Oh yes ma'am, I've definitely experienced it the other way. Remember I spent 10 years in COGIC and was frequently told that I was going to hell for that. Most Apostolics I know DO NOT and WILL NOT and HAVE NEVER fellowshipped with trinitarian believers.I definitely know that it happens from both sides. I was just speaking from "my" side. And my point (in that particular post) was that trinitarian scholars are who forced Apostolics to clarify their stance on the "modes." I honestly don't even know where that word "modalism" came from - I'd have to study it. But our core belief is so much more simple than they made it. We just believe that Jesus is God. INDEED. One Apostolic FBF from up north unfriended me because one of her statuses declared boldly that women who wear pants are an abomination to the Lord and will go to hell, along with their painted faces and their big old earrings... she referred to these women as "loose" (direct quote). And she's not even 30 yet! Way too young to be thinking like that. Yeah, there are nuts on both sides.
I grew up more accepting of both sides. Dad's COGIC and Mom's Apostolic. My dad has preached at her home church and other churches, and her cousin who is a pastor has preached at our church. My dad says he learned early on that if you go into a bible believing church and preach the bible and stay away from your opinion or your doctrine, you will never have a problem. And he never did. So if I believe in one God who is triune in nature (like I am btw, body soul and spirit), instead of throwing around words like "Trinity", etc. I can preach from any scripture in the bible, even if it mentions Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and people who believe the bible will say "Amen", be blessed, maybe even shout. But if I go in there talking about what my doctrine says about those scriptures or where I perceive their doctrine as flawed, we're going to have some issues. Ultimately, God is one and the only thing that unites our crazy differences is that we love him, serve him, and have his spirit on the inside. Without that, it'll be all out war.
I don't think we will ever uncover the mysteries of the Godhead. Our minds were not made to comprehend such. I will place this in my file and ask my Lord on that day. I also want to know, "The full story of Enoch and Jabaz."
I thhought this was going to be thread about racism. I personally don't hold Jakes in high regard. I regard him as a person, and he makes good music. But I wouldn't go to hear him speak. =/But, yeah, I thot ths was gonna b about racism. So they don't want I'm as a rother because of oneness? Seems silly to me. There are plenty of better reasons to exlude someone than on te issue of # of Persons.

That's not like Sketch... new phone?
I wasn't thinking new, but you have a point. I figured it was phone-related, though. Either that or broken glasses, typing in the dark/electric bill not paid, or arthritis.
