I think we should include in this discussion .......

True though eh?
Many of the current PAJCers are a very different breed than their forefathers. They espouse and entertain mindsets and lifestyles that those only a generation or two back would strongly disapprove of. In fact would probably call them backslid.

Moses and God had a verbal agreement, but when old Mo neglected to circumcise the youngsters, God "sought to kill him."
His bride, Zipporah, saved the day.
Agreed, but that was under law, which was a harsh task master. I don't believe God would seek to kill any today, but if they had opportunity and neglected it, the end result would be hell. Why? Because they did not fulfill their end of the covenant.
Ron, I don't think that 'bout you. I do understand where CS is coming from. Anyone who makes life-altering change is somebody that probably has something interesting to say.

Let me toss another name in that hat. George L. Glass Sr. This man was my pastor as a child. he pastored my family for many years and was Pastor Emeritus of my home church until he died. GLG Sr. was PCI in organization. However we dont know what he was in doctrine. On NFCF one of the best threads on that site was about this man and TimLan said he thought he was PCI in doctrine.
I grew up under his ministry and the ministry of those he mentored. I have in the last year talked at length with his son GLG Jr. HE DOESNT KNOW.
I can tell you that he preached the Acts 2:38 message in our church without reservation. But when some PAJC men tried to nail him down asking "Do you believe that a person can go to heaven without the Holy Ghost" his pat answer was "I dont know why anyone would want to go to Heaven without the Holy Ghost"
This is MY heritage. I come from an old PCI church. Coonskinner is dead on.
Your addition in this post proves what the man was saying. While there is so much talk about 'the spirit of the merger' one needs to realize that the factions of that merger were NOT saying, "I'll be a part if you accept Baptists and trinitarian deception as being saved. Oh, and if you want me you have to believe separation is not an issue." (DISCLAIMER: Not all PCI folks believe that way but many present claimers of PCI do.)
An emphatic, NO. The two factions that comprised the 'spirit of the merger' were both seeking God, seeking separation, seeking a promotion of passionate preaching. People lean WAY too heavy on this 'spirit of the merger' without realizing that both factions were practically identical in every way... except the 'one step' / 'three step' thing.
Obviously I agree with your assessment here... and, likewise, believe that CoonBishop is right.
Uhoh... this may be the resurrection of the Posse...
