I believe in teaching kids HOW to pray, praying for others (Intercession) and offering praise and thanks giving. I believe in teaching about the Holy Ghost and letting them decide when they are ready

Exactly. Coercion is counterproductive in most cases I think - whether child or adult.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
