Such men trouble you. Paul said that he would that they were CUT OFF. But Jesus said, "Peace give I unto you, not as the world gives, give I, but my peace. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither be afraid."

Well, Apprehended, you obviously are in disagreement with my belief that it was a matter of 'you've pushed me far enough; I'm not being pushed any further.' I genuinely believe it and will continue to believe it (even if some claim that is a lie as well).
If you are so adamant about them being 'cut off' then Tulsa isn't your problem... it's your answer.
I may not be among the Tulsa group... but I stand confident in their right to align themselves with those whose value system more closely matches theirs.
To allow anything less is to deny God the right to put those values in them.
God bless the Tulsa crowd with great Apostolic revival. I can only hope the UPC has a mighty outpouring as well.
