@@davidmondragon6037 What does that have to do with her comment? It’s a costume 😂 The point is she’s dressing the part of a RELIGION but clearly has no RELATIONSHIP with God. It’s not about a person’s appearance but are they walking with God and obeying his commandments ❤
@@SpicyMcGeezakbe careful, the church is the body of Christ that HE established, y’all love to come for churches when at least they are TRYING and have a mind to please God. None of us are perfect but the Christ, but there are requirements until he returns, like it or not.
Or you’re forced to keep these “standards” and was never really explained why or never developed a real relationship with GOD to develop your OWN standards🥴
I witnessed this so much growing up. It made me so sad in HS when they said “If God wanted my eyebrows to be groomed he would have said so. I’m leaving the hair where he puts it. And my nails, if they were ok to be whatever color, I would have been born that way.” I was trying to tell them, the same way you brush your hair, you can tweeze your eyebrow hairs that are out of place. You can have pink nails and still be Gods child. With the logic you have explained to me, I could also say “Why brush your hair? If God wanted it to be tame he would have made it stay that way without intervention from your hair brush.” And many other examples. I hurt so badly for them.
I'm a pastor's wife and mom to 3 young men. They have always been allowed to be themselves- have long hair (I know, I know 😮), wear what they want to wear etc. I stood my ground when people made their silly comments questioning my parenting. My boys had/have a solid foundation and the capability to find themselves on their own with it. They're 19 (twins) and 28 now. Clean cut and totally grown out of wearing all black and hoodies 24/7.. lol Clothes and hair wasn't on the top of my priorities to battle and they turned out just fine ❤
@@LadyandtheStamp "They turned out just fine", according to YOU or GOD and HIS WORD? The Word of God is absolutely against parents allowing their kids to "find themselves". I hope that you're aware of these scriptures and the spirit of the law....
@@joelcarlisle1389Nah I think it may be the top. I don't think ayone is supposed to be offended by women shoulders but by some peoples standards, it is immodest.
My parents raised me in a nondenominational home and I never felt pressured. We learned about the Bible in the home rather than in a church because that was the whole point of church not being just a building. It was a gathering. I wore what I was comfortable in, but still represented my aesthetic with leather jackets and what not. I was still modest and respectful. Still loved God and celebrated my differences from others because I was made uniquely like others. You should never feel pressured.
It has nothing to do with her feeling "pressured". She has no relationship with God and simply wants to put on a show for people. You cannot claim to be a Christian and still live like the world.
I Am A Pentacoastal Man & I Found JESUS At Home After The Death Of A Beloved Uncle Who Was A Jehovah's Witness, I Don't Know How But It Brought Me To CHRIST. Then I Decided To Join A Non Denominational Church & Began My WALK, Some Years Later My SPIRIT Was Tested & I Fell & Fell Hard Fast forward 8 Years Later. JESUS Reached For Me & Responded. Found My Brother Whom I Was Close To Before & He Encouraged Me To Join A Pentacoastal Church & I Returned To My First LOVE, Which Was My LOVE For CHRIST..NOW My FAITH Is Strengthened Like Never Before & My Heart Sings For The Goodness Of GOD. I Pray Anyone Reading This Is Encouraged Enough To Fight The Good Fight Of Faith & Let HIM In. There Is NO Reason To Not Want What Is Good In Your Life & The Next. Be Of Good Courage, & Stand Firm. Resist The Devil & He Will Flee...✝️🛐 Your KING Is Waiting On YOU🫵🏽 GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏🏾
@@djpopcorn When Jesus had brought about Christianity, it was supposed to be for everyone and without division. What I mean by non-denominational is that those Christians don't go by any other title other than Christian as they're not a part of any main-line (popular) sections. They don't need to go to a church building to learn about the Bible from a pastor, but instead criticize and learn together. Skeptism was encouraged. The whole point of it was to not be main-line like Catholicism, Baptist, etc. It's been around for thousands of years but was only given any recognition in the 20th century.
I carried my Bible to school and open the word of God up and taught the word in high school. If there had been some water I would have started baptizing my class mates. And after all those years 2 of my class mates are still serving God.
So, do you feel they are saved because you spoke the truth in love and preached salvation thru faith in Jesus Christ, God in flesh, or because you wore no makeup and only skirts/dresses? (If you did that. Maybe you didn't & you simply represented Christ, as we should no matter what).
I grew up Pentecostal, am 48 now, still a proud Apostolic! I never did this myself, but I did have friends from my church back then that did this exact thing. Never got a love for the truth. When I compare my life to theirs now??…I’m so thankful that I got a hold of something real as a young person. Their lives are so messed up. Not one of them are living for God today. Married 3,4,5x…problems with drugs and alcohol, estranged from their familes, from their own kids because of terrible lifestyles. I remember kids in high school telling me to just wait, that when i hit 18 i would b outta there. Nope. Nothing that was offered to me could ever take the place of what i found in serving God with all my heart. I don’t regret a mile I’ve traveled for the Lord.
American society is so debased and predatory that I think that without religion, you're essentially screwed. I'm from the UK and travel full-time. Americans are, by far, the most obnoxious, ignorant and straight forwardly insane people I encounter on my travels. The women are narcissistic beyond belief.
@@johnstow5613 lol everyone loves that scripture because u feel it gives u some kind of leeway to do what u wanna do and no one can judge u for it. Problem is i don’t think many people read the rest of that verse…judge not that u be not judged…”for with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged.” So what that says is that if I’m gonna judge others (which is only possible thru the Word of God) i better be willing to be judged by the same Word. The Word judges me every day. If i don’t live up to it that’s my own fault. So it’s not ME that is judging…the Bible is a book or mercy AND judgement. Totally different if i am looking down my noses at anyone that lives different from me. I don’t think I’m better than anyone else. But i can learn from the mistakes of others. Don’t tell me u don’t do that.
@@LittleOlMe75 Angie, the lord be with you. Your ways are prosperous in Jesus name. I feel that you are right. We should not be afraid to point out when people don’t get things right. The “me culture” or “I’m always right” culture will end up destroying western civilization. Was watching a documentary the other day where people couldn’t even define a woman. Your country and other European countries brought Christianity to where I live. Yet, secularism is the order of the day in these countries traditionally associated with biblical Christianity.
@@johnstow5613 don’t get me wrong. I don’t go around pointing out what others are doing wrong. However if i live a Godly life, the righteousness of God brings condemnation to sinful living. I live in a small enough community that nearly everyone can meet me and know where i go to church because i live what i believe. I don’t have to say a word and people who curse in front of me will apologize because they can sense a difference. So i let the Book do the judging. I just have to b willing to live it in front of all these people. I don’t know where u live but am thankful u find hope in Jesus! He’s the only way out of this world!
I’m non denomination and when you get convicted by the Holy Spirit you know because you feel the need and want to do right by the word of God. I was never forced into living right I chose it and I will never regret it
Yup, when you have a true personal relationship with the Lord you become very careful about what you do, say and how you represent the Lord. The Holy Spirit has convicting power to deliver, preserve, and sustain us.

As an apostolic I'm very thankful for my wife. She takes pride in the standards she presents not only for herself but for our daughters as well. Those standards come from the word of GOD.
Key word - pride. And I was raised this way so I know. The standards come from the words of men. I did a little more digging as I became an adult. Still the power of mind, thought, behavior and information control is real. Much love to everyone wherever you are on your journey.

serving God does not equal not wearing makeup, pants, etc its about your heart. she could serve God while wearing jewelry, wearing pants, wearing makeup. the joke is that her parents are strict & she has to hide part of who she is because of RELIGION. she could have the BEST relationship with God for all we know.
The scripture says: Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. I say this to make you aware of where the not being able to wear jeans part comes from…. A lot of people don’t know this verse. And a lot of people who do know this verse will argue it because it makes them uncomfortable as a believer in the most high. That’s what we did as a body of sinful people. We received Gods laws and we didn’t follow them. We bent rules just as we do now because it’s what makes us comfortable. Im only giving my input, I’m not trying to start a debate on your comment. I just wanted to give input from another view point.
It’s funny we will dress accordingly to an event where the host may say: “The attire for the night is,‘wear all white; wear all red, wear gold & black, etc. Many of us will adhere to that attire. When it comes to church attire, many feel “just come as you are… God knows.” Yes, He knows what’s the motive behind what we wear. Many of our women’s neckline is meeting our hemline. If you were invited to a beach or pool party, would wear a evening gown or a tuxedo. Regardless of how you dress, God is still God. He will judge every act; behavior.
Grateful for the Pentecostal Apostolic standards that I lived by as a teen and joyfully still do. Modesty is a beautiful thing. God does care how we dress as men and women of God. We should look different and be separate from the dying world we are trying to save. We should not be dressing to sexually attract anyone as a child of God. You can still look very beautiful/handsome & be modest at the same time.
That's exactly the problem they all focus on be different than the world but what they actually do is separate from other peoples hearts that's why we live in a world where everyone believes they are right yet non are Jesus say love people like you love yourself forgive and many other things that actually have nothing to do whit most of the behaviors of religious people I grow up as a Jehovah witness just imagine what I go trueh ... No friends no birthdays and much much more at the end I just don't ever wanna be part of any religion at all
@@ernestoduenas2466 Dear Madam, if we read Bible thoroughly, the Holy spirit will guide you.. There are so many doctrines, denominations etc which try to rub their own beliefs than the Bible.

People who say this (“there’s bigger things to worry about”) get mad if you say living for God and not self demands anything. They just want to cast off all restraint. Speaking of missing the bigger picture: you missed that this girl was lying to her parents, living a dual life and allowing her friends to influence her rather than the other way around. Pot, kettle, black!
This is just reality folks, the young people have to figure it out. Holiness is not a denomination, it’s what’s inside trying to show you a way of no regrets. Peace be with our young people and pray they find their way.
As someone who grew up Pentecostal I am 51 yro now and I thank God for my mother who raised me in the truth!!! ❤ I’m so proud to be a Pentecostal woman 🙏
@@jmcc-lt3lk The book of ACTS is a great place to start, however, there are so many other books that teaches us the truth. Do you know anyone where you live that could get you into a Pentecostal church or maybe introduce you to the Pastor for an at home bible study? I’m sure I could sum it all up for you by typing it here. God Bless you and if you have any questions at all, I promise you that I will get you an answer or get it from someone who does know.
To be a Christian, means to be "Christ like". Therefore that's what it means to be a Christian. I am Apostolic Pentecostal. Apostolic being like the Apostles. Pentecostal, being as, the day they were all in the upper room. Being called "the day of Penteçost" . The book of Acts talks about following the teachings of Jesus... The Christ.
It’s a shame because serving God when your a teenager is such a beautiful thing. This happens when you don’t have a real encounter with God. Parents start praying for your kids to have an encounter with God from the minute there born. 😢
Look even if you wear long skirts or do buns or be really modestly it isnt gonna bring you to salvation because when you bring your heart to god , god ain't gonna judge you about you're aprence god gonna judge you whether you did what he ask all of us to do, but to all my women out there remember that god do want us dress in a way to not seduce men but to dress in a way of modestly well I'm 14 years old and Christian and I hope the son of god comes soon to earth 🙏amen 🙏
Although some of the strict external standards were over the top, let’s not forget the good things that also occurred in many of those Pentecostal churches. People were healed , souls were saved. Some were delivered from addictions. And the power of God was present during the worship. In the personal lives people testified of the mighty works of God in their daily lives. Prayers were answered routinely. Yes, people often went overboard on the outward appearance rules. But they lived as they understood. Today most have learned better. Thank God. But make sure not to toss the good out with the bad.
As for myself I’ll stick with a stricter lifestyle anything you give up for the Lord he will honor you and bless you for it. I have watched the old Pentecostal saints die and heard there dying testimony. I myself desire to leave this world as a Bible living Pentecostal believer.
I can relate to this so much. I grew up via a very strict apostolic grandmother. It wasn’t until my early teens I begin to rebel. I will never forget my upbringing but the no pants, no makeup,no jewelry, and not being able to celebrate Christmas with a tree. It was too much and in my opinion doesn’t have anything to do with salvation.
IT does sis. Those things are vain and idolatry. Christmas is not a Christian holiday. It is nowhere in the Bible. The Tree is idolatry (Jeremiah 10:1-5). The Jewellery and the make up the scripture speaks against it (1 Timothy 2:9-11),(1 Peter 3:3-7),(Deuteronomy 22:5),(Genesis 35:1-4).
@@ShmaAdonaiEhad No brother I don't think so. Salvation is an inside job. I do agree with you on the factor of "Christmas" it's a pagan holiday and it has nothing to do with Christ Jesus. Nevertheless, I still do enjoy it as I have some fond memories of some of my relatives who are no longer here with me. As I eloquently stated before salvation has nothing to do with pants, jewelry etc. God looks within the heart of man, (1 Samuel 16:7) and I will allow God to chastise/convict me if I'm wrong in any way. But I'll leave you with this from the late and great Bishop GE Patterson who breaks it down far better than I ever could. Lastly, when you mentioned "idolize" I don't idolize a pagan holiday over God. To idolize is to worship something and or someone over God. I'm not worshiping pants, jewelry, and or pants over God.

