I told her "Hold up sister, you mean to tell me that those girls are up there on the platform, worshiping God? And you are sitting in the audience criticizing them? If God were to come right now, who do you think would be right before him?"

She called me back later and thanked me for helping her get her spirit right.

This is the reality that the emphasis on corporate legalism produces. It is denied to me many times but it is the reality I have experienced and seen in my almost 49 years of being in or around old time Oneness Pentecost.

No matter how many times it is said that the standards are not considered "salvational" they are. Ones standing with God is judged by the adherence to the standards believed and taught to the one doing the judging.
