Right now I have them straight, I am simply using AFF to avoid doing what I have at the top of my list.
Just put AFF at the top of the list, and you'll feel like you've accomplished something.
I have plenty of free time right now, because of summer, but when school starts again in a few weeks, I'll have to put AFF further down on my list, too. Unfortunately. And probably, about then, the great conversations will take off again, and I'll be left in the dust.
If you don't believe in Hell, don't believe the baptism of the Holy Ghost is evidenced by speaking in other tongues and don't believe baptism should be administered in the name of Jesus, WHY ARE YOU HERE?

I don't believe that is the majority. Besides there are people on here that I wouldn't consider apostate that I wouldn't mind poking in the nose if I had the opportunity, I just don't respond to them. So if you say something to me and I don't respond, duck if you see me coming.
Why would one run away from a discussion just because there are a few idiots like me posting?

The only way this forum will go back to it's original state would be if some of the following posters would come back and post on a regular basis:
Pastor Poster
Coonskinner
Steve Epley
rrford
Carpenter
Newman
Etc.
Even I am at a loss when I'm in a conversation and someone has no respect for scripture. I expect that on secular forums; I don't expect it here. I expect that we all share a foundation in the Word, and it ends the conversation for me when I find that someone isn't willing to base their arguments in the Word.
There can be no "iron sharpening iron" if someone's wielding a piece of play-doh.
This forum is a great place--sometimes. Just not as often as it used to be.

What if you hit 2 of 3 or 1 of 3?
Or what if you once held these beliefs but now do not because you have been led into all truth?

Because all the tongues were in the bible was a foreign language...And I really do think the tongues we her in our churches today are not the same as they were 2000+ years ago plus there are no more apostoles around that are able to lay hands on one to give them the holyghost with the evidence of tongues...LOL
