Elder Russell did NOT teach that but he believed that unless he changed in his last years which I doubt. Anyone hearing him preach would have never believed he believed that. Also Elder Russell was not much of a conversationalist however as a young man I traveled hours with him and we discussed this. I am glad most do not know he believed this.

I remember seeing Dottie's name in the UPC's minister's manual.

Re: Dottie Rambo Killed in Bus Accident

I just received a call from my friend, Larry Dalton. He will be playing the piano starting an hour before the funeral as a prelude. He did a lot of work with Reba and Donnie McGuire.

He told me that Geron Davis and Bill Gaither are putting together a homecoming choir to sing at the funeral service. The choir will consist of well-known gospel singers and musicians along with certain members of the Christ Church Choir.

I hate it that I will be missing all of this. I'm hoping that Christ Church will video podcast it!

I only heard Bro. Russell preach once. That was about 30 years ago and I don't remember what he said. I'm not sure where I got the idea he was a one-stepper --if it was from things said about him and by folks in his church choir who visited our ALJC church for about three services or just where. He was very strong on baptism in Jesus' name but some of the wording in his autobiography when he talked about baptizing folks may have led me to believe that he didn't believe that baptism is essential to salvation. Eld. Steve Epley knew him well and respected him. I asked Steve if Bro. Russell was a one-stepper and he said he was.

Eld. Epley, unless I misunderstood what you told me, I think you said Bro. Russell was a one-stepper.
If I am wrong, please correct me in answer to this post.

Why? If this is what he really believed, why should people not know? I wouldn't think he would have cared.

His take was somewaht different he believed the water & Spirit teaching but he believed those who had genuinely repented would be saved at the White Throne.
His father pastored what we called a "dry-lander church" they did not believe in water baptism period only Spirit baptism he was raised in that church. His mother died having not been baptized so in my youth I asked about the salvation of his mother. He said you must be born again to enter the kingdom thus he said she would be resurrected after the kingdom(1,000) and be judged.
He fervently preached Acts 2:38 and baptized probably in the thousands.
