Pentecostal Beliefs

yes, I can.
I am Assembly of God (pentecostal)
Why does the Assemblies of God oppose abortion?
The Assemblies of God is unashamedly pro-life. Even though a United States Supreme Court decision legalized abortion in 1973, abortion is still immoral and sinful. This stand is founded on the biblical truth that all human life is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). From that truth issues the long-standing Christian view that aborting the life of a developing child is evil.
Those who defend abortion claim that an unborn child in the early stages of development is merely fetal tissue, not a person. But neither science nor medicine can declare an arbitrary time during pregnancy when human life begins. The Bible indicates that human life begins at conception (Job 31:15, Psalm 139:13-16). Because of the sacredness of human life, the matter is settled by theological statement of Scripture, not by a medical determination of viability outside the mother’s womb.
There is a Christian alternative to abortion. Instead of terminating the life of the unborn child, the newborn can be placed for adoption by loving Christians. Adoption is a concept authored by God, for all Christian believers have been adopted into the family of God. By choosing to give birth to her baby rather than having an abortion, the birth mother spares the life of a child created in the image of God.

I am not a Pentecostal, I'm a Muslim. But I do now for a fact that Pentecostal Churches strictly adhere to the rule that abortion is a sin in any case..... clear black and white without any thought of context.... for example if a mother would die by having the child. Thus clear black and white answers don't work in the Real World. Fundamentalists (including Muslims) should pay more attention to the FUN (and Mercy of God) rather than DA MENTAL.

pentecostals believe just like all other christians believe when it comes to abortion. in response to someone's answer about abortion not being black and white. i do not know anyone who had a child that giving birth to them would endanger their life, but i do know someone who had a child that was a product of rape, and i know someone that had a child that was a product of incest (their older brother) now i know that both of these situations are terrible but i know that their mothers wouldn't change the fact that they have them and i couldn't imagine the world without them. god knew you even before you were in the womb. an "embryo" is a child of God from the beginning and murdering a child is wrong.

I cant provide links, but being a pentecostal i belief that taking a childs life is wrong, because they have the right to live.They are a gift of God and only God has the right to let someone die.
