WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT ABOUT 1800 OR BEFORE. I get a little bothered about saying My church was here in 33 BC. The Assemblies of God established in Hot Springs Ark. in 1914 and was put together by like believing people who were filled with the Spirit and walked with signs following. The tenets of the Faith have not changed since, how many others can say that. Just because it is old does not make it valuable. Being a Church that moves in the Spirit and Bible based is more important than having a tradition. Whee I feel better now. Rev.
