Pentecostal Church of God (Trinitarian belief, not UPC)

My exact church would probably be labeled Bapticostal if I had to label it though, lol! :emot-handshake:

I started meeting with the Christians under the ministry which I am still, after 11 years, affiliated. My first time at a Lord's Table meeting a brother asked me if I enjoyed the Meeting. I replied, "Yes. How do I join?" He looked at me strangely and said, "What do you mean?" I repeated, "How do I join this church?" He chuckled and said, "Brother, you are already part of the church."

I was raised Seventh day Adventist :thumbsup:

Saved in a Pentecostal church, too crazy for me at the time, joined a Southern Baptist, ended up right in the middle in a Bapticostal church. Abba's House Hixson, TN Love it! It is where I'm s'posed to be! :thumbsup:

Similar backgrounds.

I was raised sda, but went to a catholic girls school. Mom was sda, dad was catholic. No wonder I was a mess.

I now "attend" a baptist church, 8 years so far.

I have always been a part of God's Church no matter which building I attended.

100% Christian now and forever.

Absolutely! I actually really enjoy ironing. When I do laundry, I'll iron everything at once because it's part of the personal time I spend with the Father! I've had a few of my best times with Him while ironing. :thumbsup:

As a child I went to the church down the block..

it was simply called the "Christian Church"..

I was too small to know what denomination it was..didn't even know there were denominations..

My parents did not go but perhaps once or twice a year for a couple years of my childhood..

My Mom was not allowed out of the house without my dad being with her and he did not want to go.

He did go with a neighbor once when I was small and it was a Pentecostal church.

I thought it was way cool how they worshipped.

Only went to church for fellowship mostly as a young teen once in a while and it was just a church to me..still not aware of denominations..

Then as an older teen I went to a Catholic church and took catechism and it was then I was really aware of the difference..

Found that although I liked the sense of worship there I could not agree with their theology..

Quit going to church for about 5 years and then met some nice Charismatic folks and !!! wow did my life change ..

Attended that church for about 30 years .

I still consider myself Charismatic, if I need a name, no matter what church I find myself attending... :thumbsup:

Very cool. :th_praying:

I attend a small Lutheran Church. It is Missouri Synod Lutheran... In my neighborhood. It is very small and most of the members are older people. It is the church I was brought up in... Only recently (in the last year) have I really begun to think about being actively involved with church. We've gotten a new pastor, a vacancy pastor who is on fire for Christ and so... we are really growing spiritually. It's a little hard because there aren't many people my age. I'm thinking about visiting other churches for fellowship and bible study... I love my little church and I think that we can really make a difference in the community. I sort of agree with my grandmother that you shouldn't have to pass 12 churches to get to your church. So I'm thinking of visiting some of the other churches in the community. I don't think of different denominations, different church buildings as being in competition really. I think of it more as a team effort. The more the merrier. :)

There are things I need... so I'm not fully satisfied with my church... but then again Christ is there as much as he would be at a larger church or in a youth group... so in that sense I am satisfied...

Greetings to all of You in Our Lord Jesus Christ.

I thought it would be intresting for all of us to share about our church lives and the great things that are happening within our churches.

I have tried many churches from my childhood church (roman catholic) . I am no longer catholic though. Shortly after i got saved i found a spirit filled church. Assemblies of God churches have been very positive for me and I have been to some non-denominational churches too. Most churches that i have visited or belonged too have been positive. I really like the smaller churches and i belong to one now and yet my wife and I want to try out a baptist church here in our hometown. I have seen peoples lives changed in wed night prayer meetings or in service on sunday. I have seen people get saved in a church service and seen them fall to there knees in repentance and weep and they feel the Love of Jesus embracing them.Thank You Lord !! What a great thing it is to see people fall in love with God. I feel that most churches are good as long as there bible based. Can we judge a church ? We can weigh out the depth of the church in what it teaches and its doctrine i would say. What is your church like ? Are you happy there ?

I go to Elvis Presley's Chapel Of Love Church. We have a rockin good time! Never a dull moment at our church. :th_praying:

To be honest. I just want to be sure my fellow church members are "saved." I don't care what denomination you go to as long as it is a Bible believing and Bible teaching church. :wub:

I was saved in a missions church in Singapore.Wow,the people there are amazing!.Love just pours outs from all hearts.The Love of God and Christlikeness is seen thru them!....Thank You Lord for giving me a great opportunity to serve in your kingdom and this wonderful church!

CHURCH HISTORY

In 1989, the Spirit of the Lord moved mightily in the heart of Kong Hee, impressing him to enter into full-time Christian service. Kong had, by then, graduated with a Degree in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore and was working for a publishing house.

However, having held several small, but successful, evangelistic campaigns in Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines, Kong wanted to become an itinerant evangelist and be a blessing to the churches in this part of the world.

Sometime in April that year, he left the church he was attending since childhood and set out to become a staff evangelist with "Christ For Asia," a local missions organization. But God's ways are always higher than man's and sure enough, the Lord had other plans.

After leaving his local congregation and embarking on a walk of faith in the mission field, a group of young people that Kong had previously ministered to surrounded him. They wanted him to be their shepherd, to pastor and lead them. With the support and encouragement of numerous senior pastors in the city, Kong decided to pioneer this new work, putting aside his dream of becoming a successful traveling preacher.

To date, City Harvest Church has more than 20,000 people in its weekend services and is still growing rapidly. CHC has nine affiliate churches. Its SGD$48,000,000 titanium church complex in Jurong West was fully paid for and is utilised for some of its ministries. CHC has offices and centers in five locations and it also owns another plot of land at Jurong West Street 74.

Kong is known throughout Singapore and Asia as a dynamic faith teacher, preaching an uncompromising prophetic message for this generation. He has a strong vision in his heart to train workers with a single purpose to see strong local churches planted everywhere in Asia. His television program "Harvest Times" is broadcasted many times weekly in 145 countries through 11 television networks.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
