Ok, I'm just kidding. Actually I'm thinking of transferring my ordination from Global to Open Bible. I attend an OB church and will probably going on staff as the pastor of a second congregation in our church. If that happens I'll need to get licensed w/them just to keep the denomination gods happy. It's a small denom that is relatively backwards in alot of ways. But my local pastor is very progressive and says he'll let me get as nutty as I want in order to connect with emerging generations.

Have fun. Can you pick me up a box of baby wipes from Costco? Thanks, you're a doll.
Yeah, I'm nervous about it to some degree. But I really want to do something about my passion to reach post-modern generations and do all sorts of weird, out-of-the-box stuff that I'm willing to swallow the denominaitonal pill in order to do it. But it shouldn't be all that bad I don't think. I've met the regional people and they're cool. My pastor is very cool and even though I've done my best to freak him out and scare him off he keeps taking me out to lunch and saying I'm the guy to plant this church and he wants to pay for it. Who am I to refuse? We're still talking about it though.
My Dad is a UPC pastor and tells me that it's alot like daycare, pastoring is. Lots of back rubbing, burping, and butt wiping and every now and then you gotta break up a fight and make people play nice. If that's all it is then I guess I'm ready!

Doesn't that mean you're Trinitarian as well? 
I guess I put all Trinitarian Pentecostals in the same lump! What makes an Open Bible Church any different from the AoG?

Re: What are the Benefits of Being Independent?
Honestly, I'm pretty neutral on the subject. I've told them that I don't think it's a deal breaker either way and they're good with that. I'm just as happy to be labeled Oneness as I am Trinitarian, as heretical as that might seem to some folks on both sides. They're ok w/it and so am I. I'll just not advertise it unnecessarily in order to keep the peace.

By the time you're done with that, you are too wore out to deal with new converts.

Re: What are the Benefits of Being Independent?
The devils believe in one God and wet themselves. Scriptures shows an understanding of a oneness doctrine is revelatory. Our priorities are so far out of whacked we have seem to miss the boat. Jesus name batpism is important. Understand a oneness theology. Not that important. Many seem not to separate the two.
