Wow. I thought my Dad was the only person who used that word.

Dingbats (that's what my Dad called them ) that never were Home Mission pastors, never pastored a church, never evangelized a day in their life, never counseled a distraught saint, never drove a hundred miles in bad weather to visit a dying saint in a hospital, never stood in the pulpit and try to feed peoples soul, never canceled a vacation (looking in the eyes of his disappointed children) because a saint has a tragedy and needed their pastor close by, never researched a subject and preached a sermon on that subject in their life, never had to tell a wife that her husband was killed in an accident, never walked into a business and had the manager dress him down about a lowlife bill beating church member, never had to sit a man down and tell him his wife has been committing adultery with his best friend, never had to listen to disgruntled folks that said they were leaving the church and yet those same dingbats THINK they can sit in judgment on any and all preachers.
You don't have a clue, but one day real soon you will.
Can someone tell me if this is even worth reading??

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves

Some of it is! Some of it isn't!
