And then I hear, "Well, they were coming out of denomintional churches and were not willing or unable to refute their own experiences there." In other words, our Pentecostal pioneers, not wanting to say they were never saved before, made excuses for themselves.
I have to tell you, it is disheartening...very troubling to know that the church history I thought I knew, I did not. It is equally troubling to read that the men I have held in such high regard spoken of with such disdain...just a shrug of the shoulders and a "they never believed it" and then go about our business?!
I don't get this...not at all!!

What's rich is that these men were shot down with the same vitriole back then .... and now ... ironically.... the new hardliners will dare say we're not really like the old PCI greats .... you can't win for losing ....
