I'm new here, and am trying to get a feel for the members on this forum. What "type" of church do you attend? However you want to answer is fine with me (UPCI, Oneness Pentecostal, WPF (help us all), COGIC, etc.).
I just want to say that I'm not looking for sarcasm or rudeness. I've only been on here a short time, and have quickly realized that a lot of you are just looking for an argument. If that's you, feel free to not respond.
Arguments aren't all that scary. Most of us are just like you, trying to make sense of things.

Sadly, not much has changed over the years. - Mike Yaconelli
