If it's so clear in the Bible, why did this escape the attention of everyone for 1700 years of the church's 2000 year existence?

I don't know. I just read it in Acts, supported in the Epistles and I believed it. Silly me!

Sorry, I reverted to redneck.
You made this statement a couple of posts ago....
"Your assertion of the Bible being "complete" is a bit lacking, IMHO. There is scant mention of which of Noah's sons were the ancestors of the Polynesians. It's like the ancient Hebrews were completely unaware of the existence of Polynesians. The enormously populous races of the Chinese and the inhabitants of the Subcontinent of India are MIA as well. "
What are you talking about?

Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
Zero times., I didn't have to ask, HE merely kept HIS word, and infilled me with it as I slept..during an especially critical time, when I needed it most., HE is AWESOMEly FAITHFUL!

Well, Pel - no. It's because He uses me and I am sensitive to His spirit, so I don't have a problem with it. It's because what He does in my life now, He did in the NT. So, I know there is no chain broken.
One time I made a huge mistake that could have destroyed my life and every day, He came to me and loved me out of it. Every day, He would not let me go. I didn't know that He loved me that much. I mean, I repented, was baptized, filled with His Spirit and lived a Christian life for years. And then one day, everything around me started tanking and I was tired. I was so tired of everything, I made a mistake because I didn't have the strength to keep walking, but He rescued me. I owe Him my very life. Aside from being filled with His Spirit and talking to Him through the years, He was more real to me during that time than ever. I didn't know Him on that level. I could still cry about it!
Anyway, gotta run. Enjoyed it you ol' cuss!

Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
If one was on a deserted island, with nothing but the bible, and never knew anything else about God, and they learned from the bible how to be saved... then what? Could they do it? Would they require history to be saved? Go figure.

This isn't about a deserted island and this isn't about requiring history to be saved, this is about the fact that the oneness Pentecostals cannot find the church of the Living God during the 1800's, a relatively recent century.
Why can't the church of the Living God be found in the 1800's? Why can it suddenly be found, slowly, after 1913?

According to the doctrine of some on AFF, if one was on a deserted island, with nothing but the bible, and never knew anything else about God, and they learned from the bible how to be saved, ....... then they couldn't get saved because there was no one there to do the second step of the three step plan!
Just saying.....
