So sorry for your loss Shawn, and sorry that I brought this subject up! You never know who has been touched by something like this. I don't think God wants us to sit in judgement, but stand in love and help hold those who are hurting with compassion. It seems to me that Apostolic & Pentecostals are too quick to proclaim judgement on such cases. Now I know that's a broad brush statement, but I have been around and know what I'm talking about in this matter.
Sometimes life's situations can change "our doctrine" so quick. Knew a preacher in Louisiana who was death on divorce and remarriage until his wife left him!!!!
God speed to you Shawn!
