Hello, everyone.
I grew up Pentecostal, in a church affiliated with the UPCI, but I left it and religion altogether in 2005, beginning a spirit of questioning and searching -- a search that would bring me to a different kind of altar, seeking reception into a liturgical church, where I converted to Christianity. I say converted because I recognized in 2005 that I didn't really have a personal faith, merely a fearful dedication to what my parents told me to believe. In 2011 I came to Christ honestly, and have since begun to appreciate many of the Pentecostal practices I was brought up with as a way of preserving a relationship with God amid a culture of corrosion and sin. I came here, I think, out of curiosity as to what the general culture is like in the Apostolic/Pentecostal movement today.
