Maybe when those churches started they were the only ones at that time. Just like the ones that are named First church.

I saw a sign I liked once "The Church in so and so".
I imagine it caused a fuss I have no idea what they was.

The first church I remember using this was "the Pentecostals of Alexandria"...pastored by Anthony Mangun.
It seemed that it became popular in the Apostolic movement after that...
The church in Alexandria was well established when they started calling themselves by this name...interesting enough is that the "real" name of the curch is First UPC....so "The Pentecostals..." is like thier nickname.

I have seen so many lies posted. The best one is the one Triumphant 1 did his best to combat. You know, the hair cutting party thing?
Prominent members of this board chose to believe the lie and even continue to spread it, even though T1 had totally proved it was false.

I really don't mean this to appear mean spirited toward those who already call their churches by this title.
I just wonder how other Pentecostal churches in those cities feel?
I can understand "The Pentecostals of Main Street (or some neighborhood)" but to make the statement that you are indeed "THE PENTECOSTALS OF NEW YORK CITY!" I don't understand it.

*sigh*
If you are threatened or intimidated by a group of Christians claiming to be the Pentecostals of any city, then you need to get a life.
I think the other churches in that particular city should also call themselves the Pentecostals of ________, thereby including themselves with the same group of believers. Oh, but that wouldn't work would it? Since in most cases they want to set themselves apart from other churches. Disunity is the end result and the desired one.

I don't think it sounds dorky. I like it much better than names identifying with any organization. Better yet, why not call yourselves: The Christians of ____________.
