Baptism is NOT a man made element!

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.

Wasn't she COOL! Cape AND Tambourine! "The Whites don't WANT me and the blacks wont have me!!!" -Willie Johnson
Oh and did you EVER hear her sing "Jesus is the light...Light of the world, he's ever shining in my heart!" ?
You do realize that you had a most unusual pastor in those days if he would have opened up the church for her, though she really did have quite a following! Bishop Stallworth who recently passed away told me he almost joined the UPC years ago until he found out that he would be listed in the directory but in the "Colored Ministers" section.

That was kind of the end of that!
I remember Sis. Willie Johnson preaching a revival at the Church in St. Paul MN. It was the church the ABI students had to go to.
I also remember when the UPC manual had a separate section at the end for "Colored" ministers.

Why do you think Jesus had a beard? Are you some kind of a rebel, long-haired, drug crazed hippy?
Jesus wouldn't have had a beard. He would have been clean shaven, no hair touching his ears or collar, He would have worn a white shirt buttoned at the wrist, a black two or three piece suit, black socks and black shoes, and certainly no jewelry including a watch or metal belt buckle.
And, by the way, the prophecy about them pulling the hairs on his face refers to how those Roman soldiers pulled tweezers out of their pockets and pulled the several hour growth of beard stubble from Jesus' face. The only reason He had that stubble was because He had been under arrest since right after the last supper and had not had a chance to shave since then.
