I just read the first post (for the first time) and all it is is a simple "Help Wanted" request.

All I did in the beginning was ask two simple questions:
1. do you baptize in Jesus name only, and
2. would you baptize into the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost if someone requested you to... to which I get this facetious condescening and vitriolic response:

If you are needing someone to baptize you and you are really sincere about water baptism, I will be happy to have one of our counselors talk with you if you would like to schedule an appointment.
God bless you as you obviously desire to be obedient to the Word of God and be baptized in water. Thank you for your interest in water baptism.
Could you give me the version of the Holy Bible you quoted this from - I sure would love to read it myself, "full immersion baptism calling only on the name of Jesus." Did Jesus himself say this - were these words in RED?
I am sure you would not add too or take away anything from the Word of God as you could find yourself under the judgment of God and in danger of Hell Fire!

now, I responded quite sharply to this. When confronted about the sharpness of my tone in response to this, someone suggested this was AB's sense of humor. I acquiesced from my vehemence in a somewhat apologetic and conciliatory tone. And continued such tone until I get this response from Dan SEVERAL PAGES LATER, and after several attempts on my part to cool things and be apologetic:

I personally take offense to the way that you addressed Bishop Pugh!
It speaks of you as a man and as a possible minister.
"Doctrinal matters" LOL thats a joke...you just killed your credibility....so before you bring up doctrine...you need to pray, repent and fund a huge slice of humble pie and then focus on the greatest of all commandments....of course you know what that is since you arenot, as you said " a "newbie" when it comes to forum posting, or for doctrinal matters. "
Pitiful!

So I pulled the gloves off with Dan on this one. Listen, you can't expect me to back away and be nice, try to accuse me of not showing brotherly love, and expect me to keep my silence when you are doing the exact same thing you accuse me of. If anyone is going to subscribe to such double speak and double standards, they need to be called on it. I suggest that neither AB, nor Dan here, is worthy of any more attempts at a dignified dialogue, at least with me. Especially after the last thing I read AB post. Forget Mr. Nice Guy...
