Dan do you realize how insulting this is???????????? I taught a standard series once in the last 5 years.
Tonite I taught on Propitiation
Last Bible class I taught Reconciliation
Before that Imputation
Before that "Made Accepted in the Beloved."
I promise you from this pulpit there is a constant thundering of redemption, righteousness of God, the holiness of God, the failure of man, the blood-grace-mercy,
Of the churches I have been associated with all teach in this manner some may say more about externals and some may say less. But our people do not get a steady diet of standards. I am not saying this does NOT happen in some places but the majority of places I preach this is NOT the norm. Our meetings are not filled with this type of preaching. However at times at home and in meetings we are not afraid of the subject of standards but they are not our diet. But standards are NOT the topic here!!!!!!!!!!!! It is the salvation message of Acts 2 :38!

For the record DA, everyone has standards as you put them and they are a direct reflection of what is living inside of them.

If my life reflects in its whole the world than I guess that is what is inside of me, if I am separated and Holy in my conversation, dress, activities, guess that too reflects what is inside of me.

I have never known of one person who let "everything" go that stuck with the truth gospel message. They may still "preach" it themselves, but they will also state that those who do not are still all right.

Sorry bro, kinda sidestepped there.... Acts 2:38 now that was your question right???

Do you believe Acts 2:38????

I've said it I do a million times on this forum ... asking it won't change it.

You are not a PCIer, as there is no such thing.

BTW, without the Holy Ghost, there is no power. See Acts 1:8

So if does happen in SOME places then it is a legitimate question.

Bro. Epley, I think sometimes we misunderstand you on this forum, because on here, you are constantly harping on standards. That gives people the impression that it's what you would preach about all the time. I used to think that, but I know that you are much deeper than that now. I believe that you are a good Godly pastor that loves his people very much.

Bet you didn't expect that, coming from me!!!

This kinda reminds me of a convo I had with an English teacher when I was a sophomore in high school.
We used to discuss the bible on an almost daily basis. One day Peter says to me:
"You are so focused on the bible almost to the point of worshipping it. I don't care
if Mary ascended into heaven or if the pope is infallible.."
