I agree with you that those who believe salvation is at faith and repentance were hard done by when the AS came out, but there is just something wrong with the way you are going about things here. Maybe some deep seated resentment?

I just finished reading A Tale of Three Kings by Gene Edwards. Have you read it?

I'm sorry, Mizpeh. Of course it would be wrong to say "all 3 steppers..." or "all 1 steppers..." or "all of anybody..." As Scotty pointed out, there are entire areas that appear to be immune to this kind of stuff.

I just threw that post out there to respond to a string of complaints about how aggressive the "1 steppers" are. It is a matter of fact that this "war" within the UPC was started by a group of zealous "3 steppers" who made no bones about reviling our leaders.

I don't think I feel "resentment," deep seated or otherwise. Too many of these people keep getting their "comeuppance" for me to feel like "Jesus has left the building." (That's when resentment would truly set in).

I'm just adding my voice to the choruses. Take it for what it's worth; and I'll be the first to tell you that my opinion and perspectives are a mere drop in the bucket, at best.
