Though I Speak with the tongue of men and have not love for God and man, I am nothing. This was what Paul wrote to the Corinthians in his first epistle.

God gave specific instructions as regarding all the above you mentioned and they are all written in the book of Leviticus, Peter, and Paul's epistle to Timothy.

Like God said to Samuel, men look at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart. Who am I to judge. But this I will say according to the scriptures.

Let him that standeth take heed lest he or she falls..

If any man preach any other gospel than that which we have preached unto you let him be accursed.. Apostle Paul said this...I can go on and on and on...

There are synagogues of Satan in this present time, just like Jesus said to John in the book of revelation. So the discerning gift of the holy spirit in you pointed out something wrong to you my friend, Guide your soul.

If those in that church love God,
1. They won't go against is law of putting on opposite sex cloths as commanded in the book of Leviticus.

2. If they love God truly they won't allow disorder in the church as a result of the speaking I tongues by many at once like what happened in Corinth that Paul corrected, saying to them that some will think they are mad.

3. What is the essence of speaking in tongues when there is no interpretations.( Apostle Paul said this)

Let all things be done in modification and in order ( Apostle Paul advised this) Read I Corinthians 12 -16.🥰

If you still practice any of the two Abrahamic religion, its time you wake up and ditch that slave master's history book.

Have you asked yourself with number of churches and mosque in Nigeria and the amount of prayers offered, the country is very backward and not working?

If we can conclude anything, it is that the prayers aren't working.

If the prayers they offer works, Nigeria will be heaven on earth by now considering the number of churches on every inch and corner of Nigeria.

If 80% of the buildings used as worship centers are turned to factories, do you know how much it will contribute to Nigeria's economy?

You really have to stop commenting on topics you've little or no knowledge about.

Love not the world, neitheR the things that are in the world.

The church has indeed become wordly.

Mathew 15 vs 8 ‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’ ”

Isaiah 29:13-14 The Message (MSG)
The Master said: “These people make a big show of saying the right thing, but their hearts aren’t in it. Because they act like they’re worshiping me but don’t mean it, I’m going to step in and shock them awake, astonish them, stand them on their ears. The wise ones who had it all figured out will be exposed as fools. The smart people who thought they knew everything will turn out to know nothing.”

Matthew 7:21 (NLT)
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.

Deuteronomy 22:5 (NLT)
“A woman must not put on men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing. Anyone who does this is detestable in the sight of the Lord your God.

1 Corinthians 11:5 (NLT)
But a woman dishonors her head if she prays or prophesies without a covering on her head, for this is the same as shaving her head.

1 Corinthians 11:13 (NLT)
Judge for yourselves. Is it right for a woman to pray to God in public without covering her head?

Even if you think these are errors, why not err on the side of caution. If you get to heaven and God says ha ha ha I do not care what you wear, wellcome all thesame. Thats ok. If on the other hand you get before the Amighty and he says to you why ae you unfaithful in this little thing depart from me. Of what use is then your yeas of speaking in tongues

That's the only church I know that everybody use to speak in tongue while praying.

One guy I knew back then that is junior pastor had a lesson center where he taught people how to speak in tongue.

He is now a senior pastor in one of their branch in Ghana

Happy sunday nairalanders.
I moved to a new area(Student area) and decided to attend a nearby church.

These are what I noticed.

-- I was the only one that used scarf.Even the choristers and the female ministers didn't use scarf.

--Almost all the female members are putting on trousers,ladies that put on gowns/skirt are not up to 20%.
I was even surprised that the two female ministers and the female choristers also put on trouser to climb the church alter.

--During prayer intersection,I noticed everybody were praying in tongues and it seems am the only person not filled with the holy spirit to speak in tongues.
Even when we were asked to pray on our offering,people still prayed in tongues.

And it just seems I'm odd among them or is it that am not modernized?

Well... I'll say if you're really Christian enough then you should mind whatever you see cause Christianity is inside us NOT what we see cause there are many that appear perfect but they aren't perfect enough in the sight of God so ignore all those things sha!

