What's the Best Study Bible for Pentecostals?

[Ariel Gavriel]

Even though I'm a Lutheran, my father was raised AG, and his parents were devout Pentecostals. Interested in the tradition (though with no intention to join), I was wondering if anyone here could recommend a good Pentecostal study Bible (preferably KJV).

I've heard both good and bad about the Dake Annotated Reference Bible, and I've also heard that the "Life in the Spirit" study Bible is a bit too moderate in terms of a strong charismatic study Bible.

Any recommendations?

NIV 84

Hello, I know this is an old thread, but I’m wondering if there are more Pentecostal study bibles that are newer than when this thread was created? I’m looking for something easy to understand and I get confused with the kjv. Thank you in advance.

I still find the 'Spirit Filled Life Bible' so very helpful.

I know this is way late, but for anyone interested, the "Fire Bible" is a great reference study Bible for Pentecostals/Charismatics/AG etc. It can be purchased in several translations including KJV, ESV, MEV and more. Just google "Fire Bible" and you will find it.

Curious, great just because or is there something with that reference that makes it stand out above most?

I have the Fire Bible (NIV) and the notes are good. I also have Dake's Bible and I think it is the best study Bible out there.

Fire Bible for commentary
Dake's Bible for lists of Scriptures and endless notes. The volume of notes in the Dake Bible is larger then the Bible itself.

If you are the type of reader that needs to agree with all the writer says, then the Dake Bible is not for you.

I own over 20 study Bibles including Dakes, Open Bible, Jake Hayford and the A/G Bible produce for by them. Along with many that were not pentecostal. As far as the accuracy of the Bibles mentioned here, only one has been the most precise. That is the Jimmy Swaggart Expositor's Study Bible, it is the most sold Bible in the world at this time. It bring to light many truths that are not even discussed in all these others. If you want the Truth this is where you will find it in the most understandable terms.

While the Dake's is packed with an enormous amount of information, it does come at a cost as the type is maxed to the smallest point size they thought they could get away with. I will be looking into these other suggestions. Thanks to 'astonishedman' for resurrecting this valuable thread! WOW, just noticed you selected AOG as your first post. Welcome to Christian Forums!

I do hope someone owning this Bible could refute the following accusations.
