Wouldn't It Be Interesting...?
 
...if every member of AFF who's ever started a thread or responded to one all gathered for a church service under one roof?

Can you imagine what the atmosphere would be like, especially considering how wide the pendulum of beliefs swings on here?

Post away my friends!!!

But just think of how much charity would be manifest! NOT!!! If the same atmosphere was present there that is present sometimes on AFF there would probably be a "fist-a-cuff!" Some would be proclaiming the awesome Grace of God and others would be screaming "you're all going to Hell!" And there might be someone saying "two boys kissing have more of a chance of going to Heaven than you liberals!"

I do believe that people would get along better for the most apart if we were to all meet face to face. Now I do see SOME exceptions with certain individuals that come to mind who showed zero Christian character while knowing all 10 thousand points of the apostolic law.

I for one could do that... No problem.

I think it would make the Ringling Bros & Barnum Bailey's Circus look terrible yet still fascinating to watch everybody...that, of course, is based solely on threads/posts I've seen.

I agree that people probably act a whole lot more civilized in person. Text is so hard to decipher as opposed to vocals, which for me is all the more imporant that we type carefully and with tactfullness...

This is true. You will always have a better relationship with someone if you can spend some face time with them. It's why businesses spend lots of money shuttling people all over the world to meet others.

Would all of us when a repentant sinner finishes encourage to get Baptized immediatly, pray with them till they received the Holy Ghost speaking with tongues or would some pat on the back and rejoice while the others continued to pray for them.

Folks we need balance, not extremes!

I can get along with most people. I don't like mean people at all. And have no problem telling them so.

maybe our topic could be missions if we find a male speaker...ha...no, some think it is wrong to receive offerings from people that differ from them...so we have another problem...we could speak on love but you know they would say that's what Charismatic's preach...
Oh, my this hot sun has affected my thinking....

I wish we could all focus on the most important thing...JESUS...and be friends...I am old enough to know we may not see things alike but we can be friends.

Okay, let's take it one step further (hopefully this will not spawn any debates). Let's imagine for a little while...

1) Would there be a modern-day church building, as in one with a sign out front?

2) If so, who would be the pastor? What would our worship service consist of, like what style and with what songs? Would we have a choir? Would we have multiple ministries (Sunday school, youth, young peeps, seniors, prison, homeless, life groups, etc)?

I'm thinking of naming it AFF Interdenominational Church...
