There's a ton of different categories to choose from! I don't think there's as many Kappa Tau ones though.. :/

Plus the people at the church I go to usually know about stuff like that. I could just mention it and they'd probably know something

Hi, I was a teenager who was on fire for God as well and had the same problem as you except I couldn't find any people my age who were on fire for Christ. Only older people...and even then there were just a sprinkle of them among a raving ocean of the lukewarm.
Youth groups were a joke. I remember visiting them and shaking my head at how entertainment focused they were with just a sprinkle of Jesus.
I hesitantly say it but please do not take for granted that because something is an assemblies of God church it will be good. The only good experience I have had with the assemblies of God thus far is reading "The Cross and the Switchblade". I thought after reading that book that I would want to find an assemblies of God church for sure. Now I'm not so sure. One of the assemblies of God groups at my old college regularly posts questionable stuff that could mislead young believers and when I posted something that was straight up legitimate talking about being on fire for Christ no matter what the cost, I only got one response from a guy telling me that I should back down.
Uh other advice, which you likely already know but I want to confirm in your heart, do not date unbelievers. Even if the person is called a Christian and goes to church on Sundays. It was the hardest time in my life when I backslid after dating a Sunday/lukewarm Christian who did not truly understand the things of Christ and led me to having a worldly mindset.
Other other advice, do not quench the Spirit. Keep it up in the sea of lukewarmness. Make those boil around you or leave your presence if they do not want God. As Jim Elliot said

No, sir I'm afraid it is most certainly an age thing. Our society looks on youth as a time of indulgence..unfortunately even church culture tends to perpetuate this evil myth. The group I referred to (as well as many youth groups) also has many people willing to help and go on missions. But who is willing to crucify their life (fleshly desires and the good opinion of others) for Jesus Christ who is below the age of 20? Not very many.
Sweetheart, I'm right there with ya!
I have ONE friend who is all about God. All the others say they are Christians but then they turn around and act just like the world.
Don't get me wrong I do love them all but I understand it's hard to live without good Christian friends to help build you up.
On top of that even the teens at church seem to not really care half the time (I'm not saying all of them) and when you have to be around that it's hard.
Hopefully some day soon more people our age will start to take the faith more seriously and become full time Christians and not "Sunday Christians."

Hello again Farouk,
I'm not certain that I am understanding you correctly. Are you saying that doing charity work is sowing in the Spirit? If so, I do not believe that is always true. There are many non-Christian people who do charity work who know nothing of the Spirit and still many more who wear the label "Christian" who go out and do etc. etc. still wanting little or nothing to do with the actual Jesus Christ who states "To come to me, you must die to yourself."
I do not think there is always a direct correlation between helping folks out and being a Christian. I know that faith without works is dead faith but I also know that works does not make faith.

By no means was I saying that just because it's Assemblies of God it's good!! If you were referring to the Fine Arts thing, it's just an Assemblies of God thing, but it was a good experience for me. I didn't mean that it was good because it was Assemblies of God. And unfortunately I have learned the hard way why we are supposed to be equally yolked. Thank you for this though!
