I thought it was just a statement on being labeled "Christian" as opposed to other titles such as Pentecostal/Apostolic or even Methodist, to which I can agree. We sometimes are more Pentecostal/Apostolic than we are "Christian".
I must have misunderstood the original post.

I have not walked in Rhoni´s shoes...but we all limp one way or the other...
Rhoni, we both know the HG is real and it is people not God that inflicts our wounds...I was stabbed more this past year than ever before...hurt deeper than ever before...some people will never be the same to me...BUT God did not do it...some of his children did it...sometimes we all want to run...stop the spinning and get off...but life continues...people are the same...Many times pastures look greener across the field but when you get there it is the same story...humans...
We all stumble...as human he too stumbled ...we all have our calvaries...via dolorosas...

I am praying for you...

Not to sound judgemental but I would not go Trinity or to a Non-Spirit filled church.
Yes be a Christian but be one like the early Christians in the NT.

Dear Rhoni,

I'm sure you will be very happy on this portion of your journey onward. Many new and exciting experiences, revelations, and insights await.

Be sure and keep us posted on the new horizons that stretch out before you as your vision expands and becomes ever more inclusive.

Ie, Acts 2:38, repentence, baptism in Jesus name, infilling of the Holy Ghost, holiness. There are many independent Oneness believers that are just as filled up with the garbage as you are. Look around before you leap, there are people that are in the exact same place as you who would willingly help.

Wisdom in these remarks.

Rhoni, you know what is amazing? When people say they want to be like Jesus! They are thinking of walking on water, healing the sick etc. What Jesus is thinking of, when they say that, is stripes on your back and a crown of thorns. As like Sis Alvear, at the end of the road you will have many scars, stab wounds and stripes to show. Then and only then will we be like Him!

Semantics.

I've been hurt too myself recently but the book of Acts experience is real and it will always be One God and Jesus Name.
I'm not throwing that aside.

You did understand. I am "Christian", as the term "Pentecostal/Apostolic" has so much negative connotation for me and many others that I do not want to be associated with the term and many of the people.

Sis CS, it is you, and others like you that I have no toelrance for so what you think of me is of no consesequence.

Sis. Alvear, I do understand the concept of what you are saying but you must understand that for me to allow myself to be put in the position of another inflicting these same open wounds would be egregious on my part - wouldn't you say?

Respectfully, Rhoni

Blessings, Rhoni

Rhoni, I met Gloria Hanby at the General Conference in 198X and talked to her and her son Todd.

Todd was a childhood classmate and friend.

Gloria being the x-wife of Mark Hanby.

She shared with me how she was then attending a Methodist Church.

I recently went to a Methoist Church in town and met a young pastor.

He shocked me when after talking he stated that he had been Baptized in JN.

WHich he stated to me was his choice.

He also shared with me that he openly preaches and teaches on the speaking of tounges and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

He told me that he shared with his local leadership in the Methodist church they could either accept it or ask for his card.

He then shared with me what part the Methodist church played in the 20th Century revivials.

God bless you and continue with the Lord.

He is good and you are a great lady....

Sincerely,
