Question of the day: How come the one or two line responses get so much attention that turns into a "tit for tat" clash of the arrogances that contains no real substance while it seems some look the other way from post like this with scripture and potential discussion ?
Just sayin' (Used with consent of Timmy)

The Purpose of the Gospel of John: The author of the gospel states the reason for his writing his book(s) as follows: "...these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name (Jn. 20:31)."
I'll let John answer your question Keith
It appears john felt that at his writing of the gospel, some 20 or 30 years into the history of the church, that he wrote enough, that someone could read it and come to a saving knowledge of Christ.
Well, actually, that post is just scripture -- no commentary to respond to.
Exactly, but the point is evident. For those of us who are "unlearned", addressing this would be much more fruitful than whats been going back and forth. Hmmmm, fruitful. Theres a thought, you will know them by their fruits................ Is childish bickering a fruit ?
Just wonderin'

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter

Scotty, don't tempt me ... or I will pull up your past posts.
Does anybody hold up those signs, anymore? I don't watch football much, but it's been a long time since I've seen one. (And I don't think I've ever seen an "Acts 2:38" sign! )
Well, Timotheus, maybe your observation of a lack of an Acts 2:38 sign is a call from God for you to do it.

Nope - not fruit at all.
Neither is digging your heels in the ground and not budging (either side).

Shall we get on the bus?
Why DA ? Feeling a little judgmental ? Maybe you want to slap me in the face with a "told ya so" or "hypocrit" remark ? From what all I have read in this thread it would be fitting.
I have stopped my "preaching" and have been taking an open look at what is being taught and spoken here. Some things I have conceeded to and others I have yet to be shown as being scripturally sound. I am here to read and ask questions. If you cant do more than the low blows and sarcasm let me know and I will look else where.
