wrote verse 2 as an overview of how the 32 translations I read it in this morning say it. Oddly enough, it means exactly the same thing if you research it in Greek. When someone is speaking in tongues, no one understands it but God. So this begs the question... How did men from 14 regions all hear the disciples speaking the wonderful works of God in their native tongues? This requires actual thought on the situation, for there are two camps as to who was in the upper room that Pentecost day. Some say only the Twelve were there. If that's true, then the people of 14 regions, each with their own native tongue, heard 12 men speak exclusively in their language... Even Common Core math can't make 12=14. Then there's those who say the 120 disciples that were mentioned in Acts 1:15 were there, which means that the 3,000 + men that came to see what had happened and subsequently heard God's works spoken clearly in their language were able to discern their particular language from 120 or so people shouting ecstatic utterances all at once. Either way it took a miracle of hearing from God to make them able to hear the Gospel in their language, the first instance of Interpretation of Tongues in Acts. Some may say that's malarkey, but we're talking about the God who was able to make the footsteps of four hungry lepers sound like Doom's Own Army to the Syrians besieging Samaria. (2 Kings 7:3-7) God said through Paul that NO MAN understands when a believer speaks in tongues. Only Holy Ghost granting a manifestation of Interpretation of Tongues makes it possible. That's what has happened every time from Pentecost to today. Paul mentioned this singular truth, that no man understands tongues, even the speaker, without Interpretation of Tongues, several times in 1 Corinthians 14. The Bible means what it says. This chapter is no different. Did you notice that Paul and Jude agree that speaking in tongues builds us up in our faith? (1 Cor 14:4; Jude 20) This agrees with Isaiah 28:11-12 - tongues is the Rest that God gave us in Christ, a way for us to be refreshed from above as we speak with "stammering lips and another tongue". How is a "sign to unbelievers"? Through my wonderful Father having Holy Ghost interpret what those speaking in tongues are saying to unbelievers who may hear. If he didn't do that, as Paul said, they would think we're "off our meds".
@@jamesreed5678 Well, my first reply was taken down. I read 1 Corinthians 14:2 in 32 translations this morning and also studied the Greek to be sure - when someone speaks in tongues, no one understands what is said but God. That means the 3,000+ men who heard either 12 or 120 people speaking in ecstatic utterances by the Spirit in such a manner as to be considered drunk... And still had each listener hear the magnificent works of God in their native tongues... Could only do it through God granting each of them the manifestation of Interpretation of Tongues. So is it in every instance where someone speaks in tongues and those listening hear a known language.
Fun fact: Paryss Brianne, the female bodybuilder, is a member of the Apostolic Faith Church and does not post non-religious videos on Sundays but instead goes to a Bible study livestream with his mainliner boyfriend.
WHAT!?!? Churches observe Christmas, Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter!?!?? Is that it? What happened to Pentecost? ?!?! They’ve forgotten the roots of their own movement!
Good question. What does the Bible tell us? Well, every time we see an angel speaking it knows the language of the person it is talking to. So biblically, it appears that the "tongue of angels" is speaking the language of the hearer, whoever they are. This also corresponds with Pentecost, where every man hear what was said in his own language. Of course, if there is a Biblically supported different view, it's worth considering too.
@@convertedsinner9536 But does that mean that the angels are only able to speak in human languages❓. They were around before humans - what did they speak then❓
@@jeffking4176 Humans didn't invent human language. Adam spoke a language that God gave him to start with. (Some have claimed it to be an ancient form of Hebrew but no evidence for that.)
The speaking in " tongues" in Acts ch.2 and 1Corinthians is actually one spiritual language spoken by more than one believer at a time. In Acts ch.2 the miracle for the men in the crowd wasn't that the believers were all speaking in their native languages. It was all the believers speaking in one spiritual language and those in the crowd Hearing what they were saying in their individual native languages. The Word alerts us to the fact by repeating that the men were wondered three times how they were hearing what the believers were saying in their native languages. This is a sign unto unbelievers, the men in the crowd.
I'm always a bit iffy when a church is KJV only. And even though I'm a Creationist for personal reasons, I don't like it when a denomination denies scientific evidence, under the pretense that it somehow is a denial of God.
@@timnewman1172 Really? Because I know KJV only churches where the pastors and elders are the pinnacle of scholarship in Greek. Dr. Peter S. Ruckman when he was alive, Dr. Sam Gipp, quite a few more

I remember that I found a ministry online back in 2012 which distributed several of their works for free.

They even have a New Testament version called "Recovery Version".

