Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Has anyone thought about doing a video series on Youtube about the history of the Pentecostal movement (PACJ/PCI)?

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

It might be tough because some of the "best" historians are against TV. Go figure. LOL

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

That is actually a great idea! It could even be an AFF project!

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

I figure there is enough knowledge floating around here to put a good video together to present the facts fairly and honestly.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

You mean like "From Holiness to Cesspool", how a Pentecostal forum went from God's best to the Devils trash?

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

I'm willing to put time into it.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

On the real I think that it would be very neat to view. I am sure that some people will say it is full of untruths when the video shows some photos of some of the original members in pearls and such. Also it will be interesting to see the reaction when some shows the original text from the PCI manual stating that God is Triune or a Trinity because most of the oneness believers treat those words like curse words that are ok to say.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

So, I guess the question we need to pose to everyone is: what do you think should be in the video?

I know for me the jewlry ad in the pentecostal herald and the quote that all articles on the new birth are acceptable were both really enlightening to me. Also Pel mentioned some pictures he had seen of his UPC family members that didn't have the apostolic identity going on. Those pictures would be amazing to get in the video ;)

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

That would be quite an eye opener for MANY people. I think it's a great idea.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Actually, the Fudge book documents some of that stuff well.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

I agree. I was hoping for some other sources too though. I like primary sources the best :) But some of his research will probably have to go into it.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Why not email him? He is on the board here.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Can I help? :nutso

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Is he? I did not know that.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

I thought of a few possible titles for such a video.

The UPC: Yesterday and Today
Follow the Old Paths!
The PCI Tradition
The History of UPC Doctrine

Anyone else have any title ideas?

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Probably.

:heeheehee

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Your not helping! And if your not for this then your against it :P jkjk

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

:D

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

I am pretty sure he popped in here a year or two ago when we were discussing his book.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Awesome. Musta been before my time cause I ain't even been on here for a year!

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

The segment "Oneness Pentecostalism in the 1800's" would be like 5 seconds long. Just long enough for someone to say there ain't any.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

So what are some good sources I could use from 1900 until now? My goal is to be fair and balanced.

Some things that come to mind is Ethel Goss' book, there's a snippet from Christianity without the cross, I have an eletronic copy of Marvin Arnold's book (though many do not agree with his findings)

I would like to start off around or before Azuza street... how it was an Trinitarian only event, then the Topeka Oneness "revelation", followed by the merger between PJAC and PCI all the way to the WPF slip until now.

If there are anymore "major events" please let me know. I would like to develop a script and share it for cross reference.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Frank Bartleman is considered the be the official eye witness chronicler of Azuza and much of early pentecost.

Thats his stuff scanned in online.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Howard Goss and his beliefs and how he was the first general superintendent of the upc?

The upc affirmation statement and each of its revisions?

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Thank you for that site.
I didn't know about it.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Christianity Without The Cross by Thomas Fudge is good.
It tells about the merger in 1945 when the UPC was created and also tells about the subsequent changes. It tells about some of Bro. Goss' beliefs and how he taught them and was treated at the Bible School in California. I would recommend that book to anyone who wants to know about the UPC at its beginning and how it has been changed by some since.

I can furnish a copy in pdf format to anyone who contacts me and gives me an email address where they can receive attachments.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Some books I would recommend are:
The Phenomenon of Pentecost by Frank Ewart this is a classic

The Winds of God by Ethel Goss tells the story of Bro. Goss, his conversion, his baptism in the Spirit, and his part in organizing the Assemblies of God.

Bro. McClain's book on Church history. This is based on his teaching while at the Bible School in Mississippi

United We Stand by Bro. Clanton, this tells the story of the formation of the UPC

What God Hath Wrought by Bro. Fauss this has been expanded to include a couple of Bro. Fauss' books and it is told from his standpoint of how he came into Jesus' name. It also has some old Bible Studies on the Godhead in it from years back.

I think these are all available from the PPH has books or on a CD.
I can furnish them in pdf format to anyone who will pm me an email address where you can receive attachments.

If you don't hear back from me for a couple of days, don't be alarmed. I will be gone to church tonight and will be spending some time with grandkids tomorrow.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

There was a concise article in the Dictionary of Pentecostals and Charismatics. As I recall it started with Topeka and covered the formation of oneness denoms and their mergers. I think it was written by an AG professor. I spoke with his office several years ago and there were no plans to do an updated version. That would be awesome but a HUGE task.

Re: Pentecostal History Youtube videos?
 

Neck had contacted him and posted some Q&A back and forth that they had done.
