This forum is no ONE'S.

Ban me if you wish. I understand the need for damage control. But he HAS won. His view has dominated the board for months now. The front page is littered with this junk.

The truth is he runs this place through sheer volume of posts.

I won't say more out of respect for admin.

My reasoning is simple ... we are given facets of truth ... and it's our job to continue to study the Word ...

My father taught salvation as a life stepper ... all about relationship.

He also, towards the end of his life, believed baptism was symbolic of an inward work.

I also have seen a video of him likening baptism to a symbolic work in a wedding over 20 years ago. Thought it was interesting.

But it's fine to impugn the views of our fathers?

Classic.

Your daddy is off-limits, everyone else's is fair game.

Why would you be banned?

I disagree with you - HE has nothing to win and hasn't won.

Because it become more the norm here than the abnormal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I am not going to let Dan or his crew slide by. It does get ponderous at times. I don't mind fussing until the cows come home as long as no disrepect is shown to the Scriptures themselves and the hertitage of Pentecost is not castagated. I honor the PCI thinking folks on here that is their heritage although most do not follow that heritage in the manner nor zeal they preached it. But when the tar brushing of Pentecost commenses I get fed up real fast or the insults about the written Word.

Our Apostolic pioneers/fathers as demonstrated and proven w/ data did not hold the strict New Birth view some on this board hold ...

Whether light doctrine or 1 stepper ... the fathers did not have an exclusivist view on salvation.

Dan you are correct but if you had been sitting in the pew when they preached it would have been difficult to know the difference. They(the PCI men) were as zealous baptizing Trinitarians as their counterparts were. They preached Acts 2;38 everwhere they went. Have you ever been to Corinth, Ms. there is a Oneness church on nearly very corner and Elder Gurley is the reason. I have heard in 50 miles of Jackson, T. there are over a 100 Oneness churches of divers stripes again PCI country. Had they had the attitude of their descendants they would have just stayed in the AG and been done with it.
