They are proud of their identity and wear it as a badge of honor.
3. Those who really love God, study His Word, and realize that Water/Spirit doctrine and standards are man-made traditions...errors, but also love the Apostolic movement. They are conflicted because they have a high view of the Word and a love for the movement.
In their case, something has to give. Some choose tradition over truth. Others choose truth over tradition.
You fall in Group #2.
Can't be bothered to examine scripture.
Satisfied with your heritage.
Closed to truth.

I love this Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal TRUTH.
My great grandfather was a Baptist preacher, I have three cousins who are Baptist preacher.
I could have easily followed their tradition but chose to study the Word of god for myself. And found that it did not teach what they believed but instead taught what I now believe.
I still study the Word of God daily and pray and fast. I see every thing we teach and the principles for what we teach.
I do attend conf and meetings with like minded men. I go where I know truth is proclaimed. Not going somewhere where the preachers are carnal and worldly an the women look like Jezebels.
