I don't know enough for a full recommendation, but one year Dr. David S. Norris taught at our district's family camp, and I was thoroughly impressed with the scope and depth of his teaching.
He may be someone worth checking out.
Another fellow is Dr. Sydney Poe. I can't vouch for him, but my wife had him for a teacher at Bible College and expressed great things to me about his teaching ministry.

I can vouch for Dr. Sydney Poe as an authentic and wonderful Apostolic thinker and teacher. Of course, today (considering I'm now an atheist, some 21 years later) Dr. Poe should certainly not vouch for me, naturally. But I left JCM believing I had encountered a truly great teacher, and at the time, a friend.
PS. "JCM" is "Jackson College of Ministries", a prominent UPC Bible college, formerly active in Jackson, Mississippi. However, a few of us prefered to quip, "Miseries" instead of "Ministries," especially those of us (non-music majors!) who had to take classes taught by Lanny Wolfe.
Wow, everybody's got their pet doctrines here, don't they.
Yep, but I do not desire or pray to God to kill those who disagree with me.
I think desiring the death of those who differ with our pet doctrines is a worse sin than having a wrong doctrine.
For this is the inner desire for murder, which breaks the Law of loving our neighbors as ourselves. If we love our neighbors as ourselves, would we really desire their death?

I pray that you have not construed anything that I've stated concerning the difference in opinions between myself and Segraves, to imply or infer that I would pray for God to slay him simply because of that disagreement. If so, then that is absolutely absurd!
I was simply, and only, quoting the explicit words expressed by the Lord Himself concerning any man that would cause a "stumbling-block" (that is what the word "offence" means, you know) to be placed before another, which might cause another of God's chosen people, or many, to place their confidence in that which maketh for a lie (read about the fate of the prophet Hananiah, found recorded in Jeremiah 28, for having committed such a thing).
I intentionally mis-spelled his name, and for this reason:
Seeing that, IMHO, his position concerning "soul sleep" is amiss, and that as such he, being a teacher in several Bible schools, has elected, of his own volition, to take upon himself the burden of indoctrinating many new converts in the elementary principles of the doctrine of Christ, then I am persuaded he fits the "mold" of that man whom our Lord referenced when He said,
"It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone wee hanged about his neck, and he cast into the SEA, than that he should offend one of these little ones" (Luke 17:1-2, KJV).
Did you get it? "SEA," for that should be his "grave" for placing an "hindrance, a stumbling-block" in the pathway of God's little "lambs" as they seek to "grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" by teaching them that there is no such thing as "soul sleep"!

Please explain to us exactly what that verse means. How literal is it to be taken, if at all?
