Pentecostal. I am a Pentecostal Christian. WFA is a Pentecostal church. We firmly believe that the Bible clearly tells us that the promise of the Father to each and every believer is the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. This promise is for ALL who believe �?to as many as the Lord our God shall call!

The modern Pentecostal church is just about a century old. Since the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Topeka, Kansas and on Azusa Street in Los Angeles, California, the Pentecostal church has grown from a small group of believers to the fastest growing group of Christian churches in the world.

Unfortunately, there have been all too many examples of individuals claiming to be Pentecostal, who have been anything but Spirit-filled. Hypocrites who say one thing and do another. Money-hungry televangelists who are living in sin. People who point fingers at others who don’t live up to their own man-made rules, rather than pointing people to Jesus. In short, there have been too many people who, while claiming to be Pentecostal, have no principle at all.

The Pathway of Pentecost MUST be a Pathway of Principle! God has given His people the gift of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit so that we can win others to Christ. But, a people living without principle cannot influence others for Christ.

In Acts 11:19-30, we see demonstrated by Barnabas and the other leaders of the early church just exactly what biblical principle is. Be sure to join us this Sunday here at WFA as we conclude our series of messages on “The Pathway of Pentecost�?with this most crucial message �?“The Pathway of Principle.�?/FONT>
