Growing up Pentecostal... #short

[indiawhite]

This happens when there is a stronger emphasis on standards than relationship with God

[aidenthepentecostal]

This is what happens when you never develop personal convictions...

I grew up in a Pentecostal home and never had to do any of this. I’m still a Pentecostal and never have to do this. I don’t know which Pentecostal church she is attending. The focus is on your relationship with God not your dressing.

This was our church growing up. They were soo worried about this kind of stuff that they totally missed the bigger message and picture.

You can deceive the people but not God.

Modesty and chastity begins in the heart

Makeup and Jewelry = Bad
Gossip and Slander = Normative

“I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭

I actually think modesty is beautiful. Sad she's mocking it

[knightwolf]

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.

The title should be "growing up in Pentecostal family not knowing God."

[vivianlujan]

I used to do that when I was a teenager. Even though I loved God. My parents are first generation apostolic's. so they didn't really teach us how to pray or how to build a relationship with God so I ended up back sliding and I had a daughter at 17 and that relationship ended badly my daughter still to this day never sees her father, she is 20 and me and my daughter have a not so good relationship but now that I am older, and I know that only God can fix are problems that we have with ourselves and with our lives and with her children, I wish I would have took the time to read my Bible and really get to know Jesus the way I do now! I've had cancer I am overcoming homelessness not to mention alcoholism and drug addiction. I have been clean for over a year and it's only by Gods grace that I am still here. I have a purpose I am loved thank you Jesus!

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.

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.

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.

I grew up in a Pentecostal Church and it was JUST like this. No pants. No jewelry. Long skirts. No makeup. And on and on……thank God for my PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP I now have with HIM as a Kingdom Child and servant to the world 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[Lissy]

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. 😢

[bluesfan]

I did this as a kid. I regret every moment of it.

[garyandrews]

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.

[skepticaldopefeind]

being a Pentecostal ruined my life being forced to go to church and be tortured with your Bible and told Im gonna burn in hell forever and what if I die in my sleep what if I die getting hit by a drunk driver five times a week starting at freaking two years old really screwed me up
