Tennessee UPC Campmeeting

[Hesetmefree238]

I attended the Tennessee District Campmeeting last night in Jackson, TN.
Bro. Jeff Arnold is the nightime evangelist. He preached a message, not sure
if he gave a title, on Being About The Father's Business. It was a good
message. The Bethel Springs Choir Sang. They actually got the preacher on
the floor at 8pm. The service started at 7pm, so this was record time for
a campmeeting in our district.
I will be going again tonight. Our church choir will be singing. Also, our sign
team will be signing. I will try to keep everyone posted.
Oh, and by the way, no strange prophecies last night as far as I could tell.

Unfortunately, since the UPCI campmeeting is not in NASHVILLE this year, I won't be able to attend!

It's right here at my backdoor, but it's only three nights now, or so I heard. What's up with that???

Anyway, we had church last night, church tonight in Savannah, and who knows what tomorrow night? So I won't be going, but one of our pastors was going tonight. We drove by it on our way home tonight, and it looked like a good crowd. I did hear that all that preliminary stuff they used to take up time with is now on the big screens before church, and they are getting the preacher on the floor in record time!

I'm not trying to be controversial, and I'm not trying to hijack this thread, but i have a question. Tennessee used to be (from what I understand) pretty strongly PCI (one step salvation). Has this changed, or is that still true? I'm not looking for a fight. I'm just wondering if things have changed there.

I'm considering going tonight. It's been about 5 years since I've been, so I'm sure things have changed even in that short time!

Most of the PCI brethren have been slowly but surely pushed out of the organization, IMO. The elders in this area who were strong PCI---many of them have passed away now and the younger ones coming into positions are stronger the other way. The ones of us who believed like Bro. Moore, Bro. Hansford, Bro. Greer, etc. have pretty much gone independent. The ones who are left in the organization who believe the PCI teachings probably wouldn't admit it in a public setting!!

Will do. If I go, I'm going with your mother-in-law. Wanna go with us?

Here is a report from the Thursday night campmeeting service.
The preacher was again on the floor in record time. I love this! The
preliminaries at campmeeting used to be atrocious. This is a huge
improvement from the past.
Our choir sang last night. Also our sign team performed. The audience
responded well. There was a good spirit of worship.
Brother Jeff Arnold preached on the miraculous. This seems to be his
theme for this campmeeting. He did a good job, and challenged my
faith to believe God for greater things.
The service ended with a very good and long alter service.
By the way I was the soloist on the first choir song last night. Did anyone
recognize me?

I was there Wed. and Thursday nights. I sat up in the cheap seats, as Bro. Arnold called them.
