however the posters have changed that many are not only NOT Pentecostal but are anti anything that remotely resembles Pentecost. I talk to several ex-members who say that the negative tone toward Pentecost in general has caused them to lose interest here. The ONLY reason I ever come over here is I made friends with some of you during the FCF days and I come here to see what you are doing. I am not meaning to be offensive but there it is.

Like RGcraig I also agree with you.

We fought over every issue known to Pentecost however we loved the Pentecostal history and experience though our roots were different. Now these folks hate Pentecost it took the fun away. Mock the Bible and God it gets old. But I did get to meet you and Pianoman that was a blessing.

You know Brother Epley, I can see how this is painful for you. I am rather new here and have no clue of the history of this forum or any others for that matter. (The Internet was not encouraged where I come from.

)

I wonder, but have no proof, if many came here looking for answers due to the pain they feel or felt from a "Pentecostal" church? They didn't know what they were intruding on and just adopted this forum as their place to come for "therapy" I guess you could call it.

Anyway, I am sorry you feel the way you do. Even though I post what may seem "against Pentecost" to you, I want you to know that I both respect where you came from, and where you are. I think I am a rarity here in that I think God has a place for both UC's (as this forum calls them) inbetweeners (where I am) and liberals (as long as they still preach the Gospel) to reach the world for Him.
