Forum is Ex-Pentecostal??

[CC1]

It makes no sense to poll whether this forum is Pentecostal or Ex Pentecostal. It is quite clear that 98% of the people posting here are Pentecostal of one stripe or another.

I only know of one or two posters who do not attend a Pentecostal church.

Now if you want to poll whether it is an exUPC forum that would make more sense as there appears to be at least as many exUPC folks on here as UPC ones.

Why confuse us w/ the facts ... CC1.

Please let PP continue on his hyperbolic tirade.

Dannyboy, do we really want to do this tonight?

Are you really attempting to say that the majority of AFF is pro-Oneness Pentecostalism?

Talk about hyperbole!

Look, I'm not complaining. It is what it is.

I'm just sayin'.

I think it's pretty offensive for you to accuse the bulk of the readers as not being Oneness in their theology, PP.

But this tact is not foreign to many in your shrinking circle.

No one ever measures up ... quite enough.

Sic em Fido!

I see the name calling and marginalization never ends.

Your attempts to paint me as an ultracon are simply fruity and, honestly, very entertaining.

Dan, here you go again! You'd be surprised how Trinitarians regard Oneness Pentecostals! They see the doctrines of OP' s to be identical to that of the UPC, the largest OP organization! Even Trinitarians would agree with PP!

Not all those who leave the UPC leave the basic doctrine, either, Dan. You may want to marginalize PP again by calling the UPC " your shrinking circle" but you would be wrong.

PP,

Toleration and a lack of condemnation of trinitarianism is not mutually exclusive with being "pro-Oneness"

I can only speak for myself (and have a hard time doing that at times!) but I am absolutely Onenes in view and wish that all of Christendom were.

However I do not believe one having a different view of the makeup of the godhead than I do precludes salavation unless that view is polytheistic and trainitarians are not.

That is the false bogeyman used to demonize them by many Oneness folks just as trinitarians have demonized Oneness folks by characterizing them as "Jesus Only".

A much bigger bother to me than our differences with trinitarians on the godhead is the formula for water baptism.

Although I am of the PCI view that baptism is subsequent to salvation and is a sacrament, symbol, etc, I still believe the biblical command is for it to be done in Jesus name.

So while I don't believe being baptized in the titles will deny one salvation I do believe they are not following God's word as well as can be done and we should all strive to follow God's words as best we can.

CC1, you're a peach.

Dan, why do you always try to discredit PP by insinuating that he is "hyperbolic (exaggerating)", "hysterical", having a "tirade" which implies you are calm, level headed, and able to discuss things reasonably? Are you marginalizing his concerns?
