Maybe I'm Too Harsh

I guess since I still believe that holiness is essential (and biblical), then I am a little too harsh towards those who see it otherwise.
Since I still believe that ONLY one God believers will go to heaven (again it sure comes out of the Bible that way), then I am a little too harsh against those who propagate something else as true.
I do not believe that we should preach in other denominations nor allow them into our pulpits to preach. That IMO is inviting major trouble and is obviously already spreading mass confusion among what used to be the ranks of apostolics.

I am saddened by many posts here that spurn the old ways for what is being called modern outreach.

We can thank many of our fine leaders(?) for these things.

Church, you may want to reconsider your doings. You may not like the conservative voice for it is a voice that does not allow all the worldly vices that those who have been "set free" allow.

Which one of you can truly say that you live a more godly or holy life now that you have been "liberated"?
Which one of you lives closer to God than ever before since your new found freedom?

Just a thought to consider: if you maintain the same distance from the world that you always have, somewhere along the line you will accept things that you used to once shun for the world is continually moving further from God. The mentality of maintaining the same distance also means that you are moving further from God.

This is my own point of view. You may feel free to trash it if you wish, but it doesn't change the truth being presented.

NI, what can be wrong with preaching to other denominations??...I am not saying that we can necessarily come in and feed them all of "the message", but it does open up a dialogue. Also, I have known oneness preachers who were invited to AOG or COG or even Baptist and they were given a chance to preach Acts 2:38 and the oneness of the Godhead, etc. Then others converted and came to the Oneness Church, got baptized and stayed in the Oneness Church. What could be wrong with this? The Oneness person did not change the other person did.

NI I admire your convictions. To be honest yes I'm not a UC ,I really don't label myself , I'll let others do that I just concerned with being a disciple of Christ.
I do agree there are sacred things that we don't need to throw away.
I don't want fit with anybody to gain their acceptance ,I desire to accepted in the beloved.
Things that are manmade throw away but Biblical truth we need to embrace and keep.

It's the Corporate Identity for the new anti-tv org that will be berthed in September .... I think they're are pondering adapting "The Whole Gospel is Wholly Ours" as their mission statement.

Jesus said, Come unto me all that are weary and heavy laden. If we represent Him, we want them to come to us and we are supposed to go into the highways and byways and compel them to come into the kingdom. The narrow road is to heaven. We need to keep ourselves available to help the poor, the lowly, the beggar, the marginalized. Let's be Christlike and show LOVE one to another to those within and WITHOUT.

Well, then according to your statement, truth seems to be relative.
I disagree if that is what you mean.
