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.
A great post, Bro! And since you've plugged Johnston's newest book, why not posting a link?
Okay, and here's some great news as well!
You can now download Amazon.com's "Kindle" reader for FREE at Amazon.com: http://tinyurl.com/4ddqs6e (The 'tiny URL' leads directly to Amazon.com's site). It's also available for Mac, iPhones, Droids and other platforms.
Next, you can download and read Bro. Johnston's book for less than half the cost of the hardback version - and no trees have to die! http://tinyurl.com/4fqd4vb (This 'tiny URL' also goes directly to Amazon.com).
Y'all know I don't have a problem smacking everybody and their dog. You just might not like it when I do it even evenhandedly.
