Its funny isn't it... How in my Pentecostal chruch they preached MANY a sermon on AofG and their charismatic ways were sending them straight to the depths of ...
Robin and All: There is understandably a lot of tension between Apostolic Pentecostals and other Pentecostals. And do bear in mind that there are many, many...
To All: It's odd how Fundamentalist Christian attitudes toward Halloween have changed. Yesterday, I was remembering that a tradition in my childhood was an...
Do you know why they burned Cabbage Patch dolls and Rainbow Brites? I remember girl friends of mine in ALJC saying their mothers did this in a primal like...
It doesn't sound too much removed from Apostolic churches. It's amazing how far the two can move away from each other in doctrine, but remain so similar in...
Robin and All: Yes, there are many prefigurations of Christ throughout pre-Christian history and in other cultures. The Hero is an archetype--one who goes into...
Robin and All: Robin said, "Do you know why they burned Cabbage Patch dolls and Rainbow Brites?" The creator of Cabbage Patch Dolls (Xavier something)is...
OK, maybe we've talked about this before, but I'm a bit confused. I thought the word "Apostolic" was almost synonymous with "pentecostal" as far as "oneness"...
Mitsy and All: Yes, sometimes "Pentecostal" is colloquially used to describe Apostolics. But in reality Pentecostalism is not inherently tied to Apostolic...
Mitsy, As far as variances within Apostolic Pentecostalism, I'll leave that explanation to someone who knows those circles well. I don't know to what extent...
Thanks for the newsletter, Jay. It was interseting, amusing, and informative as always. The story about the woman suing the church after sustaining injuries ...
Oh, I felt like such a heathen walking around last night with my kids! One house we stopped at was that of friends of ours (fundamentalists) whose kids don't...
In common usage among Pentecostals, the word "Apostolic" is used to describe those among the Oneness sect. I have recently noticed a few variances -- I saw...
For the most part, all that "quack" Apostolic are Jesus-Only, numerically one Pentecostals. A few hold strict dress codes, but all do not (PAW, for example)....
Well, us "bean-countin'" Pentecostals (you know, if "we can't count Him, we don't believe it!) never did much of the fallin' backwards on command, though a few...
We did that at my ex church like almost 20 years ago. It was quite amuzing! A lot of kids brought music tapes they "weren't supposed to listen to," and ...
Jay and All: I'd never heard of the Charismatic worship style (falling out on command, teaching tongues and dancing) until I was well in my teens and...
I was slain before, but I think it had to do with the fact that I had given blood earlier that day. Karen ... From: Jay <aexapo@...> To:...

Brian; It makes absolute sense to me! I feel the same way -- me and my totally non-Pentecostal self! I've always carried disdain for the "professional ...
To All: Obviously, I disdain the sort of Fundamentalist Charismaticism I've seen. But I have not investigated Catholic or Episcopalian Charismaticism. Has...
To All: I guess the gist of what I saying in the last post is this: Is it just the Pentecostal use of New Testament spiritual gifts that I question, or the...
I personally don't object to "expressive" worship (non-seizure type) as long as it wouldn't seem necessary, or make the practitioner some sort of super-saint;...
... Brian, My journey to AoG Pentecostalism started with Catholic Charismatic movement in 1985-1987. I left the Bible belt in 1984 as a slacker catholic....

Misty and All, This is popular in my area as well as Apostolic Nazarene and there is also a new Aposolic trinity. In my area, very very rural Ohio farming...
Oh I remember the worship style well. I will never forget my first experience at an '0ld School Pentecost' service. I had gone to a very charasmatic small...
Like Jay I don't object to expressive type worship. But, I still think there is a line. I just never read in the Bible where women where shouting their hair...
Oh my. I definately wasn't thinking that at all!!! It seems fundamental Christians don't think rationally do they? There are simple answers for most of their...
Mark; What a beautiful story! Such a contrast to the spectacle "healing" services have become in Pente/Charismania! I've always said, "If anyone ever gets ...
