You can start by living with some ex Menno chimney sweep family in one year you will be halfway there. I choose my bristles with pride - yes I do...

Steven, correct me if I'm wrong, ok?

the Amish and Mennonites do not teach Oneness, Berk. And they baptize (by sprinkling, right?) in the titles. And heaven forbid you should consider speaking in tongues.

Standards-wise they've got Apostolic people beat all to pieces. But Berk, are you willing to give up all the rest just for the sake of stricter standards? (I'm curious, bro. Not condemning :) )

This isn't about standards. I was the Ultra Con poster boy at one time. :) Hey, maybe in a few years you will hear reports about the split of an Amish community over speaking in tongues.. :)

They use a "pouring" method of baptism.

There are some anabaptist writings that are Oneness but in practice they are mostly Trinitarian. I have some interesting facts on this I will share sometime...

Tongues? They are big on tongues. Mostly Penn. Dutch/German!!!

My dad is a "driver" for the Amish. They hire him to drive them long distances--state to state to visit relatives or for vacation--ect.

He has learned a lot about their lifestyle and at one point had one family that asked about my family's religion. They even attended a church service with my mom and dad--they did not participte but sat in the back and observed.

Earlier this year my mom got call from them--they are now tongue talkin apostolics!

We have some nice Mennonite people in Arkansas. Best place in the world to buy milk. My husband was telling me a story of a closing he was do for a Mennonite family. He said it was a big money deal and they brought their money in and started counting out the $1,000s of dollars and realized it was not enough. He said the older man said, "No brother ------- you brought the wrong bag of money go get the other bag"
