You were drinking some strong tea tonight Mizzie. I said that I was just wondering out loud about how the arrangement of the books would affect the church through history. Your particular soteriology really didn't emerge until the 20th century.
And since you're so adamant about the chasm betwixt us, I will just assume that your soteriology doesn't include faith in Jesus Christ nor do you believe that His death, burial and resurrection brought about any salvation for you or anyone else.
So then, why do you post to an Apostolic Christian board? Just about everyone here believes that Jesus saved lost sinners and reconciled us back to God by His passion. Even Timmy says something like, "
If He was raised from the dead" then He saved us from sin. Why don't you accept this basic element of the Christian faith?
Jesus saves. ... but you're not happy with that?