I grew up in a holiness church and used to hide from my parents when I knew I was wrong. Then one day and realized how much I needed Jesus and repented. Now I don't have to hide. Anytime my mind begins to offer excuses (lies) and worldly solutions (sins) to everyday challenges (trials), I rebuke those thoughts and remember the eternal Word of inspired by God. Suitable for doctrine, reproof and edification. He makes my paths straight, keeps my in right relationship and brings my joy, Amen and Amen
We are the light of this world! God says we are a peculiar people! That means we talk, dress, act, live differently from the world.

I grew up pentecostal, 5 generations, and studied every other church and religion and am very happy to be very old fashioned pentecostal christian. After the internet made it possible to see Christians from other parts of the world, it was terribly shocking to see half naked woman calling themselves christian...and now gradually I have got used to it. But I know deep love for Christ will gradually add dignity to men and women and never cause the loss of it to be overlooked.
Are you comfortable with the fact that Pentecostalism was founded by the gay pedophile and false prophet Charles Parham? How do you feel about his prophecy that the world would end in 1925? And his other damnable doctrines?
@@trevrockrock16 I am aware of both the negative and positive things within the pentecostal groups... I love the beautiful things from other denominations. I learn from people who study the Bible with a great love for the truth of God. I listen to Tozer, Chuck Missler, Joshua Selman... Praise God, I don't have any party/ denomination spirit. I can love any Christian and worship together with anyone who loves God truly. I know praying in tongues has brought a deep spiritual understanding of truth. But I never approve of people who are simply noicy and fake.
If you shelter your child to the point of suffocation once they taste freedom they will run amuck. You must allow your child to make decisions and then guide them through those decisions.

Same! I never understood why they do that when we should be questioning WHY the people who judge us on our looks are looking perversely at us. Didn’t Jesus say to pluck out your own eyes if you cant help but lust after them? Of course you should always dress to moderation but c’mon, pants that men wear wont mess up your relationship with GOD. but if they were right, why aren’t men wearing dresses, keeping baggy shirts on a hot too? Men have a lot more ‘junk’ on the lower half to hide than women do; and women lust after men too! They should do it both ways since mankind were created equal, and woman came from man, wo-man.
if you're truly allowing the spirit to drive your life the convictions would be even higher ! look at john the baptist . who the hell taught him to wear and eat what did , the spirit and his relationship with God inspired his whole fashion and diet !!
@@ladarionneal5321big true i was thinking the same thing we Pentecostal are very simple and modest i grow up Pentecostal my family never wear pants and jewelry thank God i went to Christian school most of my friends was Jew.
Which is like the main thing within Pentecostal Christianity. Even from the pulpit just slander disguised as sermons and warnings, but it’s all hellfire damnation and being clean. Give me a break. When Jesus died for all humanity, it means he died FOR ALL HUMANITY AND CREATION ITSELF. XD that sounds like better news than the garabage I was told and believed for years
That's the point. One group of believers values one of those and the other group values the other. It's the individual who values both who may enter Heaven. Not very many people are going, it will be the few who understand it takes all of the Word to be saved.
My mom grew up pentecostal. The men abuse their wives and children, and they treat women like whores. The husbands have affairs. Many kids get molested by the pastors and fathers but the women keep silent. They will tell you you are going to hell for wearing makeup and cutting your hair.

@@roxysparks5003Honestly You shouldn't have to wear dresses everyday like you're in the freemasons Jehovah's witness cult. But you do seem to care too much of what ppl think of you and this won't lead you to love. A man who really loves you(has God's heart for you) won't only think Abt what your body looks like. Showing off your body shows low self esteem and attracts perverts female or male. That being said you don't have to follow weird religious doctrines either where you have to walk around stinking, bald, with a beard and body hair you don't want. You shouldn't be walking around a see through body suit but you shouldn't be wearing clothing you don't even feel comfortable in. Me specifically I get looked at funny because I don't like tight clothing or showing skin so I "dress more masculine". Although This is just what ppl have thought out in the open cause I don't do religion or religious settings.
That’s not true. She just didn’t have a personal encounter with God , she was just following. When she has a personal encounter with, it will come from inside. You can’t know God and remain the same!
I have learned in my life, through my own many many short comings, it all starts with losing that prayer life. But praise God, He is faithful and has been waiting there every time I come back. Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: Deuteronomy 6:4 Jesus is still there waiting sister.
This happens when you preach more on the external, than the internal. The true kingdom of God is not external, is living in the justice of God, In the Shalom he only offers and Joy from knowing the true of God. We are saved by Grace and by Faith and when you live by his WORD not by religion. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PLAY CHRISTIANITY :) :) Great preaching with this video of what not to do... blessings
When God saves you, he cleans you from the inside out. External matters just as much as internal. But what matters internally, isn't the mind or knowledge, it's the heart. God changes the heart.
How do you know w/100% certainty you are sealed with The Holy Spirit, eternally saved and going to Heaven when you die? ANSWER: Because you BELIEVE that the Jesus of The Bible (The Eternally Existing Son of God) shed His Sinlessly Perfect Blood on Calvary's Cross as FULL payment for ALL your sins past, present & future, died, was buried and rose again on the 3rd Day according to the Scriptures for your justification! (1st Corinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians 1:13-14, 2:8-9, Romans 4:5,25, John 3:16, 5:24, 6:47) God made salvation that easy because He loves you that much!!! 🙏
im Pentecostal. I hardly wear pants so 98% I dress modestly (working on my wardrobe) but every now and then, I wear add-ons and makeup. I dont feel convicted or bad when I do it and I keep asking God to MAKE me feel bad if its bad cuz I would give it up than ruin my relationship with God. I polish my toes as well. As I said, I read the book of Ruth and Ruth adorned herself for her husband and Im doing the same.
I think modestly worn is okay -- light makeup to enhance what's there - like brow shape -- natural powder to decrease shine -- sheer lip gloss -- no -- lipstick - small earrings - - clear polish -- no pants tho.........

I grew up a PK-Apostolic / Pentecostal & so did my 9 siblings. I’m still sanctified, but now I have balance. Back then the saints meant well, but everything is not a sin & won’t lead to sin. Most of my siblings do not step foot inside a church. I was there to witness -they did way to much.
Wow, I can definitely relate. Gone are the days when my sisters and I wore the 'Little House on the Prairie' dresses and teased in school where we were nicknamed the Holy Ghost girls. Although a bit strict, our mom meant well and we grew up alright. We know that God looks at the heart of man, but our upbringing didn't harm us in any way. If anything, it helped set us apart when it came to not conforming to this world. TGBTG!
Honestly, I actually think women are more attractive when they dress more modestly. I'm currently in a relationship but if I wasn't I would absolutely be more willing to approach a girl if she is dressing modestly versus showing everything off because to me that shows that she's willing to keep herself only for her significant other and not for other man's eyes which also probably means she's actually going to make a better wife than a girl who simply just wants attention and will never be able to get enough
Yes, this too. Sometimes, it's house rules for the home, other times peer pressure along with that flesh!! The Lord wants us to be set apart, light and dark ness, She is young and being trained!! She's not getting away, neither are we, God can and will pull the cover off and then you are seen, for the person you are, not the one you pretend to be.

