Within Christianity there are many religious that claim to be the true church. This has caused diverse reactions among people. Some claim that there is no true church, as they see them as simply businesses looking for people’s money. But, is there really a true church or not? And if there is, how can we identify and find it? To answer these questions, this article looks at what the Bible teaches about the true church.
For many, the phenomenon of speaking in strange tongues is a sign of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This research briefly addresses the nature and purpose of the gift in the New Testament.

Finally, the relationship between the gift of tongues and the mission of the church is presented.
Seventh-day Adventism has never seen itself as just another church—just another denomination, albeit with a few peculiar beliefs. To the contrary, Adventism from its very beginning has fervently believed that it was a people of prophecy and that it had a special part to play in the closing events of world history. The question that must be asked is how this prophetic understanding affected Adventist mission. Did it promote or discourage it? broaden the scope of mission or narrow it?
In today’s Christian world, theology tends to be despised; and to my amazement, this aversion seems to be spreading even within the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Theological education in some circles is unwelcome and unessential. Furthermore, the belief in the imminent return of Jesus Christ has led some to reject not only general higher education but theology schools as well. In this article, from the eschatological context in which we live, the author points out that a true, broad, and balanced pastoral education is a sine qua non to acquiring right biblical-theological training. Adventist theology prepares people to search for the truth, know the truth, love the truth, follow the truth, live the truth, proclaim the truth, and be ready for the Second Coming of Christ.
Today, there are Christians who have preferred to celebrate Halloween every October 31st. But is the believer really called to participate in this celebration? Can one, as an Adventist, adapt this festival for Christian purposes? What does the Bible say about this? In order to answer these questions, this study presents the historical development of Halloween and its relationship to Christianity. It then looks at what the Bible says about the immortality of the soul and, finally, points out why Christians should not celebrate this festival.
Personal evangelization is a great way to share the gospel of Christ Jesus. This can be defined as the communication of the gospel of the kingdom, from person to person, thanks to the direction of the Holy Spirit, this proclamation must be made by every Christian, so that the recipients have the opportunity to accept Jesus as their Lord and Personal Savior and thus become a responsible member of his church after the respective baptism (Acts 8:35-39; 16:25, 26, 32). The objective of the study is to determine the relationship between personal, ecclesiastical, pastoral and community factors with personal evangelization in parishioners of the APCE, Lima, 2013. The study was quantitative and descriptively correlated approach with non-experimental cross-sectional design. In general terms, it is concluded that there is a significant relationship between personal and pastoral factors and personal evangelization; whereas the ecclesiastical and community factors are unrelated.