Given that there are probably thousands of languages that have died out, how would one determine that some tongue is just jibberish? Or how would one know the interpretation of that tongue was just made up? Also, what are "Heavenly languages?"
And if you had a valid interpretation and it were real speech a linguist could transcribe the speech in the lost language and start working out the vocabulary and grammar. Obviously this won't work on nonsense and that is how you would know.
Wow. You do your homework. Nicely edited and professionally explained! Thanks. As a Roman Catholic, I am always interested in others' versions of their walk in Faith. Unhappily, they always miss the Real Presence of Christ in the Breaking of the Bread. Don't know why; but, they all do.
Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” Upon hearing these words, many of Jesus’ followers said, “This is a hard teaching” (verse 60), and many of them actually stopped following Him that day (verse 66). Jesus’ graphic imagery about eating His flesh and drinking His blood is indeed puzzling at first. Context will help us understand what He is saying. As we consider everything that Jesus said and did in John 6, the meaning of His words becomes clearer. Earlier in the chapter, Jesus fed the 5,000 (John 6:1-13). The next day, the same multitudes continued to follow Him, seeking another meal. Jesus pointed out their short-sightedness: they were only seeking physical bread, but there was something more important: “Food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you” (verse 27). At this point, Jesus attempts to turn their perspective away from physical sustenance to their true need, which was spiritual. This contrast between physical food and spiritual food sets the stage for Jesus’ statement that we must eat His flesh and drink His blood. Jesus explains that it is not physical bread that the world needs, but spiritual bread. Jesus three times identifies Himself as that spiritual bread (John 6:35, 48, 51). And twice He emphasizes faith (a spiritual action) as the key to salvation: “My Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life” (verse 40); and “Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life” (verse 47). Jesus then compares and contrasts Himself to the manna that Israel had eaten in the time of Moses: “Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die” (John 6:49-50). Like manna, Jesus came down from heaven; and, like manna, Jesus gives life. Unlike manna, the life Jesus gives lasts for eternity (verse 58). In this way, Jesus is greater than Moses (see Hebrews 3:3). Having established His metaphor (and the fact that He is speaking of faith in Him), Jesus presses the symbolism even further: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh. . . . I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life. . . . My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. . . . Anyone who feeds on me will live because of me” (John 6:51-56, NLT). To prevent being misconstrued, Jesus specifies that He has been speaking metaphorically: “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you-they are full of the Spirit and life” (John 6:63). Those who misunderstood Jesus and were offended by His talk about eating His flesh and drinking His blood were stuck in a physical mindset, ignoring the things of the Spirit. They were concerned with getting another physical meal, so Jesus uses the realm of the physical to teach a vital spiritual truth. Those who couldn’t make the jump from the physical to the spiritual turned their backs on Jesus and walked away (verse 66). At the Last Supper, Jesus gives a similar message and one that complements His words in John 6-when the disciples gather to break bread and drink the cup, they “proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (1 Corinthians 11:26). In fact, Jesus said that the bread broken at the table is His body, and the cup they drink is the new covenant in His blood, shed for the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:26-28). Their act of eating and drinking was to be a symbol of their faith in Christ. Just as physical food gives earthly life, Christ’s sacrifice on the cross gives heavenly life. Some people believe that the bread and wine of communion are somehow transformed into Jesus’ actual flesh and blood, or that Jesus somehow imbues these substances with His real presence. These ideas, called transubstantiation (professed by the Catholic and Orthodox churches) and consubstantiation (held by Lutherans), ignore Jesus’ statement that “the flesh counts for nothing” (John 6:63). The majority of Protestants understand that Jesus was speaking metaphorically about His flesh and blood and hold that the bread and wine are symbolic of the spiritual bond created with Christ through faith. In the wilderness testing, the devil tempts Jesus with bread, and Jesus answers, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God’” (Matthew 4:4, quoting Deuteronomy 8:3). The implication is that the bread is God’s Word and that is what sustains us. Jesus is called the Word of God who came to earth and was made flesh (John 1:14). The Word of God is also the Bread of Life (John 6:48). The book of Hebrews references the way that God uses the physical things of this earth as a way to help us understand and apply spiritual truth. Hebrews 8:5 says that some tangible things are “a copy and shadow of what is in heaven,” and that chapter explains how the Old Covenant, so concerned with physical rites and ceremonies, was replaced by the New Covenant in which God’s laws are written on our hearts (verse 10; cf. Jeremiah 31:33). Hebrews 9:1-2 says, “The first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place.” According to Hebrews 8:5, the consecrated bread, or the “bread of the Presence,” was a physical representation of a spiritual concept, namely, the actual presence of God being continually with us today. The physical tent of meeting has been replaced by a spiritual temple of God (1 Corinthians 3:16), and the physical bread of the Presence has become the spiritual bread that abides within us through the Holy Spirit. When Jesus said we must “eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood” (John 6:53), He spoke, as He often did, in parabolic terms. We must receive Him by faith (John 1:12). “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6). We understand that we need physical food and drink; Jesus wants us to understand that we also need spiritual food and drink-and that is what His sacrifice provides.
Ummm.... let's review. Correct me if I'm wrong. Catholics proclaim the bread and wine used for Communion, to "change" from bread and wine by the Church's own power when it is presented...to then be actually Christ's blood and flesh ( "Transubstantiation", correct?). Very similar, it seems from the Lutheran belief that the bread and wine being presented *IS* the body and blood of Christ (Luke 22:19-20... Jesus says the bread IS is body...and the wine IS his blood). The only difference is the biblical literal translation used by Lutherans (*IS* means "*IS, it doesn't mean to them "represents")....wheras the Catholics come to same end-game, by the church's power to CHANGE the bread and wine to blood and body. In the end....it's the same thing being presented to the believer. I think Lutheran and Catholics are the only 2 denominations claiming "Real Presence" that you refer to.
I'm curious whether the "altar call" brings them up to an _actual altar,_ or if they strongly deny that the table used in the sanctuary is an _altar,_ because they deny the sacrificial nature of Holy Communion? I'm also curious how often the spontaneous speaking in other known languages occurs. That would seem to be an objectively testable thing, unlike "prayer language" glossolalia.
in an old pentecostal church i went to as a child as well as a baptist church i went to later on, it means to go up to the front of the room and kneel on the floor.
The “altar”, in this sense, is spiritual. This “Altar Call” is when people are called, [ or compelled by the Holy Spirit], to the front of the church [ building]. To pray and get prayed for. This “going “ to the “altar “, is looked at as someone “going “ to God, rather that just waiting for God to come to them. As far as Speaking in tongues, it depends on the church. It happens more often than not in some [ as “tongues- with an interpretation]. And is usually a warning with an encouragement. There is also “praying in tongues “, which is different. But whatever, must be done in an orderly manner. My experience is that [ when it’s real], the Pastor will recognize that the Holy Spirit wishes to move in such a manner, and will create a time for something. He will usually end his sentence- speaking, and wait on the Lord. This is where there are definite rules regarding it. When it is real, it tends to convict, and cause hearts to be broken. Often this can lead to people , on their own, moving to the “altar “. And prayer can take the rest of the service. Hope this helps you to understand. ✝️🙏🙂
@@jeffking4176: Thanks for the reply. Re: the second part of your reply: Do I understand correctly that... (a.) speaking in tongues happens more often than not; (b.) the "tongues" in question _are_ (as stated in the video) known human languages; (c.) the person speaking has been reasonably verified to _not_ have prior training/experience in the known human language that's emerging from their lips; and, (d.) someone who _does_ know that language is present to provide the interpretation (and thereby indirectly verify that, yes, it's a known human language being spoken correctly) ...? That would indeed seem noteworthy. But it would also seem odd to me that a congregation who mostly speak Language X would happen to have, among their number, a tongues-speaker who _doesn't_ know Language Y, but who starts speaking in Language Y by the Holy Spirit ...and also, in the same congregation, another person who _does_ know Language Y, and is thus able to translate for the tongues-speaker. Such an arrangement can happen, of course! ...but all other things being equal, it seems unlikely to happen _regularly,_ let alone "more often than not." Or am I misunderstanding your description?
The Apostolic Church I used to attend (Thankfully the Lord showed me the truth and called me out of that Church) believed in Modalism which is heresy! And also speaking in tongues without interpreting
Still amazes me, as i was brought up Catholic and am now Jewish, how the pre-eminent difference is that as a Jew, I don't ascribe to the concept that I (or my soul) was born 'broken'. If that is the case, then God cannot be perfect. Nor can I conceive of a manner in which another human can vicariously absolve my soul, so imploring, or even preventing a non-believing person from potentially doing irreparable harm to themselves in a believer's view is sinful in my eyes. Lastly, why is it that faiths that look upon the Wedding Feast of Cana as the Lord's first miracle (water to wine) such abolitionists when it comes to alcohol. After all, consumption of that wine was under strict Rabbinic supervision (Christ himself), was it not?
The world does so hate the biblical teaching in genesis that in Adam we all fell into sin. The human heart is inclined to evil. Redemption comes when you realise that you sin consistently everyday and that you cannot save yourself and that is why God sent Jesus Christ to become your atonement and free gift of righteousness for you so that you may be reconciled to God and all he requires from you is to believe.
@@leawilliams8476 This still does not answer the question as to why a perfect being such as G*d would create imperfection. But then I guess Christianity requires vicarious sin to be redeemed by vicarious suffering/absolution. How is this preferable to G*d than they creating every soul a tabla rasa. This is the same mentality that buttressed the BLM movement - that all non-Africans are inherently racist solely because of how someone else's forefathers acted generations ago.

