It looks like we were right.

I haven't looked at this thread today and have only caught up to page 5 but wanted to respond to this post before crying myself to sleep at the thought of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid now having bigger majorities and a partner in the White House.

I said back then and say now that you guys are mistaken in your belief that Dan wants to take the church to be a dry Anglican one.

You are confusing him not being a strong Oneness advocate with him being a liturgical Anglican.

He is more "pentecostal" than any of the other pastors that have been at CC the nine years I have been here.

The Anglican group he is ordained with is a charismatic one. He preaches and teaches at length about the need for people to have a supernatural experience with God, etc, etc.

You can legitimately gripe all day long that he is not as strong as you would like on Oneness but L.H. Hardwick gets the same rap because they don't condemn trinitarians to hell or think a different view from the godhead or baptism from the Oneness view is salvational. However it is just flat wrong to intimate DS promotes some sort of formal Anglican worship and style of church. He very much believes in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, etc. Of course he also believes in the fruit of the Spirit which is something not dealt with as much in Pentecostal churches in my experience.

Titus2woman on AFF


"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
