This thread has nothing to do with that tired, old, moth-eaten topic.

This thread is about the AOG Assistant General Superintendent claiming that his organization is decreasingly Pentecostal. So much so, that he is not sure that the AOG will even be a Pentecostal org within ten years.

His concerns, as reported to the AOG General Conference voting constituency, were that the AOG does not emphasize patently Pentecostal distinctives.

Those distinctives, in his mind, were water baptisms and Holy Spirit baptisms.

Note that the conference took IMMEDIATE action. That action involved discipleship that focused on these two distinctives.

Now, contrast that to the obvious disdain for water baptism and Holy Ghost baptism on the part of Daniel and Baron.

See the contrast?

The AOG is decreasingly Pentecostal and is alarmed.

Daniel and Baron aren't even in the same zip code as Pentecostal, and ask everyone else to join them in celebration.

Revealing.

Beautiful post, Pastor Poster.

Great writing, Pastor Poster!

Good job, Pastor Poster.

You have yet to answer the question...

Does God forgive your sins at repentance?

Initial forgiveness is at baptism. It involves a Spiritual circumcision in which the body of sins is totally removed, blotted out, washed away. After this initial remission any further forgiveness is upon confession and repentance with the blood washing away the new sins.

Pay real close attention, don't change the question don't answer another one.

Does God forgive our sins when we ask forgiveness in repentance?

He writes well enough now if we could just get him to think.

Good job, Pastor Poster.

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

Good post, PP!
