It is easy to tell someone else how to grow a good garden until you have one then it is another story...easy to preach about the saints kids until your kids do the same thing....easy to preach against christmas until you take a church that pays good tithes and celebrates christmas.....lol...and on and on....many people do not really believe what they say they do....watch how they change when they change pastures....
The best thing is try to be a CHRISTIAN.....I Cor 13....is the rule we will be judged by along with the rest of the Bible....
4 Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud,
5 never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong.
6 It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out.
7 If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him. TLB
Even if someone's view of the NB differs from our own, love should reign supreme.
As far as I can tell, the UNITED Pentecostal Church was formed DESPITE differing views of the NB. It was their love for the brethren which prevailed.
"...admonishing all BRETHREN that they shall not contend for their different views to the disunity of the Body."
The mistake today, as I see it from my house, is their lack of viewing those with differing views as being part of the Body.

Were they completely submerged and did you clearly enunciate the name Jesus with at least one title like Lord and Christ so they would know which Jesus (there are more than one with that name in the New Testament) you meant?
And did they have on any jewelry (including watches or rings) when they supposedly received the Holy Ghost or were baptized?
It's good to see someone standing for the truth, as you are Sam. The only thing I would add is concerning the 37 speaking in tongues. Did those people speak with REAL tongues? Sometimes folks will speak in tongues, but it's not the real oneness tongues but trinitarian tongues.

Right, without the other side of the story, It's best to reserve judgment

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
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.

lol. Trinitarians speak in tongues too, real ones. Maybe not all of them but remember, before we were Oneness we started out as part of the AOG.

Hmm. I checked too and failed to see to any rejection of 37 people recieving the Holy Ghost. I may have missed it somewhere, but did not see it. I saw another issue being discussed unrelated to 37 people recieving the Holy Ghost. I will continue looking though.
