When I first went to minister in South, Georgia and saw "Holiness baptist" churches I thought that was humorous and quite the oxymoron, having been exposed primarily to SBC lay folk and diluted OSAS teaching.

Turned out they were legit. Who knew? Embarassed

translated "Lost" Church of God.

Then there are churches named Beulah, which means "married" (Where's Squire Parsons when you need him?)

Then there is Beth Haven, which means "house of idols/demons"

Church of Condemnation

Acts-celerater Posts: 651 **12/10/12 12:10 am**

Church of the Condemnation and Imposition of the Cross

Or "Church of the Condemnation" for short.

http://www.biblewalks.com/Sites/Condemnation.html

Does anybody want to go to the Church of the Condemnation? Wink

Perhaps some of you are saying it seems like you've been there before.

Well, this one's in Jerusalem.

I know, it's just a part of the Via Delorosa. But I wouldn't think the short name is a publicity strength.

John Boy and Billy morning radio show have the good Reverand Billy Ray Collins on frequently from:

the Sword Of Joshua Independent Full Gospel Pentecostal Assembly, which is located just off State Road 23 on the Frontage Road

Always makes me laugh at this poke at church names

There was a Hooker COG in Hooker, GA for many years. It was near Chattanooga, TN. I believe they have now changed the name.

What about churches whose physical building's appearance is in stark contrast to their church's name?

I once saw a church named "Breath of Life." Their building looked so tacky it made me think it ought to be called "The Last Gasp."

Broadway Baptist. Broad is the way. Very Happy

flippin awesome

I've never ...

I've never liked the name "Church of God of Prophecy" and found it to be a problem. The best thing the leaders of that church could do is move out of Cleveland, TN and change the name. This is especially true since the denomination is trying to do a "paradigm shift" away from who they were. The name itsself, besides being uninviting, is a misnomer. From my experience there is very little of the "prophetic" in either a strategic direction for the denomination or an operational manifestation in the local congergations. However, I see this trend in many denominations and independents. The the goal seems to be, in many cases, to become the "Generic Church of Fellowship and Friendliness."

PS I know its a "fun" thread on names, but really how can you look at the the name "Church of God of Prophecy" without either a question or a smile.
