INFORMATION ABOUT THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH OF ETHIOPIA AND ITS WARA BETHEL CONFERENCES
Source #1
From https://acieth.org/about/establishment/
..."Apostolic Church of Ethiopia (ACE) is member of Jesus’
church, established by him on the day of Pentecost, and is currently operating
throughout the whole world beginning from Ethiopia. Its faith and doctrine is
also not of a recent origin to Ethiopia. As it is written in the book of Acts
chapter 8, an Ethiopian eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the
Ethiopians, heard the message of the gospel preached by the Apostles from the
evangelist Phillip and was baptized in Jesus name as was practiced on the day
of Pentecost.
This gospel of salvation preached by the twelve apostles was fallen on the ground in the land of Ethiopia for the last many centuries, until it was revealed with the mercy of the Lord and taken up again, beginning from about the second half of the 20th century.
Apostolic Church of Ethiopia (ACE) was legally registered by the government of Ethiopia and started operation beginning from the year 1968 G.C. Its HQ is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and has got thousands of local churches, distributed all over the country and thousands of ministers serving in those churches. Its ministry is not only limited within Ethiopia; rather, it involves in evangelizing the whole world to the extent that the Lord Jesus opens the door and also in the edification of saints.
ACE’s Constituency is in millions and growing by 40 – 50 thousand every year. While most of the members are in Ethiopia, the number of saints is growing in Africa, North America, Asia and other parts of the world as well. Its international ministry is also spreading in almost all continents, viz. Africa, North America, Canada, Europe, Asia, Middle East and Australia.
The ACE’s fundamental doctrine is rooted and anchored firmly
with the first New Testament Church that was born on the day of Pentecost. It
preaches and practices the same message of repentance, baptism in Jesus name
for the remission of sins and the infilling of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:37-38)."...

Click https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentecostalism_in_Ethiopia for general information about Pentecostalism in Ethiopia. That Wikipedia page mentions that the Apostolic Church of Ethiopia (ACE) is one of the three largest Pentecostal denominations in Ethiopia.
Also, click https://classroom.synonym.com/the-difference-between-pentecostal-apostolic-12084936.h
for information about the differences between being Pentecostal and Apostolic. Here's the first paragraph from that page:
"Pentecostalism is a Christian movement that began in the early part of the 20th century. The core doctrine that distinguishes
Pentecostals is their belief in the restoration of baptism in the Holy Spirit
with the initial physical evidence of speaking in tongues. The Apostolic
movement is an offshoot of the Pentecostal movement that began in 1913 when
doctrinal disputes, which initially arose at a camp meeting revival service,
split the fledgling movement"….

When I initially published this post, I referred to the Africans dancing during church services as "dancing in the Spirit", but it occurs to me that that phrase probably has a different meaning among African American who are members of Pentecostal churches than it means for members of Pentecostal churches in Africa. In these videos of Africans in church, dancing is a conscious accompaniment of and/or celebration of the music, singing, and/or the minister's or some other person's religious statements.
ReplyDeleteAmong African Americans "dancing in the Spirit" is supposed to be movements that occur because the person is feeling the Holy Spirit and those movements are supposed to be outside of the person's control. Since the mid to late 20th century, it is acceptable for people to do interpretive dances (mostly Jazz, Modern, Ballet, and Mime) to certain records. Other than those dances, the only form of dancing that is acceptable in United States churches are those "Holy dances". My position is that our culture largely influences the ways that African Americans do these holy dances, and the way those Holy dances are done has changed over time.
