Re: Pitfalls in Solely Relying on Acts for doctrin
If I am reading this correctly, only twelve PEOPLE received the Holy Spirit in the AG org in 2007.

LoL
Elder, before I moved out to Texas, I visited an AoG with my aunt.
She's very into "Non Denominational" churches.
And that's what it was... a non denominational church.
Everything was timed so perfectly. The message was very brief.
They have to get em out as soon as they get em in. 3 services
on Sunday morning. Nothing wrong with a big church, mind you.
There was no speaking in tongues that I was aware of. If it wasn't
for the marquee, I would have thought I was at Lakewood in Houston.

Re: Pitfalls in Solely Relying on Acts for doctrin
The New Testament is the theory, we ask the questions which create the test, Acts is the answer key - that is, theory put to work, or put to ACTions.

The NT is theory? Acts the answer key? OMG!!!!
The death and resurrection of Christ ... a big hypothetical until it's acted upon by us?
