I here am new
Hello, all! 
I just joined today, after finding a link to this site in a oneness vs. trinitarian discussion somewhere else on the net. I can't even remember where.
I was born and raised Jesus' Name Pentecostal. My Dad pastored several small churches, and my Mom is also a preacher.
I am not called to preach, but I do play bass at church. I learned how playing for my Dad's church when I was 12, almost 30 years ago.
I currently attend First UPC in Heber Springs, my adopted hometown. I was born and raised in the Dallas area.
I was backslid from about age 15 to 30, although I didn't stop attending church until I was 23 or 24.
I have been back in church for over 10 years, although like most, I still battle temptation on a daily basis, and on occasion, stumble, fall, dust myself off, repent, and get back up again.

Welcome, glad you are here.
What part of Dallas, and how long ago was it? I too grew up in Dallas, the Oak Cliff area. Attended Brother Hosch's church.
