3. The numbers do not seem out of line with what I observed.
4. We had people who attend our church receive the Holy Ghost for the first time in this service.
5. I fully believe that the impact of what took place in this service will be seen in the natural and spiritual realm in my city.

Feel free to crucify me for my observations
Thanks Bro. This is exactly what I suggested earlier happened. Houston is a large city and surrounded by many others. There are not only many churches IN houston but many others around the area that drove to that service no doubt with people from their church that were needing the baptism or just with invitees

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Thank you, Stew. Your observations are accurate. I was unable to attend, but my pastor and his wife were there. They said the whole place was made an altar and people were praying for each other all over the building. They confirmed what you said, "many unsaved people" were present. They witnessed a homeless person receive the Holy Ghost (no doubt the same scenario was happening all over the building). The Toyota Center was allowing them to stay overnight and so many homeless were in the building. One homeless man was shaking so hard. My pastor's wife said, "It's real!" He looked at her with huge eyes and said, "I know!" Awesome!

It was totally a beautiful and remarkable move of God! I give Him all the glory and praise!!!
