Cuz I wasnt born here but moved here.... Then there is the issue of what is Dallas? do you mean the city of Dallas or all the surrounding locals? There are about a hundred cities that are of substantial size that are all part of the Metroplex

We do have the NBA Champs, and what could be the MLB Champs...
we also have the Fort Worth Zoo, the Nasher Musium.
The Dallas Cowboys and least we forget In-n-Out is now a Dallas institution!

My memories of him is that he had a really cool Cadillac Limo with a chauffer at Louisiana Campmeeting in the mid 70's when I was there!

Were you in his church at the time he died? Were you one of them who waited for him to raise himself from the dead? Enquiring minds want to know!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

Re: Chester Hensley

I was in the church when Rev passed away and was at the funeral.....I received the Holy Ghost on May 29 1977...moved to Nederland March 1979...In those few short years that I was there, I saw the true gifts demonstrated. I am not ashamed of knowing him and being under his ministry...Its really amazing to see post where there is negativity spoken about him, when all some have is just hearsay. If you want to know anything then ask me...thanks and God bless

It was pretty funny. I have always loved limos so I got a kick out of getting to see one close up (not to many of them in La. at that time) but thought it was strange a pastor would be riding a limo. I guess he was an early adopter of the prosperity message?

I must have been at the same campmeeting as you. Saw him park the limo behind the tabernacle and walk in with a flourish!
