Quite frankly, you say things about yourself in that post that I cannot say about myself. The thing is - I believe you. |
Thank you for your kindness, I assure you it is undeserved. I certainly won't become a total stranger.

Yes CC1, I do realize that, which is why I'm not leaving completely, but if I am willingly choosing to distance from the apostolic doctrine, my intention isn't to be here and try to change other peoples minds to come to the same conclusion as I have. Thats not to say I won't enter into a thread here and there and when i do, I generally don't hold back on my input, but i'm not going to be here actively refuting and questioning everything in the spirit of DA, NOW, and some of the others in the past. Basically, I am going to try to respect the beliefs of those who are pentecostal by not coming on here and refuting them. Despite the fact I seek to distance myself from the pentecostal movement, I still believe in the gifts of the Spirit, and a real Holy Ghost experience, there is so much contrived stuff and people seeking experience rather than an intimate relationship with God, that I just want to start afresh. I don't wholly reject
1 Corinthians 12-14, but I reject this genreations blantant abuses of the same, and i don't want to turn a blind eye to those things as I have for years. Wierd manifestations that I either knew, or at least was extremely suspect of as being the Holy Ghost, but I justified it in my mind, because those around me justified it, despite the fact that such things break nearly every every guidelines set out in
1 Corinthians 12-14, and even are contrary to the fruits of the Spirit in
Galatians 5:22-23. I'm not mad, I'm not angry, I've just had enough of that, and I don't want to be associated with it any longer.

Though I post sparingly on the316 it is too liberal for me, it has become more of a sckeptics board than a christian board. Carm is okay, but its filled with militant posters, as if DA cloned himself 100 times over, and the rhetoric is unappealing to me. Cahrismatics are us? Well since I distancing from the pentecostal fold, obviously I reject in an even greater measure the charistmatics. MOST (but not all) of the things wrong with pentecost nowdays are carry overs from the charismatic churches.
To answer your question, I'm not "going anywhere." When I post, I will probably post on AFF (especially on the political threads, since what someone believes about tongues is not really an issue on that topic), I just plan to cut back alot.
