And that this is an Apostolic forum does NOT mean we start banning and preventing non-apostolics either. They have an opinion and you Apostolics are welcome and encouraged to refute their opinion or give your own etc etc.

This is an Apostolic board in that the doctrinal position of the board in general is Apostolic. Those non-Apostolics do not represent the board

I totally agree with you. It is a difficult thing, I will jump first in the scrum against someone pounding an individual ministry or person, however, I am just as wary of someone PROMOTING an individual ministry as well, especially if they are kook fringe word-faithers, no heaven no hell types, etc. This is also difficult to reconcile, because there is a distinct difference in someone talking about and promoting the TBNers, Steve Munceys and the T.W. Barnes'.

Certainly we cannot censure all personal ministry discussions in order to maintain/establish integrity? Maybe that will only cause things to get unbelievably boring around here.

If you feel someone is promoting a false doctrine and or ministry use the post reporting tool. If the admins see it the same way the thread might likely be locked. If it's just a discussion though on the topic, and not an actual promotion, then it might probably remain open

Are you kidding me? One man's false doctrine is another's opiate of the masses.

It's not Apostolic in the sense of the First Century. Their Forums tended to involve wild animals and blood shed, and unlike here, it was literal..........

I laugh, but not at them, but those that take this or any other forum way to seriously.

I ahave to do that a lot myself. Generally the first time I read, I see what I want, and after a few re-reads sometimes I can see what the writer is trying to say.

By the way, what are you holding in your avatar, a 9mm or .40 cal?
