I've never been an expert at patience.

Back in the day one thing almost all coverts did was clear their homes of all worldly ungodonly music being convicted by the spirit of God. Now folks are holding on to these things,

Not many people are. Isn't it funny that if you ask God for patience that it seems that things come right away and test your patience?

I saw this too. Mainly they were convicted by Sis. or Bro. So and So that talked them into being convicted. Just my experience.

Stop judging me and others like me!!!! You have no right.

Mr. Smith is indeed my friend. We have similar philosphies in reaching people, but definetly different methods.

However, I haven't posted these things in direct opposition of a friend who I know loves people, and does teach the word. Who has made sacrifices that some of us cannot even imagine having to make.

I posted my thoughts and response to those who are not teaching biblical salvation. Biblical salvation includes repentance. Any church NOT teaching that, is I believe watering down the gospel. For those churches that do teach the gospel message, but use methods I am uncomfortable with, I may disagree, but I rejoice in that Christ is being preached.

I am a proponent of the thought process which says "our methods must change, but our message must stay the same."

If the cross is the message, then I'm not speaking against the message. At the same time, I reserve the right to share my opinion as others have shared theirs. I NEVER at any time have purposely tried to or set out to offend or hurt anyone.

I don't agree with alot of things here on AFF, some think I'm much too hard line and conservative, and others think I'm a charismatic who promotes easy believism. Recently on CARM I've taken a beating for being a "fake oneness" amongst other, umm, compliments.

So I guess when you post, you can't please everyone, but again, I don't post to hurt anyone, and I want my friend, Mr. Smith, as well as all others to realize that.

After reading your PM, I think the actual issue here just might be that you don't really know what a "Seeker" church is. You included a few churches in your list that aren't within a million galaxies of being "Seeker" and are, instead, far-out, whacko, charismatic TBN churches. I'll respond later.
