Re: How/when/where were you baptized?
It is nice to hear the testimonies-I've been curious how many of us were born and raised Apostolic/Pentecostal and how many started attending later. I was an adult-never heard of Pentecost until around 1988, and even then, Mom said there were no Pentecostal churches in our area... hmm... we were less than an hour from UPC HQ. My family wasn't very encouraging in my walk with God, but He had a plan and made a way!

Re: How/when/where were you baptized?
How: In the only Name given among men whereby we must be save, in the name of Jesus.
When: Easter Sunday, 1975, at the age of 17, straight from the pit of Catholicism. Got the Holy Ghost on Good Friday, within 10 minutes of walking back to the prayer room (churches sometimes had prayer rooms in the back, rather than altars up front) after an invitation to seek God was made by the evangelist.
Where: Kinder, Louisiana, pastor B. L. Clark, kindest and finest pastor a sinner could ever have known in coming out of this world into the kingdom of God.

Re: How/when/where were you baptized?
November, 1970
Miami, Florida. Pastor: W.H. Dunn. Evangelist: H. H. Phillips
Someone asked if I wanted to be baptized. I didn't even know what baptism was. I was baptized in Jesus' Name. Recieved the Holy Ghost in an RW Schambach meeting in January of the following year.

Re: How/when/where were you baptized?
I believe it was 1967. I was baptized in Fairbanks Alaska in the baptistry of the First United Pentecostal Church by Bro. Shoemaker who later became a UPCI Missionary to Madagascar and then after that a Baptist preacher!

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."

Re: How/when/where were you baptized?
Two Little Boys
After a hardy rainstorm filled all the potholes in the streets and alleys, a young mother watched her two little boys playing in the puddles through her kitchen window... The older of the two, a five year old lad, grabbed his sibling by the back of his head and shoved his face into the water hole.
As the boy recovered and stood laughing and dripping, the mother ran to the yard in a panic. "Why on earth did you do that to your little brother?!" she asked as she shook the older boy in anger.
"We were just playing 'church' mommy," he said.
"I was just baptizing him...in the name of the Father, the Son and in....the hole-he-goes. "
