    Does The Doctrine Of OSAS Give License To Sin?

    I worked with three ladies in my factory making samples. These ladies were all Baptist, cheerful, decent, and I would not doubt if they were to tell me they were eternally saved, especially as I don't see it in their character.

    J Vernon McGee on Pentecostalism

    The Apostle Paul himself was not into all that complicated doctrine... 1-2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3...

    J Vernon McGee on Pentecostalism

    I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play And in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets...

    J Vernon McGee on Pentecostalism

    I believe the congregations in Christianity are seven... Ephesus - Messianic - Beginning with the Apostle to the Circumcision, Peter Smyrna - Martyr - Beginning with the Apostle to the Un-Circumcision, Paul Pergamos - Orthodoxy formed in this time...

    Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?

    Many are mixing the party life and the Christian life these days. I questioned one Baptist lady on her worldly way of living and she replies, "are you trying to threaten my salvation?" I think it would be good to encourage people to seek more of the Holy Spirit in this day and time.

    Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?

    If they did receive the Holy Spirit, and the heart grew cold and stony along the way.... Then they went out of the Spirit into the flesh, as happened with the Galatians. Many are calling flesh Spirit these days. Which makes me wonder what happened to the Spirit, if they did indeed receive...