When my friend was pulling up to my house to drop me off, and I realized it, I ran back downstairs to get in the car with my friend because I had on a halter top. My dad didn't see me before I jump back in the car and told my friend to pull off. My dad was yelling from the top of the balcony telling me to not come back!🤣 I still left. If they saw me, I was up to creek. I had to call one of my friends in the neighborhood and ask him to ask his sister if I could borrow a t-shirt. I had them put it out in the mailbox. 🤣🤣 I was more prepared to get in trouble for pulling out of the driveway before being seen with a halter top on. That was equivalent to getting pregnant.🙄 In all seriousness, that was an absolute horrible way to live. Even though I snuck out many nights and change clothes many nights, my teenage years was stolen from me. 😢
I’m so sorry to hear that you think your teenage years were stolen because your parents were trying to raise you in the nurture and admonition of the Lord - clearly there was a missing link since you never realized the beauty of what they were trying to share with you. Maybe think about asking Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth of who you were created to be, and who he made your parents to be as well. Wish you all the best.❤
Sounds like you had more/deeper issues than just an imposed dress code. Hope you find healing and clarity. People are never simple, always complicated.
As a Oneness Pentecostal Apostolic, I do not fashion myself after the world. The church has its *own dress, its own sound* and *its own speech.* We are peculiar. What the world offers is junk and of no value. I’m not trading what my Father has given me for that. 🇨🇦
@@BiglariProductionsno, we believe in one God, it's in the ten commandments, no other gods, for I am a jealous God, I do believe in the father son and the holy Ghost, which is Jesus Christ, when you learn something pray about it
Oneness teaching and belief won't allow maturity in the spirit. Trinity is God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus the son was not talking to himself when he prayed or while he was dying on the cross. Full maturity in Christ enable one to preach the "Full Gospel of Jesus Christ" Full Gospel is beyond denominational teachings. There is "no" boasting when one fully understands the Gospel.
@@blessed2539 That’s on you. Depends on how *you* walk with God. I don’t limit God to what people especially people who don’t know me by revelation of the Holy Spirit say.🇨🇦
Naw but she so accurate... I'm not a PK but definitely grew up pentecostal 😂... baby... back in the day you bet not come I to the house of the Lord looking like you you been in the world 😂... I can definitely say I'm so grateful for my church upbringing it was the best... we enjoyed ourselves as kids we didn't really understand but now as we enteredadulthood we definitely appreciate the teaching we were given... Shoutout Lee Temple COGIC ❤
I grew up Apostolic Pentecostal and although my Mom wore dresses and skirts, my parents never MADE me wear them everyday... only to church. They taught modesty. I'm 42, still Apostolic, and still firmly believe in modesty. Modesty goes a long way and not just for clothing. In the same breath, I fully support anyone that wants to wear dresses, no makeup, etc. It's their conviction. We need to focus more on what really matters and let God do the cleaning.
My mother use to be in pentecostal church! We both didn’t like the experience so we just go to a normal church where we can pray & sing without judgment from others.
@@rebarenee7 It’s incredible. I can’t get over this quality writing. It’s a simple trick to have make things double meanings but have there ever been a better implementation of it. So tell me where are you from?
Heathen. In the Bible Jesus calls glossolalia a Pagan practice. “And when you pray, do not babble on like Pagans (Gentiles)…” (Matt 6:7). “In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues (glṓssa)” (Mark 16:17) Bringing shame to Hispanics who are true followers. Yall might as well be Mormons and make a new fake bible
I highly understand this I'm a 15 year old pentecostal and when I was 13 I wanted to fit in and I try to sneak wearing leggings under my skirt and wear long shirt so I didn't get dress coded so I would take off my skirt and when It was the end of the day and I'm on the bus I put on my skirt and act like I didn't do anything but now think about I'm proud of what I have become and proud of who I am to the Lord
We grew up Pentecostal- Church 3x during the week and ALL day Sunday, dinner included. It was tough, but provided my sibs and me a solid base from which to draw strength in our later years.. when each of us turned 16 years old, mom gave us the option to continue the life or trust our faith in what we’ve learned up to that point and stop going to church. Some of us stayed, some of us opted out- but NONE of us suffered some of the hardships that most of our friends endured throughout this lifetime🙏🏽
I, too, grew up in a United Pentecostal Church!!! Spent most of my life in the cult!!! Years I can't ever get back!!! I now have Complex PTSD and Religious Trauma Syndrome because of THIS cult!!! Solid base?!!? What?!!? Extreme anxiety, stress, and depression?!!? They put tons of fear into their congregations!!! Fear, guilt, shame, condemnation, and of course, the freaking aspect of ROASTING in the flames of HELL FIRE was ALWAYS used to get us whipped back into shape and keep us from leaving. And, all the HORROR stories of people who dared to LEAVE!!! Car accidents, people getting into plane accidents, diseases, and the list goes on and on of the beyond HORRIBLE things that could happen to you if you ever left the so-called Church. You'd supposedly LOSE the "hedge of protection" you "used" to have, according to the so-called preachers!!! Just scare tactics!!! Do EVERYTHING we tell you to do and you'll go to heaven!!! If you do ANYTHING outside what WE want you to do, you'll split the gates of HELL wide open!!! That's basically the kind of stuff that they put into your head!!! And, so, they have robots, basically!!! Human robots!!! They NEVER are allowed to question anything the so-called preachers brainwash and indoctrinate you to believe over and over again. And, the emotional MANIPULATION of the people?!!? Even using mass hypnosis on the congregations!!! I will NEVER step back into another so-called Church as long as I live!!! And definitely NOT the United Pentecostal Church if I was to ever have a change of heart. Jim Jones used to go to the United Pentecostal Church before he started his own cult and ended up KILLING his congregation by giving them the cyanide laced Kool-aid drinks. And the United Pentecostal Church was just recently listed as one of the Top Ten Cults in America!!! Should've been listed years and years ago!!! So many people's lives have been completely DESTROYED by the abuse of this cult!!! Now, I smoke medical Marijuana all day long to just EASE and CALM my nerves down!!! Having Complex PTSD and Religious Trauma Syndrome is no joke!!! Extreme Trauma!!! That's NOT exactly what I would call a SOLID base!!! And don't get me started on the freaking sexual abuse going on in the so-called Church!!! Rapists, groomers, pedophiles, and even sex traffickers galore!!! And NOTHING is usually done to prosecute the disgusting offenders, which is usually the so-called preachers. But, it's more than just the preachers!!! The Sunday school teachers, the Sunday school bus drivers, etc, etc, etc!!! I protect my kids from the so-called Church people!!! The religious, but anything but moral or Godly!!! The most hateful and judgmental people I've ever known!!! Who do they NOT hate and judge?!!? Hate is NOT a FAMILY value!!! And, usually, it's a PROJECTION of the repugnant and repulsive things that THEY are doing secretly behind closed doors. Like I said, nothing but liars and hypocrites!!! That's been my experience with the United Pentecostals!!! And, I've been to quite a lot of different United Pentecostal Churches during my time with the organization!!! It's THEIR way or the highway!!! They're like dictators over their congregations!!! So many man made rules, too!!! All capable of sending us to HELL if we broke them!!! Or so we thought, anyways!!! Keeping us totally submissive!!! Keeping us in line!!! Through emotional manipulation!!! And, through fear, guilt, shame, etc!!! All really NEGATIVE feelings!!! NEGATIVE ways of looking at yourself and your life!!! All they truly seem to care about is controlling your every single move in life, your thought life, and of course, the MOST important, your hard earned money!!! That's what they truly seem to care about!!! Nothing else!!!
People really need to look at context of Bible verses. Yes it’s important to follow what the Bible says but the RELATIONSHIP with Christ is what matters most. This is the legalistic side of Pentecostalism
Yep i grew up in Pentecostal Churches and now i am Church of God Cleveland Tennessee and i have been taught about holiness allmy life i have failed and stumbled at time but Gods grace is sufficient and i repented and i,m still a Christian and sing gospel music still to this day ILove Jesus
It’s incredible. I can’t get over this quality writing. It’s a simple trick to have make things double meanings but have there ever been a better implementation of it. How are you doing ! Hope it’s been a beautiful day today?
You are in a imagination world with God because bible says, a new born with christ, can't do sin things You walk away church just because of church said to her to follow bible rules . Newly born, follow the commands that's why he give holy Spirit, But you walk away church just because rules
Sad. Its not about the outside but what the heart is doing...basically showing a false person. I knew a lot of girls like that...most of which got weeded out. Hope you find your way❤
I hated being raised in this religion as a young lady. Yes, it's what's your heart. God knows our hearts and it doesn't begin with our cloths. This is a cultic teaching. I was so grateful for my parents getting out of that when they did. Much happier at 60 years old now and a Baptist. ❤
@@janiceedwards9109 i hope youre right Janice. I guess you only get one chance to get it right...just make sure its following the whole book but the way you dress has to do with your hearts condition, no? David Bernard has some interesting stuff on youtube check him out
Need the Holy Spirit with evidence to have power over our enemy who lurks like a lion. God doesn’t give something like his spirit without proof. I believed I had the Spirit bcuz some man told me that now that I got baptized (in Gods titles: father son Holy Ghost) that I was now saved with the HG dwelling in me. But something told me otherwise. And on a second occasion I realized I had been duped by the lion himself. I obeyed Gods word and got rebaptized in Jesus and waited like the deciples did in the upper room and Got the HG while worshipping and Loving on the Lord and THEN! Then, I spoke in a Heavenly language HE GAVE me! I was changed and the fruit of the Spirit proved it. I was overjoyed!! And went on to do Gods plan for me❤ We cannot be separated or the enemy will attacks. Stay connected
First of all it's a funny skit. I had Pentecostal friends when I was growing up. We all did little teenage things. But it was all innocent, we weren't boy crazy, we all graduated with honors, we all maintained our virginity until we were adults and married AND STIL 'til this day all of us never drink we've never smoked; we put our Creator above everything else, so calm down comment section. Every human being, including the judgmental ones in this comment section, constantly goes through growing pains & changes of Life which includes mental, physical and spiritual searching on life's journey. People in these comments don't give credit that the skit is about youth, a developing brain, raging teen hormones and trying to understand growing into adulthood. Just laugh and move on.
Someone once told me they were kicked out of their church for wearing earrings if I remember correctly. Some of these congregations are so controlling, strict, and judgmental that you simply would rather conform around them than be ostracized or isolated. Then you have the opposite end where people look and act like they are at the club and exhibit no shame or modesty. It can be really difficult to navigate especially for young people and people who are just entering a religion.
One problem in being raised in a strict denomination is that sometimes it can seem to the child (even those who are willing to be humble & honest with God-- which does not seem to be the case here, but just trying to find a way around obeying her parents) that Christianity is based not on a relationship with God, but just following the rules set forth by a religion, which is man's way of working their way to God by keeping a set of rules that must be kept in order to be right with Him. But the Bible says we are not saved by works, "For it is by [God's] grace that we have been saved, not by works, so that no one can boast" (Eph. 2:8-9). However, the sign of true faith in God is fruit, and it says, "You will know a tree by its fruit." It's sad that the only fruit this young woman is bearing is disobeying her parents and being deceptive. I know that her parents are involved in a denomination that is among the strictest, but the Bible (God) clearly states that children should be obedient to their parents (the 5th Commandment, found in many places in God's Word: www.openbible.info/topics/children_obeying_their_parents I was raised in a strict household, and although it was not because of going to church or practicing religion (for I went to church by myself much of the time, if my siblings weren't able to go after they got jobs or moved out), but I did get really involved in Fellowship of Christian Athletes where I heard the Gospel for the first time and understood that God wanted to be my Father but I needed to confess my sin nature before Him and ask for forgiveness of my sins, which Jesus took on and paid the penalty for it on the cross & defeated it by resurrecting from the dead. They told me that I should read at least one chapter from the Bible per day, which I did, stating with the first book in the Bible (b/c no one told me where to started in the New Testament, but I'm glad because by reading the I'll Testament first, I understood God's holiness in a different way I would have if I started elsewhere. I didn't understand a lot of it, but it was important to me to read it so that I could learn more about God because I didn't have any other resources besides Christian radio (& the catecism of a conservative branch of the Luthuran Church). I was like a person dying of hunger or thirst, so I feasted on the Bread of Life and clung to the words of Psalm 42:1, where King David stated, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O Lord." There were times that I was forbidden to go to church, or threatened with not being able to if I got in my guardian (adopted parent's) bad side or if she got in a bad mood. So my perspective is different that this person who is forced to go. I'm glad for my circumstances because I appreciate the privilege of going to church, even though it wasn't the kind of church I may have chosen. If I had the opportunity to mentor this young woman, I would tell her it is unwise to disobey parents (unless the parents are being abusive). I began a personal relationship with God when I was 13 (34 years ago!!! 😮), and my parent was adament about me not getting my ears peirced, wearing makeup, getting my hair cut, and even wearing a bra until I was old enough in her eyes-- which was much older than my friends, and I was teased a lot for being different, but some of those very same friends have confessed that they were just jealous of my "long beautiful hair" back then. And as far as make-up goes, I like really young now as a result of not using a bunch of chemicals all the time (some of which have been linked with cancer). If I were to be mentoring this young woman, I would listen to her, tell her I can relate to how she feels and to any teasing/ bullying she may have gone through, and then I'd suggest that she search her heart to see if there is any sense of rebellion or deception in her heart. While I feel sad for her, I also fear that she will continue to go down the road of bucking against her parents' (God's, simply b/c they are her parents') rules and that this will lead to either ignoring other authority figures' rules (if it hasn't already), particularly if she's doing it to get acceptance from her peers. I would say that I know it's hard right now, but after high school-- and especially after college, where there is a whole lot less peer pressure-- unless she is in a sorority, which I totally avoided for that reason, because God had convinced me that my standing with people is only temporary, but my standing with Him was eternal & because that has eternal consequences, I sought to "please God rather than [people]" (100 verses about this: www.openbible.info/topics/pleasing_god_rather_than_people), especially when I discovered Colossians 3:23: "Whatever you do, work at it heartily as for the Lord and not for [people]."
