An Apology
 

I want to apologize for posting on here. Most of you I don't know. I was posting with several on here back in the FCF days and it was a different tone and crowd. I have come back from time to time to lurk and post some. But in truth this really has become an ex-Pentecostal site not everyone I am not broad brushing but the most vocal are. I will be able to have discourse with CC1 on another medium. My spirit was grieved yesterday evening with myself posting on an issue. I know I will get some parting shots. I have come back from time to time thinking maybe it will be different but atlas I think the forum has changed forever. To those who understand what I am saying this is not personal with you.

I have enjoyed your banter and your wisdom, in what we disagree I consider minor because we agree on Christ.

Steve, don't leave. I don't know you, but it seems to me, that what I have read of what you write, is truth.

I know what you mean by your spirit being grieved, I experience that also, when I see the false doctrines on here. But you are needed to help those of us that know the TRUTH, to combat false doctrine.

I've not been around long but enough to grow disgusted with what I see here. There are 3-4 reasons that i have continued to particpate here (though minimally)...one of those reasons being Bro. Epley. I would love to have a true Apostolic forum to fellowship and share thoughts and ideas without being bombarded by bitter backsliders. If such a place exists...somebody please point me that direction. If one is created in the future...I would love to know about it. It is a sad fact, however, that there is little accountability in internet forums. Perhaps they have no real benefit to the Church except to promote strife and gossip. I dont know.

I have enjoyed reading your posts Brother Epley. It is men of God such as yourself that I want to pattern my life after. The Apostolic Movement is truly blessed with some wonderful people.

Look Steve, when I started the post, I did not mention any names, and left things very vague. YOU were the one who jumped in with details, asking questions. It could have stayed vague, but for whatever reason, you brought out the details that I was going to leave alone. Now, it is like letting Pandora out of the box, and you are wanting to leave now that some things have been exposed that are part of your past too. I didn't do that, you did. And your input is valuable.

Like some have stated, this place needs to continue to have a balance from the left to the right side of the issue.

Also, I don't believe you are anything like the pastor in the post in question. Just sayin... and I do value your input and thoughts here, even though we may not always agree.

For the record..If it matters, there is no harm in trying to help someone...They have to choose who to listen to...LAST ONE OUT...TURN OUT THE LIGHTS!

Some of us are mellow backsliders :largehalo

Helping someone is what this forum is all about.

just because there are some bitter ex-apostolics here does not mean that they do not need help.

If all the real Apostolics leave, then who is going to remind the people in this forum of their roots? Perhaps chance one of them will repent and return unto the Lord.

God does not forsake people until the very end of their lives, the thief on the cross was on his last hour on earth and yet even him on his last moment was able to find salvation.

So no I am not willing this forum with no one to preach the true message of salvation.

I have been kicked out of other forums for preaching the Acts 2:38 message, but at least I know that here that will not be a problem.
