Was Rosa Parks a member of Greater Grace?

I stand corrected. You know, I was out at IBC back in '98 for a conference and one of the Pastors present affirmed that the "O'Neal Twins" were Apostolic.

I didn't find out until this year that they too were lifelong members of the COGIC. Maybe they were known to believe in baptism in Jesus Name-- anyway....

There's a lot of wrong information out there in Apostolicdom, in terms of "did you know so-and-so is Apostolic?", when they're really not.

Bishop Pearson attended Oral Roberts University, and was mentored by Oral Roberts. He was licensed and ordained in the Church of God in Christ.[2] Pearson formed his own church, Higher Dimensions, which became one of the largest in the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. During the 1990s it grew to an attendance of over 5,000 and in 1997 Pearson was ordained a bishop.

He was NOT nor ever had been Apostolic he was raised COGIC he preached for my Dad and I was invited to lunch with them and we discussed this very subject. He did visit Bishop MacMurray's church(the church Noel Jones pastors). He is Trinitarian. Not meaning to offend anyone but many being listed were NEVER Apostolic.

I thought Mahalia was Baptist...how do you know she was Apostolic?!

The Winans have been reported to have Apostolic roots, however they are COGIC...

As has been said, CP was COGIC. He spoke of being Apostolic on one of the Azuza CDs, but was not referring to doctrine, rather to prophets and apostles...

The Swaggart, Gilley, Lewis clan were AOG...

Toni Braxton's father was a bishop in the COOLJC, I believe...

MC Hammer was baptized...not sure if he became Apostolic at any time thereafter...

Grace Jones, sister of Bishop NJ, was raised Apostolic...

The late Sam Cook (You Send Me) was COOLJC in his yonger days...

Nor sure if James Cleveland was COGIC or Apostolic in his youth...his grandmother raised him, and she was "Sanctified," according to his own report...

Eddie Murphy attended a COOLJC Sunday School...rode the church bus and all that...still finacially supports that church...

Mahalia Jackson was Apostolic.

Medgar Evers spoke at an Apostolic church the night before he was assassinated.

Jim Baker was baptized in Jesus Name, but never a Oneness Believer.

An 80's Gospel artist named Calvin Bridges is Apostolic.

The Winans Family have Apostolic roots.

If Carlton Pearson was Apostolic in the beginning, so was Carman, maybe. Carlton Pearson was his Pastor for about 12 years.

As for Sis. Mangun singing with someone who is not Apostolic, my question is, why NOT?!

Is there something to fear when one of 'us' sings with one of 'them'?!

If we truly believe what we say we believe, that we have a more and perfect way to show them, why NOT go and let them experience anointing, which Sis. MM certainly has?!

This mindset has always amazed me...

Why on earth did Sis. Mickey Mangun record that song with him, associated her name with him, if he wasn't Apostolic, before he started preaching error?

Thank you, 1A...I pop in and read a little almost every day, but have decided, for the most part to give posting a rest.

Nice to be thought of and even missed though...trust you are well.
