I have to admit to hearing my dad say that at times growing up, but in my short stay or an acting preacher, I must say, I don’t think I ever used that phrase, it was hard enough to follow my wild outlines.Now I mighta used that if I could have had some ‘teleprompters’ to keep me on course. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
We also had Altar Workers. I was one of them. We would pray seekers through to old-time Salvation, Sanctification or the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. What a blessed time that was. And Oh, how God would move in those altars.
Question? If I wrote a similar article, and called it “the old white church”. would still have been a “good article”? I’m turned off by the obvious “racism” in the title. Something is out of whack here.
I am unsure as to how you got your info, but I wish to say that the CoGinChrist under C H Mason were fully established a good while before the A/G met in Hot Springs. In fact, the group that later formed the A/G were actually affiliated with the CoGinChrist on two separate occasions, but only inasmuch that Mason gave them ministerial credentials, and which the up-coming A/G people did not fellowship with the CoGinChrist due to their being black. It was at that time the CoG & A/G were both segregationist. In fact, it is a known fact that it was only Evangelist A A Allen who preached that people of all colors were all the children of God. ABC & PBS ran special programs declaring this very fact. It was only in recent times that the A/G made strides with the CoGinChrist. Furthermore, Mason and his CoGinChrist came from the Holiness Movement. They did not come out of the Baptist as the A/G did. So there was a definite difference on the doctrine of Sanctification. The CoGinChrist ate like the CoG as such. And it must be remembered that there was a great divide between the initial A/G and the rest of the Pentecostal churches due to the difference of Sanctification.
official! I didn’t think anyone would ask!
Well is it, or isn’t it?
segregation is alive and well in the Church of God. It is official.
Okay. I’m cool with that. But let me ask you this. Do they have a “white ministries department”? What about Hispanics, or Israelis? Arab’s maybe?
if there is a black ministries department then naturally there is a white ministries department.
There really needs to be an Israel ministries department as well as an Arab ministries department. Hispanic department is almost there.
Does the “white ministries department” have a specific designation as such, with a similar pictorial logo as above?
This was the old logo
Thank you. But that makes no reference to “race”.
So do they have a “white ministries department” specifically called such, with a similar picture/logo as at the tope of this forum?
Well?
This is heart breaking. I love so many people, black, white, whatever, in the COG. To see such as this being promoted as “church sanction”, is very sad to witness. We need to pray.
The Assembly Of God also have a black ministries department.
The black ministries share the same logo as the white church. Naturally I am speaking tongue -n-cheek!
