Nothing but entrenchment of their identities in this organization which has a storied past.... it's all they know. ... that and latino pride in being right.

My daughter is getting marrying a boy from AA. His family came from AA and they said it's a mess. A number of AA members have started coming to our church. Also since this has all started the local pastor was kicked out and he has started a new church.

I don't think the whole AA is messed up. There was some shaking up and something on both sides that could have been different but I do not think it is any more messed up than any other organization.

Keep in mind the AA is one of the oldest Oneness orgs in North America .... their history goes back to Azusa Street ....

Also it .... is the oldest Spanish-speaking Oneness Pentecostal denomination in the United States. It is also the oldest primarily Hispanic denomination in the world and is also the eighth fastest growing Hispanic denomination (Wiki)

http://www.apostolicassembly.org/aboutus_history.aspx

The Apostolic Assembly of the Faith in Christ Jesus emerged out of the Pentecostal movement that began with the Azusa Street revival in the city of Los Angeles in 1906. Juan Navarro, a participant of that revival, baptized Francisco Llorente in 1912, who later was elected the first Bishop President of the Apostolic Assembly when it formed in 1925. The organization became a California corporation on March 15, 1930.

Throughout the humble beginnings of the Apostolic Assembly, our tenacious yet caring leaders ministered primarily to the spiritual needs of a growing number of Spanish speaking people who flooded into this country looking for a better life for their families. Since then, we have made great strides in not only providing ministry to this Missionary generation and its subsequent generations, but we have broken the cultural barrier and have provided bilingual ministry to subsequent Boomer and Buster generations as well. We are confident that the Apostolic Assembly will continue to grow, in both financial strength and in membership in the years to come. Because the moral fabric of our society continues to weaken, the church stands willing to face the challenges of meeting the spiritual needs of hurting people around the world.

During its first eighty years of existence, the Apostolic Assembly has had eight national leaders or "Bishop Presidents" as listed below, with corresponding terms in parenthesis:

>> Francisco Llorente (1925-28)
>> Antonio Castañeda Nava (1929-50, 1963-66)
>> Benjamin Cantu (1950-1963)
>> Efrain Valverde (1966-1970)
>> Lorenzo Salazar (1970-1978)
>> Manuel Vizcarra (1986-94)
>> Baldemar Rodriguez (1978-86, 1994-2002)
>> Daniel Sanchez (2002-Present)


The man who lost his church in the video was Presiding Bishop of the org twice .... serving over 16 years.

He was give the title of Bishop Emeritus after his second term ended ..... That's big news.
