It's kind of funny how when you make observations on those that don't believe like you it is intelligent and insightful but when I make an observation about beliefs or behavior I think are wrong all of a sudden I have a chip on my shoulder! I assure you I don't.
Anybody who grew up in old time Oneness Pentecost like I did attending Campmeetings, revivals, General Conferences, etc knows that there are red meat catch phrases preacher can use to get a crowd of those folks revved up and in a frenzy. I have personal witnessed this hundreds if not thousands of times. That is not something I made up because of some chip on my shoulder. It is an observation. My comment that this is what I found the majority of the content of LS's sermons to be was also an observation from actually listening to them. Again no chip.
Why not just accept that I have a different point of view than old time Oneness Pentecostals and leave it at that? Why the constant cheap shots? I don't expect you to agree with me but I do expect you to allow me to have my point of view without questioning my motives. Do I try to claim your strange views that deviate from a lot of OP's is due to some chip on your shoulder or anything else? No. I respect that you have your opinion after study, prayer and thought. You have the right to be wrong as much as anybody.

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."
