If we're not careful and we'll be saying that it's Ac. 2:38 AND people must get it on Sunday in the service at the front etc, etc, etc.
Core beliefs are core beliefs. EVERYONE who becomes a member at NLC hears the the Ac. 2:38 message without exception, because I am the one who teaches it. They also hear that it is more important to give their life to Jesus Christ than it is to follow our doctrine. I'll work with ANYONE who has give their heart, soul, mind and strength to Him. They'll get there. But you can keep every single RELIGIOUS doctrine touter who "knows" they have truth because you can smell it in their arrogance. If I could get them to Jesus Christ, they could have hope as well.
