However we all need to grow in knowledge.Pentecost celebration was not for the Christians.The early Christians did not celebrate pentecost but were huddled up in a room on the day of pentecost.It was the Jews who were celebrating pentecost.

The term 'pentecostal churches' or pentecostals(for christians) is a misnomer.

Do you know of any christian that celebrates Pentecost? I think you're assuming a problem where none exists. Christians are aware of what happened on that particular day of Pentecost when the disciples were filled with the Holy Ghost. It does not mean they celebrate the Pentecost nor even celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Ghost. I do not understand in what sense a Pentecostal christian or church is a misnomer. We associate things or persons with landmark events, without that being a misnomer. Again, this is much ado about nothing on your part.

woky: let us pray:

OH GOD WHO BY THE LIGHT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DID INSTRUCT THE HEARTS OF THE FAITHFUL, GRANT THAT THROUGH THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT WE MAY BE TRUELY WISE AND EVER REJOICE IN HIS CONSOLATION THROUGH CHRIST OUR LORD, AMEN

It's obvious you don't get it.Haven't you heard of some people being called pentecostal Christians?So what really is the meaning of that?It's a wrong description because it means to many people an unorthodox christian.A Christian is simply a christian!We use all these descriptions because of a lack of knowledge and that is what i'm pointing out.

If you still don't get,well don't bother.I'm sure others would.
