It is the debate, and strong opinion that can make things interesting for many.
It's really not unlike the real world. If someone believes Christians not wearing long sleeves in 105 degree temps is a salvific shortfall, they will open themselves to some serious criticism - both here and in real life.
Likewise, if one believes we should simply let pop culture define what acceptable for Christians - they too might be targeted by the Christian community, online community included.
Everyone should simply grow up and become a MODERATE like me!
I agree. But when debate is not the intention of the poster, then it shouldn't be the intention of the responder.

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

Very true. This falls under forum etiquette, and common social courtesy.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
