Apostolic Doctrine is not what I am talking about.

What I said was that we ought to be able to recognize that within a certain level of orthodoxy here should be room for the very differnt views.

Both the Neo-PCI view and the very conservative Water/Spirit Holiness Standards veiws should be seen as within that orthodoxy. At least where AFF is concerned and these things all fall well within the terms set out in the rules here.

Members ought to be able to discus/debate the different views within that orthodoxy without resorting (on both sides) to calling each other heritics.



When I say what is Apostolic as far as AFF goes, isnt up for debate, I mean that NEITHER side should be allowed to stake a claim that they are apostolic to the exclusion of ohthers witin the orthodoxy that makes up AFF.

THIS is what is out of kilter. This is where things will have to change before many of us come back and post more often.

I do not believe it will change.

Their theology is flawed, and they are abandoning it in droves.

Legalism has failed.

It's like a train wreck. You just can't always turn away from viewing.

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.
