I'm new here, and am trying to get a feel for the members on this forum. What "type" of church do you attend? However you want to answer is fine with me (UPCI, Oneness Pentecostal, WPF (help us all), COGIC, etc.).
I just want to say that I'm not looking for sarcasm or rudeness. I've only been on here a short time, and have quickly realized that a lot of you are just looking for an argument. If that's you, feel free to not respond.

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

Oneness Pentecostal, but I was hoping we'd go Charismatic

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Arguments aren't all that scary. Most of us are just like you, trying to make sense of things.

I run with a evangelical-charismatic-universalist bunch....which is the true church of course. The other churches are just fakes.
And I'm not looking for an argument. I've found all I want here on the forum!
Use to attend a UPC church. I don't attend any church now.

That's a pretty bold statement that other churches are just fakes. Have you been to every other church and spoken with every other pastor? Seems like you're judging churches based on their members. If you stick to that method of "judgement," I think you're missing out on quite a bit.

Sometimes tongue-in-cheek doesn't convey well in these forums.
