pentecostal churches is any christian church that preach the word of jesus christ in a glorified way. they mostly believe that for a person to be saved, he or she needs to have faith,be baptist and talk pray in tongues.\n1. how they differ from other churches is that, they all pray at the same time, they pray for each other, the sick, the problems of the country or continent concerned. this may sound strange to some one who is new from other churches, but every thing that is done by the pentencostal church is in the bible. talking in tongues is taken from the book of mathews to timotheus,wherby people were praying and suddenly started talking a strange language. only the blessed and the believers can speak this language. as its a way of communication to the lord, and the devil does not know that language,thus will not prevent the prayer from not being answered.\n\n2. how they contact their services is different from that of the ELCN CHURCH, ANGLICAN CHURCH,AND THE CATHORIC CHURCH,  in a \nway that each member of the church or a  visitor come forward during the service and explain his or her trouble in front of all the audiences, it does not matter what the problems are, then the audience take it from there as like in the  first paragraph.\n\nfurther more the pentecostal churches believe in different prayers\n1. worship prayers - which is assisted by a worship song before praying\n2.praising prayer- which is assisted by the clapping and crying, or what ever you want to do, thus there is also a thanksgiving song before all those.\n3. a forgiveness prayer- by which every one pour out their apologies to the lord in their own way.\n4. the service is conducted 7 days a week. there is a day for only women who are single,and another for married women, a day for the sinners(those who want to accerpt jesus christ, a day for the youths, a day for those who want to have a privacy with the pastors, a day for married/unmarried men, a day of the full time church service.\n5. women mostly have to cover their heads and wear long dresses or skirts, thus its said in the book of corintheas,\n6. unlike other chuches, a person need to be fully dedicated to the lord, whereby there should be no fornication, no smoking, no drinkind alcohol, and each church member need to contribute service to the church(be it cleaning the church, arranging curtains or decorating the church, playing music,advising memebrs of the particular groups,translator,etc.as long as those duties are fulfilled evey time of the week by the chosen person.\n\nin other churches, the pastor does all the praying and talking, unless by appointments where by a member need to preach.\n\nlastly, pentencostal churches were there during the time of jesus christ, is only that  people did not know that they were called as such, or did not yet name them.\n\ntake the book of john for instance, where by jesus went to heaven and left a message to his followers, he said that preach my message to all, baptist every one who want to follow me.the pentecostal churches are the followers , as they went from house to house preaching the word of christ and baptising people. they did not wait for people to look for them, as like the other churches.\n\nin another book ( the songs of songs) there is a book that says, glorified to the lord, clap and praise to the lord, (the pentencostal churches followed this verse by clapping and jumping, cring when praying, unlike other chuches were by they pray very quietly even though they are happy or crying. they find it very strange when some one cry while praying.a person only crying when he or she finds it difficult to ask for forgiveness from GOD, and such is asking or pleading to jesus to open the door for his forgiveness.\n\nthe aim of the pentescostal chuches is to preach and make people understands the true version of the bible, as most people misunderstood the bible and its meaning. its only today that there is a name for that church, other wise we will still be

Pentecostal worship runs the gambit from conservative and quiet to lunacy - as in the Brownsville Assembly of God's "revival" where people clucked like chickens and barked like dogs while having "holy seizures" and uncontrollable laughter.\n\nPeople are attracted to it because it isn't dull and cold and boring like traditional liturgy has become in so many churches. It's FUN to clap and dance and laugh and stuff. People in our Ex-Charismatic support group have described Pentecostal worship as RELIGIOUS ADDICTION.\n\nBut the baggage that comes with it is every bit as damaging as any false religion. When I was in it, I remember being taught that in order to qualify for Holy Spirit baptism, you had to get rid of all the sin in your life and be a perfectly clean person, inside and out, because "the Spirit won't fill an unclean vessel."\n\nBut that begs the question, what do I need Spirit baptism for, if it's possible for me to acheive such a state of holiness WITHOUT it? Just in order to get it?\n\nThat is exactly the OPPOSITE of the Christian gospel, which tells us that we CANNOT ever measure up or be holy enough on our own to "earn" God's favor or acceptance. Pentecostal legalism - even in the more modern churches - remains a major issue. There are many other theological issues in Pentecostalism that defy the grace and sovereignty of the God they claim to love - issues which, if accepted without examination, threaten to turn the Christian gospel inside out. Beware!

