For the most part, I find any reference to human credential, among members of the body of God's Christ, as borderiing on complete irrelevance, a type of silliness, in discussions focusing on the Kingdom of God. Yet once evoked, they do present a basis for which credibility can be cross-referenced and questioning be presented to further examine purpose/motive.
So D.V., how does any action, persued in an attempt to verify a poster's genuiness, contradict
"TRULY STAND-ing UP FOR TRUTH"?
To me, it seems reasonable to ask, even though you have no obligation to provide it. |
These are the posts I wish Dr. Vaughn would respond to. He prefers to make admin a bogeyman that he can beat with a stick and accuse of being unreasonable.
I have never stated that I believed Dr. Vaughn was not telling the truth. Only within the past few days did I post that I was now beginning to have doubts because of the extended timeframe involved in him providing proof.
I sincerely hope he has been telling the truth and that is why I was anxious for him to resolve this matter quickly when it first came up. If anybody's credibility is being called into question it needs to be resolved as quickly as possible.
Dr. Vaughn has not been asked to leave here and the only restriction he has had regarding posting is the same rules everybody has.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
