Welcome to Our Pentecostal Heritage. It seems that, since the early days of the 20th Centry Pentecostal Movement, the movement has gone off in different directions. And it seems that the trend is continuing. This is, in and of itself, a good thing, I suppose, in that message of Pentecostalism is spreading around the world just as Jesus intended.
But, what is the Pentecostal Message? That depends on who you talk to. Or who you listen to. Chances are, if you speak to two or more people, you'll hear two different things. And, I'll probably be one of those voices speaking something you may. may not have, heard. You may agree or disagree with what I have to say. You'll read some standard Pentecostal fare... and you may read things that are... well, different. And maybe...just maybe... you'll learn something along the way.
Who am I? is the first question you might ask. Well, that doesn't really matter. I'm just a man who is trying to find his way through this world of chaos and confusion. I was a preacher at one time. I was saved, baptized in Jesus' Name and filled with the Holy Ghost at a young age.
Now the labels begin. Am I Oneness? Apostolic? Just call me a Christian. I don't care for labels too much. But, if you are really dying to know what I believe, just keep reading. But, let me say this... WHAT I believe isn't nearly important as WHO I believe. I believe the Lord. I trust His leadership... I trust His Word.
The entire premise of this blog is based on Pauls words: "For by ONE SPIRIT are we all baptized into ONE BODY". As my name implies, I believe in the unity of the Body of Christ. Note I did not say "denomination" or "organization". I said BODY. His Body. The Lord's Body- a group of people, plucked out of the darkness of the world, redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb. The Church of the Living God. Want to know more? Keep reading. I'll be posting on occasion. And I look forward to your comments. Oh, and if you are looking to debate or fuss and argue...don't bother. I don't debate. I'm not trying to convert anyone...just postin' my thoughts. God bless you...in Jesus' Name!

I noticed the pic "In memory of Evangelist Bowman. Isn't he the evangelist who was killed in Louisiana in the early eighties?
I too, have a Pentecostal heritage. My mom received the Holy Ghost in 1941 in the little town of Porterdale Ga. before I was born. My dad was an alcoholic who hated her new faith so life was not the greatest for us children. God was so very merciful to me throughout my life even when I chose not to serve him early on. God bless.
