Pel, you are a very bright guy. One of the best debaters from the PCI view on this board and most of the time you are reasonable. however as some have already pointed out, that line that you are suggesting has been crossed by Water/Spirit believers has also been crossed of late by yourself and some others.
THIS is what has led to the current departure of a number of highly valued posters.
Whether or not St Matt and Scotty acknowledge Goss as a paragon of Apostolic truth is irrelevant.
What is relevant at this point in time is that you and some others recognize that while you have a right to point to Goss and Urshan and Haywood, you have a responsibility NOT to point to the Pope!
Until we get that settled, we have a lopsided board that will not find its balance.

I have never made the statement that anyone is a "Papist or Mormon..." In fact, I don't believe that I have even used those words in a post until just now.
I did see others make that statement and moved on, not wanting to be involved in that kind of back and forth. Personally, I don't see the connection except in a overly broad application of the "baptismal regeneration" idea. From my experience, OP's of the "Water&Spirit" persuasion have so many different nuanced stands on the issue that it's difficult to lump them in with any other group.
