There's a free for all in the organization, so much so that we're hearing that there are certain Bishops that no longer even teach that tongues is the evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost (something so basic to Pentecostal Doctrine).
I'm not an ultra-con when it comes to standards, but I do believe in a separation and I do believe in outward holiness. My biggest beef with the organization isn't the standards, it's the lack doctrinal integrity. There's a lot of compromise on just about anything and everything. I honestly don't know how long P.A.W. will actually remain oneness. If the more conservative pastors and Bishops (like my own pastor) leave, then it'll only be a year or two before they'll openly allow F, S, HG preachers to join, preach, and teach. Yes there are rumors that they already are, but not the org isn't open about it and denies it. I love P.A.W., I got saved in a P.A.W. church. Something has got to change quick though, or it's going to split, real soon.