What you puts on is the reflection of who you are on the inside.

Christians do not want to be different,they want to dine with the world and at the same time eat on the same table with Christ. That's why this nation never gets better.

We prayed so hard for God to change Nigeria whereas ,we are the one contributory factor for the evil bedviling the nation. Why,we claimed to have or carry the light but yet we are the real agent of darkness.

The Church in Nigeria has nothing in common with Christianity beside the Bible. The Church today is a Social Club where you have to be rich and be a benefactor of the Pastor to belong. Yes, the PR man preaches "the Sermon," but it's in most cases like Teaching Practice and Motivational Speaking. Nothing Christlike no more.

Most "churches" these days have strayed so far from the Christianity of the bible that its no wonder that they are a powerless hotbed of sin and conspiracy. We all need to wake up from this devilish slumber and return to God in repentance because really we have lost it. The bible said the Broad road, where everything carnal is allowed dads to nowhere else but hell. Trust me, there are many "churches' on that road.

If you understand the concept of speaking in tongues, you won't feel odd. It will come to you. When it came to me, I felt like I was a language from centuries ago. I understood what I was saying, and not just blabbing. It's like some superior power communicates with me in a language of peace.

Even since I stopped midnight prayers and found my way out of his sight, the spirit has not left.

It discipline's me and holds a one-man meeting with me. Like an invisible friend, and we do discuss.

Keep asking. I started asking as a kid during AYF and SU. I didn't get it until 2021. You will know when you have it. It's a spirit of peace and fire.

Peace if you are done right within you. And war/fire if It organises alone man family meeting with you.

This usually happens when I don Bleep a woman when I nor suppose Bleep and do things I suppose to do.

It warns you when you are about to commit some kind of sin. You will feel this battle within you, and you will become restless within you.

There some many other ways it manifests aside from speaking. I had the spirit in me for years before my mouth opened.

You will still sin oooo. But the spirit helps you avoid sin and chastises you when you have done wrong.

Here's what I have to say about the speaking in tongues part. All of them that were 'speaking in tongues' were talking gibberish! Speaking in tongues is supposed to be a miracle and not something you just start doing every time you want to pray or when you want to make an exclamation when you think you've said something awesome like most pastors and preachers do these days.

Sometimes I wonder if people actually open their bible to read and study it .

Speaking in tongues is a miraculous work of the Holy spirit which enables one to speak in other earthly languages which the person had no prior knowledge of. And when this miracle happens, there must be somebody present who would testify to the fact that you are speaking in their own native language which you were not supposed to know about. This means that God is trying to minister to that person through you with the power of the holy spirit. Read Act 2:1-12 , this passage of the Bible is very clear about what it means to speak in tongues.
Anybody that comes to tell you otherwise without a bible verse to back it up is not telling you the truth.

Attend MFM Church around you.

These New generation styling themselves Apostles grin

,funny enough some of their members when devil have battered them ,they find their way to MFM for deliverance.

God created his church to be light but what we have now is,we can't diffentiate between a Club house and a true Chruch. It's blurry.

People that grew up in “old” Pentecostal church like TAC and CAC consider it a sin that a female wear trouser ,use powder ,wear ear rings etc . Therefore they find it odd that when they see other Pentecostal churches do all these and most time consider them odd/not holy enough to make heaven etc .

One of the disadvantages of breaking away from Catholic Church is that everyone has their own doctrine but consider other doctrines not acceptable to God . Neglecting the fact that culture have great effects on biblical lifestyle and other doctrine lifestyles.

Imagine saying a woman should not wear supposed men’s cloth and vice versa but some cultures like the Arab have their men wearing gown ,Scotland and some Scandinavian and South South people of Nigeria have their men wearing robe which apparently belongs to women in most other culture .

One of the reasons I let go of religion is because everyone is claiming to be right and the probability of one of them being right is negligible because high percentage of people will be on the losing side and I wonder why an omniscient God will create people just to make them lose in the long run .

I recently learnt it’s considered a sin for women to cut their hair in Apostolic church or what’s the name again.
