Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
I have noted in my study of Scripture that most names have "meaning" and are often Hebrew words or statements (usually about God). The original Hebrew name of Jesus – Yeh’shua – follows this pattern with its meaning roughly equat…

I am curious to know which book came first: Book of John or Book of Revelation.
Are there any evidence to prove this chronology?
The Nicene Creed begins with Πιστεύομεν ("we believe"), however, many English translations have instead "I believe" which follows the ancient Latin text which begins Credo ("I believe"). So, one wonders why th…
