        That, I must declare that Tabernacle of Joy has No compromise
        as far as that is concerned. We do not budge when Godhead and
        salvation plan is what we're talking about. God is one and
        that's final. However I must apologize that I may not necessarily
        agree eye to eye to everything that was said. I must get behind
        my pastor and the stand that he took before God and man. I respected
        the approach he adapted and I saw that many are touched by the
        Oneness message. On the other hand, I can't say that you're wrong
        too.

        I do not imply that understanding the right plan of God's
        salvation is "sentencing" the others. It is the attitude
        that people picks up.

        I agree to a great extend.

        That should never be the case anyway. We know and believe that His
        Word is powerful ... as a double-edged sword...


        Well, I really am considering what you're saying to me. I'm
absorbing it and
        sincerely making it as a matter of prayer in terms of the way the
message is to be
        brought to the nations. Though we may have different views, I
respect what you said
        and I'm listening. Thank you.
