Tear it apart piece by piece, and you won't really have much. Leave it all together as is, and it's an amusing piece of facebook-script.
He was saying, "We agree more than we disagree, but pride keeps everyone from admitting it. Trinitarians are afraid of Jesus' name baptism and Apostolics are afraid of the title 'Father.' And btw: Baptists don't need to be embarrassed about speaking in tongues."
It's not more complex than that. The rest is neon ornamentation.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
