I guess it all depends on what part of the country you're from. I
remember being somewhat shocked to see my first Oneness
minister NOT wearing a robe.

I would like a copy of this tape please.

Yes, if we equip ourselves to fight the devil instead of each other, a
victory would surely be won! My pastor preached an outstanding 
message several years back, "Where Is The War?"

He was talking about how many saints are equipped for battle, but
do not take the initiative to go out and look for the battle. We sit
idly and passively wait for the battle to come to us, which usually
does not happen. The scripture says that the gates of hell shall not
prevail against the church.

Well, if you think about it, gates do not move. They are only there to 
keep things in or out. If we are supposed to be tearing down the gates
of hell, then we need to go out and attack. Think about it, if you want
to open a gate, do you just stand there and wait for it to come to you?
Of course not, you go to the gate and open it.

It's the same way with the gates of hell...we are supposed to actively
"Attack" the gates of hell, and THEN AND ONLY THEN shall we have
the victory over them!

In downtown Milwaukee, our main street, "Wisconsin Avenue" and
many of the side streets are lined for several blocks with flags representing
different nationalities. On more than one street there are "gay flags" 
lifted high and prominent on the street lights that my taxes help pay for.

Does this mean I should move from Milwaukee?

Hey, this is getting close to HOME!! Is this going to be at Parkway?

I remember listening to a testimony of a minister to the deaf about how he
preached/signed a message to a deaf audience. One of the deaf people,
who had been deaf from birth, came up and was baptized in Jesus' Name.

Well, when she came up out of the water, she started praising God saying
"Thank you Jesus", "Hallelujah", in clear plain English. He just rejoiced
with the woman as she rejoiced, but then it dawned on him that this woman
didn't know how to speak a word of English, and that she was actually
speaking in "other tongues as the Spirit of God gave utterance"

Maybe I've missed it...where does the Bible say that a woman should
have "long" hair?
