THE PENTECOSTALS have their house of worship at the corner of Merritt Drive and I-40. Pentecostalism is a Christian religion in which the converted live a Holy Spirit-filled and empowered life. Empowered followers have the gift of speaking in tongues and divine healing. It is an Apostolic, or full-gospel, faith. The word Pentecost comes from the Greek name for the Jewish Festival of Weeks. It represents the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus Christ's followers- as written in the second chapter of the Book of Acts. In this Apostolic faith, it is important for one to be born again.
The religion has been growing since its early years in the beginning of the 20th century. There are almost 3 million Pentecostals in the world today. If you want to learn more about the religion, read the reference below* There are seven Pentecostal churches in Greensboro. We're not sure about congregation size; however, with respect to square footage, this appears to be the largest facility. Today is Sunday and we hope you are enjoying it and that you had a little time for some spirituality.. regardless of what you believe.
It's Sunday and I'm thinking religion today. Why oh why would the Baptists throw out the Boy Scouts? It really boggles the mind... all in the name of religion? That's God's way? Oh well, have a WONDERFUL Sunday!
