Our church is only 7 1/2 years old and I believe we have baptized over 1,000 people in Jesus name during that time.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Conception (Repentance) - Life happens at Conception (Salvation)

Sorry to be nitpicky here (lol), but are you saying a person is saved at Repentance? How is that possible when Mark 16:16 says that if you don't believe AND are baptized, you will be damned?

Amen. Actually conception is involved in baptism. We are PLANTED into His death when we are baptized into His death. Rom 6:3-5. A seed and egg conceives in the PLANTING, so to speak, and as you quoted Jesus, it accompanies faith or nothing happens.

What is your understanding of Romans 8:9. It implies that Spirit infilling is also involved or you are not a part of the Kingdom of God, i.e. adopted into the body of Christ?

Rom 8:9....But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
I lean toward seeing spirit infilling as necessary for salvation. But that is a hard question in one sense. So, I am not dogmatic on what that verse is saying. The issue is not about salvation but overcoming fleshliness. So, although he may mention tenets of salvation there, I have to get more of a grasp on that detail.

Thanks. It seems to imply that you could lose the Spirit of Christ if you don't work to overcome the flesh.