Paul Said He Spoke "With The Tongues Of Men & Angels". Which The Greek Named "Known Tongues (of men) And Unknown Tongues (of angels)". The "Known Tongues" Of Men Must Have A Translator Of The Known Origin In The Languages Of Men. Translating The Word For Word Account Of God's Message To Men Of Certain Languages. Which They Translate Back To The Speaker. As On The Day Of Pentecost. While "The Unknown Tongues" Of Angels Must Have An Interpreter With "The Gift Of Interpreting Tongues". Which Interprets The Intent Of God's Message For Others. From One Given "The Gift Of Interpreting Tongues" As Well. Or One With Only "The Gift Of Tongues" May "Pray To Interpret" The Intent Of From God For Their Self. As Paul Said.
So many women seam to take on the leadership of churches yet the scripture tell us this is wrong yet they making many arguments that the scripture dose not mean they should be silent in the church one thing they can’t change is that they have to be the husband of one wife.

"Words, sentences, and even entire verses in the King James Version were removed in the Revised Version." Entire books were removed in the Revised Version: the KJV contained the Deuterocanon until the 1885 revision.
Imagine being dishonest enough to call your made up heterodox movement "apostolic" even though it has nothing to do with the teachings and traditions the apostles received and passed down. I don't think "apostolic" means what they think it means. It seems that new movements that call themselves Apostolic are about as far from apostolic as one can get.
Strange how some women take over and start a church whereas St. Paul says that women should remain silent and if they have a question, they should ask their husbands.
Paul was responding to problems within certain churches (Ephesus and Corinth) at the time of writing. His writings on women’s submission and silence taken literally and without such context goes directly against Jesus’ teachings and interactions with women.
Satan has millions of people deceived. My Bible just like yours say the same thing. Ephesians 5:1-7 AMP [1] Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; [2] and walk continually in love [that is, value one another-practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance. [3] But sexual immorality and all [moral] impurity [indecent, offensive behavior] or greed must not even be hinted at among you, as is proper among saints [for as believers our way of life, whether in public or in private, reflects the validity of our faith]. [4] Let there be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse [obscene or vulgar] joking, because such things are not appropriate [for believers]; but instead speak of your thankfulness [to God]. [5] For be sure of this: no immoral, impure, or greedy person-for that one is [in effect] an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God [for such a person places a higher value on something other than God]. [6] Let no one deceive you with empty arguments [that encourage you to sin], for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience [those who habitually sin]. [7] So do not participate or even associate with them [in the rebelliousness of sin].
This is a very shallow teaching on the doctrine of Apostolic/pentecostalism, there is many references in other countries that were Apostolic. They can be cited in multiple historical reference books.
We need a Pentecostal tongue talking holy rolling fire baptized revival to sweep across this nation please set aside time each day to pray specifically for that Pentecostal churches have lost their power and fire they have all become powerless and lukewarm it seems like if you are modern Pentecostal then you probably don't know what a real move of God looks like please pray for Holy Ghost revival

The Bible clearly tells you to be baptized in the name of Jesus and the Bible clearly warns you not to sin. 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 AMP [9] I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate with [sexually] immoral people- [10] not meaning the immoral people of this world, or the greedy ones and swindlers, or idolaters, for then you would have to get out of the world and human society altogether! [11] But actually, I have written to you not to associate with any so-called [Christian] brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater [devoted to anything that takes the place of God], or is a reviler [who insults or slanders or otherwise verbally abuses others], or is a drunkard or a swindler-you must not so much as eat with such a person. [12] For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders (non-believers)? Do you not judge those who are within the church [to protect the church as the situation requires]? [13] God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside [the faith]. Remove the wicked one from among you [expel him from your church].
A Devout Client of Mary Shall Never Suffer the Loss of His Soul There was a certain man who was religious in name only, but, wherever true religion was concerned, hard-hearted and careless. He was, however, in the habit of praying to the Blessed Virgin and saying once everyday a hundred “Hail, Mary’s.” Coming near his end, he was caught away in an ecstasy, and devils charged him before the Great Judge seeking a sentence that would adjudge him to be theirs. God, therefore, knowing his manifold sins, said that he must be condemned. Meantime the Blessed Virgin came offering schedules in which were contained all the “Hail Mary’s,” and begging her Son to allow him to receive a milder sentence. But the devils brought many books full of his sins. ‘The books on both sides were put into the scales, but the sins weighed most. Then the Blessed Virgin, seeing She was doing no good, earnestly besought her Son, saying: “Remember, Beloved, that Thou didst receive of my substance, visible, tangible and sensible substance; give to me one drop of Thy blood shed for sinners in Thy passion.” And he replied: “It is impossible to deny thee anything. Yet know that one drop of my blood weighs heavier than all the sins of the whole world. Receive therefore thy request.” Receiving it, She placed it in the scales, and all those sins of the religious weighed against it as light as ashes.‘Then the devils departed in confusion, crying out and saying: “The Lady is too merciful to Christians; we fail as often as She comes to contend with us.” And so the man’s spirit returned to his body, and on recovery he related the whole tale and became a true monk.

