and by the way we all will never agree...I do think it is ok and fine to state what we feel is right IF OUR SPIRITS are right....but if we post either way in the gall of bitter feelings then it is best not to post...

Yeah, my Amish friends think I am so worldly...my Jehovah's Witness's friends keep thinking I read things into the Bible but one of them did tell me Jehovah will not destoy me because I am sincere and the light will shine on my pathway...
Lost as two boys kissing??? I don't use that expression I just say just as lost aa those that don't believe in women preachers...ha....
lol...I woke up in a teasing mode today....
On the serious side I really don't like to fuss and fight and say hard things...I think by our posts tell what is usually in our hearts.
LOL! I hear those things all the time. My Amish/Mennonite friends think I'm very worldly and liberal, my Mormon friends think I don't have much faith, my atheist/agnostic friends think I have so much faith I'm delusional, my quiverfull friends think I'm lazy for having a tubal ligation after my first child, my conservative stay-at-home-mom friends think I'm sinfully industrious for having a career, and of course my UPC/OP family (and my friends that actually go to Epley's church) thinks I'm as lost as...

Poor God on judgment day. He's gonna have to sort all this stuff out and figure out who was right.
Without question, it's antagonistic. But when I first arrived, it was EXTREMELY antagonistic. DA wasn't even around when I arrived. Folks like TKBurk, EB, Epley, and the like were the very epitome of "Antagonistic". I think the difference is, it's the opposite side that has become antagonistic.
When I arrived on the scene, there was no one standing up to the above-folks mentioned. They bullied everyone.

Smithy and NOW, One of the VERY FEW fond memories I have of your "kind" of headbanger music was Jammin to Starship in a horse drawn buggy. No one could ever figure out why old Charlie (my friend's horse) couldn't keep a steady, decent pace... He always wanted to break into a gallop (not a good buggy gait)!!

Seems like I read somewhere that "We built this city" by Starship was rated the Worst Rock song of all time.....the video is pretty cheesy.
Not as long as you, but that means nothing. Longevity doesn't equivocate accuracy or knowledge. But...from the info I've heard, the same symptoms are present that preceded the old forums disappearing. For those that love this forum, I think we should be worried.
No not always, perhaps only in this case.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
I went back and reflected on the subject of this thread and what is liked and disliked here on the forum. And, there is something I don't understand.
Tell me.....why is it that people like Steve Epley can say some of the most outrageous things in the history of Christianity....and I'll list two:
1) "I'd rather my children be alcoholics and drug addicts than be baptized in the titles";
2) "All trinitarians are going to hell";
3) Heck, let's do three...."A man can go to heaven with a beard but not from my church."
4) And of course, his bigotry statements, "Lost as two.......". I can't bring myself to type the rest of it.
....and yet everyone wants him and his type, back? But meanwhile, guys like DA (The UPC critic and grace fanatic), me (The seeker-sensitive, no-tongues, Pelosi-protector-guy), Timmy (the agnostic), and WalksinIslam (The Muslim), are the bad guys that supposedly have hurt the forum? Sorry, but I don't understand that.
I mean, we're able to work with all kinds, and for the record, I'd LOVE to see Epley & Company back. They're fun to talk to, and sometimes laugh at, and they create a fuss and fusses are good for forums, in general. But them?? They can't deal with anyone except their own kind, for the most part.
I know people get irritated at Timmy but you gotta give the guy credit...he walks into an Apostolic forum, doesn't believe in God's personal touch with mankind, and he takes us ALL on!! What could be wrong with a guy like that? And then we go to our yearly soul-winning service, shed a tear about the lost, and then here's Timmy and a Muslim walking right among us and what do we want to do? Get their butts outta here!!!
And if I'm so messed up in my views on tongues and being Spirit-filled without them, and doing secular rock music in church, and wearing shredded jeans to preach in, and defending Nancy Pelosi against Christian hate-speech and mockery, then straighten me out!
And if DA is so wrong in his so-called "attacks" on the UPC, then answer his questions and defend the organization's honor. When he goes after a UPC pastor with a TV program, who yearly signs an affirmation statement swearing he won't watch TV, then find a way tell Dan where he's wrong.
These seem to be simple concepts, but somehow, we're the bad guys. I suppose I don't understand that.
NOW, you said a mouthful with that statement. Sometimes we have a tendency to forget that the people who post on forums like this are REAL people who live REAL lives and have REAL souls. If we really truly believed what we say we believe, wouldn't we be more interested in winning their souls for the Lord than in making our own points?
Just a thought - I'm not into the arguing and fighting. But one thing I've learned over the years is that you can usually judge who is arguing for the sake of argument vs. those who are making their points because they truly believe that eternity is on the line by the tone of their posts.

That is what it sounds like. I think he was joking though. If not then I forsee many lawsuits in AFF's future because breaking into someones computer is illegal.
