The Difference Between the PCI of the Merger and the Current Counterfeits

I have to chuckle when I see these modern backsliders calling themselves adherents of the "PCI" doctrine.

They don't have any more in common with the old PCI men than modern liberal democrats do with the architects of the New Deal. They both claim a connection with a heritage they have absolutely nothing in common with, and simply want to trade on a name that is respected.

The men of the PCI were mostly men who had come out of denominations that were trinitarian, and had received a revelation of Truth.

They preached their revelation with such passion and fervor that no one would have known by their preaching that they differed from the PAJC men, for the most part.

This was because they had made a move toward Truth and revelation.

They loved this New Birth, Oneness Message.

This new breed are a totally different kettle of fish.

They are moving away from Truth.

They are embarassed to be associated with strong doctrinal men. They would rather identify with those proclaiming an easy-believism message than with the Apostolic church.

So when you try and get them to discuss the doctrine of salvation, they spout clouds of obfuscatory smoke about how it is Jesus who saves, and it is a journey, and blah blah blah.

Nothing solid.

And they call themselves adherents of the "PCI Doctrine."

Well, the men of the old PCI would probably be ashamed to claim them, because they came out from long and deeply rooted belief systems and sold out to preach this Jesus Name message. It cost them something to be able to say "I'm one of them," as the old song says.

Most of these slack-jawed compromisers could preach all day, and if you ran their message through a centrifuge, you couldn't distill half an ounce of good doctrine, nor figure out how to be saved.

PCI?

Yep.

Pathetic Compromising Ingrates.

Now, if that isn't clear enough, let me know and I will try and dial it down a little better for you.

Ahhhh, clarity. Thou art a virtue!

Ironically, I was thinking about the distillation process as I walked on the treadmill this morning and asking God what would be left of me if he were to turn up the heat and cook out all the superfluous self that is in me. The revealed result was that all that would remain in the beaker would be the Truth I had embraced and held for that is all that will stand when the heat is turned up!

This is excellent. It is truly a tragedy to see how some have taken this label and used it to justify a doctrine which clearly comes directly from hell. Your wise words are appreciated.

Thank you, Sir.

I will dispel the myths of the "indistinguishable" PAJC and PCI view this afternoon ... Granted both believed in Jesus Name baptism, the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Onesss in the same light ... [let's not forget that men like Goss who was AG and was in the center of the "new issue"] .... but to say that their soteriological views were lock step or that their views baptismal regeneration were identical... or preached Acts 2:38 as carbon copies .... is fallacious.

Men like Yadon, Goss, Gurley were very clear on their doctrinal views of salvation ... the attempt by modern PAJCers to blur the lines is perhaps an attempt to revise the history and the tragedy of the Affirmation statement.

I am not ashamed of my heritage ... I am not ashamed of the Oneness message ... I am not ashamed of Jesus name baptism ... or the in-filling of the baptism of the Holy Ghost .... but there is a distictness in our views as to when salvation is made available ... what baptism signifies and its purpose ... the purpose of the baptism of the Holy Ghost .... and a current movement to unify the movement under the "Acts 2:38" banner to ostracize those who do not hold the PAJC view .... see ya soon fellas.

God bless.