THE name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost is Jesus or Yeshua which means salvation in Hebrew . See Acts 10:48 Sanctification is gifted🎯 but clarified more as it is depending upon abstinence with others or by oneself . 1 Thessalonians 4:3 KJ21 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 1 Corinthians 1:30 KJ21 But because of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness, and sanctification🎯 and redemption,
One lord one faith one baptism. God is spirit, manifests in the flesh of Jesus , through Mary's in swelling of the spirit of God, being made the spiritual sperm of God fertilizing Mary's holy egg. There Jesus who sits only on the right hand of God, is the son of God, however the father, son and holy spirit are one.

Absolutely not true! Apostolic do not believe in the Trinity. They believe in the one this of God! Jesus is the father, Jesus is the son, and Jesus is the Holy Ghost!
The 23 Eastern Rite Catholic Churches are just as Apostolic as the Latin Rite. Also, the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches are considered Apostolic by Rome.
There are Several actually, with different starting points in different decades. There's a Swiss group (1847), and the Portland Oregon group (1907), and of course the one you speak of, among others. Same with my denomination I grew up in: I was Church of God (1881- Anderson, IN) and there is a Churches of God (1825- now Findley OH) and the are several more including the Church of God (1886-Cleaveland TN - Pentecostal). Obviously the last group was not Pentecostal to begin with since Pentecostalism didn't even start till 1901. All this to say that just because a group of believers uses a word such as APOSTOLIC or a group of words such as CHURCH of GOD doesn't mean they are the same group or denomination. Some splinter off from the previous group, some just start up on their own, usually trying to use words they find in Scripture that would please the Lord. Hope that helps! 😊
Another person who somehow thinks that every christian for millenia (including the apostles) were wrong and their sect founded at least 1500 years after Jesus death now has it right.
@@TheExtremeIRON The apostles were not trinitarian according to history. That belief was first found in writings about 200 years later. I have no connection to any sect or church,,, haven't attended church for 30 years. The spirit is leading me into all truth just as Jesus said it would. All you wrote is false.
@MichaelTheophilus906 and? Jesus has the fullness of the Godhead so there's no difference between being baptised in the name of the trinity and the name of Jesus. Its the same authority either way

I'm not a Pentecostal but I had the pleasure of attending an AFC service at their 'mother church' in Portland. It was a beautiful service and the music was amazing.
I have watched a number of their videos on YT, and you are right, the music is amazing...they have a large organ, a piano, a full orchestra which includes a harpist, and a large choir. Plus, their sermons are very Christ-centered. i haven't watched all of their videos by any means, but I appreciate the beautiful services I have watched. I have noticed much of their congregational singing is hymns, some of which I have not heard sung in years.

"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." SAINT JOHN 17:17.
I have personally heard a teenage girl who said she knew no Spanish at all pray in fluent Spanish. At the same meeting I heard a person praying in fluent German, which I recognized although my German was nowhere near as fluent to translate. Same meeting an older lady standing next to me was praying in a beautiful, fluent tongue that I didn’t recognize. When she finished praying, her husband who was a seminary professor said, “That was a beautiful prayer, dear- would you like to know what you said?” She said, “ How do you know what I said? “ He answered, “Because you were praying in fluent Ancient Greek, and that’s what I teach!” She did not know Greek, much less Ancient Greek, but the translation he gave was indeed beautiful. A great book to read is “They Speak With Other Tongues” by John and Elizabeth Sherrill, who started out with scepticism as they researched the tongues phenomenon in the 1960’s.
Bobby my brother, does it not seem odd that a wife doesn't know what her husband teaches at the University? I'm not saying she should know what language she was speaking, just that she should know that he is a Professor of Ancient Greek. I know that my Grandfather was a professor of Law
@@bonniemoerdyk9809 The woman had no idea what language she was speaking, as she had never spoken it before. When you are baptized in the Spirit, you speak in a tongue unknown to you. The German speaker did not know German. The young girl praying that beautiful Spanish prayer did not know any Spanish. I do not understand my own tongue, although at times the Holy Spirit has given me the translation to share. The genuine thing is of God, but there are certainly frauds, many frauds.
@@bonniemoerdyk9809 If her husband had prayed in Ancient Greek it would not have been an unknown tongue, because he knew that language. She had no idea what language she was speaking in, which made it an unknown tongue for her.
If your husband taught advanced math in a college, would that mean that you understood advanced math? I don’t think so.
I think you should look for the delightful book by John and Elizabeth Sherrill, They Speak With Other Tongues. Amazon probably has some used copies- it’s a great read.
@@BobbychildreeWell, most hold that the baptism in the spirit is not always evidenced by tongues, as Paul says "not all will speak in tongues", regardless I've heard of very similar occurrences, not in prayer, but In preaching missions.
@@SeanWinters Yes, I’m aware of that. But I tend to prefer the teachings of Dr. Derek Prince from the 1960’s and 1970’s. He taught that there are public tongues- a gift to others in the assembly, and private tongues- the least of the gifts, for the personal edification of the believer.
If one believes that there are believers who need no personal edification from the Holy Spirit, I suppose they would believe that not all are promised this least of gifts.
On the other hand, if one should simply refuse the least of the gifts, perhaps the Holy Spirit might simply withhold the “ more excellent gifts.”
The study of the gifts of the Spirit in Romans and 1 Corinthians, and probably other places, is always interesting. A bit confusing to those who are Cessationists, but always interesting.
I personally think the latter rain of Joel’s prophecy started in the middle of last century, but Satan was able to sabotage it rather thoroughly with all his counterfeits. I have seen way too many counterfeits in my life, and seem to be seeing even more today. My heart has always longed for that true fellowship of the Holy Spirit, but I don’t think I have seen it except perhaps in passing, sadly. Too much flesh, too many counterfeits!
May you find it, my brother!

