Dave responds:
Well Mike, I'm certainly glad that you are not correct in your views.
True, we should not to give as in charity to false teachers. But who are
you to say they are teaching false doctrine? Didn't you read the
scripture I cited in my previous post? In case you forgot, here it is:

Mark 9:38-42
38      And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out
devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because
he followeth not us.  
39      But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall
do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40      For he that is not against us is on our part.
41      For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name,
because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose
his reward.
42      And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe
in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck,
and he were cast into the sea.

Mike, I really see this characteristic in you that the disciples had.
But notice how Jesus responded to them. Now before you respond to this
post, please see what Jesus told the disciples. And I tell you the same
thing Jesus told them: "Leave them alone". Who are you to judge the
heart of man? If you're without sin and have it together yourself, cast
the first stone and walk on water...Doubt it you'd be able to do that in
a lifetime.

I firmly believe that many many people are turned off by the Apostolic
Oneness Pentecostal Churches because of this judgmental and critical
attitude that only "we...us four and no more" are right and everyone
else is going to hell. I agree that few will be saved compared to the
population of mankind. But Mike, please don't act self-righteous. The
Pharisees were so good at condemning others who were not part of their
group but inwardly they had no love and forgiveness. 

Mike, if they love Jesus, who are you to tell them differently? Again,
re-read the passage above.
