Why I Asked To Come Back...

I have been asked as to why I asked to come back on AFF. The following are my reasons...

Well, much has happened the past few weeks, and I think it is best to start off with why I asked to be reinstated here on AFF. The truth is, there are two reasons.

1) The family issues. The past few weeks have been rough on yours truly, and eye opening as well. I watched as all that Hell could throw at me to effect me was thrown at me. I watched my Mom almost die in front of me, , my life turn upside down, my whole thought process go from confused to all out insane, and my life become torn in three hundred differing pieces. Some of these things you know of, and some you do not, and I do not want to share specifics as of now. I am still reeling from even surviving them all. I remembered how AFF helped me through the passing of my Dad and other personal crises in my life, and I am grateful for the help.

2) A restoration has happened, one I thought I had become too far away from. This past Monday night, I was invited to take part in a momentous occasion, as like minded brethren joined together and fellowshipped. This became the official start of something miraculous, as during this small but powerful meeting, men of God laid hands on me, such as our own James Griffin, and God began a restoring and renewing within me of the doctrinal beliefs I had tried unsuccessfully to distance myself from. God did a renewal, and showed me the path by which His grace is an Apostolic doctrine, just as Oneness and Jesus name baptism is, and how this needs to be taught as such. Because AFF is such a diverse group of individuals, I felt that I should come back and share as the Lord has blessed, in order to bless others.

OK, so these are my reasons. I hope, whether conservative or liberal, we can come to an understanding.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

If you mean, am I holding the standards of salvation holiness... no. I do believe that a repentant life will cause a soul to become modest in all areas of life, and that doing so will bring about a differentiation from the world. But, standards as I once did, no. I am still the liberal Bill.

Ok. So does this mean you are back to believing in baptism, speaking in tongues, and are now a three stepper again? Please clarify what you mean, Brother.

I am not returning as a three stepper, no. But, what I am back to believing is the solid truth of One God and that a soul should be baptized in Jesus name. I do not believe baptism saves, but I believe it is a testimony of the covenant a soul undergoes in salvation.

Keep track. Hopefully, this last version will be just that... the last version. I admit my faults, but in all that has happened over the past few weeks, I have come to see where I had thrown the baby out with the bathwater...

If I had to compare my beliefs, I would say look at MOW, and that would be close to what I believe.
