This is the Gospel but your old pastor teaches that you must be baptized in Jesus name and receive the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues? Yes? No?

More love Jason? For someone who has no beef, you sure know how to mute the reason portion of your soliloquy?

So how much of the Gospel message can be added to and still make heaven your home? Come on, no adding or taking away?
Proverb 30:6 sort of makes it crystal that God doesn't want you putting words in His mouth. So, tell me again, how much of this can you tamper with and still get a "welcome my good and FAITHFUL servant?"

Really? Paul rebuked the Galatians with the word ANATHEMA!
Bro, what did you get yourself into?

Really? Mind telling me what does that look like? Since I'm Captain Caveman you need to spoon feed? Right?

My hope is built on nothing less that Jesus blood and righteousness.

Bro, no one can know what you believe if everything that says Lord Lord will enter into the Kingdom. Also you say your are a preacher, but then tell those in error if they don't see the "truth" you hold they will find out in the end? Jason, they can say the samething back at you. My lands, where did you go?

Really? What does that look like Jason? What does this so called new movement believe? Oh, and please be specific, and detail your answers, so I too may know who they are.

8 years and you already knew more than your pastor, and everyone else around you. Bravo!

Sorry bro, but that is a bunch of baloney.
I don't buy the above since your post to me about the holier than thou haters you outlined for me.
All the above might make you feel good about yourself after you typed it all out and posted. Still your opinion is well noted. You believe the Apostolic Jesus name movement is dying deformity a tumor which needs to be cut out. Or radiated until it shrinks to obscurity. Bro, you are standing akimbo while you believe you are on the cusp of some new movement.
I await your description of this "new" movement, the doctrines, the names, and places where it is found.
