Pentecostal is basically nothing more than the full belief in the bible and ALL of it's teachings. These include being saved by grace, not through works, divine healing. Might I ask what is your background?

Hi, I think Pentacostals believe in the feasts or holy days as stated in the Old Testament of the Christian bible. I know that the meal Jesus ate with his disciples just before his arrest was the Passover feast. Some Evangelistic and Pentecostal Christians follow the seven holy days spoken about in Leviticus 23:5-36. As far as attire, dresses and long hair for women and all, I'm not sure. I am glad you have gotten this chance to really meet Lord Jesus. Keep an open mind and do some scripture reading on your own.

The Pentacosts here where I live do follow the stipulation of no pants/no cutting of the hair/no makeup.

bushg agrees: yep, and the wife must obey, and he can turn that bible into his weapon to treat her like a second class citizen/slave...sadly many of them do at least where I was raised.

People seem to be getting things mixed up big time. Pentecostal is a loose term encompassing several churches, including FourSquare, Assemblies of God, Southern Baptist. To find out what his actual church doctrine is you will need to do some research into his denomination. I have an acquaintance who's wife is Catholic, and they attend her church on Saturday night and his church on Sunday. Not sure how that works, as the Catholic church believes in praying to Mary, and the Bible clearly tells us differently. But, I guess you can work it out if you really want to.

I knew people that went to the Pentecostal church. They believed women could not wear pants ever, they couldn't cut their hair, no make-up, they could not speak in church and they had to be subservinant to the man. Not doing anything on the Sabbath but going to church. They tend to follow the Old Testament.

My mom attends one. No jewelry,no cutting hair,no T.V. or computer,no music other than religious, no shorts, pants or short sleeves do not show your arms, no makeup, no hair barrett's that are decorative, no hair cutting, no earings, no rings. No kiddie pool for the little ones, no dances, no playing cards, ball games ahh you basically can't do anything.
My sister and neice the above plus no chewing gum or drinking pop...but the men can smoke...they make excuses for that one.

They celebrate Christ's birth the ones I speak of believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. No christmas lights or trees or decorations of any type. The easter bunny is bad and halloween is worse.

Before you get into deep with this man visit his family, his church and keep your eyes open. Good Luck
*edit* and the religious music you listen to will have to be from other people that believe like they do or you will be worshiping the devil and being lead down the wrong path also you can't go to other churches with different beliefs.

First of all, to get an accurate answer, you would have to tell us which Pentecostal denomination. They vary widely from the very sound to the heretical, from those which might look, sound and operate much like a Baptist church to those which might seem quite foreign, from those with rigid rules, to those which might seem liberal in some areas.

Pentecostalism is not a denomination but rather a grouping of denominations which believe that supernatural manifestations of the Holy Spirit should be expected today.
