I hate Apostolics? Ever heard "thou shall not bear false witness"? Why would I hate a movement I am part of and have suffered more for than many? What IS the Apostolic movement anyway?
Is it a movement that teaches the Oneness message? That baptizes in Jesus name? Preaches sinners must repent and be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost?
If thats it Im a part. But I am even more interested in going all the way with God and his word. Lets not stop where we currently are. Lets MOVE on to more Jesus!
Do I follow Charismatic groups? No I only follow Jesus Christ. I left the Charismatic movement in the 70's. Actually they forced me out because I was preaching
Acts 2:38 salvation. That does not mean I feel there were not Spirit filled people among them. There may be millions of "Charismatics" with the Holy Spirit.
Doctrine wise most are still captive to doctrines of their particular denomination. The Apostolic movement has more truth generally speaking than they have. I never back down from my allegiance to Oneness Pentecostal doctrine.
When it comes to making people doubt the gifts Pentecostals are as guilty as Charismatics. Thankfully I experienced the gifts before I ever came into either one of these movements. I had no reason to doubt supernatual experiences I had with the Lord because they were real. Their validity had nothing to do with what some movement was doing.
Remember it is some among yourselves that started this thread. And why? Because some of these fleshly manifestations hurt Oneness people and truth.
