My friend the problem looking back and not being there is this. Those PCI guys so fervently preached Acts 2:38 that when you heard them you wouldn't know the difference unless you listened closely to the terminology. Elder Gurley baptized 100's if not 1000's in Jesus and preached the HGB for strong his converts recieved it. And did the majority of PCI guys. However when personally speaking with them they believed folks were saved at repentance but the only Bible baptism was in Jesus Name and receiving the HGB was essential to living a overcoming life as a saint. So I am sure it seemed more semantical back then. But as time progressed the PAJC men believed Acts 2:38 was the new birth and preached it as so. It was destined to fail.
I agree with Brother Epley.

yea.... thats like saying the civil war was fought over states rights.
.
From a legal standpoint, the WBTS was actually fought over secession. What agitating factors that led to secession are really not important. But that is a topic for another thread.
I always see the most guests viewing these types of threads, you guys need to come out from hiding and join us reprobates,we don't bite...
