help re 'pentecostal beliefs'

[nickismith72]

Hi all

Im wondering if anyone is knowledgable on Pentecostal beliefs?

I was scrubbed for operation that patients family, particularly husband, requested that removed body organs (cancerous) be given to them???

This totally blew my mind, no body I work with knew why they wanted them.

I can only assume their belief system requires all body parts be buried with them???

Im on a mission of understanding , appreciate any help or info on the topic

Thankyou

I have known both Assembly of G*d folks and independent pentecostal church folks in my expirience and as well from patient care this not part of thier beliefs systems.

I realize that body parts are biohazard however also know orthodox jewish beleifs that mandate all blood and body parts are to be buried with the person. I had had an uncle who had an amputation of the leg. After pathologist review was complete the limb was given to funeral director for crematon and then ashes given to him to be buried with him and they were.

I have worked with native americans and the very, very traditional ones want all the parts so the deceased will have them when their soul flies. They also want the window open when thier loved one dies

I was baptized and raised in an Apostolic Pentecostal church all of my life and this sounds very bizzare to me. There is no such rationale for this from a church standpoint. There has to be other reasons, but I can't think of any.
