Thad's Pentecostal/Charismatic "List"

[Scott Hutchinson]

I'm not ashamed to be labeled as Pentecostal, because I feel the NT. church began on the day of Pentecost.
However I want to be known as a child of God ,and a Christian.

I guess as long as my wife continues to look UPC I won't be able to shake the label.

From what was said on another thread Bernard is asking to rethink the beard issue so you still might not be covered.

On my business cards, on my web site and some times in my email signature, I list myself as:
Apostolic in doctrine
Pentecostal in experience
Charismatic in practice
Non-denominational in affiliation
Inter-denominational in fellowship

The reasons for using these terms:

I believe in the New Testament and the teaching of the Apostles.

I have received the HGB (Holy Ghost Baptism) as received by about one third of the early church on the day of Pentecost as recorded in Acts chapter 2

Some of the gifts (charismata) of the Spirit have been seen in my life and ministry.

I do not belong to any of the recognized denominations. I am an ordained minister in a small OP organization called The Churches Of Jesus Christ International (CoJCI) but I do not consider that a denomination

I fellowship with folks who are OP, UPC, Independent, and some who are part of recognized denominations

sam you may fellowship w/ oneness and upc but you stated at some point somewhere that you are attending a non oneness non denominational church

nope I vividly recall you saying that you had joined some type of ecumenical movement in your community and was having a joint communion service serving wine and all with a priest from your local parish

I mean, seriously, think what the other inhabitants of earth would think of us if they found out we were about to split over TV advertising in the year 2007...

Sometimes we shoot ourselves and our attempts at reaching people in the foot, and this whole "charismatic is an insult" thing is part of it...

OH YEAH!! Plus there's the white elephant in the room of explaining why there are 24 times (at least) more people on earth who are Charismatic and spirit filled than who you consider not-Charismatic and spirit filled... I can't imagine that would go over well with the layman apostolic....

I find it almost gratifying that I look stupid to you.

Do you comprehend the fact that we are not communicating with "the rest of the planet" here? This is an Apostolic message board. We have our own vernacular among ourselves.

Terms like: "get the victory," "pray through," "shockamoo" and others wouldn't mean much to the rest of the planet either. But again, context is important. We are talking among ourselves, not trying to communicate with the rest of the planet.

And this is important because...?

Two requests:

1.How many people have you and are you reaching to qualify you as an expert?

2.Show me in my post where I said the term "charismatic" was an expert.

There are lots of Hindus in the earth, and Buddhists and Muslims. More than all the Christian denominations and beliefs put together. Your point?

The average Apostolic layman is not stupid, and knows that there are more AoG, Charismatics, trinitarian Pentecostals, etc. Catholics are the most numerous of all Christians. Therefore?

Larry, you have no point.
