I didn't think you would disagree. Like I posted, on your site you have information on both sides of the fence.
The One God Truth and the Trinitarians trying to refute.

I don't think you understood what I posted. What I was saying is the atheists run neck and neck with the spiritual abuse crew who post that Apostolic Pentecostal preachers are dictators. So, I see it as just ducking the bullets that are fired from Trinitarians, Ex-One God, Atheists, New Agers, or cranky types who have lots of time on their hands.
I told a room of preachers that if what we have is the Gospel Truth then 50 tons of dynamite can’t blow it out of a person. People need the Holy Ghost and a prayer life, but most of all they need to study and ask questions when they don't understand. They also need to know how defend themselves with what they have learned from the Word.

That is the worst aspect of spiritual abuse- and, unfortunately, some never do return to following God.

The above happens when they put more stock into man then the SCRIPTURES.
Also where is the Holy Ghost in all of this? My wife and I would of been dead if we didn't have the power of the living God, and the Word.
How many people are even taught the scriptures? How many are taught to use a concordance, lexicon, or even a dictionary. How many are taught that they MUST ASK QUESTIONS! Offence comes when a child is young, and as that child grows, if you don't deal with that offence early, you will have a problem in the future.
Now don't get me wrong. there are "some" individuals who think they have "Divine Right of Kings" and cause people to go under the lash, but if people are hungry and wanting truth more than religion they will not only survive they will lead others out, and be able to stick with the Apostolic Faith, but leave the wreckage behind.