I was raised and still am Pentecostal and I know that we do not force people to dress like us if they are new she probably is just being a rebellious teenager
@CrislynKeene A lot of Pentecostal so-called Churches DO basically force you to follow ALL the rules because they threaten you with HELL FIRE AND ETERNAL DAMNATION if you mess up and sin. And, don't pray through to the Holy Ghost!!! You're literally told this repeatedly, over and over again!!! Brainwashing and indoctrination!!! And, they use fear as a freaking motivating factor!!! Through emotional manipulation, brainwashing, and indoctrination!!! HELL is always, ALWAYS in the back of your mind because they MAKE you think about it constantly!!! I now have Complex PTSD because of THIS freaking abuse!!! But, sure, tell me more about just how WONDERFUL it supposedly is!!! NOT!!! Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people who have dared to leave the cult!!! Most of us, if not ALL of us, now have Complex PTSD, and Religious Trauma Syndrome!!! Jim Jones used to go to the United Pentecostal Church before he started his own cult and ended up KILLING his congregation by giving them the cyanide laced Kool-aid drink!!! Are you aware of that?!!? He was literally in their yearbooks!!! They probably took him out, but yeah, he was in their yearbooks.
@CrislynKeene And, they also told us over and over again that, if we EVER left the so-called Church, that God would HAUNT us till the day we die!!! And, then, the Judgment Day!!! Hell fire and brimstone!!! Ya know?!!? So, sure, we technically had a choice to obey or not obey the so-called pastor and ALL of his countless man made rules!!! But, when they make almost literally EVERYTHING a heaven and hell issue, and when almost literally EVERYTHING is said to be a sin, you FEAR ever disobeying ANYTHING the so-called pastor tells you to do!!! And, they know that!!! So, of course, THEY take advantage of the whole thing!!! And, here comes the freaking abuse!!! Nothing but abuse!!! They're narcissistic in nature!!! Most of them, anyways!!! Facts!!!
@@Simon_Sez I will do my best if you have any questions. I will be at work most of tomorrow but will check if you have any questions when I get back,. Thank you.,
I was in a United Pentecostal Church for 10 years. I'm thankful for learning what is in the Bible while there. No longer in that church. God knows our hearts whether or not we're wearing a skirt or makeup or jewelry or cutting our hair. There's more, but I'll leave it at that..
Growing up in the Apostolic Pentecostal environment as a third generation Apostolic. I can truly say it's a heart thing. We all look at it differently. True conviction comes from the holy spirit not a religious tradition. Modesty is important, but not looking like the "world" and still missing the mark is possible. I've been in churches where the short sleeved t shirt and jeans got me "side eyed". It's sad but were not all like this. I pray we all love and not be judgemental like the sanhedrin court. LOVE NEVER FAILS! As a future Senior Pastor were going to love on you regardless from the beginning. And give you time while letting the Word of God transform you. Many or us did this living double lives "looking the part but not being it". Yet God walked with us, I thanked God for his GRACE over me. For all those watching this I'm praying for you, grow in faith in GOD, he's definitely worth serving.
My daughter did this in elementary school. Her siblings came to me one day to tell on her. I simply said, “That’s between her and the Lord.” She looked me dead in the eye and said,”You’re my mother. You should be making me wear skirts and dresses.” I was a new Christian at the time. I had told my 3 kids (11&8 yr old) that after they grew out of certain things I would no longer be buying them. After she said that to me I went into their room and took all the items I no longer wanted them to wear. She never gave me another problem about it.
Everyone has to have their own experience. If you are comfortable with doing this then you have not had a real experience with God. And that’s ok. If you’re His you will in His time. ❤
@@blueoval250 the funny thing is that folks who behave that way don’t really know the Lord. Their more about bending people to their will and rules instead of leading them to Jesus and letting Him do the work. I made a lot of mistakes as a young christian mom. Sometimes I feel grateful that my older children even want to have a relationship with me. Even so, I know they have a foundation and that He is always with them. I love them unconditionally and I believe they know that. I feel badly for those who have not had it like that, who have been bullied and oppressed and believe they will never be good enough or live up to their parents/churches standards. It’s never about how good you can be or what you wear. It’s only about Him. I wear what I wear not because I HAVE to but because I want to please Him. It’s not for everyone and that’s ok. I pray one day that you’ll feel the love of God and truly know Him. Then you’d understand.
You're right. Many pentecostal churches support the trans movement. They have pride and trans flag in front of their churches. Guess they support grooming too.
I knew Pentecostal Russian girls that took it up the butt by their boyfriends instead of v@ginally so that when they got married, their new husbands couldn’t say that they weren’t virgins on the first night of consummation.
You can blame your parents all you want but your walk with God is your choice. When judgement day comes everybody will account for themselves and they won't be able to be saved by blaming somebody else.
And, YOU'LL have to stand accountable for all the hateful, arrogant, and judgmental freaking thing YOU have done and said!!! So, yeah, please get off the pedestal you've put yourself up on!!! Come down from your high horse!!! You're NOT any better than anyone else!!! You just think you are!!! That's all!!!
And, for literally leading people AWAY from God Almighty!!! Ya sure don't make people want to go to your type of so-called Church by doing and saying the things you're doing and saying!!! People are sick and tired of all the freaking hate, the judgments, the arrogance, the self righteousness, the holier-than-thou attitudes, and the hypocrisy!!! They're also extremely tired of the GREEDY so-called preachers!!! Go preach to someone who freaking cares!!! You guys love to PROJECT onto OTHERS what YOU are doing secretly behind closed doors, yourselves!!! Giant hypocrites and liars!!! Pedophiles and groomers run rampant in the so-called Church!!! Instead of trying to actually DEAL with the problem, the repugnant and repulsive so-called Church DEFENDS the perpetrators and ships them to ANOTHER so-called Church so they can molest more and more kids. No real accountability!!! No real punishment!!! No jail or prison time for them!!! Somehow, they get away with the horrible, HORRIBLE abuse!!! But, it's usually the so-called preachers who are molesting little kids and grooming them!!! Or, it's the Sunday school teachers or bus drivers!!! Etc, etc, etc!!! But, what, exactly, has the cult done to AVOID this from happening again and again?!!? Over and over?!!? Hardly anything!!! Not sure they have done anything!!! They're NOT taking it seriously because THEY are the usual suspects and the usual perpetrators!!! Try cleaning up your own front yard before trying to clean up everybody else's!!! You guys are nothing but liars and hypocrites like I said before!!! And, not saying that YOU, personally, are a freaking repugnant and repulsive groomer or a pedophile!!! But, yeah, the so-called Church is FULL of them types of disgusting and deplorable people!!! Yet, THEY want to accuse EVERYBODY ELSE of being a groomer and pedophile!!! Especially the gays and lesbians!!! The TRANS people and the drag queens!!! They're NOT the ones who keep getting BUSTED, one after another, for pedophilia and for grooming!!! Or for sex trafficking!!! It's usually the so-called preachers and the so-called Christians who project onto OTHERS what THEY are doing!!! And, I love how you just ignore the posts that you don't want to respond back to due to the fact that you don't really know HOW to respond back in an intelligent way. You have NO problems responding back to those who you feel like you can win the argument. And I can tell you love to argue!!! So, what's your problem?!!? Cat got your tongue all of a sudden?!!? I think it's just that you don't want to look STUPID, and you know that you really have NO idea what you're talking about most of the time.
@Libertas.Aeterna1776 nope. It'll be because she knowingly chose to disobey her parents and her pastor in being taught the standards of Holiness. The Bible (and actually more specifically God Himself) said that if you are a child of God that you are to "come out from the world and be ye separate" basically meaning that once you are saved, the Spirit of God will put convictions in your heart to not talk like the world, to not act like the world, and YES, to not dress like the world. If you see a firefighter, or a police officer, or a soldier, or a fry cook, or a heart surgeon, etc. Etc, you know exactly who you're looking at because of the way that they're dressed. How strange is it then when people become confused of why they think that being saved just means you can continue talking, acting, and dressing the same way you were before you became "a new creature in Christ" as the New Testament puts it. Not saying that you have to change everything about yourself the day that you become saved (nor do I think that God would expect that from you) But It shouldn't take too long If you truly were saved to figure those type of things out Because your pastor and church elders around you would have discipled you And taught you Right from wrong and about what pleases and displeases God. God is a merciful lamb but he is also A lion And a lot of people forget that. God is all loving, but you cannot be all loving without being just. God is never going to force anybody into heaven if they don't want to go, in other words, God is not going to force anybody to have a relationship with Him if they choose they don't want to actually have one. Salvation Is not about shaking a preacher's hand Or repeating A couple of Bible verses and then only going to church on Easter and Christmas But it's about having a daily walk with God, and if you have a daily walk with God then you're probably not going to be making youtube videos flaunting what you know would be displeasing to Him. Thats Rebellion and rebellion stems from pride which is definitely not something a true follower of Christ would have in their heart.
This is called dressing humbly... When you wear a buncha jewlry, pants and make up, your show off whatever you have causing envy in others. Also some of the stuff mentioned like pants, can provoke lust in men when they see dem curves and jiggles if you know what am sayin' 😅 So you help people by dressing humbly because they wont have anything to envy or lust over, causing them to focus more on what God gives them
😂😂😂😂 this was literally me growing up Amish. Pulling on my dress over my jeans and putting on my head covering so my mom wouldn’t suspect i was wearing forbidden clothes😅
I had a friend in high school. I'll never forget her I always brought her outfits jeans & tees to change into Melinda wherever you are. I hope your life is as beautiful as you wanted it!!!!
Yes, it is true that God‘s word tells us that a woman should not wear anything that pertain to a man, and it also explains to us why we should not choose to wear jewelry, because of what it meant and symbolized in the word of God. However, those things will come out of conviction, personal conviction from the Holy Ghost when you have the right relationship with God, and you have been filled with his spirit, we are only led by the spirit of God, not by what man dictates to us, but what God says in his word. I am thankful to have a pastor in my life who doesn’t judge or threaten individuals by their choices. However, he preaches the truth, and allows the Holy Ghost to convict them of those things, we are all going to stand before God one on one on judgment day no one is going to be there to hold Our hand. It will be us in Jesus, so just know if you seek a true relationship with the Lord, he will convict you of certain things, but he is a gentleman and he has given us a free will so we have to make those choices for ourselves, because we love him, we want to be pleasing to him. Be blessed.
And when you do it for people, it will never work. But when you do it for God because you love him and hes word, it will ALL work out perfectly well................
As a PK, I understand this. Many pks fall out quickly because ever since we were born, we automatically had to carry standards. Growing up, we never had the chance or choice to choose between what was right and wrong ourselves. Whenever we did something that was not seen as right, at least to have the feel or experience, we were judged and put on the spotlight there and then by everyone in church. I, however, grew up a strong-willed person, so to this day, I still don't know how it feels like to say, "I have to change," but I do have and see fellow pks in this situation, I don't judge them though because I understand. The truth is only PKs will be able to understand other PKs.
What kind of comment is that? A True Loving parent who CARES would NEVER let u go "try drugs for yourself to see if it's right or wrong and choose whatever u want to do. Good parents NEVER want their child led astray before they can show them the way. They will rebuke and correct u so u can have a strong good foundation, so that even after u grow and find yourself in certain situations, i will remember your morals/values and know how to better handle yourself.
I have given a lot of upvotes to these comments. And a few downvotes. But, I feel I DO have to respond to THIS comment. It is simply, we do NOT get to choose what is right or what is wrong. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. Always has been and always will be. We have parents and leaders to guide us and show us the way. Yes, some do it in a hard way. They don’t show the love of God as they perhaps should. That doesn’t make what they are teaching of none affect. We have all had teachers in school who taught correctly but were jerks. That didn’t make what they were teaching wrong. And, yes, God is love! And God loves us so very much. He is a VERY merciful and VERY forgiving God. BUT, He also DOES require something of us. He does have rules we must follow. He sees not as man sees but sees our hearts. Yes! Truth! But, what does man see in THIS young lady? A “Pentecostal” girl? Her HEART shows another matter entirely. So very sad.
@@sandracapps5543 Yes. you are right I won't deny that all I was trying to say is that PKs don't get to grow up learning and making mistakes, they are just born and automatically put in the spotlight where they are judged for every decision they make while other children grow up and are never judged. Ultimately, they are human too, bound to make mistakes so they don't deserve to be judged or talked about. My personal view though, everyone has their own 🤷♀
I was taught from a young age, “if it’s not on your insides, then it sure won’t show on your outsides” (appearances). The same is also true- If the outside looks like the world then the inside is not clean. If you don’t like that then maybe you need the Holy Ghost because it’s the truth anyhow!
I, like you, grew up in a Pc pastor's home. I am so thankful for that, because it gave me a rock-solid foundation for life. Both my parents have gone on to a better place- PLEASE, cherish them while you can. Don't live with a lot of regret.
It’s incredible. I can’t get over this quality writing. It’s a simple trick to have make things double meanings but have there ever been a better implementation of it .

