So could I get an idea of what's here at AFF and just see what people believe by asking these questions?
1: Do you believe that water baptism must be done in the name of Jesus and that any other baptism is not a valid baptism?
2: Do you believe that the infilling of the Holy Ghost is evidenced only by speaking with other tongues?
3: Do you believe these things are absolutely necessary in order to be saved and ready for heaven?
4: Do you hold as a core value the basics of traditional pentecostal holiness which is: Men: full length pants, shirts with sleeves, short hair, Women: uncut hair, no makeup, no pants, shirts with sleeves?
5: Do you believe a trinitarian will go to heaven?

1. the name of "Jesus"?
which Jesus?
There are several people in the New Testament with this name.
Ref
Acts 7:45;
Hebrews 4:8 Joshua, the successor to Moses is called Jesus
Then there is the magician named Bar-Jesus or son of Jesus/Joshua/Yeshua/Yehoshua in
Acts 13:8
And a believer named Jesus Justis in
Colossians 4:11.
And there are many Hispanic men named Jesus.
In the Old Testament Joshua is mentioned many times
Jesus/Yeshua/Joshua/Yehoshua was a very common name in the first century. I have read that one out of every males was named Yeshua. The most common male names at that time were:
1.Simon or Shi'mon
2. Joseph or Yosef
3. Judah or Yehudah
4. John or Yochanan
5. Eleazar and Yeshua were tied for fifth place.
Okay, enough! LOL!
