goodmike7: What is your business fool,idiot,why can't you people mind your business and leave christians or pentecostal churches alone,when muslims lick the floor and scrape their forehead everyday do we ask why???

Get a life and mind your business,if you can't pray like that then keep your mouth shut while others pray however they choose.

I don't know why you brought muslims into this but let's look at people that have in your words "licked the floor and scraped their forehead" in worshipping God according to your scripture.

"And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..."-(MATTHEW 26:39).

"And Joshua[b] fell on his face to the earth, and did worship[/b]..."-(JOSHUA 5:14).

And he (Elijah) cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees."-(1 KINGS 18:42).

"And they (Moses and Aaron) fell upon their faces..."-(NUMBERS 20:6).

"And Abraham fell on his face..."-(GENESIS 17:3).


Do not insult a noble way of worship practised by great men of God because of your dislike or hatred for muslims.

@Goshen
I know your type, no amount of scripture I quote can change your mind, imagine discountenancing the prayers of Elijah?
Even if I quote all the relevant scriptures, you will still be running around it like an headless chicken.
You are what Timothy refers to as "ever learning but not able to come to the knowledge of truth"
You believe you know everything, abi?
Anyway, to everyman his own!

V-lyrics:
The pastor tells u 'u ar in a battle, warfare' d devil is in trouble... So dey use energy to pray... Gra gra christians... Dats y i love christ embassy... Simple prayers!
Whether the pastor tells you or not you are always battling with life everyday except you are not alive. Stop being naive and deceiving yourself or your pastor deceiving you that there is no battle in your life.

1. I can see that you are minding your business
2. Nehemiah 8:4-6

Ezra the teacher of the Law stood on a high wooden platform built for the occasion. Beside him on his right stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah and Maaseiah; and on his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam.

Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up.

Ezra praised the Lord, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, “Amen! Amen!” Then they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.
