AFF: A Summary

[Nahum]

While looking at the titles and content of some of our threads from the past week, I have decided that a summary is needed.

First of all, there are those pompous individuals who pop in every now and again with the sole purpose of telling us how horrible AFF is, and that every poster here is going to Hell on the back of a heat-seeking missle.

Now, you should know that these rather acerbic individuals are normally of the radically conservative bent. In fact, they are so conservative they don't even believe they themselves are holy enough to make it to Heaven. To that end, they decide to step away from AFF in order to find forums that are holier. I have determined they we should pray for these fine men and women in their never-ending search for the perfect fellowship of believers because, God knows, It can be exhausting.

[Nahum]

Then, of course, there are those individuals who don't believe anything in the Bible is meant to guide or instruct. Instead they believe that the words written there are suggestions.

They castigate and condemn literalists and fundamentalists as "three-steppers" and "legalists."

You should know that this group loves AFF because it gives them a platform to release years of pent-up frustration on "THE MAN." You know, sort of a bully-puplit? These folks have the whole RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE thing going on.


I have concluded that we need to pray for these folks. We should pray that they find a new love for the literalism of God's Word. That they find an dictionary, look up the word "submission", and decide that they like the ideals that submission employs.

I agree that some have left AFF because it wasn't conservative or holy enough. But i've yet to see anyone who comes back to tell us how horrible AFF is - can you name any names?? I am seriously scratching my head on this on PP.

Then we have the shoe thread and the Valentine's Day love song threads!

[Nahum]

We also have a third group of posters who are neither rabidly conservative or looney-tune liberal.

These are the moderates, and this group is the best and most important social sect of AFF. In short, the moderates are right. For further evidence view the writings of Ferd, RevDWW, revrandy and sometimes even Steven Hoover.

Moderates are the posters who stay here when the two extremes leave because they can't stand each other any longer.

Moderates are Biblical literalists, but they do not believe that religious leaders have the right to impose extraBiblical junk on Pentecostal adherants.

You newbies need to scoot closer to the moderates. They're "ones to ride the river with."

How many names do you want?

[StMark]

well I have to admit it does bother me that certain people have branched off
to start little cliques because the rest of us were not good enough.
that's the bottom line and that is my firm opinion on the matter

Some aren't here to discuss theology - it's about friendship and a friendly environment to exchange fun things, share happenings in their lives, etc.

Yes, they count.
