I've been asked NOT to speak in tongues at this event!

Ok, but if we reciprocated and asked the Baptist guy to speak in our pulpit, he would have enough sense to know to preach on the 90 % that we agree on and not to preach on eternal security or something that he knows we would not want, out of respect.

Respect is the key...we can gain much when we learn respect.

Well some of us would never have a Baptist, Methodist, AOG or any trinitians in our pulpits. There are so called oneness people that I wouldn't have preach.

If they love Jesus and call Him Lord and will not preach anything controversial, then they can't hurt your people. Why are we so afraid of those that we don't completely agree with? I just don't understand it.

Why are they so afraid of tongue talkers?

I'm not going to put a sinner in the pulpit.

And you couldn't grace their pulpits. Sad, indeed. If given a chance to open dialogue with the Baptists, the doors would be closed very soon. You would lose a great opportunity to be a witness to a congregation full of "sinners."

I would preach to them, but I would be Pentecostal while doing it.

Allow us to speak of 'hypothetics.' If given the opportunity to address a Baptist congregation, what would you preach to them?

Standards??

SINNER??? You've got to be kidding. They aren't sinners if they have come to Jesus in faith and their lives have been turned around. They may not know all they need to know, but they aren't sinners just because they don't come from oneness Pentecostalism.
