Hello From Tennessee...

[Jared Hanley]

Hi. I live in Tennessee. I live in LaFollette and I attend church in Clinton. I am a trinitarian. I don't know if that will get me kicked off or not. When I joined, I didn't see any doctrinal commitments that were required for membership.

So, anyway, if this forum is open to those who disagree with Oneness doctrine, I would like to discuss some of that at some point.

I am a Sunday school teacher at my church, the Clinton Church of God (Cleveland, TN).

In terms of doctrine, I am:

Pentecostal: I believe in tongues as the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost.

Dispensationalist leaning: I am a Premillennial Pretribulational Dispensationalist.

Conservative Egalitarian: I believe that women can serve as pastors and preach to groups of men and women. However, I am not an "evangelical feminist" and I do not agree with the concept of mutual submission.

I prefer the traditional Pentecostal style of ministry which explains part of my interest in Oneness Pentecostalism. many of the popular Pentecostal preachers of our day are Oneness or have Oneness backgrounds. These would include:

T.D. Jakes
Noel Jones
Charles Ellis

There are other topics that I could discuss but I will leave it at that for now.

Welcome! Jump right in, there are plenty of things being discussed even today that we'd love to hear your thoughts on...

Welcome to AFF. We are diverse here. But, if you read the rules, you know where we stand on doctrine.

[Jack Shephard]

There are no specific requirements for you to believe a certian thing in order to join. Just dive in and enjoy the fun! Most of the things here that are debated are mainly things that pertain to different organizations and all, but find your spot and get involved!

Sorry that I am posting this a bit late, but I did not see it until just now.

Welcome to AFF. You would not be the first, and will not be the last that have visited us from a different background. It goes without saying (so I do not know why I am saying it), but we are hardly a homogenous group here at AFF.

Good luck with your swimming in this pool.

Hello!

Welcome. People of all faiths generally come here.

I've been to one Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) church in Maryland. Great group of people. Though, I'm a staunch believer in Water-Spirit Salvation, I definitely appreciate those within the Classical Pentecostal Movement. I fellowship a lot outside of my own organization with the Church of God in Christ. God bless you.

And btw, Bishop Charles Ellis III is my current Presiding Bishop.
