I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong, especially when what I'm wrong about is something like the disturbing news I shared regarding the alleged schism in the Assemblies of God. General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, George Wood, sent me an email to set the record straight, with a well deserved admonishment to double check facts before reporting a story such as that. My apologies to my readers. While I did do some double checking with local contacts on this account, it was my error for not allow the A/G Headquarters to respond directly to what my sources were accusing. According the Superintendent Wood, "Nothing could be further from the truth. There has never been a resolution to change our views on these matters; and if there were, they would be resoundingly defeated."
In all honesty, I've never been more happy to be wrong. As I said in my previous post, I'm no longer a member of the Assemblies of God, but I actually have a copy of the 16 fundamental truths in my house, and hold the positions taken by the Assemblies of God as a standard to judge my own beliefs by, after the Bible of course. While many churches are being swayed by the false doctrines of the seeker-sensitive movement, I'm very happy to see that it hasn't affected the doctrines of at least one denomination.

Nah...I don't think that many people read it in general. You know what they say, Bad news runs around the world before Good News gets its shoe laces tied. That post was read far more than normal.
