"Thus this congregation who has roots firmly to connect to the PCI actually has very little in common with the message or method practiced by the PCI forefathers."
Maybe a rereading is in order, of course he was passing judgment, I don't even he would agree with your assessment.
passing judgment on what that congregation is now as compared to what they were then.
Elder Epley would not have been exactly thrilled with them back then.... there is a difference. crakjak. a big difference.
The point here is that there is such a difference between the real PCI and those that like to say they are PCI now....Brother Epley didnt say the old bunch was right and the new bunch is wrong. your accsation was that he takes issue with the new bunch on what they preach. he didnt do that.
He would take issue with both the old and the new but that is not part of the discussion.

Although being a real PCI, like Felicity, would be preferable to the new breed of wannabes.
I would wager to say that Felicity, myself and Sherri would all be very close in our beliefs. Maybe we could all be "verified" PCI'ers. I forgot about Pianoman and CC1. Probably someone else I forgot too. (sorry)

If Pianoman or CC1 who goes to church there would post they would tell you the same thing and have said so in the past. You would not have attending a PCI church in yesteryear where Acts 2:38 was not preached to sinners. In their services folks came forward to receive the HGB that does not happen at Christ Church. Gurley, Yadon and others preached PUBLICLY the Oneness of God and baptism in Jesus Name. I certainly do not believe like Christ Church or the PCI brethren but my statement was factual not critical.

That's right.. and CC1 is content!! But Pianoman would be pleased if it was emphasized more.
Don't smile at me Coon. It hurts too much. Sure you can agree with me on that one point..
but in a standards thread you'd make hurtful remarks, even if they were not directed at anyone in particular...
ahh.. I just put salt in my wounds..
love ya doc,
Berk, I am confused?
Why wouldn't I smile at you?
Hurtful remarks?
I have actually avoided most of the standards threads, having wearied of the debate.
