Are these families new to Oneness Pentecost or people already in a Oneness Pentecostals church leaving other churches for JS?
I ask because this is a time tested Oneness Pentecostal tradition when a "big name" preacher takes a church in an area dissatisfied saints in other area churchs then have a new option they didn't have before and often take advantage of it.
Of course futher complicating matters here is that JS previously pastored in the area. How many of these new families are from his previous pastorate?
I have often thought that a high visibility well thought of exUPC guy who has "gone charismatic" would probably do well around the Alexandria, La area for those that have been won at POA but do not agree with the legalism.
