Re: Love One Another and the Cross
I only read the first few posts on this thread and won't get involved other than putting this two cents in;
The idea of universal reconiliation is so directly opposite of biblical teaching it is really not debatable. Anyone thinking that just "love" is the doctrine of salvation is so far removed from reality I don't think any kind of debate is possible. Just like trying to debate salvation with a atheist. No common ground to start from.
Saying one does not have to make a conscious decision to accept the work of Christ, repent of their sins, etc directly contradicts biblical teaching and therefore is error. It is a new age / politically correct way to look at things because you can feel good that nobody goes to hell and everybody has a happy ending. Again somethign directly opposed to biblical teaching in every way.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
