Ofcourse, that is not to say divisions would not still rise among each group.

Are we ever gonna see eye to eye?! I think not.
Two people read 1 John 5:7 - They arrive at entirely different conclusions
Two people read Matt 28:19 - They arrive at entirely different conclusions
Two people read Acts 2:38 - They arrive at entirely different conclusions
Two people read 1 Tim 2:9-10 - They arrive at entirely different conclusions
And the list goes on...
Well, as for me...
Mark 9
(38) And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. (39) But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. (40) For he that is not against us is on our part.
Phil 2:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice . |
Bro. Goss was very clear when he spoke to the students at the Bible School in Stockton, CA that he was saved prior to his water and Spirit baptisms. He believed that Baptists would be in the Bride of Christ and in the Rapture.
Today we are presented with a "revisionist history" that "all" Apostolics believe water and Spirit baptisms equal the new birth but that is not actually true. For years Apostolics believed and preached that salvation took place in a person's life prior to and separate from water and Spirit baptism. Later, some began to preach the water and Spirit doctrine and now it has become very commonplace in the UPC and we act like it's the only legitimate Apostolic message.
