My Former A/G Pastor Disappointed w/ My Decision
I told my former A/G Pastor this morning after service that I was "homesick" and that I was going to return to my UPCI church in Apopka.
His facial expression as he briefly went through the theological differences that we both share with the UPCI was one of disappointment.
The theological differences I have with the UPCI are real, but in the end, I really do miss my old church and my old Pastor.
I think I made the right decision for me right now.

Re: My Former A/G Pastor Disappointed w/ My Decisi
I am sure you will be thrilled to be "back home" and will absolutely love it!
Is it Pastor Williams church you are returning to?

"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."

Hmm, you echo "Right Pastor,' but I wonder if this is the one you are choosing, @ 'old.' Best of luck there.

1) the doctrine of the trinity and 2) water baptism calling on the name of the Lord and 3) the doctrine of subsequence.

This is a hard journey Jermyn. I wish you the best, but your not done running. Its hard to sit someplace under teaching that you don't believe.
What do you do when the tongue is done and the emotionalism has settled???

Re: My Former A/G Pastor Disappointed w/ My Decisi
May GOD direct your path, Jermym, as you go back. The word "homesick" caught my attention. If you had never been "home", you would not be "homesick". On the journey away from home, the prodical son had not yet "come to himself. After he came to himself, (after the pig pen experience), he set his sights on "home".
Blessings!

believes in the Trinity or it is not a salvation issue?
doesn't matter what is called over the recipient or baptism is not a salvational issue?

Re: My Former A/G Pastor Disappointed w/ My Decisi
Be sure you don't fall in the trap of thinking that oneness pentecostals are the beginning and the end of the Church of the Living God on the earth. Be sure you recognize that most of the body of Christ aren't oneness pentecostals.
If you do that, I doubt you'll stay 'home' very long for home is where the heart is and a Christian's heart is with the entire body of Christ, not just a relatively tiny few which trace their beginnings to a camp meeting in Los Angeles in 1913.
