Is this becoming an EX-Pentecostal site?

[Felicity]

I've said before and I'll say again I have no interest being on a forum that doesn't have a strong conservative element.

I still say as I posted previously, that they are attempting to convince others, and those who may be new in their faith, that things some of our pastors teach in not Bibical. It is not right, and I think they will be held accountable for this.

I have been enjoying my interaction here but I will leave, no questions asked if I'm told by admin that I'm not welcome... and I won't go off and cry about it. (not sure if I am one of the subjects of discussion or not since I only have about 300 posts or so).

I'm not afraid of being held accountable by men or by God for anything that I have said...

Some cons might, but you don't see us attacking libs for every liberal idea that they post on this forum.

I say we actively recruit some discontented Calfers ... I mean CAFers

that being said, it will most likely become "more appealing" to you if AFF sways to more conservative slants for awhile.... the same could be said for others.... it's just common sense....

Where do we strike a balance?

For the most part, our conversations are very, very civil - even when we disagree with each other. I don't know how we can make the board more conservative.

One thing I notice is that our more conservative posters don't start very many threads.

I have a cousin whom I love very much. He is a Baptist preacher. I believe him to be lost and in false doctrine but I kn no way despise him.

Many libs don't despise cons either.

NOPE I am NOT speaking of standards. There are posters on here who do not believe in outward standards period but still consider themselves Pentecostal they believe in the Oneness of God and baptism in Jesus Name maybe not to the degree I do but are proud to be Pentecostal. They might not agree with their roots but they do not hate and dispise them. We fuss issues. But this blatant hostility toward Pentecost in general gets a little old. I do not post on any ANTI-Pentecostal site to the best of my knowledge I have visited 2.
Have no desire to go back. Among standard keepers we fuss among ourselves so I am not speaking of standards or being an ulra-con but about acutally being ANTI-Pentecostal.

That's really not true. You've obviously never posted from the lib side.

Anyway....I like the conservative element here. In many ways, I am conservative at heart even though I don't keep standards and am somewhat of a "doctrinal renegade" as I'm sure it would be viewed by some.

Exactly.

I hope I didn't sound like I was complaining.

Everything in life ebbs and flows, Mal.

I have never thought AFF existed just so it could be tailor-made to suit me.

It is what it is. Most things change over time.
