Re: Has AFF Changed Your Beliefs?
It hasn't changed my beliefs, but has made me think, and in a good way challenge some things I'd been tought. I've found a lot of resourceful people here and it has helped my personal studies.

Re: Has AFF Changed Your Beliefs?
My interaction with other people on and offline has at times made me re-evaluate some things that I hadn't ever taken the time to study or search out for myself. After study and prayer, I've changed on some things. On other things, my beliefs remained the same.
But most of that occurred before the inception of this forum. And it was never a matter of someone's arguments winning me over..I considered other's arguments but always studied it out for myself.

Re: Has AFF Changed Your Beliefs?
This forum and the internet in general has given me an opportunity to see that there are many different ways to look at scripture. It has caused me to think, reevaluate and study what I believe. It has not caused me to change any of my core beliefs.

Re: Has AFF Changed Your Beliefs?
I haven't been here long enough for it to change me, but I'm really loving the forum!
I'm in a strange place.... at heart I'm pretty much a "liberal", but I've always attended ultra con churches (well, the church I attended as a child wasn't ultra ultra, but certainly not liberal). For complicated reasons, I'll probably stay where I am for a while. So, since I can't really air my views publically, it's nice to have this place where I can participate in conversations with widely varying viewpoints.

When I read the infamous Fudge book several years ago it helped me feel vindicated. I realized I was not such a maverick and certainly not backslidden, reprobate, or a heretic. I was just "old time" Apostolic and believed like the Apostolic/Pentecostal pioneers preached, taught, and practiced before the "three-steppers" took over.

Re: Has AFF Changed Your Beliefs?
Yeah, it has really messed me up. I am now singing Kathy's Song to Jesus Himself.
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I.
