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...."
I attend an Apostolic, One God, Jesus Name, predominately white (our drummer and song leader is black and our choir director is a monekyman) church in the heart of a predominately white provice.... and people are getting the Holy Ghost left and right here...
If God wasn't pouring out His Spirit at your church it must have been the racisim he had the problem with... not the doctrine.
