There was one in my folk's garage, patent dated 1921. I think my brother sold it for a dollar.....

I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't. You might even look like a cop, as many of them shave their heads. Or military.... I used to be really opposed to guys shaving their heads (for women, still am) because of the association with the whole white supremacy - skin-head deal (goatees for the...

I would suggest that, along the same lines as Josh's reasoning, the relative danger of violent death for any certain individual is acutely influenced by what places they commonly find themselves, and also, I would add, if they are alone, or in a group.

How does the "Five-Fold" Gospel compare to the "Four Square" Gospel? Foursquare refers to four aspects of Christ's ministry: Savior, Sanctifier (or in some versions Baptizer), Healer, and King. The "trademark" of the group I was involved with for some thirty years, the...

I've heard the term for decades and Ephesians 4:11 as a reference. Also "Full Gospel" ministry teaching. Where we come from, if Ephesians 4:11 is seen as only during Apostolic times, then our churches would see those as missing the full Gospel. I remember an acquaintance I had for awhile,...

Thank you, OJ. That article is helpful. I see in the article that this terminology is re-emerging in what appears to me to be a blending of the Early Church movement, Evangelical and Charismatic practices.
