Religious jealousy is a terrible thing. Anyway...
PH, is this brother going to go be going back to his baptist church for Sunday services or an Apostolic church?

This is the deal, he left the baptist church 1 year ago and had been attending a "new age" apostolic church here in Atlanta. The church has had "a" baptism since he had been there however he felt that since he spoke in tongues thats all that mattered. He also thought that being baptised in the titles was sufficient. Well, it is apparent this brother is NOT being fed in his current church home. While visiting another apostolic church, he came up to me and asked me after church for a ride to the bus stop. I had no problem with that since wayyyyyyy back in the day I too use to take the bus to church and people would pick me up from time to time. It allowed me to start talking to this brother which opened up his story about being baptist, then going to an apostolic church for the last year but being hurt and bruised by this church. Instantly I started asking him basic apostolic doctrine questions to see how much he knew about our faith. He really did not know much and had sooooooooo many questions. (this was like taking candy from a baby......I was so overjoyed because I boast in being an apostolic scholar). What better person to explain the basics of salvation but me (All glory goes to God). We exchanged numbers and I started to witness via phone to him. I then offered to take him to lunch to talk more about Christ. This then lead to him praying for the revelation of the Oneness (which for some reason he felt that Jesus and God was 2 persons and not ONE). Long story short, he was baptised today and now has plans to continue going to a Bible believing Apostolic ministry......
