I will make a very bold statement to those who laugh off the influence of AFF,
I believe AFF is THE most powerful voice in Oneness Pentecostalism today. It's readership far outnumbers any other publication in Oneness Pentecostalism.
I know of very, very few preachers that have never heard of it, or don't lurk.
I get asked about my posts all of the time.
Ministers from those other forums know every single topic of discussion here.
My friends, as I tell Daniel often, This is El Dorado.
I agree. However, there are many who are in denial about this forum. There are thousands of Pentecostals who know what goes on here but they choose to ignore it out of fear.
yep. a lot of people have been brought up in crazy stuff and weak teaching.
bad teaching will undo sound doctrine 100% of the time.
So true.
Mark said earlier that he knows so many that he was raised with in the church that don't know a bit of scripture - - it's sad, but that's the way it was when I was coming up in church. As a teen, I didn't have a clue why I didn't cut my hair - I just always said that's what my church teaches.

The first half of your post is exactly what I'm saying. You are questioning things on your own already.
The second half - - I believe Daniel didn't "set out" to have a agenda. Daniel LOVES to debate, LOVES to try and make others think, LOVES to challenge.
Is that wrong? Nope. Just because he loves to do that does that make him have an agenda? I don't think so.....I think it's just the way Daniel is wired. Maybe I'm wrong - - I just don't see it being his life long dream to seek to change people's minds about what they believe.
I personally think that Dan is tired of all of this. I don't expect to see him debating as much anymore. But he does post to change minds. I am sure of that.

Are we actually saying that the friendships and discussions we have here don't influence us at all?
I'm not saying that. I'm just saying I don't believe that people have agenda's here to change others, but I know you think they do, so we will agree to disagree.
