At least he's placing more emphasis on believing than others of his peers do.

I didn't get three steps from that post. Two, maybe.

He made it difficult, since he put Spirit Baptism with tongues, and water baptism all in the same grouping. The verdict is out...

I must say, it was an eloquent and articulate writing from an Apo on the subject of believing. Very strong, and very right in that regard.

I agree. I think he made it quite simple that too many times its skipped over about belief and how powerful the change of heart must be. I thought it was also interesting how he tied in baptism with confession.

He made the statement in a sermon that if blue ties suddenly became a symbol and trademark of homosexuals, he would stop wearing them -not because blue ties were wrong but because of their association (used this example as an analogy to why facial hair was preached against) and if at some point in the future they STOPPED becoming a symbol, there would be nothing wrong with wearing them again. How is this "moving in the wrong direction"?

Maybe HT just doesn't know what he is talking about????

I always have thought it was a public confession.
