The above link will take you to an article that tells how T.D. Jakes has embraced the teaching of the Trinity. For years there has been speculation and talk about him believing in Oneness.

However, he still wishes to fellowship with both camps, something that he may well find is difficult with Oneness Pentecostals who believe it is a matter of salvation. Just as Trinitarians had issues with him when he believed Oneness.

It in part states:

"In addition to wearing skirts, she does not wear makeup or cut her hair – all rules she follows because they are put forth in the Bible.

“We believe that we can’t really improve on what the Lord made us to look like,” says Hughes, who is married to the pastor at Auburn United Pentecostal Church."

Sometimes newspapers really mess up as in the beginning they say the no cutting of a woman's hair is a Pentecostal rule. No, it is not. It is with some Oneness Pentecostals and a few others, but it is certainly not a mainstream Pentecostal belief. {Note: See correction below}

Here is a link where you can watch the movie, Marjoe, in its entirety for free on Google. Some may find it difficult to watch due to the subject matter and scenes from Pentecostal services.

Marjoe was raised as a child to be an evangelist, but was never a Christian. His parents, who had an AOG background, had him memorizing sermons & movements to go with them from the age of 4, I believe. He exposes himself as a fraud in this documentary and also tells how some evangelists & ministers scam people.

To our newer readers, you may be interested in the online support group we operate. The link will take you to a page that tells more about it and how to join. Facebook isn't an avenue where a support group can be operated, though it is helpful in educating people about abuse. If you want a private place to share, read and heal, consider joining the group.
