May I suggest, instead of focusing on the denomination of the person, focus on the outcome.
I don't think God is keeping a score card of how many souls each denomination brings in. He's keeping a score card of those saved. Humility celebrates the one being saved, arrogance celebrates the one "doing" the saving. (Of course, only the Holy Spirit can save one)
My interest in this thread is not that one denomination is accomplishing something over others. I'm neither Pentecostal or AoG. I celebrate that God is using people to reach others for his kingdom. I celebrate those people allowing God to use them.
While Quix can certainly defend his own remarks, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that his remarks were not actually meant as a means of keeping score for his denomination so much as excitement at seeing others that he identifies with being productive and preaching the Gospel.
It’s much the same way that I feel when I see a Free Will Baptist mentioned; more of an “attaboy” than a “Go us”.
Of course.
However,
the A of G gets a lot of flack on FR and elsewhere as the Pentecostal forerunner, standard bearer, more visible, Jimmy Swagart etc. etc. etc.
The Bible says
HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.
It is fitting, on occasion, to give credit to the A of G when they get it right.
I stand by that post. It’s fitting to applaud, on occasion.