This happens when there is a stronger emphasis on standards than relationship with God
When we have a personal relationship with the Lord, we will maintain high standards.

I witnessed this so much growing up. It made me so sad in HS when they said “If God wanted my eyebrows to be groomed he would have said so. I’m leaving the hair where he puts it. And my nails, if they were ok to be whatever color, I would have been born that way.”
I was trying to tell them, the same way you brush your hair, you can tweeze your eyebrow hairs that are out of place. You can have pink nails and still be Gods child. With the logic you have explained to me, I could also say “Why brush your hair? If God wanted it to be tame he would have made it stay that way without intervention from your hair brush.” And many other examples. I hurt so badly for them.
Stfu ur jus making shit up
Why brush your teeth, he would have made them self brushing 😅
I'm a pastor's wife and mom to 3 young men. They have always been allowed to be themselves- have long hair (I know, I know 😮), wear what they want to wear etc. I stood my ground when people made their silly comments questioning my parenting. My boys had/have a solid foundation and the capability to find themselves on their own with it. They're 19 (twins) and 28 now. Clean cut and totally grown out of wearing all black and hoodies 24/7.. lol Clothes and hair wasn't on the top of my priorities to battle and they turned out just fine ❤

My parents raised me in a nondenominational home and I never felt pressured. We learned about the Bible in the home rather than in a church because that was the whole point of church not being just a building. It was a gathering.
I wore what I was comfortable in, but still represented my aesthetic with leather jackets and what not. I was still modest and respectful. Still loved God and celebrated my differences from others because I was made uniquely like others.
You should never feel pressured.

I Am A Pentacoastal Man & I Found JESUS At Home After The Death Of A Beloved Uncle Who Was A Jehovah's Witness, I Don't Know How But It Brought Me To CHRIST. Then I Decided To Join A Non Denominational Church & Began My WALK, Some Years Later My SPIRIT Was Tested & I Fell & Fell Hard Fast forward 8 Years Later. JESUS Reached For Me & Responded. Found My Brother Whom I Was Close To Before & He Encouraged Me To Join A Pentacoastal Church & I Returned To My First LOVE, Which Was My LOVE For CHRIST..NOW My FAITH Is Strengthened Like Never Before & My Heart Sings For The Goodness Of GOD.

@@djpopcorn When Jesus had brought about Christianity, it was supposed to be for everyone and without division. What I mean by non-denominational is that those Christians don't go by any other title other than Christian as they're not a part of any main-line (popular) sections. They don't need to go to a church building to learn about the Bible from a pastor, but instead criticize and learn together. Skeptism was encouraged.
The whole point of it was to not be main-line like Catholicism, Baptist, etc. It's been around for thousands of years but was only given any recognition in the 20th century.
I carried my Bible to school and open the word of God up and taught the word in high school. If there had been some water I would have started baptizing my class mates. And after all those years 2 of my class mates are still serving God.

Im an apostolic Pentecostal and you dont need to be ashamed of living for god.. god sees ur position and where u are at❤
God with a capital G!! RESPECT!!
I grew up Pentecostal, am 48 now, still a proud Apostolic! I never did this myself, but I did have friends from my church back then that did this exact thing. Never got a love for the truth. When I compare my life to theirs now??…I’m so thankful that I got a hold of something real as a young person. Their lives are so messed up. Not one of them are living for God today. Married 3,4,5x…problems with drugs and alcohol, estranged from their familes, from their own kids because of terrible lifestyles. I remember kids in high school telling me to just wait, that when i hit 18 i would b outta there. Nope. Nothing that was offered to me could ever take the place of what i found in serving God with all my heart. I don’t regret a mile I’ve traveled for the Lord.
American society is so debased and predatory that I think that without religion, you're essentially screwed. I'm from the UK and travel full-time. Americans are, by far, the most obnoxious, ignorant and straight forwardly insane people I encounter on my travels. The women are narcissistic beyond belief.
Thou shall not judge😢
@@johnstow5613 lol everyone loves that scripture because u feel it gives u some kind of leeway to do what u wanna do and no one can judge u for it. Problem is i don’t think many people read the rest of that verse…judge not that u be not judged…”for with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged.” So what that says is that if I’m gonna judge others (which is only possible thru the Word of God) i better be willing to be judged by the same Word. The Word judges me every day. If i don’t live up to it that’s my own fault. So it’s not ME that is judging…the Bible is a book or mercy AND judgement. Totally different if i am looking down my noses at anyone that lives different from me. I don’t think I’m better than anyone else. But i can learn from the mistakes of others. Don’t tell me u don’t do that.
@@LittleOlMe75 Angie, the lord be with you. Your ways are prosperous in Jesus name. I feel that you are right. We should not be afraid to point out when people don’t get things right. The “me culture” or “I’m always right” culture will end up destroying western civilization. Was watching a documentary the other day where people couldn’t even define a woman. Your country and other European countries brought Christianity to where I live. Yet, secularism is the order of the day in these countries traditionally associated with biblical Christianity.
@@johnstow5613 don’t get me wrong. I don’t go around pointing out what others are doing wrong. However if i live a Godly life, the righteousness of God brings condemnation to sinful living. I live in a small enough community that nearly everyone can meet me and know where i go to church because i live what i believe. I don’t have to say a word and people who curse in front of me will apologize because they can sense a difference. So i let the Book do the judging. I just have to b willing to live it in front of all these people. I don’t know where u live but am thankful u find hope in Jesus! He’s the only way out of this world!
I’m non denomination and when you get convicted by the Holy Spirit you know because you feel the need and want to do right by the word of God. I was never forced into living right I chose it and I will never regret it

Wow my sister do same tine in Jamaica change clothe.or put on bk long shirt.
Christians when a woman wears clothes:
serving God does not equal not wearing makeup, pants, etc
its about your heart. she could serve God while wearing jewelry, wearing pants, wearing makeup. the joke is that her parents are strict & she has to hide part of who she is because of RELIGION. she could have the BEST relationship with God for all we know.
We must love because we're all guilty of sin. It's a process definitely a heart thing. I thank God for his grace and patience with us all.
The scripture says:
Deuteronomy 22:5
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
I say this to make you aware of where the not being able to wear jeans part comes from…. A lot of people don’t know this verse. And a lot of people who do know this verse will argue it because it makes them uncomfortable as a believer in the most high. That’s what we did as a body of sinful people. We received Gods laws and we didn’t follow them. We bent rules just as we do now because it’s what makes us comfortable.
Im only giving my input, I’m not trying to start a debate on your comment. I just wanted to give input from another view point.
It’s funny we will dress accordingly to an event where the host may say: “The attire for the night is,‘wear all white; wear all red, wear gold & black, etc. Many of us will adhere to that attire. When it comes to church attire, many feel “just come as you are… God knows.” Yes, He knows what’s the motive behind what we wear. Many of our women’s neckline is meeting our hemline.
If you were invited to a beach or pool party, would wear a evening gown or a tuxedo.
Regardless of how you dress, God is still God. He will judge every act; behavior.
Modesty is beautiful
God gave standards, and disobedience to God, is a sin, and when there is sin between you and God, there is no relationship between you and God.
The fear of the Lord brings wisdom. Honor God, Honor your parents
It's a process definitely a heart thing. I thank God for his grace and patience with us all.
Grateful for the Pentecostal Apostolic standards that I lived by as a teen and joyfully still do. Modesty is a beautiful thing. God does care how we dress as men and women of God. We should look different and be separate from the dying world we are trying to save. We should not be dressing to sexually attract anyone as a child of God. You can still look very beautiful/handsome & be modest at the same time.
I love this comment.

Although some of the strict external standards were over the top, let’s not forget the good things that also occurred in many of those Pentecostal churches. People were healed , souls were saved. Some were delivered from addictions. And the power of God was present during the worship. In the personal lives people testified of the mighty works of God in their daily lives. Prayers were answered routinely. Yes, people often went overboard on the outward appearance rules. But they lived as they understood. Today most have learned better. Thank God. But make sure not to toss the good out with the bad.
As for myself I’ll stick with a stricter lifestyle anything you give up for the Lord he will honor you and bless you for it. I have watched the old Pentecostal saints die and heard there dying testimony. I myself desire to leave this world as a Bible living Pentecostal believer.

I will never forget my upbringing but the no pants, no makeup,no jewelry, and not being able to celebrate Christmas with a tree. It was too much and in my opinion doesn’t have anything to do with salvation.
IT does sis. Those things are vain and idolatry. Christmas is not a Christian holiday. It is nowhere in the Bible. The Tree is idolatry (Jeremiah 10:1-5). The Jewellery and the make up the scripture speaks against it (1 Timothy 2:9-11),(1 Peter 3:3-7),(Deuteronomy 22:5),(Genesis 35:1-4).

@@ShmaAdonaiEhad No brother I don't think so. Salvation is an inside job. I do agree with you on the factor of "Christmas" it's a pagan holiday and it has nothing to do with Christ Jesus. Nevertheless, I still do enjoy it as I have some fond memories of some of my relatives who are no longer here with me. As I eloquently stated before salvation has nothing to do with pants, jewelry etc. God looks within the heart of man, (1 Samuel 16:7) and I will allow God to chastise/convict me if I'm wrong in any way. But I'll leave you with this from the late and great Bishop GE Patterson who breaks it down far better than I ever could. Lastly, when you mentioned "idolize" I don't idolize a pagan holiday over God. To idolize is to worship something and or someone over God. I'm not worshiping pants, jewelry, and or pants over God.

