I attended a "whites only" type of Apostolic Church when I first came to the Lord. I was, sad to say, raised to be racist, even before I got in Church. The church was one of those OneGod, Apostolic Jesus Name, All trinitarians are lost kinds of churches. I prayed and prayed to receive the Holy Ghost but could not pray thru if my life depended on it. RW Schambach came to town and I attended. During the meeting, surrounded by Afro-Americans and Hispanics (whites were in the minority) I recieved the Holy Ghost. It took that to help me to "lay aside the weights" of racial and religious bigotry so I could recieve the promise of the Holy Ghost. Now, I look at all Spirit-filled believers as brothers and sisters in the Lord (without looking at the skin color OR their denominational credentials).
"For by ONE SPIRIT are we ALL Baptized into One Body...."
