The "Light Doctrine" in its many forms was foundational to the development of Oneness Pentecostalism in the 20th century.

To my knowledge, there is a single poster who promotes Universalism. One.

The "huge segment" who "seem to totally abandon the requirement for Baptism in both Water and Spirit" is neither huge nor have any of them "totally abandoned" anything that you say they have.

This is my perception.

Your are right only one promotes the redemption of all mankind, but about five or six of the members embrace the greater hope. No, I will not identify them.

This thread started out with the complaints about "3 steppers" taking their marbles and leaving. The complaint was that the "3 steppers" were being called names like "Mormon" and "Papists."

And now Jekyll elevates the tone by calling others "swine" and "pseudoApostolic."

It is a historical fact the Apostolic Faith movement began at the turn of the last century (~1900 A.D.). Why are those who follow the beliefs and practices of the Apostolic Faith movement called "pseudoApostolics?"


You have sadly taken on a very cynical view of your brethren. Just go back through this thread and look at the taunting that was done by "3 Steppers."

Ever hear of Bill Cosby's Bullet in Shop Class story?

How do you like how those shoes fit?

Again, my point is proven.

Uhm... I should go down to the river and tarry? Have you looked out the window today? Well, have you looked out my window today?

Seriously, does being born of the water just mean a fleshly birth? Or did Jesus and His disciples example being born of the water with water baptism?

Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a child?

Heh heh, GLAD you asked. lol

Anyway, your perception would greatly be enhanced if you removed your Coke-bottle rose colored glasses.

No one mentioned names here but you raised your hands and identified yourself. In Bill's version, someone throws a bullet in the furnace. The teacher starts talking about the anonymous problem child's mother. The kid identifies himself by yelling out, "Stop talking about my mother and I didn't do it!" Hilarious. Exactly how you identified yourself

Crackedegg identified himself in the same fashion.

That's going to take us a bit off topic. But I have discussed it in some depth in another thread. Jesus clearly told Nicodemas that he had to be born "twice," but He did so with what appears to be a deliberate ambiguity - "born from above" or just "born again" in the sense of "all over again from Nic's mother's womb."

Nicodemas had to choose which way Jesus was going to go with the ambiguity, and he got it wrong. Jesus was playing with the ruler of the synagogue and was doing so with the intention of revealing some deeper truths to Nicodemas.

So you consider me to be a "swine?"
