The Trinitarian Appreciation Thread - We Thank You.
 

We, as Oneness Pentecostals, owe a great debt of gratitude to our Trinitarian brethren for many things we take for granted today ... among these things are:

1. Multiple translations of the Bible [including the beloved KJV]
2. Hymnals and other worship resources
3. Countless books and literature that have blessed and inspired our lives
4. Worship songs and hymns that we sing and listen to ...
5. Models of ministry
6. Christian Radio and TV

Perhaps my grateful Oneness brethren can add to this list ....

how about example of benevolence ministries! We are dead last on that one for sure!

Absolutely ... the Salvation Army and other ministries ... like Angel Food Ministries are making a difference in communities.

This is true and nobody can deny it.

I received a majority of my healing spiritually and emotionally while attending an Assembly Of God Church. The mercy, love, and compassion ministered to me. It was there I learned about God's grace...I was raised in a works based church and littel mention of grace was used nor was the concept taught on.

Blessings, Rhoni

Thanks to Trinitarians for providing false doctrine so that the light of truth can shine even brighter.


JK, Daniel, jk.:thumbsup

and who can forget the Azusa Street Revival ...

Great thread.

And here I thought that one was from God.

you know what I meant RR ...

BTW, I totally agree with your original post. (Except for the TV part. What they have provided, for the most part, has done more harm than good.)

You know, I thought and thought about this thread and I really have nothing to post.

:D

I had to work at it, but finally came up with something. :icecream

How about a THANK YOU ... even if Epley thinks you all are lost.

When we lived in HK and started a work in a city where we were the only Oneness people around I occasionally attended another Pentecostal church that had been started a few years previous to us arriving on the scene that was "trinitarian".

The Spirit of God and anointing was present in those services just like it is in ours and in fact there was more fervency of worship and free operation of the Holy Ghost than in some Oneness churches.

And that's the truth. Doesn't mean that their doctrine re the Godhead is defensible but God is with and in them just as He is in us.

I agree. Of course if you never ever went to their church it would be easier to deny this fact.

Does she intend to differentiate between "being with them" and "being in us?" Is such a differentiation significant?

You could just ask me RR. Anyhow......... no it wasn't. God is with them and in them just as He is with us and in us.

We are especially thankful for the Catholic faith -- the mother of all harlots -- all trinitarians are daughters of the mother. Thank you.

Personal opinion there.

I do appreciate the Trinitarians. Most of them are much nicer and caring than some oneness people. You find fewer of them that are going to point at a scripture out of context and say because of this you are going to hell. The have, with being on TV, gotten the name of Jesus across the world. We could follow the example set forth by many of them.

Ahem- Old Paths Needed In THIS Thread.

Acknowledging the fact that trinitarians have contributed a lot and have God the same way we have God is not an acknowledgement that their doctrine is pristine.

That is the city of Jerusalem, who persecuted the prophets and the "city in which our Lord was slain".

The Catholic church organization is a cesspool of wickedness!

Pristine Doctrine???????????? Yeah, right!

WRONG. so live with it.

she said it's NOT pristine .. Act .. read ... process .. post.

We appreciate you, because without you, the great thread, "All Trinitarians Are Lost" could never have been posted.

Oh you are so right

I'll make a prediction here. If Jesus doesn't come in the next couple of decades, we will become much closer to anyone who identifies with His name - trinny or not. Is that gradualism and apostasy or something necessary for survival in the future, I don't know. But I think it will happen.

We are a movement that seems to really crave ecumenical acceptance right now.

Are you saying this is an oxymoron like say...military intellegence, or like a kid releasing a yellow baloon that was blue?

who do you mean by "we"???

Another good post Elder.

Dude, I read this twice and have no clue what you are saying here...

Then you did get it. :largehalo

Well, most of the time, when I "get it" I don't know what to do with it. :D

Perhaps this desire is inate to the Christian because of Christ's prayer that we may all be one - even as he is one with the Father.

The men I fellowship most closely are absolutely NOT craving ecumenical acceptance.

I would be horrified if we were gaining ecumenical acceptance, because that would mean we had sold out.

The real Apostolics aren't ever going to crave or receive ecumenical accpetance.

I learned tithing in a good ole southern Baptist church. They are the examples to look to for giving. :icecream

ANY kid that looses a ballon is blue. :highfive

I actually can't stand the term ecumenical because most people use it out of a knowledge of what it truly represents.

The ecumenical movement includes the bizzare religions like Buddism, Islam, Hinduism, Unitarianism, Kaballahism, and the like.

The term is not simply Oneness and Trinitarian folks getting together to debate the finer points.
