Expertise

I can answer questions dealing with topics such as the Pentecostal experience and its function and purpose in the Church and the believer's life. I can also address questions on general as well as specific Church doctrines.

Experience in the area

I am an ordained minister and an Evangelist. I pastored local congregations for 15 years. I have served as a fire department chaplain, and taught in Bible colleges.

Education/Credentials

I hold a Ph.D. in Biblical Counseling and a Doctor of Biblical Studies.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

There are two main divisions among Pentecostals: Trinitarians and Oneness. The Oneness doctrine denies the Trinity of God and was identified as a heretical teaching in the 3rd Century. Trinitarians believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit like most Evangelicals. I am a Trinitarian.