Having a relationship with God will make us want to obey God's commands, just as David says all throughout Psalms, Teach me your commands! Sadly, seeing so many "Christians" go against God's actual scripture tells me how many people are lost, and they are actually the ones following man's tradition, as they are rejecting the Bible and adding their own convictions, against God's word. Keep speaking the truth! God's word is above man's opinions. Amen.
How we dress ourselves is often an outer expression of our inner desire to love and serve God.
This used to be me and my sister when we were not saved
Blind walking in darkness thinking this was joy freedom of doing whatever we wanted
But I didn't realize how close to death I was ...i was going to places I shouldn't have doing drugs... But by the mercy of God and prayers he saved me on April 19 2005 will never forget it. And now I live for God out of gratitude and I'll do whatever he ask of me ...even dressing in skirts no problem he does care about how we dress and make up he showed me in the Bible when he was changing my heart I left that now thats the least I can do after all he's done
Amen to that
Amen. Beautiful
Glory be to God
And if you feel convicted of it, absolutely you should do that. But please never be one who condemns and judges those of us who do not.
Im an apostolic pentecostal and I love it!! It's literally the best life! I've finally gotten it for myself and would never be anything different!
Same! It’s the best life you can live!🎉❤

When your parents teach sin but not actually about God
Y’all talking about the modesty and god.
I’m tired of being thought of as fat when I wear big baggy clothes.
She’s still dressed modestly in this while also showing she has a nice figure/ some degree of fitness.
It sucks being thought of as having an unattractive body all the time in the name of “modesty”.
Her outfit is already a level of modesty.
@Praw-Too-Ehleem
It can be wearing for people to presume you’re overweight cuz of the baggy clothes.
lie
No, it has to do with pressure from society and being young.
@@roxysparks5003Honestly You shouldn't have to wear dresses everyday like you're in the freemasons Jehovah's witness cult. But you do seem to care too much of what ppl think of you and this won't lead you to love. A man who really loves you(has God's heart for you) won't only think Abt what your body looks like. Showing off your body shows low self esteem and attracts perverts female or male.
That being said you don't have to follow weird religious doctrines either where you have to walk around stinking, bald, with a beard and body hair you don't want. You shouldn't be walking around a see through body suit but you shouldn't be wearing clothing you don't even feel comfortable in.
Me specifically I get looked at funny because I don't like tight clothing or showing skin so I "dress more masculine". Although This is just what ppl have thought out in the open cause I don't do religion or religious settings.
Do what you please because according to the Bible God loves you no matter what
That’s not how that works
Also according to the bible god encourages raping children if you slaughter their father….. so I wouldn’t pay much attention to that book 🤷🏽♀️
That’s not true. She just didn’t have a personal encounter with God , she was just following. When she has a personal encounter with, it will come from inside. You can’t know God and remain the same!
I have learned in my life, through my own many many short comings, it all starts with losing that prayer life. But praise God, He is faithful and has been waiting there every time I come back.
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
Deuteronomy 6:4
Jesus is still there waiting sister.
I pray this woman truly finds an encounter with the LORD . AMEN 🙏
This happens when you preach more on the external, than the internal. The true kingdom of God is not external, is living in the justice of God, In the Shalom he only offers and Joy from knowing the true of God. We are saved by Grace and by Faith and when you live by his WORD not by religion. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PLAY CHRISTIANITY :) :) Great preaching with this video of what not to do... blessings
I thank God for his grace and patience with us all. It's a process definitely a heart thing.
When God saves you, he cleans you from the inside out. External matters just as much as internal. But what matters internally, isn't the mind or knowledge, it's the heart. God changes the heart.
U can’t even just be ur natural self
I live for me💯💯💯👏🏾🔥🔥
I love being Apostolic Pentecostal. It was never forced, it was a choice.
I thank God for his grace and patience with us all. It's a process definitely a heart thing.
That’s the difference. You weren’t forced.
How do you know w/100% certainty you are sealed with The Holy Spirit, eternally saved and going to Heaven when you die?
ANSWER: Because you BELIEVE that the Jesus of The Bible (The Eternally Existing Son of God) shed His Sinlessly Perfect Blood on Calvary's Cross as FULL payment for ALL your sins past, present & future, died, was buried and rose again on the 3rd Day according to the Scriptures for your justification! (1st Corinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians 1:13-14, 2:8-9, Romans 4:5,25, John 3:16, 5:24, 6:47)
God made salvation that easy because He loves you that much!!! 🙏
im Pentecostal. I hardly wear pants so 98% I dress modestly (working on my wardrobe) but every now and then, I wear add-ons and makeup. I dont feel convicted or bad when I do it and I keep asking God to MAKE me feel bad if its bad cuz I would give it up than ruin my relationship with God. I polish my toes as well. As I said, I read the book of Ruth and Ruth adorned herself for her husband and Im doing the same.
I think modestly worn is okay -- light makeup to enhance what's there - like brow shape -- natural powder to decrease shine -- sheer lip gloss -- no -- lipstick - small earrings - - clear polish -- no pants tho.........

I grew up a PK-Apostolic / Pentecostal & so did my 9 siblings. I’m still sanctified, but now I have balance. Back then the saints meant well, but everything is not a sin & won’t lead to sin. Most of my siblings do not step foot inside a church. I was there to witness -they did way to much.
Yup it's a process definitely a heart thing.
That's why God give holy spirit, to obey his commands
Wow, I can definitely relate. Gone are the days when my sisters and I wore the 'Little House on the Prairie' dresses and teased in school where we were nicknamed the Holy Ghost girls. Although a bit strict, our mom meant well and we grew up alright. We know that God looks at the heart of man, but our upbringing didn't harm us in any way. If anything, it helped set us apart when it came to not conforming to this world. TGBTG!
What your faith in?
That style has actually come Back in the Church, it’s quite Cute. 🤍
🌸
?
Honestly, I actually think women are more attractive when they dress more modestly. I'm currently in a relationship but if I wasn't I would absolutely be more willing to approach a girl if she is dressing modestly versus showing everything off because to me that shows that she's willing to keep herself only for her significant other and not for other man's eyes which also probably means she's actually going to make a better wife than a girl who simply just wants attention and will never be able to get enough
Holy Ghost Girls??? 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, this too. Sometimes, it's house rules for the home, other times peer pressure along with that flesh!! The Lord wants us to be set apart, light and dark ness, She is young and being trained!! She's not getting away, neither are we, God can and will pull the cover off and then you are seen, for the person you are, not the one you pretend to be.
#NailedIt 🎯💯🤣🤣🤣🤣 I embarrassed to tell you how many years I changed clothes in the car. One day I forgot my bag of changing clothes in my room. When my friend was pulling up to my house to drop me off, and I realized it, I ran back downstairs to get in the car with my friend because I had on a halter top. My dad didn't see me before I jump back in the car and told my friend to pull off. My dad was yelling from the top of the balcony telling me to not come back!🤣 I still left. If they saw me, I was up to creek. I had to call one of my friends in the neighborhood and ask him to ask his sister if I could borrow a t-shirt. I had them put it out in the mailbox. 🤣🤣 I was more prepared to get in trouble for pulling out of the driveway before being seen with a halter top on. That was equivalent to getting pregnant.🙄
In all seriousness, that was an absolute horrible way to live. Even though I snuck out many nights and change clothes many nights, my teenage years was stolen from me. 😢
I’m so sorry to hear that you think your teenage years were stolen because your parents were trying to raise you in the nurture and admonition of the Lord - clearly there was a missing link since you never realized the beauty of what they were trying to share with you. Maybe think about asking Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth of who you were created to be, and who he made your parents to be as well. Wish you all the best.❤
@@stillworkingonthatcorrect. The wrong clothes = hell. I hope you’re wearing brown shoe strings or it’s straight to hell for you.
Sounds like you had more/deeper issues than just an imposed dress code. Hope you find healing and clarity. People are never simple, always complicated.
Thank for sharing, we probably all been there, God's grace is like no other.
@@stillworkingonthatAmen!
As a Oneness Pentecostal Apostolic, I do not fashion myself after the world. The church has its *own dress, its own sound* and *its own speech.* We are peculiar. What the world offers is junk and of no value. I’m not trading what my Father has given me for that. 🇨🇦
Why Oneness? You dont believe in the Trinity?
@@BiglariProductionsno, we believe in one God, it's in the ten commandments, no other gods, for I am a jealous God, I do believe in the father son and the holy Ghost, which is Jesus Christ, when you learn something pray about it
@@cargotoolshop5319 Amen. One God and His name is *Jesus.* 🇨🇦
Oneness teaching and belief won't allow maturity in the spirit.
Trinity is God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Jesus the son was not talking to himself when he prayed or while he was dying on the cross.
Full maturity in Christ enable one to preach the "Full Gospel of Jesus Christ"
Full Gospel is beyond denominational teachings.
There is "no" boasting when one fully understands the Gospel.
@@blessed2539 That’s on you. Depends on how *you* walk with God. I don’t limit God to what people especially people who don’t know me by revelation of the Holy Spirit say.🇨🇦

I grew up Apostolic Pentecostal and although my Mom wore dresses and skirts, my parents never MADE me wear them everyday... only to church. They taught modesty. I'm 42, still Apostolic, and still firmly believe in modesty. Modesty goes a long way and not just for clothing. In the same breath, I fully support anyone that wants to wear dresses, no makeup, etc. It's their conviction. We need to focus more on what really matters and let God do the cleaning.
This is beautiful. Thank you!! ❤
My mother use to be in pentecostal church! We both didn’t like the experience so we just go to a normal church where we can pray & sing without judgment from others.
I thank God for his grace and patience with us all. It's a process definitely a heart thing.

Heathen. In the Bible Jesus calls glossolalia a Pagan practice. “And when you pray, do not babble on like Pagans (Gentiles)…” (Matt 6:7). “In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues (glṓssa)” (Mark 16:17) Bringing shame to Hispanics who are true followers. Yall might as well be Mormons and make a new fake bible
So you spent 64 years not having a brain of your own? What a waist of life
You don't have to be religious to "live right".
@@Mortthemoosethere's no standard of right living if you're not
I highly understand this I'm a 15 year old pentecostal and when I was 13 I wanted to fit in and I try to sneak wearing leggings under my skirt and wear long shirt so I didn't get dress coded so I would take off my skirt and when It was the end of the day and I'm on the bus I put on my skirt and act like I didn't do anything but now think about I'm proud of what I have become and proud of who I am to the Lord
Yup it's a process definitely a heart thing.
We grew up Pentecostal-
Church 3x during the week and ALL day Sunday, dinner included.
It was tough, but provided my sibs and me a solid base from which to draw strength in our later years.. when each of us turned 16 years old, mom gave us the option to continue the life or trust our faith in what we’ve learned up to that point and stop going to church. Some of us stayed, some of us opted out- but NONE of us suffered some of the hardships that most of our friends endured throughout this lifetime🙏🏽
I, too, grew up in a United Pentecostal Church!!! Spent most of my life in the cult!!! Years I can't ever get back!!! I now have Complex PTSD and Religious Trauma Syndrome because of THIS cult!!! Solid base?!!? What?!!? Extreme anxiety, stress, and depression?!!? They put tons of fear into their congregations!!! Fear, guilt, shame, condemnation, and of course, the freaking aspect of ROASTING in the flames of HELL FIRE was ALWAYS used to get us whipped back into shape and keep us from leaving. And, all the HORROR stories of people who dared to LEAVE!!! Car accidents, people getting into plane accidents, diseases, and the list goes on and on of the beyond HORRIBLE things that could happen to you if you ever left the so-called Church. You'd supposedly LOSE the "hedge of protection" you "used" to have, according to the so-called preachers!!! Just scare tactics!!! Do EVERYTHING we tell you to do and you'll go to heaven!!! If you do ANYTHING outside what WE want you to do, you'll split the gates of HELL wide open!!! That's basically the kind of stuff that they put into your head!!! And, so, they have robots, basically!!! Human robots!!! They NEVER are allowed to question anything the so-called preachers brainwash and indoctrinate you to believe over and over again. And, the emotional MANIPULATION of the people?!!? Even using mass hypnosis on the congregations!!! I will NEVER step back into another so-called Church as long as I live!!! And definitely NOT the United Pentecostal Church if I was to ever have a change of heart. Jim Jones used to go to the United Pentecostal Church before he started his own cult and ended up KILLING his congregation by giving them the cyanide laced Kool-aid drinks. And the United Pentecostal Church was just recently listed as one of the Top Ten Cults in America!!! Should've been listed years and years ago!!! So many people's lives have been completely DESTROYED by the abuse of this cult!!! Now, I smoke medical Marijuana all day long to just EASE and CALM my nerves down!!! Having Complex PTSD and Religious Trauma Syndrome is no joke!!! Extreme Trauma!!! That's NOT exactly what I would call a SOLID base!!! And don't get me started on the freaking sexual abuse going on in the so-called Church!!! Rapists, groomers, pedophiles, and even sex traffickers galore!!! And NOTHING is usually done to prosecute the disgusting offenders, which is usually the so-called preachers. But, it's more than just the preachers!!! The Sunday school teachers, the Sunday school bus drivers, etc, etc, etc!!! I protect my kids from the so-called Church people!!! The religious, but anything but moral or Godly!!! The most hateful and judgmental people I've ever known!!! Who do they NOT hate and judge?!!? Hate is NOT a FAMILY value!!! And, usually, it's a PROJECTION of the repugnant and repulsive things that THEY are doing secretly behind closed doors. Like I said, nothing but liars and hypocrites!!! That's been my experience with the United Pentecostals!!! And, I've been to quite a lot of different United Pentecostal Churches during my time with the organization!!! It's THEIR way or the highway!!! They're like dictators over their congregations!!! So many man made rules, too!!! All capable of sending us to HELL if we broke them!!! Or so we thought, anyways!!! Keeping us totally submissive!!! Keeping us in line!!! Through emotional manipulation!!! And, through fear, guilt, shame, etc!!! All really NEGATIVE feelings!!! NEGATIVE ways of looking at yourself and your life!!! All they truly seem to care about is controlling your every single move in life, your thought life, and of course, the MOST important, your hard earned money!!! That's what they truly seem to care about!!! Nothing else!!!
People really need to look at context of Bible verses. Yes it’s important to follow what the Bible says but the RELATIONSHIP with Christ is what matters most. This is the legalistic side of Pentecostalism
Yep i grew up in Pentecostal Churches and now i am Church of God Cleveland Tennessee and i have been taught about holiness allmy life i have failed and stumbled at time but Gods grace is sufficient and i repented and i,m still a Christian and sing gospel music still to this day ILove Jesus
I thank God for his grace and patience with us all. It's a process definitely a heart thing.

