This really doesn't surprise me ... as a *great uncle* of my wife
was a Oneness Pentecostal minister here in Indiana (many many many many 
many moons ago) .... he not only *stole* his brothers (sibling -not-
spiritual) horse (maybe donkey) and sold it to pad his own pockets, but 
also sold the church and church property without any foreknowledge of 
the local saints and took the proceeds and moved to Florida!  They were
*shocked* when they didn't have a church building to worship in.

Just because someone's been baptised in the Holy Ghost, doesn't mean 
they are a repentant changed person.  You can change by the power of 
the Holy Ghost *IF* you want to.  The Holy Ghost doesn't make anybody
change.
