I am not an ex-pentecostal
Any of you Pentecostals tired of the un-named hardliners brand you as ex-Pentecostal? You read time after time how the forum is ex-Pentecostal blah blah blah, yet here you are Pentecostals always here posting. Amazing. An Ex-Pentecostal forum is a forum made for the sole purpose of unifying those that say they are ex-pentecostals. That is not and never was the purpose of this site. Just because there are some members that have differences of opinions with the hard liners does not make them all ex-pentecostals.
And yes we may have some members that do in fact consider themselves ex-pentecostals but that does not make the forum what the hard liners keep harping about. If you fear there are too many of them than there are of you then your choice is to have MORE of you come here and out number them or leave....
It honestly makes me wonder if there isn't some evil puppet master pulling their strings and sending them over here randomly to post the same baloney almost verbatim over and over and over. Why? Why claim to leave and never return....then just come back and post the same sort of stuff Epley just did?

Same here, with a particular note of what happened beginning at the Feast of Pentecost in the New Testament - and with never ending thankfulness for what made Pentecost happen at all... the sacrifice of the Son of God.

Re: I am not an ex-pentecostal
Some of my business cards describe me as:
Apostolic in doctrine
Pentecostal in experience
Charismatic in practice
Non-denominational in affiliation
Inter-denominational in fellowship.
On at least one forum, I call myself Jesus' name Pentecostal

Re: I am not an ex-pentecostal
I certain do believe in the initial evidence doctrine,and the gifts of the spirit.
I don't consider myself an ex-or nonpentecostal.

Re: I am not an ex-pentecostal
The point I think was about what you are not. Do you "Christians" claim to be ex-pentecostal?

Absolutely not. I am Oneness Pentecostal.
On network television they called the Hoover's an "Ultra Conservative" family.
