Re: All Trinitarians are Lost!!!!!!!!!!!

Having grown up in the Pentecostal movement that Steve Epley is a part of and hearing him preach myself, I understand the rhetoric this man speaks of. The "do or die" salvation message. Except most people in this movement can't agree on the specifics of salvation other than to be baptized/immersed in Jesus name, speak in tongues, and then they add in various standards that no one really agrees on including dress codes and the uncut hair doctrine, but most importantly, one thing most of them agree on is this - to hate all Trinitarians, and anyone else who doesn't believe in Jesus Name only religion.

I believe Steve Epley is on here today simply to stir the pot, and to get a big reaction, and for pure entertainment. He has no thought or intention of listening to what anyone else has to say, or to even prayerfully consider that his doctrine may be not quite right. It may not be all right, and it may not be all wrong, but his attitude speaks louder than his words.

If any man thinks they have God all figured out, then that is like the created saying to the Creator, i know better than you. And that my friend, is scary. I would never want to stand and say, my doctrine, and my belief system is the ONLY way to heaven! I would encourage others to search the scriptures for themselves, and find it out for themselves, but never would I want to condemn anyone to hell because they didn't believe my doctrine.

When Paul reprimanded the church about false doctrine, it was to those who no longer even believed in Jesus. He recognized though, that there would be vegetarians, and meat eaters, circumcised, and uncircumcised, differences of opinion, and possibly doctrine. BUT we are not to judge men by their doctrine.... but by their FRUIT!

What kind of fruit are we seeing evidenced here today in this post by Steve Epley?

I am so thankful that I will have to answer to a faithful judge, with the blood of Jesus covering me, and not have to answer to the men of this movement (such as the Apostolic Churches International, or the AMF and so on) who are for the most part, men who LOVE to cast people into hell!!!

God will be our faithful judge, not man!!!!! Steve Epley, you have no right to condemn anyone to hell, that is a position only God serves in!!! Pointing souls to Christ is your (and our) responsibility, not condemning them to hell!!
