It depends on how you define "discord". According to the Bible, "spreading
discord" is deliberately and methodically seeking to destroy the
relationship of Godly love between Christians. While I see that somewhat
in the Christian (Apostolic) world-at-large, I would not say I see that
here. (I'm assuming you are referring to the "Salvation the Pentecostal
Way" or the "Other Pentecostals" threads. What we have here are deep,
probing discussions that are, in the long run, healthy for all
participants. I *like* discussions such as these because they forces me to
make a more concise definition of what it is I believe, and, drives
complacency far from it. This, in my humble opinion, is a very good thing,
especially in this day and age. No, I don't see "discord", I see
"discovery".
