Question Important in finding a church home

When looking for a church to attend which of these options do you feel is vital?
you can select more then one.

Just wondering if people feel it matters if the church they attend teaches the Oneness of God, Baptism in Jesus name, or whatever else you may feel is important

Acts 2:38, oneness of God, inward holiness and outward holiness

Could you show me in the Bible the doctrine of "outward holiness". I just thought I would beat the rest of you to it! LOL

Here is a thought - The doctrine of Outward Holiness is a fallacy. There is no such thing. If a Muslim woman came in wearing a Burqa - would she be more holy than those that showed more skin?

Re: Important in finding a church home

Here is my "ideal" in a Church.

1. Oneness Of God
2. Acts 2:38 New Birth
3. Gifts in operation/Laying on of hands/Head covering
4. Post trib rapture.
5. Resurrection at the last day. No immortal soul.
6. Eternal Judgment. Annihilation of the wicked.
7. 1000 year reign.
8. Perfection and Holiness taught and crowned with love.

If anyone knows where this Church is let me know. For now I listen to the streaming audio of Carlisle Christian Fellowship Carlisle Pa. on Sunday mornings. This Church teaches the same foundation doctrine as the apostles imo. I differ with them on the meaning of the headcovering they take the UPC position.

On Friday and Saturday nights I watch IHOP a Trinitarian Charismatic Church that teaches post trib and sermon on the mount style holiness and has very nice worship. I also watch the Prayer Room at least once a day as it is streamed also. This Church is being influenced by David Pawson an old Minister who believe Acts 2:38 is the true plan of salvation. The Pastor hasnt got it yet but I believe several IHOP teachers see it. They have transitioned into baptism in Jesus name apparently but without the Oneness revelation.

There is no local Church here in Somerset Ky we are aware of that offers anything close to what I need in a Church.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Important in finding a church home

After what it took to get the family to church this morning, I don't care what kind or how much false doctrine they preach, just as long as they have an afternoon get together instead of a 10:00am, count me in!

A pastor and church members who show the fruit of the spirit is most important to me.
