Its just Sis Veniece minus all that theology disagreements. Its good to read about what was happening then and the excitement and zeal that these people have during that time (I read a biography about Leslie Wise). Apparently it was a sad situation that there were so many religious fights then (so to speak), but on the day of Pentecost, **my bible** told me that they (the apostles and any other believers that were present) were all in **one accord**. When Peter stood up and preach to the people Jesus and what they need to do to be saved, because of one accord, no one contrary stood up and declare any other way or denounce Peter's message. They were all there with Jesus and had experienced a personal relationship with him. He was the Holy Ghost in the flesh, now we have the Holy Ghost in us. Our relationship with Him should be the same as it was with the deciples in that day*. Jesus in the spirit is not limited to only one place, as He was in the flesh with the deciples. !

Why do we believe and have debates amongst each, because we think that God was only limited to the early part of the century and in the USA, maybe if we try to read other stories of people outside the country we would be surprised, of what we would find. That the ominpresent God, was also doing a work before what He was doing the USA or at the same time, in other countries...these people in other countries as also apostolics...could it be that God also reveal to the also the oneness without the actual bible..but by His Spirit??? Look what happen to Paul? This is why my teaching are from the Bible as the spirit open my understanding not from the experience of the preachers during the merging of these two churches to UPCI. Its obvious that we are still experiencing the differences up to this day. I have not taken up this baggage on my head, and I will not. I will have to know Jesus for myself nor will I boast or feel good of myself of the understanding that I have receive!