When using the term "Apostolic Faith Church" this can also be used to describe some churches in the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World (PAW), Church of our Lord Jesus Christ (COOLJC), etc. The differences are significant, such as baptism is Jesus name (Acts 2:38), and rejection of the Trinity, this should help explain some of the comments 😅

Acts 2 is the ONLY one example out of several others where the speaking in tongues were languages understood by the observers. In Acts 8, 10, and 19 the speaking in tongues is not said to have been understood by the observers.
Greetings, it would be nice to see a video on the fast growing Church organization “First Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ” with Apostle Gino Jennings

For working in this area of denominational history, pick up a copy of Vinson Synan's (Pentecostal historian) original edition of The Holiness-Pentecostal Movement in the United States, Eerdmans, 1971. It's both scholarly and fair...which was a rarity for a historical account. (I don't understand why you, Joshua, select obscure, smaller denominations rather than a broader sweep of denominational history. 🤔)
He’s covered more mainstream denominations in-depth in earlier/other videos. He’s already covered Pentecostals like the Assemblies of God, Church of God in Christ, the Foursquare Church, etc.; both Finished Work Pentecostals and Holiness-Pentecostals; and non-Pentecostal Charismatic denominations like Calvary Chapel, Vineyard Association, Christian and Missionary Alliance, etc.
The Church of God in Christ (COGIC) is the largest most well known historically African American-majority Pentecostal denomination in the United States with an additional presence in the Caribbean and West Africa; it is also one of the denominational direct descendants of the Azusa Street Revival; it is a Holiness Pentecostal denomination.
The Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA) is a broadly Evangelical denomination in the Higher Life movement.
The Assemblies of God (AG) was founded as an outgrowth of a merger between several Finished Work Pentecostals groups in the Church of God in Christ, Christian and Missionary Alliance, and various other denominations, including those of Reformed and Baptist traditions. It has a presence world wide through its regional and country-specific sub-divisions.
The Foursquare Church is another Finished Work Pentecostal denomination that grew out of the Assemblies of God and has a larger presence on the West Coast of the United States.
Calvary Chapel is a broadly Evangelical non-Pentecostal Charismatic denomination that grew out of the Pentecostal denomination known as the Foursquare Church, although it has historical Pentecostal origins, it is no longer Pentecostal due to its opposition to the Initial Evidence doctrine. It has a large presence in the U.S. West Coast and is well known for their missionary work among the Hippies, anti-war movement, and borderline-irreligious nominal Christians disaffected by Mainline Protestants and Fundamentalists during the Cold War, Vietnam War, and the 20th Century.
The others though aren’t as well known.
he does take requests. i find these smaller denoms very interesting personally.
@@leullakew9579 You seem to have got everything figured out.
There are clearly three types of tongues mentioned in Scripture, Acts chapter 2 where they spoke in another language, two; Paul talking about his private prayer language and three in group worship with another person interpreting.
One type. Pentecostals invent other types to reflect their practice of not using real languages: For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also.
That doesn't mean tongues is for prayer. Just the opposite.
@@jamesreed5678Ah, the same chapter where Paul said that no human understands when we speak in tongues, but that we speak directly to God.
@@johngregory4801 "God only knows" is a common expression for what seems to be nonsense. It's not an endorsement.
@@jamesreed5678 In 1 Corinthians 12 Paul lays out the phanerosis of the Spirit, the manifestations of his presence. He ends the chapter by telling us to "earnestly desire the best gifts, then spends chapter 13 telling us that none of it matters if we don't walk in agape,. covenant love. Then he opens chapter 14 up by saying...
"Follow after covenant love, and desire pneumatikos, but especially that you might prophesy.
For he who speaks in tongues doesn't speak to men, but to God, because no man understands him; however, in the Spirit he speaks mysteries"
I wrote verse 2 as an overview of how the 32 translations I read it in this morning say it. Oddly enough, it means exactly the same thing if you research it in Greek. When someone is speaking in tongues, no one understands it but God. So this begs the question...
How did men from 14 regions all hear the disciples speaking the wonderful works of God in their native tongues? This requires actual thought on the situation, for there are two camps as to who was in the upper room that Pentecost day. Some say only the Twelve were there. If that's true, then the people of 14 regions, each with their own native tongue, heard 12 men speak exclusively in their language...
Even Common Core math can't make 12=14.
Then there's those who say the 120 disciples that were mentioned in Acts 1:15 were there, which means that the 3,000 + men that came to see what had happened and subsequently heard God's works spoken clearly in their language were able to discern their particular language from 120 or so people shouting ecstatic utterances all at once.
Either way it took a miracle of hearing from God to make them able to hear the Gospel in their language, the first instance of Interpretation of Tongues in Acts. Some may say that's malarkey, but we're talking about the God who was able to make the footsteps of four hungry lepers sound like Doom's Own Army to the Syrians besieging Samaria. (2 Kings 7:3-7)
God said through Paul that NO MAN understands when a believer speaks in tongues. Only Holy Ghost granting a manifestation of Interpretation of Tongues makes it possible. That's what has happened every time from Pentecost to today. Paul mentioned this singular truth, that no man understands tongues, even the speaker, without Interpretation of Tongues, several times in 1 Corinthians 14.
The Bible means what it says. This chapter is no different. Did you notice that Paul and Jude agree that speaking in tongues builds us up in our faith? (1 Cor 14:4; Jude 20) This agrees with Isaiah 28:11-12 - tongues is the Rest that God gave us in Christ, a way for us to be refreshed from above as we speak with "stammering lips and another tongue". How is a "sign to unbelievers"?
Through my wonderful Father having Holy Ghost interpret what those speaking in tongues are saying to unbelievers who may hear. If he didn't do that, as Paul said, they would think we're "off our meds".
@@jamesreed5678 Well, my first reply was taken down. I read 1 Corinthians 14:2 in 32 translations this morning and also studied the Greek to be sure - when someone speaks in tongues, no one understands what is said but God. That means the 3,000+ men who heard either 12 or 120 people speaking in ecstatic utterances by the Spirit in such a manner as to be considered drunk...
And still had each listener hear the magnificent works of God in their native tongues...
Could only do it through God granting each of them the manifestation of Interpretation of Tongues. So is it in every instance where someone speaks in tongues and those listening hear a known language.
This is the first I have seen how a church stands on Halloween.

