I AM AN APOSTOLIC PENTACOSTAL WOMAN AND I LOVE THE LORD. ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO I STARTED GOING THROUGH SOMETHING. EVERYDAY I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE AND MY CHEST HURT ME ALL THE TIME. EVERYDAY I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE AN HEART ATTACK. I WENT TO CHURCH, BUT I STOPPED PRAYING AND READING THE WORD OF GOD. I WORRIED EVERYONE AROUND ME TO DEATH. I WENT TO DOCTOR AFTER DOCTOR NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY HEART. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THEM @ALL. THEN GOD SENT ME A PROPHET BRO.SCROGGINS AND GOD USED HIM TO TELL ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY HEART AND I WASN'T SICK!! THAT WAS WHEN I WAS 28 AND I AM 32 NOW AND I AM SO GLAD THAT HE IS ON TIME AND THAT MY HEART WON'T FAIL ME OR I WANT DIE OF ANYTHING HEART RELATED ALL BECAUSE GOD TOLD ME. I WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU HOPING IT WILL HELP SOMEONE OR ENCOURAGE YOU TO HOLD ON FOR YOUR PROMISE IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK. MAY GOD BLESS YOU!! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MY TESTIMONY. NOT FOR MY GLORY BUT GOD. I LOVE YAL AND TAKE CARE. | ||

Well, since your pastor healed you... what would you do if you got cancer or smallpox, or another horrible disease? Then, would he heal you? If God didn't want doctors, then don't you think we would've realized it by now? You people are nuts. | ||

I am a pagan, and my Goddess healed my son when he was dying in my arms and turning blue. He had asthma with many attacks. He was only 6 at that time, he is now 12 and since that night he has never had asthma again. Faith is what heals the body, spirt, soul and mind. It is not a church, pastor or any man women or child. It is your god that heals. I think it is wonderful about your healings, thank the Lord and lady for every healing and averything. BTW I grew up UPC, born and raised and God/Goddess still loves me, and I love them with no fear. May the Lord and Lady bless you all and work in your life as they have worked in mine and many others in all religions. | ||

Doctor after Doctor told you nothing was wrong with your heart. So, it seems that the prophet agreed with them. A good diet, weekly exercise, regular doctor visits, and prayers to God should keep you in good health. God created everything including Doctors and medicine. It would be turning your back on God's creation to exclude them. | ||

i still praise THE LORD GOD JEHOVAH for healing me of a serious heart attack. HE ALONE is GOD not some false goddess. JEHOVAH THE FATHER OF JESUS AND GIVER OF THE HOLY GHOST praise HIM forever. steadman | ||