I hated being raised in this religion as a young lady. Yes, it's what's your heart. God knows our hearts and it doesn't begin with our cloths. This is a cultic teaching. I was so grateful for my parents getting out of that when they did. Much happier at 60 years old now and a Baptist. ❤

Need the Holy Spirit with evidence to have power over our enemy who lurks like a lion. God doesn’t give something like his spirit without proof. I believed I had the Spirit bcuz some man told me that now that I got baptized (in Gods titles: father son Holy Ghost) that I was now saved with the HG dwelling in me. But something told me otherwise. And on a second occasion I realized I had been duped by the lion himself. I obeyed Gods word and got rebaptized in Jesus and waited like the deciples did in the upper room and Got the HG while worshipping and Loving on the Lord and THEN! Then, I spoke in a Heavenly language HE GAVE me! I was changed and the fruit of the Spirit proved it. I was overjoyed!! And went on to do Gods plan for me❤
We cannot be separated or the enemy will attacks. Stay connected
Wow, I didn't know this because I'm Catholic, so it's actually great seeing these shorts because I can learn things.
First of all it's a funny skit. I had Pentecostal friends when I was growing up. We all did little teenage things. But it was all innocent, we weren't boy crazy, we all graduated with honors, we all maintained our virginity until we were adults and married AND STIL 'til this day all of us never drink we've never smoked; we put our Creator above everything else, so calm down comment section.
Every human being, including the judgmental ones in this comment section, constantly goes through growing pains & changes of Life which includes mental, physical and spiritual searching on life's journey.
People in these comments don't give credit that the skit is about youth, a developing brain, raging teen hormones and trying to understand growing into adulthood. Just laugh and move on.
God bless you 🙏🏽
Nothing funny about deceit, we should be truthful about ourselves, our parents may not like it. Once your life aligns with God's Word, it's all good.
Ang, you are a kind compassionate understanding person with a sense of humor ❤ your wise words
Someone once told me they were kicked out of their church for wearing earrings if I remember correctly. Some of these congregations are so controlling, strict, and judgmental that you simply would rather conform around them than be ostracized or isolated. Then you have the opposite end where people look and act like they are at the club and exhibit no shame or modesty. It can be really difficult to navigate especially for young people and people who are just entering a religion.
One problem in being raised in a strict denomination is that sometimes it can seem to the child (even those who are willing to be humble & honest with God-- which does not seem to be the case here, but just trying to find a way around obeying her parents) that Christianity is based not on a relationship with God, but just following the rules set forth by a religion, which is man's way of working their way to God by keeping a set of rules that must be kept in order to be right with Him. But the Bible says we are not saved by works, "For it is by [God's] grace that we have been saved, not by works, so that no one can boast" (Eph. 2:8-9). However, the sign of true faith in God is fruit, and it says, "You will know a tree by its fruit." It's sad that the only fruit this young woman is bearing is disobeying her parents and being deceptive. I know that her parents are involved in a denomination that is among the strictest, but the Bible (God) clearly states that children should be obedient to their parents (the 5th Commandment, found in many places in God's Word: www.openbible.info/topics/children_obeying_their_parents
I was raised in a strict household, and although it was not because of going to church or practicing religion (for I went to church by myself much of the time, if my siblings weren't able to go after they got jobs or moved out), but I did get really involved in Fellowship of Christian Athletes where I heard the Gospel for the first time and understood that God wanted to be my Father but I needed to confess my sin nature before Him and ask for forgiveness of my sins, which Jesus took on and paid the penalty for it on the cross & defeated it by resurrecting from the dead. They told me that I should read at least one chapter from the Bible per day, which I did, stating with the first book in the Bible (b/c no one told me where to started in the New Testament, but I'm glad because by reading the I'll Testament first, I understood God's holiness in a different way I would have if I started elsewhere. I didn't understand a lot of it, but it was important to me to read it so that I could learn more about God because I didn't have any other resources besides Christian radio (& the catecism of a conservative branch of the Luthuran Church). I was like a person dying of hunger or thirst, so I feasted on the Bread of Life and clung to the words of Psalm 42:1, where King David stated, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O Lord."
There were times that I was forbidden to go to church, or threatened with not being able to if I got in my guardian (adopted parent's) bad side or if she got in a bad mood. So my perspective is different that this person who is forced to go. I'm glad for my circumstances because I appreciate the privilege of going to church, even though it wasn't the kind of church I may have chosen. If I had the opportunity to mentor this young woman, I would tell her it is unwise to disobey parents (unless the parents are being abusive). I began a personal relationship with God when I was 13 (34 years ago!!! 😮), and my parent was adament about me not getting my ears peirced, wearing makeup, getting my hair cut, and even wearing a bra until I was old enough in her eyes-- which was much older than my friends, and I was teased a lot for being different, but some of those very same friends have confessed that they were just jealous of my "long beautiful hair" back then. And as far as make-up goes, I like really young now as a result of not using a bunch of chemicals all the time (some of which have been linked with cancer). If I were to be mentoring this young woman, I would listen to her, tell her I can relate to how she feels and to any teasing/ bullying she may have gone through, and then I'd suggest that she search her heart to see if there is any sense of rebellion or deception in her heart. While I feel sad for her, I also fear that she will continue to go down the road of bucking against her parents' (God's, simply b/c they are her parents') rules and that this will lead to either ignoring other authority figures' rules (if it hasn't already), particularly if she's doing it to get acceptance from her peers. I would say that I know it's hard right now, but after high school-- and especially after college, where there is a whole lot less peer pressure-- unless she is in a sorority, which I totally avoided for that reason, because God had convinced me that my standing with people is only temporary, but my standing with Him was eternal & because that has eternal consequences, I sought to "please God rather than [people]" (100 verses about this: www.openbible.info/topics/pleasing_god_rather_than_people), especially when I discovered Colossians 3:23: "Whatever you do, work at it heartily as for the Lord and not for [people]."
I was raised and still am Pentecostal and I know that we do not force people to dress like us if they are new she probably is just being a rebellious teenager
Everything you said was spot on!!!
@CrislynKeene A lot of Pentecostal so-called Churches DO basically force you to follow ALL the rules because they threaten you with HELL FIRE AND ETERNAL DAMNATION if you mess up and sin. And, don't pray through to the Holy Ghost!!! You're literally told this repeatedly, over and over again!!! Brainwashing and indoctrination!!! And, they use fear as a freaking motivating factor!!! Through emotional manipulation, brainwashing, and indoctrination!!! HELL is always, ALWAYS in the back of your mind because they MAKE you think about it constantly!!! I now have Complex PTSD because of THIS freaking abuse!!! But, sure, tell me more about just how WONDERFUL it supposedly is!!! NOT!!! Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people who have dared to leave the cult!!! Most of us, if not ALL of us, now have Complex PTSD, and Religious Trauma Syndrome!!! Jim Jones used to go to the United Pentecostal Church before he started his own cult and ended up KILLING his congregation by giving them the cyanide laced Kool-aid drink!!! Are you aware of that?!!? He was literally in their yearbooks!!! They probably took him out, but yeah, he was in their yearbooks.
@CrislynKeene And, they also told us over and over again that, if we EVER left the so-called Church, that God would HAUNT us till the day we die!!! And, then, the Judgment Day!!! Hell fire and brimstone!!! Ya know?!!? So, sure, we technically had a choice to obey or not obey the so-called pastor and ALL of his countless man made rules!!! But, when they make almost literally EVERYTHING a heaven and hell issue, and when almost literally EVERYTHING is said to be a sin, you FEAR ever disobeying ANYTHING the so-called pastor tells you to do!!! And, they know that!!! So, of course, THEY take advantage of the whole thing!!! And, here comes the freaking abuse!!! Nothing but abuse!!! They're narcissistic in nature!!! Most of them, anyways!!! Facts!!!
Only cults tell you how to dress. I went through this. It's traumatic for some of us.
You should have a right to choose who you are.
The Bible is very specific in how we are to present ourselves to God.

