Hypocrisy.
Politics.
False doctrine.
Legalism.
Hatefulness.
Religious Pride.

Overall, it was very good.
Mike Williams message was my favorite, but Mark Morgan was very good as well.
DKB used the term Apostolic Identity no less than three times in his fifteen minute message, and Jeff Arnold couldn't stop using words like poop and bastard, not to mention insulting everyone from the host pastor to the politicos in attendance.
Other than that, I enjoyed the experience.

Definitely. Just look at the UPC. How did they respond when faced with an apparently "competing" eschatology (Partial Preterism)? They immediately divided and kicked out the PP's.
Tim LaHaye is perhaps the one most responsible for popularizing Dispensationalism in recent years. Read his earlier books, "The Battle for the Mind" and "The Battle for the Bible." He draws some very exclusivistic boxes around what he thinks is "correct" belief and "incorrect" beliefs.
Dispensationalism depends upon a very literal interpretation of the entire Bible. Dwight Pentecost's book "Things to Come" - which was used as a prophecy text in most UPC Bible Colleges at one time or the other - emphasizes the need for a consistent literal interpretation.
Every disagreement about obviously symbolic passages, disagreements about the meanings of symbols used in "literal" passages, the constant frustration in attempting to reconcile dates and chronologies... it all leads to innumerable divisions whenever one side or the other claims that "God told me so..."

Jeff Arnold needs to go back to doing magic tricks..... he wasn't as insulting when he was doing that! Oh, wait! Maybe he was!
