I am just amazed by how often the "guilt by association" is thrown around in this forum!
So and so shook hands with a Trinitarian so they must be one too.  |
Bro. Griffin,
I agree with you that the guilt by association is used quite often... I am thought of by some as an ultra con because I go to AMC in Nashville and I am friends with many who are ultra conservative.
That said, there is no guilt by association with some that PP is referring to. The folks PP is referring to are some self proclaimed PCI folks who feel that trinitarians are just as saved as oneness folks and that the mode of baptism, while correctly executed in the Jesus' name, is so insignificant in terms of one's salvation that there is no need to be rebaptized in Jesus name.
That WAS NOT a position held by the original PCI group. Else, why would they have been rebaptized and continued in their efforts to get their brethren to be rebaptized?
