    The time to move on is when the COG changes the declaration of faith to eliminate the word “subsequent” and have sanctification simultaneous with justification and regeneration.

  2. Larkin Self, you sure seem to be rough on Charles Page. I don’t think I have ever read a positive statement yet.

  3. Charles, where are you getting this type of info? I really enjoy them. I always save them into my pc. Thanks again.

    Charles & I are from the old school. But THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US IS I DO NOT RANT & RAVE ABOUT MY FRUSTRATION CONCERNING THINGS I CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT ON FACEBOOK. YOU CAN’T RELIVE YOUR PAST & LIVE IN THIS PRESENT TIME. YOU CAN’T LIVE YOUR LIFE ON HAS BEEN EXPERIENCES BUT YOU CAN TRY TO LEARN FROM THEM. I’M A RETIRED ORDAINED MINISTER. PEOPLE SAY THE CHURCH HAS CHANGED. BUT THE CHURCH HAS NOT CHANGED. THE PEOPLE HAVE CHANGED. We lost A LOT of good people WITH man made ideals. I know from experience. The church that I attended turn my father & mother out of The church for visiting another church where a very dear friend of my father’s that was running a revival. My mom was brought before the Church by dear OLD saints of God cutting me some bangs when I was a child. These are not the only things happen ed in my family. But I plastered them on Facebook for the world to see. When I met my husband (he was a ORDAINED minister in the Church of God) I had issues. But the people not the Church love me; counseled with me & totally won & loved ME back to the Church. Man made ideals might have started out with good intentions but they also drove hundreds away. Why do I pick on Charles–I AM NOT!!!!! But he needs to realize that life is moving on & he is STUCK in the past. I guess he has his good points . HE IS STILL ALIVE. DONT JUDGE ME UNLESS YOU KNOW ME OR HAVE WALKED IN MY SHOES. When I was called in the ministry I was the first woman in ALABAMA to hold Christian Education & Music license. This was the era of the good old boys club. I have earned that right to try & help my peers to move on. Life is short. Leave a good legacy not of unsatisfaction but one full of love & hope. So don’t judge me. You don’t have that right. Wanda Self
