My thread was not started to cast stones but to start discussion and cause folks to think. It was a good thread and went on for quite a while. It also had some very good discussions as well.
It is my opinion that in some circles, Ac. 2:38 has been exalted above Jesus Christ, due to the fact that, again, in some circles the "formula" for salvation is more important than the "person" of salvation. I'm not painting with a broad brush, but when the ONLY or MAIN indentifier of a child of God is three "check boxes" if you will, then I think the accusation sticks.
Mind you now, I am not talking about all in apostolic circles or all apostolic churches. But the same thing happened in Jesus' day. When the "person" of salvation came, there were quite content to dwell in their doctrine, thinking that it was sufficient of itself to save them.
Doctrinal obedience is NEVER sufficient. It is important, indeed, but sufficient in and of itself......NEVER!!!

Yeah and what bothers me is that people are reading what this man posted and reading something entirely different from what I read....they read "
Acts 2:38 baaaaaaad, those that preach it are baaaaaaad" and that is not what I read in Dan's post anymore than they would have read it in yours.
