What is it like in a Pentecostal church?

[Pikablu]

Do they all have to speak in tongues?

 

[greatgiginthesky]

No, they believe that is a gift of the spirit. Unless they are Sarah Palin then BLAH BLAH BLAH liberal lies

 

[DrDeanCrosby]

Miracles from God are discussed in Pentecostal churches more than in other denominations but many do not emphasize the Holy Spirit's gift of speaking in tongues and it is doubtful that you would ever find a church that makes it a requirement for attendance.

* Clapping Hands (Psalms 47:1)
* Lifting Hands (Psalms 134:2)
* Shouting unto God (Psalms 5:11, Psalms 32:11, Isaiah 12:6)
* Playing Musical Instruments (II Samuel 6:5 & Psalms 150)
* Praying Out Loud - In most all of the examples of prayer in the Bible, people prayed out loud, liftin their voice to God. The prayer during our church services is usually aloud.
* Praying for One Another - The Bible teaches us to “Pray one for another” (James 5:16). During the service we may pray for one another. Please don’t feel like you have to participate. But, if you do have a special need, someone would be glad to pray with you. You may also see someone during prayer time come forward to be prayed for by the Pastor and Elders. The Bible teaches that anyone who is sick can be anointed with oil and prayed for to be healed. (James 5:14-15)

The bottom line is they give much glory and honor to the "spirit" and not the Son of God, which is what the Holy Spirit does in true worship.

Obviously you take Christianity as a joke. people speak in tongues because they feel a sudden urge to do so when filled with the Spirit. It is not a planned or staged thing
