I get very concerned when I see what is happening in our country. Then I take a look at what is happening in churches, and I wonder...what is our recourse? If "Christianity" continues to go in the direction it seems to be going in, what hope does the country have? I just think that it is time for the church to really act and stand up.

Excellent article. Grady has hit the nail on the head. Everybody needs to click on that link and read the article.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

I was never a fan - nor a huge critic really, but now, IMHO it would take a fool to follow him.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves

I guess if David could get up and go on and be used and blessed of God after adultery and murder there may be hope for Todd Bentley. I wonder how long David was "set down" and "restored" before he began again to write Psalms, to worship God, and to rule as king. And, we didn't remove his writings from our Bibles after his fall.
