I Don't know if I can help you are not, but I'll try. I was brought up Pentecostal or some calll it Holiness., or Holy Roller. I can say these people do believe the whole Bible. They don't leave out nothing. They believe the 9 gifts in 1Coriinthians 12th chapter That's talking in tongues the gift of Healing (which I have). Thank God. My cousin was healed of ovarian cancer by me praying for her .(doctor proof).I my self have been healed of copd and asthma(doctor peoof). On Oct 23,2008? I was in the shower just Praising God and thanking him for everything. Me and the Lord get real happy in the shower. Some people sing, well I shout. Any way after I dried my hair and all. I realized Praise God my ears were healed. I could hear. I have worn heaaring aids since I was 18 Years old I;m now 60 . Any way They believe the entire Bible, they don't leave anything out. I can tell you of mericles all day long. I backslid after I got married at age 20. I m arried and unbeliever. Which the bible says don;t do. I just got saved again or come back to the Lord about 3 years ago. Can you imagine what my life would have been like if I had stayed with the Lord all my life, Lord I wish I had. But I have 2 beautiful children and 3 granddaughters. But I think I could have done a great work for the Lord. Read my page . About my life and the blog I wrote.I don;t know If I helped you are not, bur I hope so. Love Gail Sims gsmariegail6@gmail.com This much I know is true. Check it out.

Hi ML,
I think as we die, physically, we enter into heaven at that time. If we are still on earth at the time of the catching away, I think we won't be caught away if we are not Christians. That makes all Christians winners, but on different levels based on our lives.(Different rewards)
The great white throne judgment is for unbelievers only, and they will be judged at that time. Deceased are already judged or they wouldn't be in hell. So, I have to say no, I don't believe that.
Have a great day in the Lord,
Rita

Goodmorning, Child.
If one reads and lives by the God's instruction book, the Bible, they can't go wrong. That includes accepting Christ as your Savior. Any denomination that doesn't focus on teaching the word of God, including having Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, should be discounted immediately. Then I would discount any denomination that twists the Word, to make it a lie. The way you can distinguish what is biblical is by reading your Bible and concentrating on what it says. Know what it says. Then you can recognize the lie as it comes to you. Try several churches to find the one for you. I don't think God will mind as His Word says not to be unequally yoked. If a church is operated by what is "politically correct", literally, I suggest you find another one.
I hope this has helped you out.
Have a Blessed day in the Lord,
Rita
Critique what the pastor says and see if it is in the Bible. If he is preaching something that is outside the teachings that are in the Bible, you probably need to fine another pastor.(Church)

Yes, Rita, you are right on the money. You've got to read and live by the Bible. Find out what the church/denomination is teaching. If they don't take the Bible seriously or if what they are doing does not square with what the Bible teaches, get out of there and find another one.
