I would like to explain why I find these terms as they have been used here so overtly offensive.
the Papist comment is a comparison to the church that Apostolics (and many mainstream Protestants) view as the Mother Harlot of Revelations. Comparing Apostolic doctrine to that is a charge of absolute heresy or blasphemy
Mormons created their own Bible in direct violation to the actual BIBLE. Calling Apostolics Mormons, is carrying the charge that we have our own bible (which has been stated before) to its most offensive conclusion. Paul said let them be anathema.
These are beyond the pale and speak of utter depravity.
Not long back I made a statement about some of these churches that are PCI as no different than Methodist. CC1 took me to task. He was right. I repented.
Going over the line is one thing. Making a living, living over the line is vastly different.
On a much more important note, please pray for me, my son is watching Cinderella.
I don't mind being called Methodist....I think we have strong methodist roots. The terms Sacramentalist, Baptismal Regenerationalist, papist (derogatory term) and mormons are just being used to try to insult and bait others.
__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
The idea that we all believe the necessity of obedience to Acts 2:38 is laughable.
These folks can say they believe it, but their constant derision at it tells the real truth of their motives and beliefs.
You are wasting your time.
I find it interesting that these men are more interested in converting Sprit-filled, Jesus' name baptized posters than the rest of the world of Christendom who have never experienced the power of a Pentecostal experience.
The fellow in question (that my post was about) got himself converted. sad. he has converted his children too.
Children, I taught the Gospel to. Children I prayed thru to the HG. I would be pretty hurt if I werent so angry.

HA...I have watched it at least 360 times with my lil girl and I am not on my tiptoes yet. Cute.
I think you've mixed me up with someone else. I guess I'm letting you know.
You need some more snow! We received 6-8 inches this morning. The drive home from work was tricky.

Yes, there is an obvious agenda in the comparisons.
The idea being presented is that we are in false doctrine and somehow cultic (as Mormons are). That Acts 2:38 as the proper response to the Gospel is legalistic and abominable - comparable to the indulgences of Catholicism.
I want these comparisons to stop, permanently.
This is not a game. These comments touch the anointed holy things (and people) of God. These comments are profane. These comments are insulting, high-minded and self-righteous.

Well, Methodist in the way I was using it was pretty over the top. I was speaking of modern dead, dry Methodist churches.
Now if you want to make a certain comparison.... I have said it is no coincidence that Holiness Methodists were the first to receive the HGB.
BTW, the first Apostolic in my family was Methodist at the time she was converted. (maternal great grandmother)
Also, my fathers, fathers, mother was a Methodist who spoke in tongues before 1900. she was what they called a "shouting Methodist". My grandfather remembered hearing her. She would go out in the woods to "get sanctified". Her 7 boys would sneak out to her alter in the woods and watch.

No not mixed up. Seriously if you ever come out here...where the weather is not so cold, look me up. I'll treat you to seafood....not frozen
"Out to..." Sorry . I had a young lady hanging over my shoulder wanting an indepth explanation of "Branhamites" and why did they... and how could they...??? I misread your post. I enjoy "forum" discussions and debates even in my own home!
I've got family in the Palm Desert area. I'll let you know if I'm ever out that way.
This is from my morning walk this morn:
My soul followeth hard after thee....Love one another with a pure heart fervently.
