Maybe the rules should be modified so that we of other faiths are allowed only to ask questions. Not answer their questions, and not give a response as to whether we accept their answers (when we get answers!).
Or yeah. Just uninvite us altogether.

Or not. This is not just a UPC forum.

I think many times people are used to living in a little apostolic bubble where there isn't a large amount of meaningful interaction with those who are not a part of their circle of fellowship.
When people are so audacious as to ask questions or have answers that don't fall in those lines then they quickly find themselves feeling surrounded.
Not from a standpoint of being overwhelmed & bewildered but from a standpoint of feeling an inequity in the population.
What this reflects, to them, is that things are way off kilter.
I think that most apostolics (not all) rarely discuss doctrine outside of their circle of fellowship and are not accustomed to hearing dissenting voices other than the issues one of the saints may have.
I think that most are comfortable with their beliefs being questioned. The part I don't think many are used to is when their answers are questioned.
When one largely does not discuss doctrine on any regular basis without many people outside their circle of fellowship then, while they may have questions come their way, the answers given are accepted. To have ones answers questioned seems to be a big point of contention.

To me it's no a matter of being afraid to be called anything. The problem stems from the plethora of definitions of Pentecostal, etc. What pentecostal means to one means something else to another.
A Christian -- a follower of Christ -- seems to me to simple yet to the point. And it's actually used in the Bible.

But if you have been merciful, then God's mercy toward you will win out over his judgment against you.

Good point... I usually come to the conclusions that I have no answers... only different questions...
