If God wasn't pouring out His Spirit at your church it must have been the racisim he had the problem with... not the doctrine.

Oh I didn't mean to imply people weren't getting the Holy Ghost there or that it was a racist church. By "whites only" I meant only whites attended there at the time. (This was early 70's, South Miami- then, with all the racial tension- thats just the way things were done). I meant I couldn't get the Holy Ghost because of MY racism. And, no, there was nothing wrong with their doctrine (I was just a kid, what did I know about doctrine?). However, I might add this: IF (and, let me repeat, IF) it were a racist church then there would have been something wrong with their doctrine. Something seriously wrong with it. If one harbors racism in his heart, he'd be wrong, whether or not he is baptized correctly. Racial bigotry wasn't my only problem then. My religious bigotry against those who didn't baptize the way I was baptized was wrong as well.
Huh, and I have to ask, could you clarify "monkeyman" for me? Never heard the term.
