Ironically, I see how all are using Paul's teaching in Corinthians to be the lead in the pneumatolical discussion that I knew would follow.
I basically pick and choose how, when, and where to chime in on these discussions, since they've become mostly tiresome to me. This has been discussed, and rediscussed ad nauseam, so I dont see how much more (that's new)can be added to this discussion here. This has been beaten to death for the most part, and there may be some who want to beat it to death even more....

It's an interesting discussion at times, but it's not a mission for me to try to convince people here to change from whatever position they choose to have. So I'm done here for now.

I have noticed this so often in conversations with 3 step pentecostals.

After finding their doctrine crumbles as a house of cards, they "grow tired" of the conversation and become "weary" in their defense.

Next will be the cry to ban Dan.

I won't be so quick to credit these responses as anything other than a lack of commitment to deal with the "BOOKS" Dan has just written.

TR and SE have both shown they can grapple with these arguments in the past.

Big difference in grappling and proving something wrong.

OK, I am a one-stepper, but I don't think that is an accurate statement.

I think both one-steppers and three-steppers get tired of these conversations after a while and just stop posting.

How often can we just keep saying the same things over and over?

Just realize that there are both one-steppers and three-steppers in the Church, or in the Body of Christ, or in the people known as Apostolic, or whatever we want to call ourselves. And both one-steppers and three-steppers need to follow the three "R"s:
Recognize one another,
Respect one another,
Realize we're all in this family together as brothers and sisters

Well Sam...thats why I respect you so much. You made stop and think about my words.

I was a bit sharp in my comment. Both positions of the debate of course feel they are the ones that are right.

It does get old debating what we've debated so long, so many times before.

My apologies.
