It has long strained my understanding that people (I have no clue if your are or aren't one of them) that continually blast the organization and disagree with so much of what it stands for would ever want to stay in it.
To change it? There are enough flavors of Pentecost out there they could find something more akin to their beliefs in a lot of places.
To keep fellowship? Why seek fellowship with those you vehemently disagree with?
To keep a Church? Disaffiliation is easy enough to do... if even needed as many are not affiliated.
If I disagreed with so much of what it stood for I would find another group and I surely wouldn't sign the, what was it called... ? The 'infernal' statement?
I guess my brand of integrity simply wouldn't allow it.

I don't think PP disagrees with that much at all, what he has said has been blown completely out of portion. Does this not show shallowness of the fellowhip, if I disagree in one point (or three) I am tainted? PP made a very valid point about slamming seekers with extra biblical requirements. Accept on this forum there does not appear to be a safe place for pastors to be open and have honest discussion. Don't shake the web you might make me look bad to those I preach to?
