If you tell me that for a good amount of time, probably years, you have read the Bible entirely few times, and you studied the correct principles of Biblical interpretations, and you learned to do it correctly. Then, I would say you got something.

Then, you would have come to the conclusion that of all the denominational churches out there, the Apostolic Pentecostal is the closest thing you are going to find.


If you think preparation and study, and probably for years, in addition to having the right attitude of seeking God, is not necessary, look at this warnings from the Scriptures:

[2Pe 3:15-16 NKJV] 15 ... as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable [people] twist to their own destruction, as [they do] also the rest of the Scriptures.

[1Ti 1:6-7 NKJV] 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.

Also, the apostles were trained by Jesus for three years before being sent. They were regular people, fishermen, tax collectors, etc... but Jesus didn't leave them uneducated regarding the Scriptures, e.g. look at Peter's sermons, look at Matthew's Gospel (yeah, the tax collector).

Esphes45, I encourage you slow down. Yes, you are right that there are some things that are questionable. But take your time, give room to the possibility that you are wrong in many other of your conclusions. You are just starting the journey of searching the Scriptures daily [to find out] whether these things were so (Act 17:11-12).
I have heard several Apostolic preachers whose preaching proved to me they knew nothing about hermeneutics.
