Tommy Bates has preached some in our area. I believe he is either AG or similar. He is a highly respected speaker among various pentecostal groups in north Alabama.

Your flyer on proves that he is speaking at a COG event, although you still may be right. He could be none licensed COG.

This link says nothing of COG being in his history that I can find.

Neither is he listed as licensed with the COG at their International Website.

Bates is not COG. He can be seen at many COG events (Winterfest in 2007), but he is the pastor of a Pentecostal church - independent I believe. Check the link:

Yes, he is at about all the CoG campmeetings that I know of.
The full name of the church he is at is, Community Pentecostal Church of God.

T.B. is not CoG, I did some checking to be sure. He is an independant as someone had stated, his church does have CoG in the name though.
