So could I get an idea of what's here at AFF and just see what people believe by asking these questions?

1: Do you believe that water baptism must be done in the name of Jesus and that any other baptism is not a valid baptism?

Yes.

2: Do you believe that the infilling of the Holy Ghost is evidenced only by speaking with other tongues?

I believe that tongues are the initial evidence, but not the only evidence.

3: Do you believe these things are absolutely necessary in order to be saved and ready for heaven?

Yes.

4: Do you hold as a core value the basics of traditional pentecostal holiness which is: Men: full length pants, shirts with sleeves, short hair, Women: uncut hair, no makeup, no pants, shirts with sleeves?

I believe in modesty and moderation, but no--I don't agree with every aspect of #4. Probably some of it.

5: Do you believe a trinitarian will go to heaven?

If they've repented of their sins, been baptized in Jesus' name and are filled with the Holy Ghost, and are living a life of faith and obedience, then they have as good a chance as I do. I don't think it's important that people fully understand the Godhead--I do think it's important that they believe Jesus is God.
