Like Jesus said "In the last days , I will pour out my spirit "
The Original church was persecuted ... it was bound to happen , The Devil hates the name of Jesus Doesnt he? The Romans gave them a chance to change thier Doctrine.. So came the trinity and soon as you know the "church" was the goverment and forced every body to belive lies , the Dark Ages began .. Martin Luther! .. he settled , then came the other Denominations , then Agian the Original church came back and the spirit shure is pouring! I Just want your option

Thank you David Salis! lets not make it another Denomination lets just do what the Bible tells us too. If you read it its soo simple to follow !
Revelation 22:19 And if any man shall take away from this book of this profecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and form the things which are wirtten in this book.

Life!
Jesus said "I have come that you may have life and that more abundantly". Go to many churches and you see what looks like death warmed up, not life.
Pentes and Appos offer this life. Their church services are alive and you often see the power of God demonstrated. Any surprise?
The Pentes are more likely to believe the bible, literally. Jesus is lifted up in these churches and Jesus said "If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto myself" so no wonder why they are growing.

because people are tired of "dead" church that's dried up and plucked up by the root. they are tired of patty cake do whatever you want and you will be saved church. they are tired of going to church and feeling nothing, of not changing, and staying in the miserable pit they have found themselves in. so they are searching for a church that will change all of that. and we ( the pentecostals) are praying. "Lord, send those to us that are tired of dead church. that know there is more of you to be had. That are searching for the truth, the way, and the light. God, send them to us so that they can be truly filled with your spirit and changed on the inside." and the Lord is hearing ALL of our prayers and he is answering. i don't care what religion you call yourselves and the others are right it isn't about a denomination. But, lest you are born again of the water and the spirit you cannot enter into the knigdom of God. and when you recieve the Holy Ghost you WILL speak in tongues. "for the promise is unto you and all those that are a far off." and you must be baptized in Jesus' name. and you must do your best to follow the biblical principles found in the bible. You do those things and no matter what you "call" yourselves you should make it into heaven.

God is truly moving amoung his people, But as yourself this, why is there so many doctrines, The True Aposotlic Pentacost will follow the bible as the Apostles as old taught it, I am an Aposotlic Pentacost myself, & there is a people on this earth That is what is known as the BRIDE, I can show many places where it says there is only one doctrine, But The BRIDE will see eye to eye on all things, Eph. 4:11-17 Isa. 52:8

Despite the up beat talk, church attendance and baptism numbers have been declining for decades, Atheism has doubled or tripled. This according to the national baptist convention latest figures. An important reason could be this link; http://godisimaginary.com/

The bible tells us that in the last days false prophets will come and many will be deceived. This is satan coming as an angel of light. These people don't believe in the trinity, they don't believe that you are saved unless you speak in tongues. 2 John 1:7-11 would apply to these people."Broad is the way that leadeth to destruction"

Hi David - great name, eh? I think it's important to remember that there is only one church. I don't mean 'the catholic church', but I mean every person that has received Jesus Christ personally. Only God knows who has for sure, so to get to your question, the apo/pente movement is the next wave of reforming the church to being "without spot or blemish" for Christ's return. Let's not make it yet another denomination, but humbly walk with Him each day til He returns. Yo, bro' keep the faith!

its because God is given His place and when that is done, He takes over, lead and we only follow. He is the Lord of the Harvest. So, if men go ahead of Him probably no harvest but when He goes ahead as should, a great Harvest. He's the one who saves souls and not our well arrange chruch buildings and sermons.

Actually pentecostalism is just as popular as it ever was. AND just as unpopular.
