I am conservative because I take a quite literal approach to scripture, believing even a layperson can find the key to eternal life in Jesus. I am conservative because I choose to discipline myself and my lifestyle far more than required by Christian liberty.
Finally, I am very conservative in dishing out judgement to Christians who love Jesus but have reached conclusions other than what I have, and leave the casting "into outer darkness" to Him that can actually accomplish it.
I hate to disappoint you Stephan but you are not a conservative
by an stretch - not in the Oneness Apostolic world. In the secular
world, Yes, but you are not a conservative OP

If he is not where does that leave me?

Do you believe cutting hair is a sin worthy of hell?
Do you believe a woman should not cut their hair but it is not really a heaven or hell thing?
No makeup at all or they are sinning?
A little base is ok but other wise it's a sin?
No jewelry whatsoever, it's all sin?
At least a wedding band, but all else is sin?
Women must wear dresses to their ankles. Anything else is sin?
Women can wear dresses and skirts to below their knees, but no slits as that is sin?
Facial hair on men is sin.?
Facial hair is ok on men, not a sin?
Men must have hair above the collar, any lower and they are sinning.?
Shorts of any length is sin?
Tithing is a must. To not tithe you sin?
No TV watching at all, it's sin?
You can't even own a video machine no TV, no VCR and no DVD player, it's sin?
No internet, it's a sin?
Music must be at least 30 years old, no new fangled stuff or it's sin.
What ever your pastor teaches or says you must obey, even if you disagree, otherwise you are sinning?
Add more here if you like. I just want to see if all those that claim they are conservatives but others here are not, believe the same. What really makes someone a conservative?
It is so sad when most posters conscious has been so seared with a hot iorn that they have no convictions whatsoever isn't it Bro. W.H.?
Next things they're trying to change the Doctrine to their way of thinking, don't believe Tongues are salvational nor baptism in Jesus Name. I think it is most dangerous myself.
Sister, maybe you can answer this question. Why is it that you think that most posters conscious have been so seared with a hot iron that they have no convictions whatsoever? Do you have any idea how offensive that is to people who, in good conscience, could no longer subscribe to man made additions to the Word of God? The suggestion that people who have let traditional OP standards go have no conscience is very divisive. Why even go there?

HAHAHA I find that funny! In an "apostolic" forum that is divided at every angle, every standpoint, every opinion.... LOL
