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

[Jack Shephard]

With my mothers passing almost two weeks ago now I received the same feeling. Now my mother had repented and went on to be baptized and received the HGB years ago. In 1988 to be exact. Through her life she stopped going to church because of her health but never, never lost faith in God. She did not go down the road that some people say you have to in order to 'stay saved'.

I was in Tn for the memorial service and such and was talking to my close friends, the wife is a 3-stepper the husband is a closet 1-stepper. My wife and I are the God-parents of their child. I was kidding with her about me being a charasmatic and not losing my salvation and such. She was poking fun back at me, but something in the way she was doing it was telling me that I could lose it if I did not follow 'certain' teachings. I told her I had grace and mercy and did not have to follow a dress code, etc. She told me to hush because she thought I might get struck down. I used to be that way. I used to treat people the same way. That attitude stinks in the nostrils of God, IMO.

True enough! God is God, and I am not. I can only read the Word, ask for understanding, and live by the principles as best as I can. Can't judge no one, because I have enough mess around my own front door.

Well said!

I read most of this thread and found there is very little true value in it.

As a top-ten poster here, I think I have the right to say what others have tried to say - and have not been able to.

First, there is a group of posters who are ANTI-APOSTOLIC PENTECOSTAL that are here to convert those of us who believe in the necessity of Jesus-name baptism and the Oneness of God. Their desire is to blend Oneness/Trinitarian doctrine into unrecognizable, unimportant mush.

IMO, tolerance is our enemy here. I believe those who teach and push trinitarianism as a viable doctrinal belief - while knowing all the while it is not - are in danger of Hell-fire. I believe those who would abort the new birth process - by telling lost souls that mere belief is enough - are in danger of Hell-fire.

These people are the worst sort of representatives of what true Oneness Pentecostal doctrine is about.

[Nahum]

I am sick of being called Mormon, papist, sacrementalist and the like by men who have no love for sound doctrine. Men who only desire to destroy. Men who have an insidious agenda.

Look, we can argue standards all day long, but I got tired of being castigated and gang-tackled by this bunch of heretical hyenas.

[Nahum]

Also, there is no way any trinitarian site/forum would have been as lenient as AFF has been. IMO admin needs to rein this junk in.

We need to make up our minds. Are we Oneness Pentecostal or not?

And the idea that this alternative group is somehow "Apostolic" is laughable.

Love you Renda, but you know it's true.

This has affected the entire make-up of the board in a big way.

Think about it. I am now considered conservative.

Too funny.