I was in a United Pentecostal Church for 10 years. I'm thankful for learning what is in the Bible while there. No longer in that church. God knows our hearts whether or not we're wearing a skirt or makeup or jewelry or cutting our hair. There's more, but I'll leave it at that..
Hopefully the pastor doesn’t randomly scroll up on this video😂
Growing up in the Apostolic Pentecostal environment as a third generation Apostolic. I can truly say it's a heart thing. We all look at it differently. True conviction comes from the holy spirit not a religious tradition. Modesty is important, but not looking like the "world" and still missing the mark is possible. I've been in churches where the short sleeved t shirt and jeans got me "side eyed". It's sad but were not all like this. I pray we all love and not be judgemental like the sanhedrin court. LOVE NEVER FAILS! As a future Senior Pastor were going to love on you regardless from the beginning. And give you time while letting the Word of God transform you. Many or us did this living double lives "looking the part but not being it". Yet God walked with us, I thanked God for his GRACE over me. For all those watching this I'm praying for you, grow in faith in GOD, he's definitely worth serving.
Amen!!!
Scene 1: attracting good for nothing irresponsible guys.
Scene 2: attracting good men that will fulfill your purpose in life.
I thank God for his grace and patience with us all. It's a process definitely a heart thing.
NKJV Revelation 3:8 Amen
Amplified Version Revelation 3:8 Amen
My daughter did this in elementary school. Her siblings came to me one day to tell on her. I simply said, “That’s between her and the Lord.” She looked me dead in the eye and said,”You’re my mother. You should be making me wear skirts and dresses.” I was a new Christian at the time. I had told my 3 kids (11&8 yr old) that after they grew out of certain things I would no longer be buying them. After she said that to me I went into their room and took all the items I no longer wanted them to wear. She never gave me another problem about it.
Everyone has to have their own experience. If you are comfortable with doing this then you have not had a real experience with God. And that’s ok. If you’re His you will in His time. ❤
You must wear only brown shoe strings if you don’t you’ll go straight to hell.
@@blueoval250 the funny thing is that folks who behave that way don’t really know the Lord. Their more about bending people to their will and rules instead of leading them to Jesus and letting Him do the work. I made a lot of mistakes as a young christian mom. Sometimes I feel grateful that my older children even want to have a relationship with me. Even so, I know they have a foundation and that He is always with them. I love them unconditionally and I believe they know that. I feel badly for those who have not had it like that, who have been bullied and oppressed and believe they will never be good enough or live up to their parents/churches standards. It’s never about how good you can be or what you wear. It’s only about Him. I wear what I wear not because I HAVE to but because I want to please Him. It’s not for everyone and that’s ok. I pray one day that you’ll feel the love of God and truly know Him. Then you’d understand.
You mean she didn't want anything to do with you after that dogma you enforced upon her. Yikes.
Not all Pentecostals have those rules
The real ones do
Actually no Pentecostals are like this.
@@chisangamumba2961 true... Completely opposite
You're right. Many pentecostal churches support the trans movement. They have pride and trans flag in front of their churches. Guess they support grooming too.
I knew Pentecostal Russian girls that took it up the butt by their boyfriends instead of v@ginally so that when they got married, their new husbands couldn’t say that they weren’t virgins on the first night of consummation.
You can blame your parents all you want but your walk with God is your choice. When judgement day comes everybody will account for themselves and they won't be able to be saved by blaming somebody else.
Well said
And, YOU'LL have to stand accountable for all the hateful, arrogant, and judgmental freaking thing YOU have done and said!!! So, yeah, please get off the pedestal you've put yourself up on!!! Come down from your high horse!!! You're NOT any better than anyone else!!! You just think you are!!! That's all!!!
And, for literally leading people AWAY from God Almighty!!! Ya sure don't make people want to go to your type of so-called Church by doing and saying the things you're doing and saying!!! People are sick and tired of all the freaking hate, the judgments, the arrogance, the self righteousness, the holier-than-thou attitudes, and the hypocrisy!!! They're also extremely tired of the GREEDY so-called preachers!!! Go preach to someone who freaking cares!!! You guys love to PROJECT onto OTHERS what YOU are doing secretly behind closed doors, yourselves!!! Giant hypocrites and liars!!! Pedophiles and groomers run rampant in the so-called Church!!! Instead of trying to actually DEAL with the problem, the repugnant and repulsive so-called Church DEFENDS the perpetrators and ships them to ANOTHER so-called Church so they can molest more and more kids. No real accountability!!! No real punishment!!! No jail or prison time for them!!! Somehow, they get away with the horrible, HORRIBLE abuse!!! But, it's usually the so-called preachers who are molesting little kids and grooming them!!! Or, it's the Sunday school teachers or bus drivers!!! Etc, etc, etc!!! But, what, exactly, has the cult done to AVOID this from happening again and again?!!? Over and over?!!? Hardly anything!!! Not sure they have done anything!!! They're NOT taking it seriously because THEY are the usual suspects and the usual perpetrators!!! Try cleaning up your own front yard before trying to clean up everybody else's!!! You guys are nothing but liars and hypocrites like I said before!!! And, not saying that YOU, personally, are a freaking repugnant and repulsive groomer or a pedophile!!! But, yeah, the so-called Church is FULL of them types of disgusting and deplorable people!!! Yet, THEY want to accuse EVERYBODY ELSE of being a groomer and pedophile!!! Especially the gays and lesbians!!! The TRANS people and the drag queens!!! They're NOT the ones who keep getting BUSTED, one after another, for pedophilia and for grooming!!! Or for sex trafficking!!! It's usually the so-called preachers and the so-called Christians who project onto OTHERS what THEY are doing!!! And, I love how you just ignore the posts that you don't want to respond back to due to the fact that you don't really know HOW to respond back in an intelligent way. You have NO problems responding back to those who you feel like you can win the argument. And I can tell you love to argue!!! So, what's your problem?!!? Cat got your tongue all of a sudden?!!? I think it's just that you don't want to look STUPID, and you know that you really have NO idea what you're talking about most of the time.
So she will get sent to hell because she wore blue jeans, earrings, and makeup?
@Libertas.Aeterna1776 nope. It'll be because she knowingly chose to disobey her parents and her pastor in being taught the standards of Holiness. The Bible (and actually more specifically God Himself) said that if you are a child of God that you are to "come out from the world and be ye separate" basically meaning that once you are saved, the Spirit of God will put convictions in your heart to not talk like the world, to not act like the world, and YES, to not dress like the world. If you see a firefighter, or a police officer, or a soldier, or a fry cook, or a heart surgeon, etc. Etc, you know exactly who you're looking at because of the way that they're dressed. How strange is it then when people become confused of why they think that being saved just means you can continue talking, acting, and dressing the same way you were before you became "a new creature in Christ" as the New Testament puts it. Not saying that you have to change everything about yourself the day that you become saved (nor do I think that God would expect that from you) But It shouldn't take too long If you truly were saved to figure those type of things out Because your pastor and church elders around you would have discipled you And taught you Right from wrong and about what pleases and displeases God. God is a merciful lamb but he is also A lion And a lot of people forget that. God is all loving, but you cannot be all loving without being just. God is never going to force anybody into heaven if they don't want to go, in other words, God is not going to force anybody to have a relationship with Him if they choose they don't want to actually have one. Salvation Is not about shaking a preacher's hand Or repeating A couple of Bible verses and then only going to church on Easter and Christmas But it's about having a daily walk with God, and if you have a daily walk with God then you're probably not going to be making youtube videos flaunting what you know would be displeasing to Him. Thats Rebellion and rebellion stems from pride which is definitely not something a true follower of Christ would have in their heart.
This is called dressing humbly...
When you wear a buncha jewlry, pants and make up, your show off whatever you have causing envy in others. Also some of the stuff mentioned like pants, can provoke lust in men when they see dem curves and jiggles if you know what am sayin' 😅
So you help people by dressing humbly because they wont have anything to envy or lust over, causing them to focus more on what God gives them
😂😂😂😂 this was literally me growing up Amish. Pulling on my dress over my jeans and putting on my head covering so my mom wouldn’t suspect i was wearing forbidden clothes😅
Sounds Good but the Quran is false!
Jesus was more than a prophet, He was God the Son in the flesh and He is the only way to the Father!
Id love to see a young man do a video like this. It’s always about women and girls bodies .
I had a friend in high school. I'll never forget her I always brought her outfits jeans & tees to change into Melinda wherever you are. I hope your life is as beautiful as you wanted it!!!!
Yes, it is true that God‘s word tells us that a woman should not wear anything that pertain to a man, and it also explains to us why we should not choose to wear jewelry, because of what it meant and symbolized in the word of God. However, those things will come out of conviction, personal conviction from the Holy Ghost when you have the right relationship with God, and you have been filled with his spirit, we are only led by the spirit of God, not by what man dictates to us, but what God says in his word. I am thankful to have a pastor in my life who doesn’t judge or threaten individuals by their choices. However, he preaches the truth, and allows the Holy Ghost to convict them of those things, we are all going to stand before God one on one on judgment day no one is going to be there to hold Our hand. It will be us in Jesus, so just know if you seek a true relationship with the Lord, he will convict you of certain things, but he is a gentleman and he has given us a free will so we have to make those choices for ourselves, because we love him, we want to be pleasing to him. Be blessed.
its a struggle for everyone (especially for the young people).
Cause there influenced by the wrong things
@@turnmeondeadman4221 wanting to be a normal kid isnt wrong

Yup it's a process definitely a heart thing. Patience and love with grace is necessary for all especially our young people rn.
I grew up Pentecostal and I still am . But I could wear all these things at my church no problem.
Then you're at a false church that doesn't stand on the word of God. You should be convicted dressing like a harlot
Abraham gave jewelry for Isaacs wife as a gift. It doesn’t say not to wear it just for it not to be exaggerating.
Then you are not save
Search for the truth and the truth will make you free

I thank God for his grace and patience with us all. It's a process definitely a heart thing.
you think God's power is limited by clothing?
And when you do it for people, it will never work. But when you do it for God because you love him and hes word, it will ALL work out perfectly well................
Yup it's a process definitely a heart thing.
Truth be told you don’t even have to attend church to have a true relationship with most high we are the body of god

As a PK, I understand this. Many pks fall out quickly because ever since we were born, we automatically had to carry standards. Growing up, we never had the chance or choice to choose between what was right and wrong ourselves. Whenever we did something that was not seen as right, at least to have the feel or experience, we were judged and put on the spotlight there and then by everyone in church. I, however, grew up a strong-willed person, so to this day, I still don't know how it feels like to say, "I have to change," but I do have and see fellow pks in this situation, I don't judge them though because I understand. The truth is only PKs will be able to understand other PKs.
Oh great, another minority group claiming exclusive victimhood status in order to detract from personal responsibility, the preachers kids.
All so very true!!!!
What kind of comment is that? A True Loving parent who CARES would NEVER let u go "try drugs for yourself to see if it's right or wrong and choose whatever u want to do. Good parents NEVER want their child led astray before they can show them the way. They will rebuke and correct u so u can have a strong good foundation, so that even after u grow and find yourself in certain situations, i will remember your morals/values and know how to better handle yourself.
I have given a lot of upvotes to these comments. And a few downvotes. But, I feel I DO have to respond to THIS comment. It is simply, we do NOT get to choose what is right or what is wrong. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. Always has been and always will be.
We have parents and leaders to guide us and show us the way. Yes, some do it in a hard way. They don’t show the love of God as they perhaps should. That doesn’t make what they are teaching of none affect.
We have all had teachers in school who taught correctly but were jerks. That didn’t make what they were teaching wrong.
And, yes, God is love! And God loves us so very much. He is a VERY merciful and VERY forgiving God.
BUT, He also DOES require something of us. He does have rules we must follow. He sees not as man sees but sees our hearts. Yes! Truth! But, what does man see in THIS young lady? A “Pentecostal” girl? Her HEART shows another matter entirely. So very sad.
@@sandracapps5543 Yes. you are right I won't deny that all I was trying to say is that PKs don't get to grow up learning and making mistakes, they are just born and automatically put in the spotlight where they are judged for every decision they make while other children grow up and are never judged. Ultimately, they are human too, bound to make mistakes so they don't deserve to be judged or talked about. My personal view though, everyone has their own 🤷♀
I was taught from a young age, “if it’s not on your insides, then it sure won’t show on your outsides” (appearances).
The same is also true- If the outside looks like the world then the inside is not clean. If you don’t like that then maybe you need the Holy Ghost because it’s the truth anyhow!
I’m too saved to do anything like that😂😂
AMÉN
what does the bible say about pride🤔 and nobody cares
@@a.h.i267
I totally agree with you.😊
It's a process definitely a heart thing. I thank God for his grace and patience with us all.
I, like you, grew up in a Pc pastor's home. I am so thankful for that, because it gave me a rock-solid foundation for life. Both my parents have gone on to a better place- PLEASE, cherish them while you can. Don't live with a lot of regret.
This mostly happens when a person is still bound by the devil and has not yet had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ.
It happens because the doctrine takes the Christian liberty and causes people to live a lie trying to be perfect and no one is
This is what happens when you torture people with the Bible
Its good to know God personally and know that he sees everything when parents dont see it
Yup it's a process definitely a heart thing.
Good for you!
Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart.
It’s incredible. I can’t get over this quality writing. It’s a simple trick to have make things double meanings but have there ever been a better implementation of it .
How are you doing! Hope it’s been a beautiful day today?

You don’t have to be a pentecostal to lie or be a rebel, people are people and we are all sinners in Need of our Savior Jesus Christ! Don’t forget about the things we all did when we were young , If we are honest we all got a little bit of dirt! Come on now!
