Why I love AFF
Besides the fact that they have not kicked me off (unlike some Trinitarian forums, where I am persona non grata)
Well I love it because I find brethren across the world who believe like I do.
I also love it because I find brethren who do not believe like I do, their different opinions regarding certain doctrines, forces me to study more carefully the scriptures and see if my doctrines can withstand scrutiny.
I have no fear of anyone questioning anything I believe, I have no sacred cows, for the truth never fears questions, the truth stands when everything else falls, and I am not afraid of anyone questioning any of my beliefs.
I love AFF for most of the members are not afraid to question just about any doctrine. At the end of time only truth will stand, everything that is false or wrong will fall by the wayside.
I stand upon the Bible as the truth, I only accept the Bible as the text for truth. if it is not in the Bible, then I simply refuse to accept it as pure truth.
my motto has always been The Bible, the Bible, the Bible and only the Bible.
So if you are going to challenge any of my beliefs, you better know your Bible.
I love AFF and I hope it remains an open forum for Apostolics of every stripe and denomination.

Yeah AFF does treat those Trinitarian Apostolics rather kindly.

Well, from their point of view, would it be kind to not sound the warning?

Re: Why I love AFF
FlamingZword,
The kind words are appreciated. The purpose of AFF is to allow a lot of diverse viewpoints to be expressed and discussed with Christian love and ethics.
That last part is where people sometimes fail. No matter how far apart folks are in their opinion they need to learn to discuss it without personal attacks and crude language.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Why I love AFF
I enjoy AFF, as it is a chance to interact with other people coming from the same basic backgrounds, but with as varied belief systems as you can possibly find, and yet most are on a search for truth in their lives. It is great to hear the free debate of issues from both sides.
I appreciate the work of the admins too, to try to keep everyone abiding within the rules of the forum. It has to be a tough job at times, especially when you have crazies like "Bert" hanging around.

It is great to hear discussion from all sides of an issue, regardless of who is posting. And really, it's fun to see you and Jason Badejo interacting, even if you don't agree much ... lol!
