Is this becoming an EX-Pentecostal site?

Um... sure.

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.

I agree 100%. I wish there was more of a balance here.

However the conservatives and ultra cons could fix that balance immediately by posting more!!!

I don't see those great "gang ups" of four or five or six cons and ultra cons amening each other with posts like I used to. With each one that stays away the board becomes more unbalanced.

SE, you need to get Old Paths, Bishop1, Acteon, Steadfast, and at least a half dozen others that come to mind to start posting their fair share again!

Can I say it?

There have been some things posted that I personally feel have no place being discussed in open forum in mixed company. I'm sure that drives some of our more conservative posters away.

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.

Bro. thanks for clarifying that for me.

Didn't we have some great individuals ushered into our presence that were "finally" supposed to pick up the whole intellectual atmosphere of the forum?

What ever happened to all that?

I don't think people are all that interested at this point in expending the kind of energy needed to provide the kind of healthy tension that makes discussion forums like this really 'go'.

Perhaps the fact that we've argued and debated for a long time all the way from FCF to this forum with basically the same core group of people involved and are just burnt out a bit on it is an important one.
