In addition, I was longing for a chance to be part of a Pentecostal fellowship again and we have definitely found a home there.

I had some rather frank discussions with the pastor and he said that while he was Apostolic in faith, he knew that some believed otherwise.

He said I will never question your faith and salvation because of what you believe. He went on to say that the things that we agree on were far greater than the things we had that differed, and that he would be more than happy to have us as part of the church.

My wife and I really love it there and look forward to every service.

The AG church here is little more than a hyper Baptist church. We just wanted a place where people were prayed for, healed, and the gifts were more openly practiced. I know that my spiritual life has definitely increased since attending there.

Patrick, I am blessed because our AG church is as Pentecostal as any UPC church I have ever been. The Church of God is where I got the Holy Ghost and my church reminds me of the old Church of God services.

Wow. The Church of God is where I received the Holy Ghost as well, and this church reminds me so much of the old Church of God, which is exactly what I told some COG folks.

I'm glad the AG church where you attend is that way, it's not the way in every church anymore.

I won't be part if it is not Pentecostal, blessing on you and your family. I firmly believe that God has a home for each of us we all need a home that we can be part off.

When we left UPC and went to AG, we told them our background and they did not question our Godhead view, Baptism, Holy Ghost or Salvation.

I got the Holy Ghost in 1979 in the Church of God in Labelle, Florida I was still High School.

Sounds like a fair man.

Good luck brother. Just remember the only name that is on the Church is Jesus name.
