because there is simply NO scriptural support for "Pentecostal gospel ".
3 Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born again?
5 Jesus answered: Amen, amen, I say to thee,
unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he
cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh: and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Wonder not that I said to thee: You must be born again.
8 The Spirit breathes where he will and thou
hear his voice: but thou know not whence he comes and whither he goes.
So is every one that is born of the Spirit.
John 3:3-8
15 And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world and preach
the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believes and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believes not shall he condemned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils.
They shall speak with new tongues.
18 They shall take up serpents: and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay their hand upon the sick:
and they shall recover.
19 And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sits on the right hand of God.
20 But they going forth preached every where: the Lord working withal,
and confirming the word with signs that followed.
Mark 16:15-20
1 And when the day of
Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were
all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began
to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 2:1-4
38 Then Peter said unto them,
Repent, and
be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and
ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Acts 2:38-39
44 While Peter yet spake these words,
the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter,
because that on the Gentiles also
was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he
commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Acts 10:44-48
1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
2 He said unto them,
Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there
be any Holy Ghost.
3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him,
that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 When they heard this, they were
baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Acts 19:1-7
3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed:
and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which works all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of
wisdom; to another the
word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another
faith by the same Spirit; to another the
gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the
working of miracles; to another
prophecy; to another
discerning of spirits; to another
divers kinds of tongues;
to another the
interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these work that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
1Corinthians 12:3-11 (nine gifts that operate in a disciplined proper Pentecostal church)
What is it then?
I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
1Corinthians 14:15
Orderly worship - how a Sunday meeting ought to be conducted according to Scripture:
26 How is it then, brethren?
when ye come together, every one of you hath a
psalm, hath a
doctrine, hath a
tongue, hath a
revelation,
hath an
interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29
Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
1Corinthians 14:26-29 (we do this every Sunday and our mid-week meetings)
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Romans 8:9
