    Defining Pentecostal Doctrine

    Yes, with reservations . For some reason this took better with the old WW2 generation. I met many fine people who acquired this gift in a good way. Another thing is sanctification was taught as a prerequisite. You could peer into such souls and find good things.

    Defining Pentecostal Doctrine

    I believe everyone uniquely gets the Holy Spirit, his effect is different in each life, and making tongues a requirement was a mistake. The Apostle Paul asks, Do all speak in tongues? However forbidding it all together is also something Paul said not to do.

    Saved in the great Arminian way

    One plus for Calvinism is in that their membership appears more steadfast. With the Arminian the revival may last a generation. With my old pastor he would have good revivals all summer long and that lasted all through his ministry. I cannot remember the last time I attended a good revival.

    Defining Pentecostal Doctrine

    That would be what I would call Oneness Pentecostalism, the Wesley Pentecostals such as Assembly of God and Pentecostal Holiness do not believe that way. I do not like Oneness Pentecostalism.

    Saved in the great Arminian way

    I believe the original church met daily together. I wouldn't call this going to church one time a week business revival! It is a good thing to schedule a speaker and meet for a series of meetings!
