very interesting- always found their lifestyle fascinating.

so did you grow in the community that is close to Philadelphia? i can't remember the name of it right now.... I've been there a few times.

you never said how your family reacted to your conversion to Pentecost

Lancaster County, Pa was my birthplace - yes.

It was a bit tramatic for them and I both, but our commonalities have won over our disagreements. My father and I worked together prior to his death. Today I also have a younger brother who attends a Pentecostal Church.

I think our relationship can be termed as one of mutual respect. We are a close knit and connected family for the most part.


Funny - I went to a farmers market in NY this past summer and met some Mennonite vendors who turned out to be my relatives!

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Were you of the group that disallowed rubber tires and rubber shoe soles, and had twelve men as elders with one being like Peter who determined who was saved and who was not, and forbade belts for pants and only allowed suspenders?

I know a brother who was of THAT sort of group. Whew. Imagine!
