Re: Proms and Pentecostals
Thank you for all the responses.
I was just curious - I know it used to be taboo. We homeschool, but many of the larger homeschool groups are now sponsoring a "prom". I would think these would be much more condusive for Christian youth because most who homeschool are conscientious Christians.

If your children are truly "conscientious Christians", they will continue to be so at the prom.

I don't doubt that. But then that was never really in question.

Rhoni, I'm sure that this is a correct statement; however, I think that putting temptations in front of our kids is asking for trouble IMO.

Life itself is a temptation. Children need to begin living for God for themselves in their teen years. All the rules and regulations will not keep a teen in line if Christ isn't in their heart.
I raised my children in church, in a moderate home. They are both still living for God and going to the prom was just a 'normal' milestone in their lives.
Many churches put so many rules on people that it keeps them in the infancy stage of Christianity. Let God and what they are taught by hearing the WORD of GOD [as opposed to manmade rules] give them the Holy Ghost muscle to live for God in whatever situation life throws at them.
Trust Jesus and your young person's relationship to HIM.
Blessings, Rhoni

Exactly! Which is why we don't need to add anymore to their lives.

Re: Proms and Pentecostals
My children were both given the choice. Neither of them went. My daughter seems to regret that though. My son still could (he is in high school) but I doubt that he will.

Re: Proms and Pentecostals
It's not prom that's the problem - it's what goes on AFTER the prom that is the problem and that can happen after church too.