Apostle Paul said he "spoke with the tongues of men AND OF ANGELS...". What are the tongues of angels?
Good question. What does the Bible tell us? Well, every time we see an angel speaking it knows the language of the person it is talking to. So biblically, it appears that the "tongue of angels" is speaking the language of the hearer, whoever they are. This also corresponds with Pentecost, where every man hear what was said in his own language.
Of course, if there is a Biblically supported different view, it's worth considering too.

A interesting church to say the least.
The speaking in " tongues" in Acts ch.2 and 1Corinthians is actually one spiritual language spoken by more than one believer at a time.
In Acts ch.2 the miracle for the men in the crowd wasn't that the believers were all speaking in their native languages.
It was all the believers speaking in one spiritual language and those in the crowd Hearing what they were saying in their individual native languages.
The Word alerts us to the fact by repeating that the men were wondered three times how they were hearing what the believers were saying in their native languages.
This is a sign unto unbelievers, the men in the crowd.

Given that there are probably thousands of languages that have died out, how would one determine that some tongue is just jibberish? Or how would one know the interpretation of that tongue was just made up? Also, what are "Heavenly languages?"
Languages follow patterns. If speech has no patterns it cannot be language.
And if you had a valid interpretation and it were real speech a linguist could transcribe the speech in the lost language and start working out the vocabulary and grammar. Obviously this won't work on nonsense and that is how you would know.

As a Roman Catholic, I am always interested in others' versions of their walk in Faith.
Unhappily, they always miss the Real Presence of Christ in the Breaking of the Bread.
Don't know why;
but, they all do.
Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” Upon hearing these words, many of Jesus’ followers said, “This is a hard teaching” (verse 60), and many of them actually stopped following Him that day (verse 66).
Jesus’ graphic imagery about eating His flesh and drinking His blood is indeed puzzling at first. Context will help us understand what He is saying. As we consider everything that Jesus said and did in John 6, the meaning of His words becomes clearer.
Earlier in the chapter, Jesus fed the 5,000 (John 6:1-13). The next day, the same multitudes continued to follow Him, seeking another meal. Jesus pointed out their short-sightedness: they were only seeking physical bread, but there was something more important: “Food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you” (verse 27). At this point, Jesus attempts to turn their perspective away from physical sustenance to their true need, which was spiritual.
This contrast between physical food and spiritual food sets the stage for Jesus’ statement that we must eat His flesh and drink His blood. Jesus explains that it is not physical bread that the world needs, but spiritual bread. Jesus three times identifies Himself as that spiritual bread (John 6:35, 48, 51). And twice He emphasizes faith (a spiritual action) as the key to salvation: “My Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life” (verse 40); and “Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life” (verse 47).
Jesus then compares and contrasts Himself to the manna that Israel had eaten in the time of Moses: “Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die” (John 6:49-50). Like manna, Jesus came down from heaven; and, like manna, Jesus gives life. Unlike manna, the life Jesus gives lasts for eternity (verse 58). In this way, Jesus is greater than Moses (see Hebrews 3:3).
Having established His metaphor (and the fact that He is speaking of faith in Him), Jesus presses the symbolism even further: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh. . . . I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life. . . . My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. . . . Anyone who feeds on me will live because of me” (John 6:51-56, NLT).
To prevent being misconstrued, Jesus specifies that He has been speaking metaphorically: “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you-they are full of the Spirit and life” (John 6:63). Those who misunderstood Jesus and were offended by His talk about eating His flesh and drinking His blood were stuck in a physical mindset, ignoring the things of the Spirit. They were concerned with getting another physical meal, so Jesus uses the realm of the physical to teach a vital spiritual truth. Those who couldn’t make the jump from the physical to the spiritual turned their backs on Jesus and walked away (verse 66).
At the Last Supper, Jesus gives a similar message and one that complements His words in John 6-when the disciples gather to break bread and drink the cup, they “proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (1 Corinthians 11:26). In fact, Jesus said that the bread broken at the table is His body, and the cup they drink is the new covenant in His blood, shed for the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:26-28). Their act of eating and drinking was to be a symbol of their faith in Christ. Just as physical food gives earthly life, Christ’s sacrifice on the cross gives heavenly life.
Some people believe that the bread and wine of communion are somehow transformed into Jesus’ actual flesh and blood, or that Jesus somehow imbues these substances with His real presence. These ideas, called transubstantiation (professed by the Catholic and Orthodox churches) and consubstantiation (held by Lutherans), ignore Jesus’ statement that “the flesh counts for nothing” (John 6:63). The majority of Protestants understand that Jesus was speaking metaphorically about His flesh and blood and hold that the bread and wine are symbolic of the spiritual bond created with Christ through faith.
In the wilderness testing, the devil tempts Jesus with bread, and Jesus answers, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God’” (Matthew 4:4, quoting Deuteronomy 8:3). The implication is that the bread is God’s Word and that is what sustains us. Jesus is called the Word of God who came to earth and was made flesh (John 1:14). The Word of God is also the Bread of Life (John 6:48).
The book of Hebrews references the way that God uses the physical things of this earth as a way to help us understand and apply spiritual truth. Hebrews 8:5 says that some tangible things are “a copy and shadow of what is in heaven,” and that chapter explains how the Old Covenant, so concerned with physical rites and ceremonies, was replaced by the New Covenant in which God’s laws are written on our hearts (verse 10; cf. Jeremiah 31:33).
Hebrews 9:1-2 says, “The first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place.” According to Hebrews 8:5, the consecrated bread, or the “bread of the Presence,” was a physical representation of a spiritual concept, namely, the actual presence of God being continually with us today. The physical tent of meeting has been replaced by a spiritual temple of God (1 Corinthians 3:16), and the physical bread of the Presence has become the spiritual bread that abides within us through the Holy Spirit.
When Jesus said we must “eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood” (John 6:53), He spoke, as He often did, in parabolic terms. We must receive Him by faith (John 1:12). “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6). We understand that we need physical food and drink; Jesus wants us to understand that we also need spiritual food and drink-and that is what His sacrifice provides.
All we can do is pray that they will return to the One True Church
Ummm.... let's review. Correct me if I'm wrong. Catholics proclaim the bread and wine used for Communion, to "change" from bread and wine by the Church's own power when it is presented...to then be actually Christ's blood and flesh ( "Transubstantiation", correct?). Very similar, it seems from the Lutheran belief that the bread and wine being presented *IS* the body and blood of Christ (Luke 22:19-20... Jesus says the bread IS is body...and the wine IS his blood). The only difference is the biblical literal translation used by Lutherans (*IS* means "*IS, it doesn't mean to them "represents")....wheras the Catholics come to same end-game, by the church's power to CHANGE the bread and wine to blood and body. In the end....it's the same thing being presented to the believer. I think Lutheran and Catholics are the only 2 denominations claiming "Real Presence" that you refer to.
I'm curious whether the "altar call" brings them up to an _actual altar,_ or if they strongly deny that the table used in the sanctuary is an _altar,_ because they deny the sacrificial nature of Holy Communion?
I'm also curious how often the spontaneous speaking in other known languages occurs. That would seem to be an objectively testable thing, unlike "prayer language" glossolalia.
in an old pentecostal church i went to as a child as well as a baptist church i went to later on, it means to go up to the front of the room and kneel on the floor.
The “altar”, in this sense, is spiritual. This “Altar Call” is when people are called, [ or compelled by the Holy Spirit], to the front of the church [ building]. To pray and get prayed for. This “going “ to the “altar “, is looked at as someone “going “ to God, rather that just waiting for God to come to them.
As far as Speaking in tongues, it depends on the church. It happens more often than not in some [ as “tongues- with an interpretation]. And is usually a warning with an encouragement.
There is also “praying in tongues “, which is different. But whatever, must be done in an orderly manner. My experience is that [ when it’s real], the Pastor will recognize that the Holy Spirit wishes to move in such a manner, and will create a time for something. He will usually end his sentence- speaking, and wait on the Lord. This is where there are definite rules regarding it. When it is real, it tends to convict, and cause hearts to be broken. Often this can lead to people , on their own, moving to the “altar “. And prayer can take the rest of the service.
Hope this helps you to understand.

