What you have stated is perhaps the most discriptive of how I believe. I think I'll leave the judging to God and be as disciplined as possible w/out tearing someone else down.
I don't have a t.v. I don't have long hair, I don't wear jewelry, I don't wear shorts, my wife doesn't cut her hair, she doesn't wear makeup, we both believe in being obedient to our pastor so long as what he preaches doesn't go against what we already believe, we give a tithe as a principle of giving and not as a mandate(this was one of those doctrinal issues I have dealt with for a long time and didn't come to my conclusion about it overnight). I also believe that holiness is a part of our attitude (even if mine isn't perfect). Overall, I think your answer best reflects mine.

No going to ANY sporting event or following sports.
One must REPENT, be baptized in JESUS name, and receive the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

Does anyone else look at this list and think, what does this have to do with a relationship with Jesus?

Re: What makes YOU a Conservative Apostolic?
It has everything top do with our relationship with Jesus. If one has a relationship the will strive to please the Lord and do anything His Word ask of them without murmuring.

Funny He never asked me to do any of those things. Weird. Must be the habit of not adding man's traditions to my Scripture readings.

I might have misinterpreted one of your posts where you said to "Rave on, I won't be back to respond".
Maybe you just meant on that thread.
Either way, no problem, we enjoy having you! It brings balance to the forum!
