Jon Alfaro's immature output is typical of the types of things that caused the strife and problems in the past. I would hope that someone who considers himself a minister and called to represent the Gospel would find a way to do so and drop the childishness.
I was called away ("work") and am only partially caught up on the blizzard of posts on this thread. I've seen some real healthy and profitable contributions by folks like Pressing On. I've also just begun reading Robin Johnston's new book, "Howard Goss - A Pentecostal Life." Johnston offers what I think would be helpful ways to move a discussion forward.
There is still a HUGE amount of material and ground that could be covered with a respectful dialog - and we don't have to be "starchy." We can have fun, be playful and even tease one another at times.
I can only feel honored that you, Pel, would say that. That means a lot to me for you to say it. You don't ever lightly say anything.
I just had a horrible thought! Is there another Pressing-On, like Old Paths? You could have been speaking of someone else!!! LOL!
Ha! if he becomes a gov. then runs for the White House (which would be awesome) then once again I will be right! and you will need to buy ME dinner!
I don't believe I ever stated that it was a sure deal that he was running for President. Did I? I just said that I wanted him to. I'm not buying you nothing! LOL!

NO, there isn't another PO!!!! You are unique.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter
