Re: A Personal Appeal to AFF Posters<<<<
Wow, when I read the first post in this thread I had to quickly go look at my calendar as I thought April fools day must have snuck up on me this year.
EA, apparently it is not good enough for us to be Oneness. To please you we must actively and forcefully trash trinitrianism.
I think everybody you mentioned has made it clear we are Oneness but do not hold the differences between Oneness and trinitarianism as the difference between monotheism and polytheism and therefore do not see it as a heaven or hell issue. None of us will have a perfect understanding of the godhead until we get to heaven. However in the meantime my understanding the Oneness view.
In the thread you referenced I even warned a poster who questioned the validity of Oneness that he could not go down that path as this is a Oneness forum.

I'm not asking you to trash anything.
Go look at the tone of that thread, CC1. Oneness believers were attacked repeatedly.

Re: A Personal Appeal to AFF Posters<<<<
Since it is not April fools day I am checking to see if it is a full moon. If it is not next step is to call EA's wife and make sure he has not stopped taking his meds!

I believe in one God and I also believe that God is one. I believe in baptism in Jesus' name and I believe in the infilling of the Holy Ghost.
I was justified/saved/born again on March 28, 1955 when, at the age of 17, I asked Jesus Christ to come into my heart.
I was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ on October 27, 1955 at Elim Tabernacle (UPC) in Milwaukee, WI.
I was baptized in the Holy Ghost on Pentecost Sunday May 20, 1956 at Bethel Tabernacle (UPC) in Racine, WI.
I believe in Acts 2:38. I believe I have experienced all three experiences of Acts 2:38:
1. salvation
2. water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ
3. baptism in the Holy Ghost
I've experienced all three of those experiences, however, I do not believe I was any more saved after water baptism nor after Spirit baptism than I was before.
Not everyone on this forum agrees with my understanding of Acts 2:38 but it is a valid belief held by many who call themselves Apostolic, Pentecostal, Charismatic, Full Gospel or just Christian.
Some times I may come off a little caustic in some of my comments here but I do not doubt the salvation or sincerity of those who do not see things the way I do.
Each of us here who loves the Lord and His Word is as important as any other on this forum. We need to do a better job of disagreeing without being disagreeable and a better job of contending without being contentious.

AFF has become a place that actively mocks my beliefs. On the most recent thread I started, every admin that participated defended Trinitarianism and actively posted against Oneness doctrine.
Again, this place is now enemy territory. It exists solely to tear down basic doctrinal truths.
This thread will be removed, I'm quite sure.
