In the Pentecostal Christian tradition, there's a practice that has gained some ground over the past few years called identificational repentance. Taken from the examples of men like Daniel and Nehemiah in the Hebrew Scriptures (also known as the Old Testament), identificational repentance is when a group apologizes for the sins of its ancestors or when an individual apologizes for the sins of his or her family, church, or nation. |

You know, when you first become saved you can't wait to share your faith. You're bubbling over with excitement, brimming with the amazing discovery you've found. When you're filled with that fire it's easy to bring people to God, but as time goes by and your faith begins to fade a lot of that excitement disappears. In time you come to rely heavily on Christian e-books and books and Holy Land gifts to bring your family to Christ in the hope that they'll figure it out on their own.
You just don't have the enthusiasm you need to bring them to Christ, and as a result you're all going to be left spinning your wheels. |

Too many Christians think that they need dress the gospel up in the latest fads of music, drama, literature, etc., in order for the gospel to be relevant to contemporary people.

We have been trained by the world, by the values of secular humanism through our public education, through the secular values and practices of the media and the workplace.

And Christians are not immune from the pervasiveness of secular humanism in contemporary society. |

Those who were filthy with sin had been washed in the blood of Christ, and set apart from sin to serve God's purposes. The common understanding down the ages has been that saints practice a superior morality, that being a Christian or being called by God resulted in moral growth or refinement. That common understanding is not wrong, but more often than not it is misunderstood and misrepresented. |

If the difference that Christ makes is insignificant or trivial, then we might say that our experience or perspective is not much different from that of unbelievers.

True reformation and revival of the Christian church will also reform and revive church courts as the desire to avoid civil courts grows among Christians.

The real danger to Christianity is not sinners, but hypocrites, people who identify themselves as Christian but who disregard the practice or essence of Christianity, which is submission to Jesus Christ and the avoidance of sin as it is described in the Bible. Again, we must note that no one is ever completely free from sin in this life. The difference between a Christian and a hypocrite is that a Christian repents of his sin -- daily, whereas the hypocrite does not repent. He wallows or stagnat |

Christianity is often castigated as being a force that holds women back, but actually the opposite is the case.