A church is not a building or a temple, a church is a body of believers worshiping, taking communion, proclaiming the name of god, or fellowship of believers.

The first "Pentecostals" in the modern sense appeared on the scene in 1901 in the city of Topeka, Kansas in a Bible school conducted by Charles Fox Parham, a holiness teacher and former Methodist pastor. In spite of controversy over the origins and timing of Parham's emphasis on glossolalia, all historians agree that the movement began during the first days of 1901 just as the world entered the Twentieth Century. The first person to be baptized in the Holy Spirit accompanied by speaking in tongues was Agnes Ozman, one of Parham's Bible School students, who spoke in tongues on the very first day of the new century, January 1, 1901. According to J. Roswell Flower, the founding Secretary of the Assemblies of God, Ozman's experience was the "touch felt round the world," an event which "made the Pentecostal Movement of the Twentieth Century." \n\nAs a result of this Topeka Pentecost, Parham formulated the doctrine that tongues was the "Bible evidence" of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. He also taught that tongues was a supernatural impartation of human languages (xenoglossolalia) for the purpose of world evangelization. Henceforth, he taught, missionaries need not study foreign languages since they would be able to preach in miraculous tongues all over the world. Armed with this new theology, Parham founded a church movement which he called the "Apostolic Faith" and began a whirlwind revival tour of the American middle west to promote his exciting new experience. \n\nIt was not until 1906, however, that Pentecostalism achieved worldwide attention through the Azusa Street revival in Los Angeles led by the African-American preacher William Joseph Seymour. He learned about the tongues-attested baptism in a Bible school that Parham conducted in Houston, Texas in 1905. Invited to pastor a black holiness church in Los Angeles in 1906, Seymour opened the historic meeting in April, 1906 in a former African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church building at 312 Azusa Street in downtown Los Angeles. \n\nWhat happened at Azusa Street has fascinated church historians for decades and has yet to be fully understood and explained. For over three years, the Azusa Street "Apostolic Faith Mission" conducted three services a day, seven days a week, where thousands of seekers received the tongues baptism. Word of the revival was spread abroad through The Apostolic Faith, a paper that Seymour sent free of charge to some 50,000 subscribers. From Azusa Street Pentecostalism spread rapidly around the world and began its advance toward becoming a major force in Christendom. \n\nThe Azusa Street movement seems to have been a merger of white American holiness religion with worship styles derived from the African-American Christian tradition which had developed since the days of chattel slavery in the South. The expressive worship and praise at Azusa Street, which included shouting and dancing, had been common among Appalachian whites as well as Southern blacks. The admixture of tongues and other charisms with black music and worship styles created a new and indigenous form of Pentecostalism that was to prove extremely attractive to disinherited and deprived people, both in America and other nations of the world. \n\nThe interracial aspects of the movement in Los Angeles were a striking exception to the racism and segregation of the times. The phenomenon of blacks and whites worshipping together under a black pastor seemed incredible to many observers. The ethos of the meeting was captured by Frank Bartleman, a white Azusa participant, when he said of Azusa Street, "The color line was washed away in the blood." Indeed, people from all the ethnic minorities of Los Angeles, a city which Bartleman called "the American Jerusalem," were represented at Azusa Steet. \n\nThe place of William Seymour as an important religious leader now seems to be assured. As early as 1972 Sidney Ah

Worship is not a 'church event', it is a way of life.  "Those who worship God must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth".\n\nI would suggest that you begin in prayer and searching the scriptures diligently until you KNOW how God would have you worship Him with your LIFE, and if He calls or allows you to be involved in a music ministry that leads worship, He will equip you appropriately.\n\nI am a vocalist, with no 'formal' training, yet God has blessed my life of worship with many opportunities to minister to others in music, prayerfully leading them to a heart of worship.  This didn't happen until I (as a believer) truly understood what it means to worship the Lord with my life.
