I accused a small, but vocal minority, and I stand by that statement. What does that have to do with this discussion?

One interesting quote from the message and I paraphrase is .....

"You are married to doctrine and have divorced youself from Deity."

What say ye of this message? I will post audio of the message later.

Have some made Acts 2:38 and standards THE MESSAGE ... while Jesus is sitting on the outside looking in????


Just asking a question ....
I've heard one of our preachers say much of the same thing....He said the Baptists are better Christians than some of us, because we focus too much on ACTS 2:28 and don't preach/teach enough on Christian living.

ACTS 2:38 is not the truth,it is a truth that points us to the Great Fountain Of Truth,The Lord Jesus Christ.

Right.

Anything that heaps institutional guilt on Apostolic people and causes them to feel inferior is awesome.

No institutional guilt ... CS ... Pointing out a problem that is pervasive ... shoud we ignore it? ... not talk about ?... sweep it under a rug ?... because it would be deemed as blasphemy .....

Every church and pastor is different but .... many solid Apostolics are seeing red flags, CS.

My dad preached Acts 2:38 ... but his focus was relationship ... WHILE some would OTHERS would rather beat up folks with THE MESSAGE and point out how everyone else has it wrong....

I am glad there are so many who have been to enough of the thousands of APostolic churches in this country to be able to speak authoritatively about how pervasive the lack of teaching relationship is among us.

Among the men I fellowship, it is taught extensively.

We've got eyes and ears ... and can process for ourselves ... and can opine.
