You will notice that Walks is telling us what the Bible is saying. We are responding in kind.
It is true that God judges the heart, but He never tells us not to teach truth in the meantime. You will notice I have stated:
I realize that there may be a time wherein Walks could have a revelation of who Jesus Christ is. Until that day, I will defend what I believe is truth when I am challenged. He is trying to explain the Bible from a Trinitarian point of view. I am not a Trinitarian.
And I am fully aware, as I stated, there is ONE DOOR and there is ONE GOD. |
these are all great, PO. I even agree that the
Acts 2:38 message must be obeyed; but this doesn't mean that there are not Trinitarians, or countless others, who will not be accepted. When one's dogma becomes the basis for excluding others, rather than saving them, it becomes moot. You don't know but that Walks--for instance--may have a better revelation of Christ than you or i do, regardless of whether he has memorized
Acts 2:38 or not.
You think you have been shown the Door, and that's great. You might surely even lead others to Christ using the same words; but the words are not the door. It is your example, before any words were said, that causes ears to hear. Will you still get some "converts" with this "put your feet exactly where i'm putting mine, or you will fall off a cliff" jazz? Surely; but what kind?
If you have a vision of the Door that works for you does not mean that you have discovered the only definition of the Door--or for that matter, even a very good one, being as how it seems so easily accepted, just a little phrase to repeat--better to assume that you have maybe a little glimpse, the slightest idea of what going through that door might be like, imo. You would (both) have Gandhi in hell here, but you say there is no pride involved. This is hypocrisy.
