Bro. Epley I don't have a problem with what you believe (though I believe you are wrong), but with your arrogance and hatred toward other Christians (specifically those who don't fit YOUR subjective definition of apostolic), such as myself.
It may well be that the all trinitarians are lost thread goes back years, but it reveals the attitude of those who originally posted it towards the very people Jesus shed His blood for AND nobody forced you to resurrect the thread and repeatedly make harsh sweeping statements against all trinitarians of all times, as well as all those who are oneness but you deem as compromisers. Its not just one thread, but hundreds and probably thousands of vitriolic and inflammatory posts by you over the years aimed at your fellow Christians which has earned you the reputation of the more PC version of Reckhart and Winter.
You lament those of us who don't see many of your sacred cows as essential yet you cannot do something so simple as provide us scriptural exegesis of why a man cannot have facial hair, a woman cannot wear a ring, and a man can't wear a pair of shorts.
My problem isn't what you believe, but the fact that you can't prove most of it with scripture. Let's start some new threads and discuss only the scriptural merits of what you say many of us have left.
Truth be told some of us did leave oneness Pentecostalism, and in the process it is true that some turned from Christ. But many of us who left OPism did not turn away from Christ, nor the scripture, nor His people. Only from bad theology, legalism, and totalitarian leadership. Truth be told we left you, not Christ, and THAT is why you are offended and feel the need to condemn us to hell.

Jason, Brother Epley didnt go quite far enough in trying to explain the genisis of "all trinitrians are lost" tHreads.
There was a time when FCF was quite a busy place and both sides went at it pretty hard... and walked away smiling about it.... and sometimes when we walked away with a bit of a brused ego... but every side of every issue was defended in exactly the same way. ATRL was just a single thread among many that was involved. its the only one that seems to be left from those old days.
but you seem to thing that Elder Epley and those of us who believe the Water/Spirit doctrine "hate". that just isnt true and the history of where this forum came from matters.
The sad thing is Charnok knows this. He seems to have decided revisionist history is the better part.
bad form Charnok, bad form!
