I just tuned in to the redeemed channel only to see them outing anointing oil on the foreheads of their members like the way Catholics do.

I was even thinking it was ash but eventually saw it was oil.
I bet you very soon these people will start their own ash Wednesday.
They keep fighting the Catholic doctrines only to end up copying it eventually.e.g Holy Communion.

They use annionting oil, holy water, and receive communion yet they criticize people who discovered and have practiced these things centuries ago till date

It is nothing to bother anyone. I heard them conclude prayers 'in the name of the Father and Son and the Holy Spirit'. They also call their pastor 'daddy' meaning Father. Oyedepo's group now wear his medallion. They may not get to the stage of Eucharistic celebration and the deep Catholic rituals but they are welcome

And they feel it's OK to call their pastor 'daddy' while they call us idol worshippers when we honour the mother of God.

Is that your preocupation? I am Catholic but I think you are barking the wrong tree. Let them worship God the way they deem fit. They don't have to do it your way.

Don't join them in their game of condemnation. I know the special feeling and deep spiritual connection I encounter with every Eucharistic celebration. Anybody that leaves the Catholic Church never got to understand the faith

I will defend my faith. Everyday, everywhere.

We should grow above all these. church will not take anyone to heaven.

You see, that is the problem I have with you Catholics. are you just discovering Pentecostal church do anointing with oil..take communion? Ascribing Holy communion as a catholic ideology is false, misinforming and mischievous. The holy Communion is BIBLICAL, BIBLICALLY instructed. So what's with this 'our' y'all using here? I bet ya redeem, mfm, deeper life, chosen and other Pentecostal churches take the communion. O.p do you even read the bible

why re Christians always questioning d belief of other Christians. I doubt if we re serving the same God through Jesus.
sometimes give converting to Muslim a thought.

Have they stopped you from practising your faith? This your post smacks of insecurity. You are happy they are doing things your like you? What are defending in this post?

you of all people. the anointing and communion wasn't DISCOVERED, but was a DIVINE instruction from God.

Yea like Shia moslems and sunni muslims abi? Plus other sects. Tell me another story again in Tuface voice

u focus on what hypocrites n haters say, true Christians know that only the word of God is true.
We may HV diff ways of worshipping God, but all key elements remain.
1. Coming to the father through Jesus
2.Belief in the holy spirit
3.belief and non alteration of the word of God
4.following the commandments Nd the modifications Jesus did on them(Jesus actually explained it better, not modify per say)
5.belief in baptism



Whosoever follows these doctrines n more are under the body of Christ

Remember, Jesus preached love not hate,


Also the way u feel spirituality in the Catholic church is d way I feel it in living faith church.

(I'm a former Catholic who holds the traditions close to heart, but sort WHR my spiritual needs could be fulfilled)

walahi brothers. Communion na new thing? No doubt the O.p never read Corinthians wey hammer on communion. Biblical kings were anointed as a sign of blessing, yet someone would just create an empty thread devoid of fact and logical reasoning. I don't argue with these people, but this thread is Bs

actually we do, I left bcus I wasn't feeling that faith there, we are humans with diff personalities, diff ways of view.

If u read the Bible u find out that even in d times of Paul, peter and other apostles, (read through the letters written throughout the new testament) differences were already springing up in the churches worldwide.
Some of the letters of the new testament was to remind all these new churches of the core value for which they stood.

it's morethsn Be, it highlights the rift between diff Christian factions, WHR some ppl see themselves as victims.

If gives power to atheists, n justification to oda religions. Little things like this is what makes ppl look down on Christians.

I leave it at this, OP and all who are Christians
1 Corinthians 1:10(go n read it Jor)

Hmm... Wonder shall never end. I dey see something. what's the point of claiming holy ghost Church? When you end up in olive oil, water etc una one day go start to dey candles an incense as well. What is the difference BTW the ad white garment.

That is how many of them will get initiated into demonic Kingdom.

I was born and brought in white garment Church for more than 20yrs. You guys should better stop in joining them takin Al those jargon s n the church. It s the greatest tool of occult men to initiate you either yu knowing it. Be warned! e

Anointing members on their fore head isn't something new as its scriptural.

Holy communion isn't something new as it's scriptural but ashes on one's fore head during lent is something I haven't seen in the new testament Bible. The apostles didn't mourn Jesus by using ashes except it's stated otherwise

You guys worship Mary you don't honour her.At least in every mass her name is mentioned. To worsen it,you guys bow to her statues which God hates the most

I've lived long enough, and I can't recollect any Pentecostal criticizing the Catholic for something as symbolic in Christianity as the holy Communion. Anyone who disagrees with communion does not know what he is saying.how would any person criticize communion knowing how important it is

Still I'm worried, the o.p seemed to portray these things as 'our' or something the Catholic church instituted.

You pentecostals were not practicing it. The likes of Pastor Kumuyi, Idahosa, Josiah Olufemi and Co who were the founding fathers of pentecostals in Nigeria did not practice it. Holy communion is relatively new amongst Nigerian pentecostals no need to argue. Even anointing oil and holy water were criticized by them and was not being used until recently, go and do your research or ask people who know better than you.

lol.
First off, I can not verify your claims of those two not practicing holy Communion.But I'm very sure It's explicitly stated in the bible. No Pentecostal pastor has ever criticized the use of anointing oil, that I am 100% sure of. the name 'pentecost' itself is associated with anointing.
Still on still, let's say they didn't believe in it before until last month feb. You think Catholics are like the trailblazers when every prophet used oil to anoint every king in the days of old? You should be happy for us for just discovering last month..the O.p was gloating, that at last we were copying you Catholics.

Sister you fall my hand, really.
Used to admired your posts from afar but I thought you would be more informed and savvy than this.
You've spoiled my Sunday.

Nothing irritates me like Christians going against themselves, especially on doctrinal issues.

2 Timothy 2:23
Titus 3:9. (NLT)

PS: I'm neither Catholic nor Protestant (Pentecostal), I'm a Christian.

It's only Paediatric Christians who make these arguments above.
This was exactly what Paul sought to address in

1 Corinthians 1: 11-13

When we get to heaven, would you queue up behind the Pope or behind Rev Fr XYZ or Adeboye or Kumuyi?
Did any of them die for you?
Can any of them give you life or answer your prayers?
Are you even sure any of them would make heaven?
This is the mistake immature xtians make all the time.

We follow both the old and new treatment. I am sure you also believe in the ten commandments right ? Which is in the olsd testament. The Israelites used to fast and cover themselves with ashes whenever they sinned as a sign of repentance. It's in your Bible.
