And then I hear, "Well, they were coming out of denomintional churches and were not willing or unable to refute their own experiences there." In other words, our Pentecostal pioneers, not wanting to say they were never saved before, made excuses for themselves.

I have to tell you, it is disheartening...very troubling to know that the church history I thought I knew, I did not. It is equally troubling to read that the men I have held in such high regard spoken of with such disdain...just a shrug of the shoulders and a "they never believed it" and then go about our business?!

I don't get this...not at all!!

There have been many complaints about re-writing and/or denying some of our apostolic history. Don't know why anyone would want to do this really. What are they afraid of? (if indeed fear is a factor here).
