I love you and like you too, John .... even if you are an OP, Marble Falls transplant residing in the ungodly state of Connecticut, who can't interpret Acts 2:38 correctly and posts at masonic forums. But I won't hold that against you.
They believe that they interpret it correctly. You beleive that you interpret it correctly. Both sides can find just as much as evidence as the other, that the counter position is wrong.
Maybe YOU are wrong. Ever consider that? Suppose that you are displaying as much nastiness as the side that you oppose...
disclaimer: nastiness comes from both sides of the fence. not everyone on either side of the fence has a bad spirit.
We have to sometimes just let go and forget ...that often makes us better persons...
We all get done wrong...It is hpw we react under pressure that shows if the jewel is inside us....
I think we all have our right to opinions and how we see the Bible but we should not mistreat those that see differently than we do...I see to much hate...we need to be baptized with love...
I can be with and around those that see differently than I do however I do not want to kill them...I hope that after I am gone they will remember me with a sweet feeling even though we were different.

I am very agreeable, but have no problem disagreeing with some people, who shall remain nameless.
In answer to the thread starter. I think disagreement sometimes does bring about good relationships with others. And sometimes I learn more from people that disagree with me.

However, I only agree with NotForSale, Sister Alvear, BeenThinkin, John Atkinson, Daniel, TroubleMaker, and Berk on this thread.

LOL. Actually I am not a member of either, I doubt I would last long. Despite my 3 steppiness I am no fan of institutionlized religion or legislated modesty, especially when said modesty is defined by the preacher-of-the-moment's whims and personal preferences, or worse yet great-grandaddy's whims and personal preferences.
But I know some folks who are and they are fine people and good Christians.

but you gotta end this OP grudge you got going. Just because somebody holds conservative standards doesn't make them a legalist, and just because some holds the tenets of Acts 2:38 as true and solid doesn't make them clueless morons, mindless traditionalists.
There are good men at Just Preachers, and some fine men of God in the AMF, why do you feel the need to ridicule them?
Ease up brother. I don't like the way somethings are in the movement, but ridicule and sarcasm doesn't do much but inflame folks. We don't need that man...
A very kind plea!
