Response to Evan. Bennicasa:

Brother, I see one major distinction in the folks that I have added to my fellowship, and the ones that you use to refute my statements and is that these folks proclaim the Name of Jesus. So your arguments holding up the magic of these pagan and apostate groups is simply a straw man to distract from the discussion at hand.

The folks that you associate with may be the exception, if that is so, God bless them.

Hey, I raise questions that should cause OP's to consider, and you simply attack me personally, what's with that.

Contrary to your defensiveness, I have no desire to bash OP's, but I do desire to provoke to good works.

O foolish, Americans ".....how are you so soon removed from the simplicity that is in Christ???"

I think a better understanding of that particular scripture would help.

NO, you can make the Bhagavad Gita say anything you want it to say, not the Bible. If one is the student of the Bible they know how to steer clear of the mumbo jumbo.

That may work with all those who daub their tears with the corners of their hanky while they sneer at the conservative Jesus name remission of sins water baptism crowd. I found my way to the cross and through all the issues this was accomplished. So did my wife and others who are dear to me. We are all Apostolic to the bone and loving every minute of it.

You see TB, this is why I cannot grasp what you are trying to say, and this is why we have our discussions fall flat. You sound so whishy, and so denominal vanilla. Then when I make comments about you and Carlton Pearson having parallels, you buck up and proclaim adherence to Acts 2:38 and One God, while waving your PCI flag.

If we are trying to win people let's be a little concerned to what we are winning them to. Doctrine and the move of The Spirit should be paramount.

People are looking for truth in their religion and not drama or puppet shows. People who are looking for the Mallomar church family are really not concerned in doctrine anyway, nor in prayer, fasting, or consecrated lifestyles.



My opinion as to why Christianity is creepy, mysterious, and kooky these days is because it has never really progressed away from the Trinitarian once saved always saved hoo doo voo doo. It still holds on to the water weak puddle shallow domination party line. They might all speak in tongues (so-called) but they are never going any deeper in a relationship with the spiritual. Therefore they are immature and constantly try to gravitate to ecumenicalism. They do that because they see no difference in anyone who calls themselves a "Christians." It is all moving towards McChurch and super size me preachers.

Mormons uphold the name of Jesus; their church is called The Church of Jesus Christ. I brought up the other groups to show that anyone can be in a religion or program and get the same results as you listed. Apostolic One God Jesus Name churches are the best start for anyone who would like to make a spiritual journey. The Jesus name One God people are most devoted individuals in prayer, fasting and Bible reading. Anything else is just trying to go from New York to Florida by way of Toronto to British Columbia, and then down through California. It would be way easier to jump on I-95 and just head south.

CJ, they're not the exception, there is a great number of Apostolic Pentecostals who are so wonderfully exceptional people. They love the Word and are very studious, and are prayer warriors who love God and have the fruit to show.

Attack you personally? If I did it was not intentional; I use to be hard on you CJ, until I understood where you were coming from. One I understood that you were an Inclusionist, I took another position with you. I don't think the Gospel of Inclusion is Biblical, but I can still have a discourse with you and try to understand your belief. I also think you feel that what One God Pentecostals believe is not conducive to what you believe, and therefore you need to help open our eyes. I have no problem with that, just present your case, chapter and verse. Again I'm trying to have a discussion and without making it personal. Also I was pointing out how I felt that you started this thread with some subtle slams, but if you say that was not the case fine. I don't believe that anyone will make heaven their home without Jesus name baptism for the remission of sins, and the in filling of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking with tongues.

Provoke may be closer to the truth?

Yes, One God Pentecostals have more fun than Trinitarians

Where God's presence is, there is His power also. If people are worshipping Him in Spirit & in truth, He will be there and He will do mighty works. We are by no means considered a conservative OP work, but God has been good to us. We have seen miraculous healings, miraculous financial provisions, marriages restored after years of pain, backsliders return, etc. etc. etc. We worship a powerful God and He answers prayers.

Thank, Bro. B. You have a beautiful family, by the way.
Wish I were in Ft. Lauderdale about now for vacation!!! I love that area of the country. We were there a few months ago and spent the last night at the Atlantic right on the ocean at FL Beach. What a great hotel!!
