The poll taken had a hate answer on it. I am talking about the love shown on a thread with hundreds of posts with judgemental spirits and attitudes on them.
I am surprised that the more liberal side has so many judgemental attitudes, I thought it was only a conservative trait.
Yes the poll had a hate answer on it. It also had a love answer on it. All these accusations of hate are running around so why not see if this is true? So what if one of the answers was hate? That was the point. Do you guys REALLY hate him or do you love him. Sadly people were not objective enough to use that thread to set the record straight and stop bashing him and it was closed due to complainers

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
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.
I'm allergic to cats, so I make my kids do it.....LOL!
It's my older daughter cat, she moved out last week, she can't have pets in her apt, so I'm stuck with a 14 years old cat that behaves like grumpy old man.

I have four cats, ages from 1-about 5 yrs old. I have a while to go, and both my kids will be gone before the cats are!
They are naughty though. Three are males, and they play all night long so they can sleep all day!
At least they are good cats. They are all fixed and they don't spray!
I just figured out that I'm going to have to get at least one of them declawed. He's tearing up the trimwork around the doorways (we didn't have that in the other house), and I can't have that going on.
And I'm getting a dog in a couple weeks. He's a 2 yr old Lab. Good dog too.

If a brother, who has "fallen away from the faith", in our opinion, decides one day to recover himself from what we percieve to be "the snare of the enemy" and says, "I'm sorry, folks, I was wrong", and does whatever he needs to do to repent for his error... would we accept him and encourage him? Is the door still open for a brother, any brother (or sister for that matter) to find acceptance even though he (or she) may have made alot of doctrinal twists and turns in their spiritual walk? Even though it seems some "burn their bridges" behind them, are we spiritual enough to help them rebuild those bridges?

OneAccord,
This is a good question; one in which we all personally need to do some soul-searching over. Thank you for this post!

Are we spiritual enough to care what the Bible says?
Tit 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
Truth is something you can't play around with.
