In Jesus Name

[ManOfWord]

Fudge was on target and on point with what he wrote. The title was on target as well. Fudge did not say the blood was not preached by all. He brought out a particular view from particular folks and addressed an issue that needed and still needs to be addressed from time to time. We have addressed it here on this forum as well and when the subject comes up, people storm off and walk away without intelligent dialogue!

Some DO preach Christianity without the cross and some DO put more emphasis on Jesus' name than they do on Jesus' person.

I talked to Fudge as well and was interviewed by him and cited in his book. I have "In Jesus' Name." I just have not waded into it yet. I am anticipating a good read.

I ordered a copy and got the wrong book.
I've since returned it and re-ordered "In Jesus Name."
I hope I get the right one this time.

Eld. Epley,
I've mentioned before that I consider you a real historian on the Apostolic/Pentecostal movement. I've also stated that I wish you could commit some of your vast knowledge to paper or some media in order to share your knowledge and insight.

But if he did so, would his work be scholarly, or a matter-of-fact history document, or a collection of biographies?

Any of which would be interesting to read.


Elder Epley,
If you were to put a book together, what would be your format?

I do not believe I am skilled to write a book. I love history about the American Jesus Name movement and read everything I can about it. I have been asked for years to do that but I feel unqualified not in information but in ability. My memory is good and I have come into personal contact with most schisms in the movement so my experience it unique I guess and I would love too but I can't see me doing it. Thanks though.

Maybe you should collaborate with someone then.

Maybe even do an oral recording of the history you know.




BTW
You're welcome Sir.

I've suggested that he write more of an informal history, maybe a collection or memories and biographies. I've suggested he write a monthly column in an Apostolic magazine and then those could be collected into what would become a book. We have scholarly books with footnotes like "United We Stand" and "Christianity Without The Cross" and others. Bro. Epley could furnish memories, anecdotes, etc from a long and varied ministry. He has experience with Bro. Jimmy Russell, a real man of God, in western KY. He has experience with the Rambos. He has experience with various doctrines which he has encountered through the years like Branhamism, prosperity gospel, never die, spiritual wife, manifestation of the sons of God, latter rain, and others. He is a man of strong convictions and plain speech, but fellowships (not on his platform or in his church when he pastored) with some who do not agree with him on everything.

I have been asked for years to write about the humorous stuff I have witnessed in Pentecost I have volumes of funny stories I witnessed personally. I have thought about doing that one.

You could just tape it all into a recorder, just talk, and then have someone else put it into book form. Just the audio version would be priceless.

Both the books that Bro Epley mentions writing-one of the history of OP and one of the humourous incidents-would be wonderful to read.
