Re: McMinnville pastor accused in suit of Defamati

I do like their Statement of Faith list, though the statement on the Holy Ghost is questionable. I don't see any trinny verbage, but I may have missed it.

Quote:
11.We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a distinct aspect of the Christian foundational experience with the primary evidence of speaking in tongues as well as evidences such as empowerment to witness, to conquer sin and to live a holy life (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 19:6).


Quote:
•The biblical form of church government is a plurality of elders with a Lead Pastor who all qualify on the basis of 1 Timothy 3 in spiritual life, character, domestic life and ruling ability.
Quote:
•Every believer in Christ must be subject to God’s authority in a specific local church for spiritual protection and long term fruitfulness
Ruh roh Sounds like a recipe for another conflict.

The Ministerial Fellowship of which the Pastor is chairman has a different take on its statement of faith:

Quote:
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an experience subsequent to salvation, with the Scriptural evidence; namely, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 10:44-46; Galatians 3:14-15).
The HG is not a subsequent experience. It is not an added benefit. It is an essential part of the New Birth.
