Pacifist
 

Can anyone tell me exactly what a pacifist is? Did I even spell it right ? I know Amish are considered pacifist. Is that what us apostolics are considered?

Ha. 99.99999% of Apostolics are NOT Pacifists.


pacifism [ pas-uh-fiz-uh���m ] noun
1. opposition to war or violence of any kind.

2. refusal to engage in military activity because of one's principles or beliefs.

3. the principle or policy that all differences among nations should be adjusted without recourse to war.

This to me ignores that satan runs your country (every country),
and foments war just so that people will suffer and die.
Plus, frankly, the country was in much better shape before "we" showed up.

Seems to me God commanded wars too, when He was in charge of a country.

Well, He's not in charge anymore ..

Different levels of Pacifism exist. Basic definition is one who refuses to kill another human being.

About Pentecostals being pacifist - most are not, though I know a number that I believe are. The AOF "conscientious objector" statement in regards to bearing arms allows for this in the UPCI, if the individual is so compelled. I have read some history on this, and believe the number was significant at one time and some were imprisoned in the USA for this. My Father, an Old Order Mennonite, served as a Conscientious Objector in a non military Government hospital during the time of the Korean War.
