Daniel, you are a trinitarian.

Our heritage is not a common one.

I have never been anything but Oneness.

Surely ... you know I'm MORE APOSTOLIC AND ONENESS THAN YOU'LL EVER BE, PP. And I mean that will all seriousness.

I admire the fervor and zeal, however. Misplaced but definitely honorable.

You have mastered HYPERBOLE.

Call yourself whatever you want to, but I have never, one time, ever, seen you defend Oneness doctrine.

Ever.

I don't like the word "Apostolic" anyway. You can have it.

I have articulated my Oneness view here on various occassions ... but find it redundants since 99.9% of us here are ONENESS.... IF YOU MEAN I HAVE TO CONDEMN TRINITARIANS WHILE DEFENDING THE PROVERBIAL FORT... then you can have it.

Dedend the truth and condemn the Trinitarian doctrine not the Trinitarian.

Actually I think sometimes Onetarians are afraid of becomming friends with those out in the mainstream...as though they will be convinced of something their pastor is doing his best to convince otherwise.

I think Onetarians also sequester themselves in their own little communities/circles/etc. and therefore can easily be considered to be elitists. I am not saying that, I am just saying that is the perception....true? False?

I don't see a whole lot of evangelistic effort being spent converting the mainstream church...just like the admonition of going into a bar or strip club to witness to the hairy unwashed.

True, but I go to an independent Oneness church that tells people to come as they are and doesn't preach a clothesline salvational message.

Did you just coin that?

And, "hairy unwashed?"

Very good post, PP. I agree. I've had "friends" on both sides of the fence with agendas. IRL, it seems that many are uncomfortable with my moderate to moderately conservative views. And I refuse to be out into a box and stamped with someone else's label.

I have many, many casual friends. We must, however, be cautious in choosing those with whom we become "yolked" in close friendship.

Your percentage is a bit high there, Sparky.
