United Pentecostal Church!! group on Facebook
Anyone a member of this group? I just had a surreal "discussion" with some folks in the Discussion section on a thread called "the shack..."
We didn't even really discuss the book, but it is just a hilarious thread. I made a couple of (what I thought were) mundane comments, and the responses are just ... I don't know. It's like everyone is competing with these little mini sermonettes, but some of it is just downright offensive. I normally don't read threads on Facebook because it's just not a great system, but for some reason, I got an email notification about something that took me in there, so I started reading a bit.
All of that to say --- I appreciate AFF, and I really appreciate the people on this board.
God bless.

Re: United Pentecostal Church!! group on Facebook
I'm on Facebook but gave up on groups like Apostolic and Pentecostal etc because they became big argument and condemnation sessions. I don't need that kind of abuse from my Facebook friends. I can come here and get that.

Good point. But it's pretty cool to be condemned on Facebook too. Just sayin...

Re: United Pentecostal Church!! group on Facebook
Good grief. I was not a huge fan of The Shack, but burning it?
Looks like I left just in time.

- That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
- The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
