Which one would you rather?

So you honestly believe that EVERYONE outside of Oneness Pentecostals is going to really go to hell for all eternity??? Billy Graham??? Sorry, but I just cannot buy that line of thinking. Heaven will be a very small population if OP's are all there is.

Not trying to be argumentative, just giving MHO.

John, in Revelation, said he could not count the number .... but so much for the Rule Writer.

9After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Go to your neutral corners and let's all turn in our bibles and read

Gal 5:13 - 16 (KJV)

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Dear Rev,

Not biting here. I just refuse to believe that God didn't mean those 'nasty' things like - Except ye believe that I am He, that 'believe a lie and be damned' and 'no liars' entering into Heaven stuff.

I just believe the Bible. That shouldn't have to be a point of contention on an Apostolic forum.

Dear Bro. The Dean
That wasn't exactly pointed at your post.

It's one thing to reason together about the things of the Word, but it just don't seem right to me when it gets down to a personal level where tempers are rising and words are thrown out that are better left unsaid.

I also believe the Bible..........believe it preach it and do my best to live it.
I wish all would be saved, but the sad fact is and Jesus himself taught that straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life and few will find it.

I do certainly understand and appreciate your attitude about it.

Thanks!

Always a good point to make, RevDWW. I wonder if the "dead" OP church in our hypothetical example got that way because of all the "biting and devouring?"

Currently we drive my kids across 2 counties to get them to a "happening" church. I felt so bad having them always being the only young people while the rest of us prayed and sought revival only to have revival turned down everytime it showed up.

Just my experience, but I don't think most OP people really want "revival." They just want "control."

So when the new converts show up and are told to park on the side of the church and not out front along the main road... well, there goes revival. When the young people (both of them) are told not to bring their Goth looking friends from school, there goes revival. And finally, there we go as well, to a "happening" church. We were just tired of no revival and nothing for our kids.
