This topic of debate was the main reason for which the Theology forum was closed. It becomes a heated debate as both sides can debate until they're blue in the face.

That and it has NOTHING to do with Pentecostals. The only possible working question would be, "Are there pentecostal Calvinist?" Which has already been used so I'd just merge it with the old thread. This is the Pentecostal forum. I have to keep the topic on Pentecostals or move the specific thread to the appropriate forum.

what about a thread concerning "premillennial" view
verses "postmillennial" view? i was thinking of starting one on that subject. do u think that all pentecostal/charismatic folks all believe the same things? i'm using myself as an example, my beliefs are a variety and combinations of views usually labled by one group or the other.
let independant thinkers and believers riegn!

It's fine as long as it's in a Pentecostal context. Which millennial view should a Pentecostal take? This could lead to discussion about two different views because two different sects of Pentecostals might believe differently. The thing is, we have to keep the debate away from personal views, but rather the views that Pentecostals doctrinally have.

There could be, they're rather rare though.

Besides, you don't know how many Calvinists and non-Calvinists that I've met who can barely explain their own beliefs, let alone the other side's.

I understood what you meant. You meant that I was sounding like Arminians just don't know what Calvinists think. Thusly, Arminians are just arminians because they don't have a clear understanding of the other. Is that what you meant?

I cannot say what a UPC person would say on what they consider to be a penetcostal.

As me being an Apostolic Pentecostal that I would have to say that first and foremost you have to believe that there is One God, and that his name is Jesus. Believing in the baptisn in Jesus name and the being filled with the Holy Ghost. You can tell most pentecostals apart from other by standards. Apostolic believe in standards which we're set in the Old testament which is supported by the new testament in which God people will be seperate and different from the world. You can spot a Apostolic Pentecostal woman from a mile away. you could not point out a baptist froma catholic really. So from standards things come into order from the, Prayer, fasting, and Bible reading should be essential to be a full Pentecostal.

There is the Assemblies of God that is Trinitarian and are Pentecostal In Nature......No not all Pentecostals are Oneness...FourSquare Church is simular to Assemblies if God in this same way...There are Trinitarian Pentecostal Groups Don't Dispair

Assemblies of God, Church of God, Foursquare, IPHC, Church of God of Prophecy, Church of God in Christ, and pretty much all Charasmatic/WoF churches are all Trinitarian....It beats me as to why there are so many Apostolics on the forum, but some forums are wacky. At Christianforums.com, the vast majority of Pentecostals there are Word of Faith/Charasmatic, so it kind of offsets it.

~~wierd....~~ I am just kidding my close friends are pentecostals.

IO ve gone to a pentecostal numerous times, i liked it, but i am more of a sit down and listen to the pastor type of dude, and it was too energetic for me.
