What can cause people to join them?

Question

What if I want to be Pentecostal but go to a Christian church?

Community Answer

Changing churches should be fairly simple. Pentecostals are still Christians, so you are still going to a house of worship for the same God. It's also okay to worship Him in your own way, in your heart.

Question

Will I get what I want from Jesus?

Community Answer

Not necessarily. If you ask Jesus for a million dollars, he won't knock on your door and hand you a stack of bills. But you can find comfort, knowledge, and salvation in Jesus, and that can be enough for many people.

Question

Why do some Pentecostal pastors preach that there is no need to pray for God's will to be done in prayer?

Community Answer

This is because God's will is His Will and will always be done. You are where you are because that is where God wants you at the moment. His will will be done always, even if you do not understand it.

Question

How do I speak in tongues when becoming a Pentecostal Christian?

Community Answer

If you believe, you will be able to speak in tongues. You don't have to get baptized, but if you pray and ask God, then you will likely be able to. Raise your hands in prayer, and pray out loud. It doesn't always happen instantly, so be patient.

Question

What about oneness pentecostals? Do they believe in a trinity and if not, is that wrong?

Community Answer

Most of them will say they do not believe in a Trinity. However, they will say they believe that God is Father, Son, and Spirit. This is exactly what people who believe in the Trinity say is the Trinity. Sometimes the Trinity argument just seems like a quibble over words.
