BTW, thank you for being cordial with me, and engaging intellectually as a schaolar and a good man. I really appreciate that.

So Jesus Name Baptism is not correct??

Be not weary in well doing, Matt. Don't put down your sword. Take a break, get some R + R then come back into the fray of defending the faith that was once delivered to the saints.

Wait a minute! Are you saying that part of Apostolic doctrine is putting trinitarians in Hell?
I don't see anyone tearing apart Apostolic doctrine! I don't see anyone saying that the trinity doctrine is correct or the way to go.
What I see is some posters saying that one's perfect comprehension of exactly who Jesus is, won't necessarily send them to the lake of fire.

Re: The REAL Reason CONS have left or rarely post
The Bible tells us that we all see through a glass darkly. I do not believe oneness Apostolics have a monopoly on truth. I have seen the Holy Ghost poured out on many people across denominational lines.
I have seen the fruit and the gifts of the Spirit in operation in known "Trinity" churches. There is only one God and his name is Jesus. Don't think that this same Jesus belongs only to the oneness Pentecostal people.
I believe fully in Acts 2:38, John 3:3, & 3:5. I believe that just believing is something the devils do and is only one step in process of salvation. One MUST be born again of the water and the Spirit. If you believe you will obey the word/commandments of the Lord. Repentance, water baptism in Jesus name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost are a beginning to a new life submitted to Christ and His will. And these signs shall follow them who believe....

Evening Rhoni...
What people do not understand about salvation is an aspect that far too many have neglected, whether one step or three step. That is repentance, a turning away from sin. Even the devil believes Jesus is Lord and will confess such one day. However, the difference is in the turning from the depravity and vileness of our sins, and turning to God.
Thank God for repentance of sins and believing solely upon Christ for forgiveness of sins.

Good evening my friend 
Repentance is such a big step...a change of mind, heart, and attitude which leads to a change in thought, actions, and lifestyle.
Thank God for Jesus!
Love & Prayers, Rhoni

Bill, Sorry to hear you are sick. You should try the ice cream diet I am on. I am not losing any weight (and in fact am gaining) but boy am I having fun!
