I have this to say about all that has been written on this thread.
I
personally have heard Kenneth Haney in his messages say "through all the years since Calvary, there has ALWAYS been a remnant of the early church. Even in the dark ages, there has always been a Jesus Name people... " this is NOT a verbatim quote, but in the context of his message and what/how he was saying - it would seem that he believes there has always been an
Acts 2:38 church..... I have heard him say this on several occasions. (Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have remembered it.) He was my pastor for MANY years.....
