Glad to be part of the family of God in the Apostolic Faith Church.

You are the Joe Friday of the church world, deep investigation followed by a "Just The Facts" dissection of what you've found, no commentary or filler. Kudos! 🙂

I'm not apostolic but I am Pentecostal. I found this to be a very nice video and very interesting. Well done. I love this channel.

I'm not a Pentecostal but I had the pleasure of attending an AFC service at their 'mother church' in Portland. It was a beautiful service and the music was amazing.

first Pentecostals I’ve seen who believe in “speaking in tongues“ as actually described in Acts rather than nonsense words

Their headquarters are in my neighborhood and they put up great Christmas lights!

Thank you, young man, for doing "our" research!

I have personally heard a teenage girl who said she knew no Spanish at all pray in fluent Spanish. At the same meeting I heard a person praying in fluent German, which I recognized although my German was nowhere near as fluent to translate. Same meeting an older lady standing next to me was praying in a beautiful, fluent tongue that I didn’t recognize. When she finished praying, her husband who was a seminary professor said, “That was a beautiful prayer, dear- would you like to know what you said?” She said, “ How do you know what I said? “ He answered, “Because you were praying in fluent Ancient Greek, and that’s what I teach!” She did not know Greek, much less Ancient Greek, but the translation he gave was indeed beautiful. A great book to read is “They Speak With Other Tongues” by John and Elizabeth Sherrill, who started out with scepticism as they researched the tongues phenomenon in the 1960’s.

I grew up in this church! My brother is still a minister for rhat church.

The more I listen to this, the more biblically solid their doctrine sounds. Even so, there are some things I was listening for but have not heard. But kudos for what I did hear!

This has got to be the most reasonable pentecostal denomination.

[tyrehodges]

I’m Jesus name apostolic Pentecostal/ Pentecostal apostolic. Born again

[Brecomug]

May God have mercy with Christians who tend to be modern Christians today forgetting the Fonda mental doctrines of the Bible

Can I put in a request for the Pilgrim Holiness Church? I’ve seen a few in my hometown of Cincinnati. Was curious if you knew anything about them. God bless!

Good for them, on divorce-and-remarriage and on sanctity-of-life. Nothing watered-down there, so far as I can see.

When using the term "Apostolic Faith Church" this can also be used to describe some churches in the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World (PAW), Church of our Lord Jesus Christ (COOLJC), etc. The differences are significant, such as baptism is Jesus name (Acts 2:38), and rejection of the Trinity, this should help explain some of the comments 😅

[darinlegore]

Apostle Paul said he "spoke with the tongues of men AND OF ANGELS...". What are the tongues of angels?

[Republican_Banana]

Acts 2 is the ONLY one example out of several others where the speaking in tongues were languages understood by the observers. In Acts 8, 10, and 19 the speaking in tongues is not said to have been understood by the observers.

WHAT!?!?
Churches observe Christmas, Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter!?!??
Is that it?
What happened to Pentecost? ?!?!
They’ve forgotten the roots of their own movement!
