    I consider myself Philadelphian

    As with my old countrified granny, who had a heart as large as the great outdoors. They let me sleep on an old cot by the front door in the house pictured below. The house was very small but the way of life enormous. In the front yard down the hill was a garden from which we would eat like...

    In the begging of the 2 minute testimony below a lady describes being anointed in a RW Schambach crusade in which the anointing oil was applied liberally. She then testifies of a healing that took place. The Philadelphian way! I am soul, mind, body, in such teachings! Every hair on my head is...

    The Family Altar is a prayer program, the BBNRadio is a ministry. I have written the BBNRadio and thanked them that they are not overboard "Sardisean" and have supported them financially over $2,700 last year. Impressionable young Christian?

    My First Bible was KJV!

    Brother Glen... My first “foot-warshing” ritual was performed at the Freewill Baptist church, and like Peter, at first I was like, “Leave me out!” Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

    My First Bible was KJV!

    My first bible was an Open Bible KJV presented to me by the First Freewill Baptist Church after spending a year with them teaching Sunday School while I was going to college. I read that bible until the cover fell off and I had to buy another bible. Which was another KJV Open Bible! Oh to go...

    34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And...

If I...
