Has AFF been FEMINIZED?

Paul went to Mars Hill and proclaimed the gospel, some of these folks can't defend what their preaching (with use of scripture) against a studied layman.

Not true on all accounts. I don't consider myself "oneness pentecostal" but rather just a Bible believing Christian. However, I still hold to the oneness of God, water baptism in Jesus name, and holiness of life. I believe in the gifts of the Spirit, healing, miracles, and lively worship. On some of these things I am in the minority here. Thats okay, I'm not really the tucking tail kind.

Charnock, this is pure schtick. AFF=a church?

On one hand I wish there was a little more censorship, but on the other hand that is what makes AFF what it is. The balance would be alot better if Bible believing Christians would stick around. But then again when you foundational doctrine is based on implicit scriptures in which there are many explicit scriptures stating the precise opposite, it makes it tough to stick around.

Not so, I don't hate my pastor or former pastor. I don't have hatred for anyone.

Truth be told no one likes the word no. But you know what I really hate EA? I really hate to spend hours and days studing the word of God, praying and studying more to come to leadership with a legitimate question about a doctrine or teaching, and instead of receiving an answer be called "rebellious" "heritic" "charismatic" etc.


There is some truth to this, but you know why isn't anyone sticking around speaking out for a life of discipleship and true holiness (that which comes from the inside not, not vice versa) ? In this past week I've been making the arguments against secular music in worship service, against evolution, against easy believism, against the unrestrained spread of Islam on American soil, and the such like. And who is posting with me?

I both like and dislike Timmy being here. I think there are plusses and minuses. The big plus would be if he saw Christianity here, and I believe there are those who have shown him that. The minus is when he sees such senselessness as if a woman trims here hair she's gonna split hell wide open. If you wear short or a short sleeved shirt your as lost as two boys kissin'. I sure bet those kind of statements make an agnostic hungry for God.

Actually, I believe in speaking in tongues. Very much so. I just don't believe it is the initial evidence of salvation. I believe were saved by grace justified by faith--is that terrible?

All the while the posse posts behind closed doors where their postings and their message cannot get out. A man once said the pen is more powerful than the sword.

If the gospel is hid, it is hid to them that are lost, so what sense does it make for so many to hide their words in the private password protected domain---that is unless their doing more tearing down of people than building up. More backbiting than upbuilding. Busy dam-ning more people than attempting to save.

No more.

AFF has one ideology. That ideology includes a venomous hatred for all things Oneness Pentecostal.

AFF is a church. A religious movement. A political action committee whose entire purpose is to tear down basic doctrinal truths like the Oneness of God, Holy Spirit baptism and the need for righteous living.

Hate your pastor? AFF is for you.

Hate being told no? AFF is for you?

Hate absolutes? AFF is for you?

Deny God exists? AFF is for you.

Mock tongue talkers? AFF is for you.

It IS revolting, and entirely sad. It wasn't always this way. The depth of blasphemy represented is staggering.

But that's because so many of the conservatives left. They left a gaping hole. They chose to do it. I couldn't say why. Wimps, I guess.

Brother, how many times have you gotten mad and left AFF?

How many times have you come back to straighten out all these heathens?

Gee, quite a few, I suppose.

It hasn't worked yet.

It is hilarious that you guys keep deleting that one word from my post.

Don't hide behind a new user name to take shots at me.

I said what I said right out in the open.

It's not hilarious at all -- it's the rules. Even if you think you are right, you know that we don't allow someone to try and expose another poster.

It's always sad when those claim that they are defending truth, are in reality defending, I am right. With no respect to any other. Liberal, moderate, or conservative, it doesn't matter which side you are on. Opinions are not the truth. And truth needs no defense. And on a forum like AFF, God get's dragged into the battle. As we are not defending HIS truth, but our own opinions, He is left on the way side. Personal attacks become common and of course there are always casualties. Some leave in a huff, some in hurt, and some in anger. But it doesn't seem to matter, there are others that will come along and start the battle over again.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:35.
