Paul called even those who are carnal,babies,and caused strife and division brethren.

1 Corinthians, chapter 3
1: And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2: I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3: For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

No, I "really" believe just what I said. I have friends that are one steppers that do not hold all the holiness standards that I call my Brother. To me, when someone is "born again", and attempts to live for God I accept them as in the family of God.

Please don't read into it more than is there.

The bible says to be of one mind. When Jesus said go and teach he did not send them out to teach something false.
How can a one stepper and a 3 stepper be of one mind???

While I can look at one steppers that have obeyed Acts 2:38 as born again, I do not agree with where they place the New Birth at in the equation. But it does not negate their Spiritual birth. I think you are cutting this a little closer than it should be. Being a Brother, and being right in doctrine, is 2 different things. Otherwise most all of you are lost because you believe in a pre-trib rapture.

bTW- the last line was

The belief that one is saved at repentance is false doctrine. I didn't say it God did!!!

I'm really tempted to ask exactly where in the Bible God says this, but... that would resurrect the old One Step/ Three Step debate. So. I won't ask. No. I will not ask where God said the belief that one is saved at repentance is false doctrine.
