If you would take a moment to read my posts concerning the issue, you would find numerous references to 'some'.

In discussing this issue, do you have evidence that I paint all 'apostolics' with a broad brush? Or is your accusation baseless?

When doing this, the *Pastor* asked the ladies to gather about me and pray. He laid hands on me and I felt Gods healing touch. After the service I was approached by one of the woman who had prayed for me.....she hugged me(in which I am not a hugger to people I do not know) so when I extended my hand...she snatched me to her, hugged me hard (roughly~ as she was about 6 ft-300 pounds compared to my 5 ft tall 100 pound body ) and with her bad (smelled of moth balls) breath , her missing teeth and haggard smile said ever so gently (but accompanied by a very evil vibe I picked up from her).......................*The reason you are sick is because you have sin in your life and this is Gods way of telling you to get the sin out or you will remain sick in your body*...... I really wanted to say you are a bloody idiot lady......but I didn't. It was sort of disturbing to the point we never went back while there in that town. I have nothing against ANY religion at all and I respect Gods people immensely but I loath fanatical people....and people as this lady...... she was pure evil but called herself Gods chosen~Apostolic!

Too bad, but it seems like to me that you judge her, just like she judged you.

Your opinion! Not so! God gives everyone some kind of discernment in their spirit and that was mine.

Per your text below Seekerman...

I wasn't clear with my statement. I should have said that within oneness pentecostalism, the behavior usually occurs in those who call themselves 'apostolic'. Within oneness pentecostalism, the more conservative they are, the more cult-like they become and the more likely the practice of allowing children to suffer, and sometimes die, will occur. Within oneness pentecostalism, those people will almost always self-label themselves as 'apostolic' and and be subject to a domineering pastorate who must be followed, even to the point of the abuse of children. This isn't painting all oneness pentecostals as such for most aren't, but it is recognizing the fact that the more 'apostolic' a group is, the more conservative they are in their dress and beliefs and behavior. In other words, the more cult-like they become

See your broad brush.....

That isn't painting ALL 'apostolics' with a broad brush. I specifically referenced those 'apostolics' who practiced a theology which resulted in the suffering, and sometimes death, of children.

I certainly stand by my statement.

MAYBE she was using her "discernment" , but it still looks like judging by BOTH of you.

why would he call out denominations that he wasn't a part of?
