And you are finally getting it I think... Some people are willing to compromise the message of Acts 2 in an effort to be progressive. That is where I draw the line.

Have a wonderful evening...

I was not trying to be argumentative at all. I am trying to understand what you are really meaning.

I believe that "Salvation Message" is referring to what He did on the cross and the Doctrine of Salvation is a misnomer. The the saved has doctrine, but I do not believe doctrine saves a person. I guess I could be wrong. I just do not think that Doctrine alone can save anyone. Alot of doctrine I see is man made stuff and fluff. I do agree that some men and women have benefitted from some of these things, but some have not. Some have grown light years ahead spiritually by following some of these things, but some people haven't and they die off. Just like some plants grown in a desert and some don't. IMO

I guess I could be wrong,B but I guess I see the Salvation Message as the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus and doctrine as what Acts 2:38 says. I do not think that Doctrine can save you alone.

Brother,

I will start using more smileys with you! I was laughing when I wrote that! I really am sorry for not letting you know I was funning with you and enjoying the discourse.

I do have to know though, am I still a Con/Ultra Con in your book and do you still think I am a legalist because I CHOOSE to live a life that is separated unto God not from the world?
