Michael... if you are referring to the above (in bold). I believe Bro. Griffin was referring to Bro. Barley being a former missionary, rather than Bro. Price, Try to follow along, Brother. We'll type slower if that'll help.

Lol, thanks, my brother. Ooops, here's my hankie, little drool there.......

With some of the recent postings made by William Michael Price, questions have been raised by a few as to the teachings, and beliefs of his most recent pastor, Steve Barley.

Personally, I have been privileged to spend some quality time with him. He is a gentleman, full of agape, and integrity, and he is Apostolic to the core. He has given his life to the preaching of Acts 2:38 being the only correct response to the gospel. He has been instrumental in the foundation of no less than 105 Apostolic churches, the vast majority of them in Central and South America while serving as a missionary for the UPCI. He currently is involved in several Apostolic organizations including ACN, AWCF, and MAJC, he even holds national positions within the latter two.

He has literally laid his life on the line for this glorious message, having once even been captured by terrorists in Guatemala and within hours of execution before he was rescued.

While not one to condemn others as lost who have a different understanding of the Godhead, he has never wavered from the traditional understanding of Oneness Pentecostals; that there is One God, manifest as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, baptism is to be in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost is evidenced by speaking in tongues.

William has been removed from the site of Gloryland Church and indeed has subsequently tendered a letter of resignation of membership there. The details of this are really the sole concern of the principals involved.

However, I can state without equivocation that if or when William should choose to return he will be welcomed in love and without condemnation by Pastor Barley. Furthermore the same can be said of both Daniel Alicea and myself.

William knows the personal lines of communication are still open and but for the fact of a desire on my behalf to make sure that Pastor Steve Barley’s stance (which has been questioned in public) be made clear, I would have preferred to keep such things private.

Christ’s love to all.

People with too much time on their hands? Imagine if their was no such thing as Internet? This would be yet another blip in time. Bill Price changes pastors as fast as he changes his mind. So, what are we supposed to do with this information? Pastor Barley is just another rest stop in the travels of William Price.

Who has influenced BP to become trinitarian? Where is he congregating now? Did rejecting baptismal regeneration and accepting greasy grace salvation start the slippery slope?

The point is to let everyone know Bill isn't on staff, or a member, of that church anymore. Surely you don't find fault with the pastor issuing this statement.

I praise God that Pastor Barley, whom I also know quite well, has a heart of forgiveness, and restoration for Bro. Price when he comes back home, which I am sure he will.

I don't believe anyone here has expressed any hatred toward BP.

Disgust perhaps, but not hatred.

The poll taken had a hate answer on it. I am talking about the love shown on a thread with hundreds of posts with judgemental spirits and attitudes on them.

I am surprised that the more liberal side has so many judgemental attitudes, I thought it was only a conservative trait.

Well, sadly, we're all still human and carry around this body of flesh and one of the works of the flesh or human nature is hatred. Wherever we reside on the Ultra Lib to Ultra Con scale we can all unfortunately exhibit works of the flesh

Bill Price is a sad story, and is obviously unstable in ways other than just spiritual.

Yes, you are so right, while I am not privy to all the details of his latest change, it is clear that he is quite emotionally unstable and needs to get well.
