This is where I also want to start to Brother Clifton.  We need to start
with a sincere love for the Lord.  As I write my posts I frequently wish
that I could meet those with whom I'm discussing my Apostolic faith. 
Words are such poor things to express our innermost thoughts and
feelings.  One look at the love of God in a Brother's or Sister's life 
could settle a lot of arguments!    One experience of worship together
where the Holy Spirit descends, tears stream from the eyes, and a face
radiates the glory of God could really rearrange our theology!  Brother
Nally might even enjoy Sister Starcher's distress at my dancing in the
Spirit!  

I appreciate you and your willingness to dialogue Brother Clifton!  I am
praying for your ministry!

God Bless!
