My eyes have been opened....

I came upon this forum by accident a few months ago. I thought I would spend some time here for friendship, encouragement, and discipleship.
What I've encountered is jealousy, anger, strife, dissension, arguing, put downs, self-righteousness, judgementalism. on and on. There are times when love leaks out of some, but to me, its overshadowed by the negative.

After I got saved and baptised in the spirit a bit over three years ago, I was ignorant enough to believe that believers really loved each other. I thought that Pentecostols were Charismatic and Charismatics were Pentecostal. Stupid me. I thought we were part of ONE body and were commissioned to bring others to Jesus, to heal the sick, to cast out demons, etc. I guess not. By my observation here, we have been commissoned to argue about who is RIGHT!! When I argue and hurt people to prove I'm right, I'm living out of fear. I lived in fear before I encountered Jesus. I refuse to live there any longer..."perfect love casts out all fear" . I guess what I'm saying is that I'm dissapointed and discouraged. If I were not a believer, and came to this forum, I don't know that I would want to become a believer........
This thread is not pointed at any particular person....I just needed to vent...and now I need to repent for any hurt I have caused on this forum.
God Bless,,,
