God never named the church ...

Pentecostalism: Worshipping God with your mind in neutral! Pentecostalism: The religion where you worship God with your mind in neutral! What this means: Pentecostals confuse the inward deception of their own feelings with the supernatural activity of God. There is a strong tendency in all forms of Pentecostalism to clear the mind of all thoughts and await the actions of the Holy Spirit in their life. Sometimes this is done in private by speaking in gibberish for long periods of time (they call it tongues). Sometimes it is done within the design of the worship service where emotionally seductive music is combined with gibberish.

They include his church, worship, repentance, baptism, the Holy Spirit, the Lord's Supper, right living, and his second coming as well as others.
