Yeah, let's not go there.

Whether we agree with him on the one-step/three-step view or not, in my opinion, Bro. Drost was a great man of God. He accomplished a lot for the Kingdom. He was instrumental in bringing people to salvation in several countries in South America and in Spain. I'm sure he has a great reward.

yes, Sam I honor him and all the missionaies that have led the way...

They just believed a person was justified/saved/regenerated at repentance and subsequently got baptized in Jesus' Name and received the Holy Ghost Baptism.

I thank God Almighty for His precious truth!

I never knew Bro. Drost personally. He was always a legend in our area, of course, being from our district.

I've heard many wonderful things about him but it seems that one of the most outstanding was his personal soulwinning ability. He'd talk to anyone anywhere - and he did. And he led many many people to God as a result of his personal witness - whether he was sitting next to someone on a bus, talking to them on a bench in the park, wherever.

I believe this church was started from The PCI wing in Canada.

What you showed from the infamous Fudge book about Bro. Drost being a strong water and Spirit person early on does not seem to agree with something in his biography, "Bill Drost the Pentecost." On pages 22 and 23 he tells about going to the "Holy Roller" meeting, going to the altar, and leaving completely changed. I guess he was around 11 years old. Over the next few months he read the New Testament through 17 times. Then he went to a service on New Years Eve and went to the altar. He got up to leave because he didn't like the way people were touching him; messing up his hair; putting their hands on his head, his shoulder and back; patting him and tapping him. He felt like they were tearing him to pieces. They pushed him,spit on him, and stood over him and hollered. When he received a promise from a friend that they would leave him alone he went back to the altar.

Here is how he describes what happened:
He went back and knelt in prayer, bringing his thoughts again to the words, "Behold I send the promise of the Father upon you." The words became more meaningful to him, bigger, brighter . . . He began to feel a cloud of love and power come upon him . . . envelope him . . . enter into him. He became suffused with it --one with it. The warmth, the intoxicating joy, the Presence, welled up within him, taking charge of him and freeing him at the same time. Higher and higher it came-- now from deep within his being-- into his belly, his throat, his head, his tongue! And from the tongue flowed a beautiful river of praises he had never voiced before. Words rejoicing, words powerful, words victorious --they bubbled, they flowed, they gushed forth in torrents he could not stop-- and wouldn't want to. But though he did not know the meaning of the words,d he knew the feeling of them: they felt like primeval words, words of creation, God's word! And they were wonderful. But for him they were too precious, too hallowed, to be shouted. If he could not control the flow, he could the volume. He whispered in tongues. Caught away in the Presence, lost in eternity, he whispered the words on and on.
Coming back into time, he was amazed to find it was four a.m.

Laer Bro. Steeves took him down to the river at Newcastle Bridge and baptized him in Jesus' name.

That is from pages 25 to 28 of the book.

bump.......
yes Bill Drost taught saved at repentence BUT to say he didn't preach Acts 2:38 wouldn't be accurate, either.....

he believed that salvation starts at repentence
