Of course they preach
Acts 2:38. I don't know the younger NH personally, and so I am not as confident in trying to portray his beliefs. However, I do know what his father and grandfather taught and how it differed from the brand of "
Acts 2:38" that you're trying to sell.
As far as your statement, "There isn't a chance in this world that Bro. N. Haney believes in salvation at repentance!" I honestly think that you're wrong. NH has had to adopt a more strident persona at times (at least it seems to me to be more strident than he used to be) since assuming the pastorate. And, just like his father, he does have to project a certain image for the benefit of the school.
As to they're By-Laws - why do you think By-Laws are written? It's to preserve a certain heritage. And in this case, the heritage is certainly not the doctrines you have espoused.
