Re: Trinitarian Pentecostalism

Fellowship would certainly be tricky.

I, for one, wouldn't have an issue with attending their revivals, camp meetings, gospel sings, or anything like that, as long as they were in the right intent and the Lord was moving there. No issue. Sure, they aren't in the fullness of the Truth, but I wouldn't entirely cut them off.

However, issues can arise, especially for pastors with new converts in their congregations. It wouldn't be wise to take new converts to a Church of God meeting, or I wouldn't say it would be. Matters of holiness and separation, any Trinitarian views on God, and stuff like that would certainly lead to confusion, and, in some cases, cause people to go the wrong direction from the Truth you're slowly trying to get them to see, understand, and accept as such.

It's something that would take some prayer, and even still I'd be cautious with it personally.

At the same time, however, I wouldn't say my Mother's church is any different than most Church of God churches out there today. They're independent, but are Oneness and baptize in Jesus' name. Any standard of outward holiness is dying with the blue-haired grannies and papas that don't have the strength to stand for it anymore, but yet they still aren't enticed with prosperity gospels or ideas that the Holy Ghost isn't evidenced by tongues and so forth.

So I'd still label them Pentecostal, but they're pushing fast towards that Charismatic changeover.
