What I have learned from AFF

[EA]

And, truth be told, young Elder Cox is taking advantage of the freedom AFF offers. He would never get by with his rude behavior over at "the other forum."

Rude behaviour? Where was I rude? Is it because i'm the only one not agreeing with the majority?

Mr. Cox, you need to forget what you've been told and just get to know the PEOPLE who post on this forum. Many are conservative--probably more conservative than you--and you would be surprised to know which ones they are. Almost ALL are God-loving Christians, who love the Word and serve Him to the best of their knowledge and ability. THAT should be respected, even when we don't agree on the details.

My father was a conservative Apostolic, and he discussed, debated and argued with his minister friends more times than I could ever count--and they were still friends at the end of the day. Discussion doesn't always reveal a person's viewpoint, either--I've played the devil's advocate a few times just to make a point or to push the parameters a bit.

Usually people fear discussion when they're afraid they might be wrong.

Give me a break, Elder.

Questioning someone's salvation, and placing a curse on them AS YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE, is rude and unChristian.

Nate, I promise you the overwhelming majority of AFF posters are extremely conservative. The difference between them and you is they love open and honest discussion about the issues.

Please show me threads where I placed curses.

and questioning someones salvation.. isn't that what everyone is doing to me as well? Isn't the big point yall are pushing the fact that we want to discuss our salvation to find assurance of what we believe?

You posted a passage in frustration that accused all AFFers of preaching "another gospel." Hold on a minute, and I'll pull it up. The curse was within it.

If someone really believed the doctrine, hook line and sinker as Acts 2:38 being a didactic passage for salvation, standards being on equal ground with salvation, etc... wouldn't that type of person view the discussions here as apostasy? It makes sense. I know why so many of these churches are the on defense. A big name preacher in California with the WPF is on a rampage even. I have friends sending me links regularly. Why are they? They truly believe the church is departing from the "glorious Gospel."

But that said, none of those fears or concerns should prevent someone from turning their beliefs upside down and making sure they are right. I would argue it's their 1 Tim 2 duty.

Lost me there at the end, but I haven't seen anyone question your salvation.

I don't think your rude. It's par for the course for a culture that believes the non-human AFF is reprobate. It comes off in how you interact, and are too good to dig deeper in a point. I truly don't think you are rude, and I look forward to future discussions.

Okay that is where I say enough. I don't always agree with the majority but I am also not making rash statements either. Cox what in the world possessed you to come on here and say such things? This is a place where people of all kinds of pentecostal/apostolic churches can share what they are thinking. In our world that is a good thing. Its the thing that gives me the freedom and right to say what I think over the pulpits of America and foreign countries and share the truth of the gospel. Rethink your view because its not correct.