Re: the second part of your reply: Do I understand correctly that...
(a.) speaking in tongues happens more often than not;
(b.) the "tongues" in question _are_ (as stated in the video) known human languages;
(c.) the person speaking has been reasonably verified to _not_ have prior training/experience in the known human language that's emerging from their lips;
and,
(d.) someone who _does_ know that language is present to provide the interpretation (and thereby indirectly verify that, yes, it's a known human language being spoken correctly)
...?
That would indeed seem noteworthy.
But it would also seem odd to me that a congregation who mostly speak Language X would happen to have, among their number, a tongues-speaker who _doesn't_ know Language Y, but who starts speaking in Language Y by the Holy Spirit ...and also, in the same congregation, another person who _does_ know Language Y, and is thus able to translate for the tongues-speaker.
Such an arrangement can happen, of course! ...but all other things being equal, it seems unlikely to happen _regularly,_ let alone "more often than not."
Or am I misunderstanding your description?
The Apostolic Church I used to attend (Thankfully the Lord showed me the truth and called me out of that Church) believed in Modalism which is heresy! And also speaking in tongues without interpreting
What happened to the part about tongues being a known language?
1st Corinthians 14. refutes much of tongues. Paul said I’d rather speak 3 words of a known tongue than 10,000 of an unknown tongue.
Still amazes me, as i was brought up Catholic and am now Jewish, how the pre-eminent difference is that as a Jew, I don't ascribe to the concept that I (or my soul) was born 'broken'. If that is the case, then God cannot be perfect. Nor can I conceive of a manner in which another human can vicariously absolve my soul, so imploring, or even preventing a non-believing person from potentially doing irreparable harm to themselves in a believer's view is sinful in my eyes. Lastly, why is it that faiths that look upon the Wedding Feast of Cana as the Lord's first miracle (water to wine) such abolitionists when it comes to alcohol. After all, consumption of that wine was under strict Rabbinic supervision (Christ himself), was it not?
The world does so hate the biblical teaching in genesis that in Adam we all fell into sin. The human heart is inclined to evil. Redemption comes when you realise that you sin consistently everyday and that you cannot save yourself and that is why God sent Jesus Christ to become your atonement and free gift of righteousness for you so that you may be reconciled to God and all he requires from you is to believe.
@@leawilliams8476 This still does not answer the question as to why a perfect being such as G*d would create imperfection. But then I guess Christianity requires vicarious sin to be redeemed by vicarious suffering/absolution. How is this preferable to G*d than they creating every soul a tabla rasa. This is the same mentality that buttressed the BLM movement - that all non-Africans are inherently racist solely because of how someone else's forefathers acted generations ago.

So many women seam to take on the leadership of churches yet the scripture tell us this is wrong yet they making many arguments that the scripture dose not mean they should be silent in the church one thing they can’t change is that they have to be the husband of one wife.
In the last days I will pour out my spirit on all flesh and your sons AND daughters will prophesy. So in short when you baptized in the holy spirit. Your qualified to preach or minister in some way. Hope that explains it
@ no the bible say a woman should not teach men this is prophecy don’t add or take a way means that the bible says no
"Words, sentences, and even entire verses in the King James Version were removed in the Revised Version."
Entire books were removed in the Revised Version: the KJV contained the Deuterocanon until the 1885 revision.
Imagine being dishonest enough to call your made up heterodox movement "apostolic" even though it has nothing to do with the teachings and traditions the apostles received and passed down. I don't think "apostolic" means what they think it means. It seems that new movements that call themselves Apostolic are about as far from apostolic as one can get.
Strange how some women take over and start a church whereas St. Paul says that women should remain silent and if they have a question, they should ask their husbands.
Paul was responding to problems within certain churches (Ephesus and Corinth) at the time of writing. His writings on women’s submission and silence taken literally and without such context goes directly against Jesus’ teachings and interactions with women.
Do you also believe people shouldn't get married because the world's going to end soon?
What about the woman who aren't married?
@@GreatDataVideos Paul didn't believe anyone should get married

My Bible just like yours say the same thing.
Ephesians 5:1-7 AMP
[1] Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; [2] and walk continually in love [that is, value one another-practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance. [3] But sexual immorality and all [moral] impurity [indecent, offensive behavior] or greed must not even be hinted at among you, as is proper among saints [for as believers our way of life, whether in public or in private, reflects the validity of our faith]. [4] Let there be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse [obscene or vulgar] joking, because such things are not appropriate [for believers]; but instead speak of your thankfulness [to God]. [5] For be sure of this: no immoral, impure, or greedy person-for that one is [in effect] an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God [for such a person places a higher value on something other than God]. [6] Let no one deceive you with empty arguments [that encourage you to sin], for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience [those who habitually sin]. [7] So do not participate or even associate with them [in the rebelliousness of sin].
Has some good points, but overall too legalistic and I wouldn't go there myself.

