Sometimes pray about it is good advice.  |
I don't really find that the term liberal fits me either, but that is the easiest term to use for people to understand my position on a lot of things... the range of between liberal and conservative assumes that you are all on the same frequency spectrum, and I am on a whole different band.
I've never experienced prayer as a two-way conversation like many people say they have, so I don't find that I get a lot of answers from it... other than wondering if when I talk to myself in my head and then answer myself in my head with what I imagine God would say is considered prayer...

Re: Am I being asked to leave?
No I think the confusion is over the fact that they come here and constantly state this is not Apostolic (by their standards) some have called everyone else here heathens and not Apostolic so the question is asked why be here then? Why not go to gnc? It does not make sense.

- 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.

Well, I love it here, but I don't think the site is Apostolic by any stretch of the imagination.
It's like saying the color blue is actually orange.
No matter how many times you say it, it's just not true and everyone with eyes can see it.

AFF is and was a place for people of Apostolic faith and friends. It was never stipulated that those that don't believe like a three stepper Ultra Con are not welcome.

You are right this site has never repented, never been baptized in Jesus name, never spoken in tongues.
It is not even Apostolic by a one stepper's view.
Most of the posters however fit the bill pretty well.

My manner of posting has been pointed from the beginning if anything I may be milder than the beginning. There has been this change on this forum that at times it has seemed a 'ex or anti' site from SOME. I will do what I am asked to do? I decided to make this thread in case my post wasn't seen on the other thread.

I for one would miss you Elder...please don't leave!

Re: Am I being asked to leave?
Wow, never thought of that... can a website have a soul? If there is more than one website hosted by a single server, are there multiple souls on that one server? If a server has gold or platinum alloys in any of its circuitry, could it be saved without self-destructing to remove the offending materials?