"oneness" Church a Cult & Threat to Christianity! http://www.celticpandc.com/warning-united.pentacostal.html This church is also plagued with various legalistic doctrines to which members MUST adhere. This is done in order for the members of the Church to Judge them as Christian in GOOD STANDING and be even considered a Christian. One of these I find totally out of place in the Church today and the note that women are "a lesser vessel."Many of these standards have also been developed only since the early 1900's .i.e. You are not a Christian if you do not Speak in Tongues, Women must wear their hair Long and no Jewellery and makeup. They teach that unless you're baptized using the correct formula....theirs!....you're not really saved. One must ask the pastor for almost anything and any decision in life. (many of these things verge on the thinking of a Cult-I dare say that the Bible and Jesus never made specific clothing and the way you wear your hair a demand. This conforming to what everyone else is doing in the church is DANGEROUS.)I must ask that the person think that only our God has a right to Judge us as Christian or not! To be a Christian must one check their brain at the door of the church? The UPCI thinks so! (they are false teachers and prey on the human nature of man!.)...How? Answer: The apostle Peter wrote describing Paul's epistles, "...in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction" (2 Peter 3:16).I believe that there are many individual powerful practices which characterize the methods of deception employed by false teachers. The twisting of Scripture is universal among them. Few, if any, people go into a cult or aberrant religious movement by reading the Bible alone! They must have some help from false teachers. These false teachers must come to terms with the authority of Scripture. They deal deceptively with this issue in several ways. (the UPCI fails to see that Jesus himself says that all of his authority comes from the Father and that he is dependent on the Father) For instance, one approach is to give respect to the Bible but teach that it cannot be fully trusted. (this the UPCI does in taking on the King James Version of the Bible which is a Transliteration of the Bible not a direct translation. They brush off versions like the RSV which is a translation as it was written according to them by "liberals." So far I have not seen the reason they are liberals! They feel that the K.J. VERSION is the only one that supports their position on the church and all outside extra-Biblical study and Creeds are just that of men and are not to be studied. They miss quote scholars etc.) ,They teach for example that books must have been lost or that texts were altered.(the UPCI feels that the resurrection story as told by the Gospel and the great commission to go out and Baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost was added scripture) Bible verse is sprinkled liberally in the books to make it appear that the student is studying the Bible. The result is that the Bible is really only being used as a reference book. One can make the Bible prove anything used in this manner. This approach is typical of the Society of Jehovah's Witnesses.The Bible warns about these tactics as Paul compares his true ministry to the false apostles', "But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully..." (2 Corinthians 4:2). Describing the methods and motives of the false prophets and teachers, Peter says that,"many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you..." (2 Peter 2:2-3). How does this happen? I believe the average church member is conditioned for it. Rather than follow God's direction and "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15), the average Christian's approach is to expect others to teach them. This leaves the door open to a false leader to by use of orthodox wrapping have a gift of the word inside that is no longer holding to scripture, but that of the opinion of the leader or others. Sometimes this comes from reading the Bible in a literal sense in modern thought rather than consulting what it meant in 1st Century thought. Additionally, there has been of a lack of emphasis on teaching sound, foundational doctrine in the church. Again, God warns His church concerning this (Ephesians 4:11-15; Colossians 2:6-7). Christians must learn to feed themselves as well as give attention to the sound, established, systematic doctrine that has stood the test of time and solid scholarship. (The Orthodox church has withstood the test of time! (The UPCI contend that they are the only ones that are going to heaven-Do you not see something wrong here?) The UPCI counts on the fact that most Christians are not familiar with Greek and Hebrew nor the way to study the Scriptures with objective study helps They do not feel that they should directly look at the words in terms of the period they were spoken but it is right to translate them for today directly.(they even come to the aide of this by officially prohibiting their followers from reading books by scholars that have studied the Bible.) Many do not even read a whole book in the Bible through for its intended context. Therefore, when a false teacher comes with a plausible argument and presents what appears to be a scholarly approach, the novice is impressed. (This to me is a form of Brainwashing in that they have captured the disciple with somewhat orthodox teaching and then the disciple does not any longer question what is stated.) They also use this to say that you will not be happy or have salvation if you leave this church. They will shun you at the store or on the street. It is a way of playing with your mind. They make you feel that they are the only way that the sins they concentrate on are able to be forgiven is if you remain in the cult. They thus twist Scripture through pseudo-scholarship, by deleting and inserting words, by focusing on texts out-of context, and by employing collapsing contexts (unrelated verses put together to say something different).I encourage the Christian to become a student of God's word. The truth of God's Word working with the illuminating and empowering Holy Spirit transforms the Christian into how he is intended to experience life, being conformed to His image.Jesus prayed "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth" (John 17:17). | ||

To Sis. Tonya Praise the Lord!!! To all un Oneness: I am not here to argue or defend my beliefs. But I do have some things to say. First we do not believe that people thierselves heals people. We do however, believe that God works through people. God told this pastor she was healed and she accepted it. Maybe she couldn't accept her healing until this certain pastor came to her. We do believe that we put boundaries on what God can do for us. We have to accept His healing. Has it ever occored to you people that we do the things we do, because we love Jesus. Not necessarilly because someone told us to do it. When someone tells you to do it, they are wrong for telling you that. When God wants you to do it, He will tell you and convict you. But, don't change for people, that is wrong and you shouldn't be going to church if you are trying to please people. I live the way I do to please Jesus. I don't care what people call me, I know I am living the life Jesus made for me, because He took the scales off of my eyes and I was willing to see and hear and accept it in my heart. In time we will see what the real way is, until then No one has the right to say we believe wrong! | ||

Talk about people who are dying of thirst and at the same time making fun of those who are drinking from an everlasting pool of water! Some people in here think they are saved, and they accuse others of not being saved. I wonder who gave them the authority to make such judgments. Jesus obviously didn't, for He said He wasn't sent to condemn the world, but the save. Then who could have send them? Makes me wonder if they know to whom they belong to. Arron, I'm glad you're a Pentacostal! You believe in power from on high. You haven't let man's opinion about God's Word hinder you from going into the fulness of God. But I need to encourage you to keep going. There is "Beyond Zone", in which very few Christians have crossed. The early Church lived in that Zone, but the Church in this hour has yet to move into that Zone. The ZOne of God's abundance. God wants you to be soaked in His Spirit, and being yielded to His love 24 hours around the clock. This is the time to come out of your denominations and go on with God to places men haven't travelled: To be Elijah's , John's, Stephan's and Paul's for God. Blessings on you, dear Arron. I trust God to keep you safe till His coming. Because of the Blood-Love, Sidharth | ||

yes as it is for you. our religion has nothing to do with salvation as we are saved by THE BLOOD. of JESUS. WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT OR HOW WE WORSHIP HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SALVATION. |