We Pentecostals are a wild bunch…
This is a very shallow teaching on the doctrine of Apostolic/pentecostalism, there is many references in other countries that were Apostolic. They can be cited in multiple historical reference books.
Another fascinating video, as a Catholic, the multitude, 'We are legion', of Protestant sects and sub groups is quite amusing. Satan having a lark.
and yet you have Pope Hippy condoning the blessing of same sex couples..
We need a Pentecostal tongue talking holy rolling fire baptized revival to sweep across this nation please set aside time each day to pray specifically for that Pentecostal churches have lost their power and fire they have all become powerless and lukewarm it seems like if you are modern Pentecostal then you probably don't know what a real move of God looks like please pray for Holy Ghost revival
I speak in tongues

It's wierd for them to invoke Scripture as an authority, right after saying a person can be saved, tread the Christ underfoot, and then crucify Him again.
comment section today is quite spirited LOL.
The Bible clearly tells you to be baptized in the name of Jesus and the Bible clearly warns you not to sin.
1 Corinthians 5:9-13 AMP
[9] I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate with [sexually] immoral people- [10] not meaning the immoral people of this world, or the greedy ones and swindlers, or idolaters, for then you would have to get out of the world and human society altogether! [11] But actually, I have written to you not to associate with any so-called [Christian] brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater [devoted to anything that takes the place of God], or is a reviler [who insults or slanders or otherwise verbally abuses others], or is a drunkard or a swindler-you must not so much as eat with such a person. [12] For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders (non-believers)? Do you not judge those who are within the church [to protect the church as the situation requires]? [13] God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside [the faith]. Remove the wicked one from among you [expel him from your church].
A Devout Client of Mary Shall Never Suffer the Loss of His Soul
There was a certain man who was religious in name only, but, wherever true religion was concerned, hard-hearted and careless.
He was, however, in the habit of praying to the Blessed Virgin and saying once everyday a hundred “Hail, Mary’s.” Coming near his end, he was caught away in an ecstasy, and devils charged him before the Great Judge seeking a sentence that would adjudge him to be theirs. God, therefore, knowing his manifold sins, said that he must be condemned.
Meantime the Blessed Virgin came offering schedules in which were contained all the “Hail Mary’s,” and begging her Son to allow him to receive a milder sentence. But the devils brought many books full of his sins. ‘The books on both sides were put into the scales, but the sins weighed most. Then the Blessed Virgin, seeing She was doing no good, earnestly besought her Son, saying:
“Remember, Beloved, that Thou didst receive of my substance, visible, tangible and sensible substance; give to me one drop of Thy blood shed for sinners in Thy passion.”
And he replied: “It is impossible to deny thee anything. Yet know that one drop of my blood weighs heavier than all the sins of the whole world. Receive therefore thy request.”
Receiving it, She placed it in the scales, and all those sins of the religious weighed against it as light as ashes.‘Then the devils departed in confusion, crying out and saying: “The Lady is too merciful to Christians; we fail as often as She comes to contend with us.”
And so the man’s spirit returned to his body, and on recovery he related the whole tale and became a true monk.
Taken From The Glories of Mary By Saint Alphonsus Liguori
THE name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost is Jesus or Yeshua which means salvation in Hebrew .
See Acts 10:48
Sanctification is gifted🎯 but clarified more as it is depending upon abstinence with others or by oneself .
1 Thessalonians 4:3 KJ21
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
1 Corinthians 1:30 KJ21
But because of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness, and sanctification🎯 and redemption,
One lord one faith one baptism. God is spirit, manifests in the flesh of Jesus , through Mary's in swelling of the spirit of God, being made the spiritual sperm of God fertilizing Mary's holy egg. There Jesus who sits only on the right hand of God, is the son of God, however the father, son and holy spirit are one.
5:45 So they believe in purgatory. Wow.
no. They are teach that biblical repentance involves restitution of wrongdoing.
@@matthewmencel5978 your anti Catholicism clouds your thinking. This is essentially the doctrine of purgatory: that God defends the widow and orphan by demanding that you make restitution to them now, or he will take it out of your hide hereafter
less heretic than the usual pentecostals.
The autofocus is causing too much breathing.
Allowing women to be pastors is where they err, in addition to speaking in tongues (gibberish I’ve seen on TV) without an interpreter, and adding foot washing as a sacrament. (1st Timothy 2:11-15, 3:1-7)

Absolutely not true! Apostolic do not believe in the Trinity. They believe in the one this of God! Jesus is the father, Jesus is the son, and Jesus is the Holy Ghost!
The word "Apostolic" is used by many different denominations. The one in this video is absolutely trinitarian.
So you have to do good works to stay saved? Unbiblical teaching.
No thank you. The Apostolic Church is the Roman Rite Catholic Church and the Greeks.
The 23 Eastern Rite Catholic Churches are just as Apostolic as the Latin Rite.
Also, the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches are considered Apostolic by Rome.
The Catholic church is the seat of anti Christ
The maronite rite is valid as well
There are Several actually, with different starting points in different decades. There's a Swiss group (1847), and the Portland Oregon group (1907), and of course the one you speak of, among others. Same with my denomination I grew up in: I was Church of God (1881- Anderson, IN) and there is a Churches of God (1825- now Findley OH) and the are several more including the Church of God (1886-Cleaveland TN - Pentecostal). Obviously the last group was not Pentecostal to begin with since Pentecostalism didn't even start till 1901. All this to say that just because a group of believers uses a word such as APOSTOLIC or a group of words such as CHURCH of GOD doesn't mean they are the same group or denomination. Some splinter off from the previous group, some just start up on their own, usually trying to use words they find in Scripture that would please the Lord. Hope that helps! 😊

Another person who somehow thinks that every christian for millenia (including the apostles) were wrong and their sect founded at least 1500 years after Jesus death now has it right.
@@TheExtremeIRON The apostles were not trinitarian according to history. That belief was first found in writings about 200 years later.
