Well Prax, do you feel like you are a conservative?
Yes, but that does not mean there isn't someone that might be more conservative than I am. In fact there are probably those that are more conservative than you.
For that reason I usually just call myself a moderate

Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Are conservatives better people that liberals?
And would you say the more conservative, the better?
Are you conservative enough?

Nope, there are people who are liberals who are good people! I would have to say the more conservative the better, because why would you stay on the fence and have a chance of falling on the wrong side comletely? Well, I sure hope so! Are you?

Because I want something preached to me that tells me if I'm right or wrong! I don't want anybody to beat around the bush! Do they have that kind of stuff at your meetings?

So, you don't want to study the Word for yourself? You just want somebody to tell you what to do? Maybe pat you on the head, tell you you're doing a good job?

Of course but guess what? We also tell people stuff that EDIFIES their faith every once and a while. Most people already know what is right and wrong. Paul says it's time to move on to perfection.
There is so much MUCH more to the kingdom of God than being told over and over how bad you are.
