Where are all the Acts 2:38 folks (3-steppers)??

True Felicity, you are right in that regard.
There is however a "perceived" contempt for those who hold to Acts 2:38
Salvation, even so far as calling people legalist.

However I think the term has come to mean any who don't agree with thier form
of doctrine.

If you take one more breath after completing.

You still have life to live before you complete the journey.

Move past the alter and live life more abundantly....

I agree!

Park me here. I do wish there was more real discussion and less name calling and mud slinging. I don't like picking thru all the sludge looking for those who are really putting themselves out there trying to answer a question or explain something more clearly.

Scotty, you are not being unseen here. You were right on target.

It becomes a little worse when name calling and sidestepping is involved. No longer can we have issues discussed here and that makes things stale and negative.

I won't have time to catch up totally due to work this afternoon, but wondered at the results of this important question.

Do we have an Apostolic, or Ex-Apostolic site here anymore??

Renda, you know this was not point to you also.

This is a Oneness Apostolic forum far as I know. Is there a question about that really? Otherwise, I wouldn't be posting here.

The fact is though that the forum is both owned and administered by differing points of view of what "truth" is. So why would and how could Admin disallow discussion on doctrine seein's they themselves are also divided?

I see what you're saying. Or I agree with you? Lol I'm trying to figure out how to say what I mean. You said it?

[Felicity]

I agree about mud slinging and name calling being counter-productive. Not only is it counter-productive, it's also unholy.

Hey there Ron!

Contempt is exhibited on both sides of the fence -- and sometimes even demonstrated by those sitting ON the fence. LOL.

Truly, it does go both ways.

We have tried to be tolerant of both sides Felicity. One side has instead resorted to what is addressed in the above posting.

nahkoe, nothing wrong with open discussion of issues that strengthen our walk and beliefs. Sadly, some throwing mud can do much better at tolerance and discussion.

I am gonna be late for work. Buried today.....

You are right there unfortunately.

Good to see you posting again.
