The Difference Between the PCI of the Merger and the Current Counterfeits

I grew up under his ministry and the ministry of those he mentored. I have in the last year talked at length with his son GLG Jr. HE DOESNT KNOW.

I can tell you that he preached the Acts 2:38 message in our church without reservation. But when some PAJC men tried to nail him down asking "Do you believe that a person can go to heaven without the Holy Ghost" his pat answer was "I dont know why anyone would want to go to Heaven without the Holy Ghost"

This is MY heritage. I come from an old PCI church. Coonskinner is dead on.

Your addition in this post proves what the man was saying. While there is so much talk about 'the spirit of the merger' one needs to realize that the factions of that merger were NOT saying, "I'll be a part if you accept Baptists and trinitarian deception as being saved. Oh, and if you want me you have to believe separation is not an issue." (DISCLAIMER: Not all PCI folks believe that way but many present claimers of PCI do.)

An emphatic, NO. The two factions that comprised the 'spirit of the merger' were both seeking God, seeking separation, seeking a promotion of passionate preaching. People lean WAY too heavy on this 'spirit of the merger' without realizing that both factions were practically identical in every way... except the 'one step' / 'three step' thing.

Obviously I agree with your assessment here... and, likewise, believe that CoonBishop is right.

Uhoh... this may be the resurrection of the Posse...
