Should Christians be called Pentecostals? by Azibalua(f): 3:50pm On Jun 27, 2011 |
The term Pentecostals have been used consistently with most Christian denominations, but are Christians really Pentecostals. Taking into cognisance the fact that on the day the Jews from every nation gathered to celebrate Pentecost those who were in the upper room and were not celebrating received the holy ghost thus should they be called Pentecostals. Only serious imputes please |

Religion is no different from atheism, science, mysticism, etc because the more you think, the more sounding crazy you become. |

Azibalua: The term "Pentecostal" actually is an American hijacked export. Whilst we're on the subject, furthermore "Pentecostal" to some degree has similar connotation with "Charismatic" In fact, it was the Christian groups founded in American in the late 19th and early 20th centuries which laid emphasis on "speaking in tongues", "healings" plus "spiritual fervor" or"spontaneous worship" that were called or given the tag "Pentecostal" It was in around 1901 from the Bethel Bible College, Topeka, Kansas and 1906 from Azusa Street in Los Angeles, California where tongues were spoken, that the "Pentecostal" signs and wonders etc movement started. In spite of this info, in truth and its real sense "Pentecostal" is actually about "Pentecost" Pentecost been the 50th day after Jesus' resurrection and the day when the Holy Spirit descended on the Church. It is no secret that because so call "Pentecostals" lately have been up to mischiefs of all sorts or the other, they have now come to be called "Penterascals" [center]The Free Will Paradox[/center] |
