It was not the culture that destroyed this girl but a mother that had no understanding of the difference between legalism and true Holiness.
But of course you couldn't miss an opportunity to get a dig in on "Apostolic Identity"
I would imagine that for every young person that went to a conservative church and backslid , there are just as many from liberal, charismatic, supposedly "grace" churches that have backslid too....
....you just cant tell the difference.

Its entirely possible that DB was referring to a specific church, SS, not the entire organization.
And, your last comment is highly offensive, and shows the narrowness of your mind.....I think you are trapped in the narrow mindset that many Apostolics share....the only difference in a person who is saved and not saved is their outward appearance.......hence, when a charismatic person backslides, you can't tell the difference.
Well, if you understood true Christianity, you'd understand that pure religion and undefiled has nothing to do with outward appearance, but everything to do with actions and attitudes of the heart.......but, I can't blame you for not knowing that.

I'm amazed at how many people dismiss the passage in I Samuel 16 that states "Man looks on the outward appearance but God looks on the heart."

In Matthew chapter 23 Jesus addresses the "holiness" and "identity" folks of his day who placed all the emphasis on the outward and visible. Read that chapter some time. It's pretty rough.

I will take it as far as scripture takes it.
Now, you tell me how Jesus defined Christians?
Let me help you get started......."by this shall all men know that you are my disciples, that you have____________"

Re: A Lost Little Lamb
The disciples did then and the disciples do today,
show great love, in preaching the unadulterated
Word of God......teaching the plain plan of Salvation,
teaching holiness is still right unto the Lord.......
I thank God for the Preachers that are allowing God
to work thru them to reach this lost and dying
world!
Disciples will indeed show love, but, they also
will not cower down and not preach against sin.
Alot of people want just the love side, but dont
want anything to do with being told things that
they do are absolutely wrong.

But how did Jesus define disciples?
