There is a huge problem with your logic here.


1. If you lump me in with the anti-television zealots, you are saying that my definition of Acts 2:38 is as heretical as saying "watching a television will send you to Hell". I cannot imagine Daniel thinking or saying such a thing about me.

2. Spiritual abortion comes in many guises. Which is worse, addiing an unnecessary obstacle to a new believers pathway to Jesus, or never even telling them how to properly respond to the gospel?

PP ... this is exactly what Felicity and others have been trying to say about those who would make the gift of the Holy Ghost as an obstacle ... or forcing others to accept your exact soteriological view ....

So you think that because I preach that the Holy Ghost baptism is necessary for salvation I am heretical, and a spiritual abortionist?

I do not view the Holy Ghost as an obstacle, I view it as the Power that removes obstacles.
