Who here has debated Campbellites?

I have never debated the Campbellites. If by this you are referring to the Disciples of Christ or Christian Church, I was once invited to go to the one in my hometown and tell them about Oneness Pentecost for a series they were having about different denominations. After some genealogical research, I later learned that the church I spoke at had been actually founded by my great-great-great grandfather, who was a relative of Alexander Campbell himself. If I remember correctly, the Campbell-Stone movement had its roots in the Cane Ridge revivals of the early 1800s when a great move of God occurred. The beliefs of the modern denomination do not remotely resemble the refreshing touch of God some of my relatives and others such as Abraham Lincoln's parents experienced a century before Azusa Street. I can't tell you how thankful I am the winds of refreshing are still blowing today. The denomination is classic example of a movement that preserves the organizational structure but has moved far, far away from the actual living touch of God being present in its services. (IMHO)
