I posted this thread just before leaving the office today and this is the first time I have been able to log on and see what became of it.
The interesting thing is that all I did was assert a principle with no specifics. I allowed everyone to "fill in the blanks" of their own choosing. I would have thought that most would agree, at least in principle. I mean, don't we all agree that to add to the WORD is to have the plagues of scripture added to our lives and to take away from the WORD, our names will be removed from the book of life.
It appears that some even thought that I was referencing to one or more of the "steps" of the "3 step plan."
It would also appear that there are some who think that I believe that EVERYONE is saved.
That is really amazing to me since I have numerous times explained and clarified that I do not believe in easy believism.
I'll take the criticism as it comes. Some can say whatever they want about me or what I believe. However, the fact remains, that I see numerous people repent of their sins, baptized in Jesus' name (baptized 2 adults and 1 youth on Sunday) and filled with the HG AND see them lived CHANGED lives and develop a relationship with the Almighty.
If that's not strict enough for some of you..............too bad!!!! I'm still not going to add made made rules to them and then tell them that they're salvation issues. I'm non-denominational. I don't have to fear some organizational pressure coming down on me from some office holder. Wow, I guess I'll just have to answer to the ruler of the universe. Amazing that I feel much safer in HIS hands than I do in the hands of men who think they have the same authority as the Apostles
Oh and BTW, Epley has called me far worse at other times. I fully respect his right to be deluded.
