The same men that he fellowshipped, preached and believed the same thing with for years are now "Pharisees" because he has changed his stance.
I am no one that many will know, but once again, I repent of my membership here. Farewell.

Well, that IS wonderful! Jesus CAN deliver ultracons from legalism and phariseeism when those ultracons will honestly search the scriptures and recognize that the whole 'holiness standards' teachings are the rules of men created to help keep people from accidentally sinning and being lost; this is what the Pharisees did in Jesus' day and this is WHY they hated Him so much. He walked all over their 'holiness standards' and truly ministered to those that the Pharisees would have nothing to do with. And when honest ultracons start to read the scripture as it is written, they recognize that they were preaching and living a bunch of manmade traditions that were enforced by fear of 'disobeying the man of God' and 'walking too close to the world'.
God bless Steve Pixler and use him mightily to reach many souls with the saving gospel of Jesus Christ!
