The difference between most of the PCI men of that day and the ones who claim it today is in their emphasis and choice of fellowship.
Men like Oscar Vouga chose to throw their lot in with those who strongly promoted the New Birth message, such as PAJC men.
Many of the ones who claim to believe the PCI doctrine today use it as a basis for breaking fellowship with strong Apostolic preachers, and prefer rather to fellowship with those who don't even believe all that similarly.
This is a big difference.
You can't compare the men like Vouga who preached the New Birth with fervor and passion to these glorified Baptists today who have more in common with easy-believism preachers than with Apostolic men who will declare the whole counsel of God.
Nobody said Oscar Vouga had horns, or was a bad man.
But he was a different breed than a lot of the characters who claim to represent his position.

are those who go down the compromise road to the point where there's no longer emphasis on Holy Ghost baptism and where it no longer matters how a person is baptized, etc. and I feel badly about that. It does happen.
