Folks, you get what you preach.

It's all a matter of emphasis, or lack thereof.

Well Assembly of the Gods are trinitarian anyways and have always fought against oneness doctrine.

Being trinitarian and anti-oneness, I have to believe that the AOG baptize in the titles and not in the name, however, I don't know that for a fact.

Hopefully those who do receive the Holy Ghost and not a spirit, will be lead into all truth and out of the AOG instead of being/staying deceived.

Where in the bible can I find remission at repentance and receiving the Spirit at faith?

However if they preach "You need to be baptized with the Holy Spirit. It's important to live a godly life" etc etc...maybe they will get responces...I mean they do have SOME receiving the gift....why?

Because "making a decision for Christ" is not always the same as repentance.

The good news is that you can receive God's Spirit indwelling on credit prior to being properly dunked ... of course only if you have the right verbal passwords.

Can we say DISRESPECTFUL or Dan just being Dan?

let's start with remission at repentance.

Mark 1:4
And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

The focus of Crabtree's quotes dealt with discipleship as is their new "fangled" thrust in correcting a real issue throughout all of Christendom.

He in no way stated his org is not Pentecostal ... and if you read that into his statements ... and the GS's then .... you can't read.

I can almost guarantee the UPCI's discipleship is just as lacking.

I'd love to see stats on retention ... they're probably as solid as the minister retention rate.

For years, we get them thru the "rebirth" process and how many to we keep??? Be honest.

What's the difference ... so you get them to step 3 ... are we now becoming ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED???

I remember we had a spell of baptizing over 100 folks a year ... for almost 4 or 5 years at Dad's ...

and you know how many we kept ??????

Just as little.

The spin works both ways.

Next.

What are the stats on those in the UPC being baptized in the Holy Spirit and in Jesus name?
