View Full Version : Quote from Bro. T.W. Barnes' book on healing
Many people of other denominations visit me. A while back a Baptist minister’s wife came to the office and told me, Bro. Barnes, we want the Holy Ghost.
I looked at her and said, Lady you know about our Pentecostal ladies and their standards of dress.
She said, Do you know why we are here? A little Pentecostal girl passes our house every day going to school with her long hair, long dress, no makeup. Conviction got me, and I want to be like that girl.

Do those feelings and words from the Baptist folks necessarily confirm the will of God for them about such issues? (Do you think this can even be asked?)

This means nothing regarding dress codes. Your assertion that clothes somehow brings conviction is laughable, not to mention completely unbiblical. Did I miss something here or are you insinuating outward appearance represents God's ability to bring conviction?
If anyone feels conviction from God, it is God that does the convicting, not us or what we are wearing. To say so, would imply God is dependent on our dress to convict.

Well, evidently you're not interested in letting anybody else know. You are assuming every one else can read your mind. What am I missing?
Speak now or forever hold your peace. lol

YES!
To both questions?
People have been impressed by mormons and felt to leave Oneness and become Mormons. Does that mean it was God's will?

Somehow your questions never seem to make sense.
There is a lot of difference between leaving a Baptist church and becoming oneness with the H.G. and truth and leaving oneness and becoming a Mormon.
And did the oneness people that left ever have anything to start with?
The Baptist woman said she felt convicted by God and wanted to change. Those that leave oneness and become Mormons are following the spirit and doctrine of demons!
How is that the same thing?

I know TW Barnes he was great friend of my dad's. See my mom's brother was pastor of the First Baptist Church of Minden, LA.
The same town TW Barnes pastored for many years.
Everybody who was Baptist went to the one church.
It ran near 2000-3000 members.
He pastored from 1963-1989.
It was the church that Lyndon Johnson's grandfather founded.
My uncle was former AOG.
His wife's father and brother were officials in the AOG for many years.
He then moved over to the southern baptist organization.
I know he spoke in tounges and he told me in 2000 just a few years before his death.
That he had been baptized first in the titles and then after his retirement JN.
I am not sure what time period TW Barnes is referring to...
My auntie always cut her hair...
Both Dr Prince and TW Barnes were friends and did many funerals and weddngs together since families had folks in both churches...
My dad would preach for TW Barnes and then go over to have lunch at Dr Prince's home....
