The Difference Between the PCI of the Merger and the Current Counterfeits

True, but "All these are for ensamples, and are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."

God takes the terms of the covenant seriously.

Many of the current PAJCers are a very different breed than their forefathers. They espouse and entertain mindsets and lifestyles that those only a generation or two back would strongly disapprove of. In fact would probably call them backslid.

Wow ... more truth ....

This is exactly my point of view, Dave.

I am having a hard time figuring out why Ron is so touchy about this.

1. Sing the wondrous love of Jesus;
sing his mercy and his grace.
In the mansions bright and blessed
he'll prepare for us a place.
Refrain:
When we all get to heaven,
what a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
we'll sing and shout the victory!

2. While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
clouds will overspread the sky;
but when traveling days are over,
not a shadow, not a sigh.
(Refrain)

3. Let us then be true and faithful,
trusting, serving every day;
just one glimpse of him in glory
will the toils of life repay.
(Refrain>

4. Onward to the prize before us!
Soon his beauty we'll behold;
soon the pearly gates will open;
we shall tread the streets of gold.
(Refrain)

C'mon choir ... sing it ... CS ... you're not a soprano .... get here on the tenor side

They don't have any more in common with the old PCI men than modern liberal democrats do with the architects of the New Deal. They both claim a connection with a heritage they have absolutely nothing in common with, and simply want to trade on a name that is respected.

The men of the PCI were mostly men who had come out of denominations that were trinitarian, and had received a revelation of Truth.

They preached their revelation with such passion and fervor that no one would have known by their preaching that they differed from the PAJC men, for the most part.

This was because they had made a move toward Truth and revelation.

They loved this New Birth, Oneness Message.

This new breed are a totally different kettle of fish.

They are moving away from Truth.

They are embarassed to be associated with strong doctrinal men. They would rather identify with those proclaiming an easy-believism message than with the Apostolic church.

So when you try and get them to discuss the doctrine of salvation, they spout clouds of obfuscatory smoke about how it is Jesus who saves, and it is a journey, and blah blah blah.

Nothing solid.

And they call themselves adherents of the "PCI Doctrine."

Well, the men of the old PCI would probably be ashamed to claim them, because they came out from long and deeply rooted belief systems and sold out to preach this Jesus Name message. It cost them something to be able to say "I'm one of them," as the old song says.

Most of these slack-jawed compromisers could preach all day, and if you ran their message through a centrifuge, you couldn't distill half an ounce of good doctrine, nor figure out how to be saved.

PCI?

Yep.

Pathetic Compromising Ingrates.

Now, if that isn't clear enough, let me know and I will try and dial it down a little better for you.

But....

but...

Many of them had Beards or mustaches?????......

Again, I agree. I believe we should take them just as seriously. I used to believe that if a person repented, was baptized, and then died without receiving the HG, they went to hell, because God had given them ample opportunity before. I am not sure I still believe this.
Do you?

What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning the Great Speckled Bird
Remember her name is recorded
On the pages of God's Holy Word
Refrain:

With the other birds flocking around her
She is so despised by the squad
The Great Speckled Bird in the Bible
Representing the great Church of God
2.

Desiring to lower her standard
They watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teachings
But really they find no mistakes
3.

I am glad I have learned of her meekness
I am proud that my name's on her book
For I want to be one never fearing
On the face of my Savior to look
4.

When He cometh descending from heaven
On the cloud that He writes in His Word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him
On the wings of that great speckled bird
5.

What a wonderful word is recorded
By the prophet of God in His Word
Of His church and all those who are faithful
And are like to that great speckled bird
6.

With the other birds flocking against her
They envy her glory in vain
They hate her because she is chosen
And has not denied her dear name
7.

She is spreading her wings for a journey
She is going to take by and by
When the trumpet sounds in that morning
She will meet her dear Lord in the sky
8.

In the presence of all her despisers
With a song never uttered before
She will rise and be gone in a moment
For her great tribulations are o'er
9.

I long for the day of her coming
When friends that are gone I shall see
In robes and a crown of bright glory
They are waiting in heaven for me
