Not specifically you, but the mindset of many apostolics who only hang around those who agree with them in their secluded Apostolic World.

If we stay away from sinners because we are too holy for them, then how in the world are we ever going to reach them?

Thanks. I taught more Bible studies lately, seen more baptized in Jesus name for the remission of sins than ever, last week I saw two brand new un-churched sinners receive the Holy Ghost directly because of a Bible study. Please do not indict all Apostolics because of those that you know.

My job as a preacher is to take the light of the gospel everywhere I go. Whether it be in person, by letters like Paul, or in whatever ways. I have gotten kicked out of Trinitarian churches because I tell them the truth of Acts 2:38. I have often got kicked out of Trinitarian forums I am quite willing to confront the Trinitarians, have made a few enemies out of some of them, just like Jesus made enemies of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

amen to that. You cannot 'serve' God in a church.

wadr, i shudder at your salvations now; imo, they were recruited in fear of hell, and invited into Babel. How long before they are doubting their salvation, and wondering if they should be re-baptized...

on the other hand, it was how i got my initial (tho wholly inadequate) conception of Christ. so, amen, i guess.

You don't know what you're talking about.

As far as doubting and wanting to be re-baptized hasn't happened yet.
