Our old AG church (mine for a few years and my wifes her whole life) had elements of that. But mainly they were all about legislating the when, how's, why's, and wheres of what a married couple were to do sexually. Apparently an area our fellow poster Esaias, feels needs to be addressed as well.

A person can drink alcohol and not be a "drunk". It was not this "christian's" place to make that judgement. I can tell you that the man was clearly not inebriated. he was a 60ish man who was not loud, obnoxious, or anything else. He was just walking and talking quietly with two friends (he was directly ahead of us) when this so called chrisitian started his schtick.
You guys act like this "christian" encountered an obviously drunk man and I am upset at that. That is not the case at all.
If you agree with this method of witnessing your kind are doomed to remain a relatively tiny religious sect who does as much harm to the gospel message as satan does.

I never said that the man was a drunk I simply stated that if he was drinking beer that was a pretty good sign as to his salvation or lack there of.

If I were you or CC1 I'd have responded with, "Jesus loves you too even though you're a jerk, a judge and just plain rude." If it were me I'd have said something far worse than that. |
I love this advice and wish I had been quick enough on my feet to have thought of this. However I was out on a beautiful evening with a friend to enjoy a football game so I just kept on walking shaking my head in wonder at the ignorance.
I also think Ferd's advice was good in that I could have turned the tables on them and gone all UPC and demanded to know if they had been baptized in Jesus name and spoke in tongues. Then if they said now I could have loudly condemned them to hell.

You could have also loudly asked if their wives cut their hair, looked like a harlot, and/or wore MENS's apparel?
