Why Do Pentecostal Churches Lay More Emphasis ''repent'' by Christmasdon(m): 9:05pm On Jul 09, 2020
Why repent and go back to that sin. because thats what some of we humans do. i think we should not repent, what we should do is to repent at every minutes of our lives because human nature is SIN. we even eat and breath sin. and not telling people repent. instead lay more emphasis in accepting CHRIST JESUS. Peace!

Do you think you can speak in tongues? Do you know the power in speaking in tongues? Why speaking in tongues is essential for all Christians? Let's converge at The Invasion WhatsApp platform at 9pm on Sunday. I will be reviewing Kenneth Hagin's book titled "Why Tongues?"

John the Baptist called on men to repent, this was before Jesus Christ showed up on the scene, to prepare men for what is to come.
After Jesus Christ showed up, He, Jesus Christ preached a New Covenant that required men to become born again to receive. So, no longer are men simply required to turn from their old ways, but to submit to a rebirth, become born again, in order to accept the New Covenant that is Jesus Christ, and the promise that is He.
The new Covenant promises a life lived above the law of sin and death, a life in adherence to the perfect law that is Jesus Christ, controlled and administered, not by man's flesh and spirit but by the Spirit of the Living God Himself. undecided

True, but what does it really mean to "accept" Jesus Christ? There is a cost and it is steep. undecided
Are these churches willing to lose their congregation when they begin to preach the truth of Jesus Christ to these people? undecided

@Pentecostals are not the only denomination to blame for even the mighty Catholic Church does not teach the truth to its people, so many remain what I call "dangling believers," with no real roots in the New Covenant that is Jesus Christ, and hence, no hope of the Kingdom of God.
No one can become a follower of Jesus Christ simply by wishing for it. Jesus required that those who choose to follow Him do the work that He commands they first do.

1. Be prepared to abandon parents, brother, sister, children, spouse, in-laws, e.t.c.
2. Abandon all that you know/believe, have, and all that you are
3. Bear your own burden (not someone else's cross- not even your family's or children's)

Matthew 10 vs 34-39
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
34. “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace. I came to bring trouble.[h]
35. I have come to make this happen:
‘A son will turn against his father.
A daughter will turn against her mother.
A daughter-in-law will turn against her mother-in-law.
36. Even members of your own family will be your enemies.’
37. “Those who love their father or mother more than they love me are not worthy of me. And those who love their son or daughter more than they love me are not worthy of me.
38. Those who will not accept the cross that is given to them when they follow me are not worthy of me.
39. Those who try to keep the life they have will lose it. But those who give up their life for me will find true life.

4. Become a child again in your thinking and your actions

Matthew 14 vs 23-24
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23. Then he said, “The truth is, you must change your thinking and become like little children. If you don’t do this, you will never enter God’s kingdom.
24. The greatest person in God’s kingdom is the one who makes himself humble like this child.
5. Be prepared to lose life(reputation, career, control, property, etc.)

Matthew 16 vs 24-27
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24. Then Jesus said to his followers, “If any of you want to be my follower, you must stop thinking about yourself and what you want. You must be willing to carry the cross that is given to you for following me.
25. Any of you who try to save the life you have will lose it. But you who give up your life for me will find true life.
26. It is worth nothing for you to have the whole world if you yourself are lost. You could never pay enough to buy back your life.
27. The Son of Man will come again with his Father’s glory and with his angels. And he will reward everyone for what they have done.

6. Desire above all to find and enter the Kingdom of God and also walk the path of righteousness, with God as your guide every step
7. Let go of all control you have over your life and circumstances, allowing God to take care of your every need

Matthew 6 vs 25-34
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25. “So I tell you, don’t worry about the things you need to live—what you will eat, drink, or wear. Life is more important than food, and the body is more important than what you put on it.
26. Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or save food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. Don’t you know you are worth much more than they are?
27. You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it.
28. “And why do you worry about clothes? Look at the wildflowers in the field. See how they grow. They don’t work or make clothes for themselves.
29. But I tell you that even Solomon, the great and rich king, was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers.
30. If God makes what grows in the field so beautiful, what do you think he will do for you? It’s just grass—one day it’s alive, and the next day someone throws it into a fire. But God cares enough to make it beautiful. Surely he will do much more for you. Your faith is so small!
31. “Don’t worry and say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’
32. That’s what those people who don’t know God are always thinking about. Don’t worry, because your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things.
33. What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these other things you need.
34. So don’t worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Tomorrow will have its own worries.
