Well I did read that posting and do want to say I do believe in the
message of Acts 2:38. I do also know that if I am talking to a
Bapa_Pentecostal, then they know the message of "The Romans Road" If I
can take that person to the same scriptures, then they have lost all
those defenses they are accustomed to using. The scales can sometimes
fall off, and Truth is revealed. Now I am not saying we have to be sneaky
and underhanded, but Phillip speaking to the Ethopian eunuch, well he did
start at the place where the eunuch was speaking and show Christ.
If I reveal myself as a minister and as a Oneness believer to some I get
shut off faster than you can imagine. If I have built a friendship and
have some common ground, then I can hopefully show them that reason I am
the way I am.

BTW have a well-rested and blessed vacation! Leave the laptop, you will
see us discussing the same thread again- we always do. (This has been
repeatedly said by Bro Rimel- sadly it is true).
