Thank you, my friend. Your kind comments during my time on Higher-Fire have
been meaningful and encouraging to me.

I share from my research of Apostolic history because I believe an
appreciation of our movement's past is so vital to understanding who and
where we are today, and to discerning the leading of God for our future.

Absolutely. As this clearly and sadly illustrates, holding a more moderate
position on the new birth does not necessarily mean an absence of
judgmentalism and elitism. The argument for tolerance on this issue cuts
both ways.
