#2 I didn't address the content of the post because the point I was making was ABOUT the messenger. About you, not a group of people you are connected with, because I have never met them, and don't know them.
It was about YOU judging and making assumptions about people who don't believe the same as you do, who you don't even know, grouping an entire segment of society and judging them based on the behavior of some people who you do know.
And if I have to hear one more person tell me about their apostolic pedigree, I will have to just scream. I have one too, it is extensive, I choose not to trot it out every time I want to validate my point. It is irrelevant to the subject. I may met or been around 90% of all conservative apostolics and 90% of all liberal/charismatic apostolics, that still does not give me the right to judge the entire group for the crimes of some of them. In fact, here is a novel thought, I try my hardest not to judge any of them, even the ones I do know. It is enough work keeping my own life and spirit in line with Christ.
#3 You have no idea what I do or don't believe because I do not lay that out on here, for reasons of my own.

Again, why are you attacking me? I haven't attacked anyone. Just making observation across a vast array of Apostolicdom. I am not judging anyone. I am making a human behavioral point. This behavior is wrong and incites fleshly attachment to non salvific behavior which leads to spiritual elitism.
If you don't agree, tell me why? Stop attacking me and judging me. I'm telling you why many children grow up and rebel against the church and abandon their childhood roots.
