But just really quickly here ... you and Renda can both answer:

Does this mean that someone who does not hold to those particular views is not welcome to post here at ALL?

"Yes" or "No" would be fine.

I have no authority and actually no objections to a degree I enjoy the fussing somewhat, however under canopy of being Apostolic and advocating whatever seems a stretch. I wasn't complaining as much as thinking out loud I guess.

These are the basic guidelines:

Organizations can be discussed but not assaulted.
Posters can have disagreements but not bloodbaths.
Apostolic truth can be questioned but not be mocked.
Doctrinal absolutes can be queried but not criticized.
Admin can be contacted privately but not called out openly.
Standards can be debated but not minimized and disrespected.
Posts can be diametrically opposed but not diabolically attacking.
Concerns can be expressed freely but not just hurled and unrestricted.

Submersion or sprinkling?

Renda, with all due respect, I have seen many of those same guidelines "bent" and sometimes outright "broken."

The pendulum has swung both extremes I am afraid.

Brother Epley, I personally teach Acts 2:38 & Holy Ghost speaking with the evidence of speaking with other tongues and so does my husband, we had 5 receive the holy ghost last Sunday and someone receive the Holy Ghost last night. I know that is not huge huge numbers, but proof that we believe it.

But how many times do I have to say that? Or argue about it? I really do not enjoy going at it, so to speak for hours and hours just to prove a point. I think there are others that believe and feel the same way.

I am one that would rather being doing than saying. If that makes sense to you at all, I would rather go teach someone about the holy ghost then sit on a forum and argue about whether someone needs the holy ghost or not.

I know we all do not feel the same way about it, and I am ok with that too. Doesn't change what I am going to do -- I am going to keep doing what I am doing!
