Correct me if I'm wrong, but why contend for our own viewpoints, if we are
all part of the one body of Christ?  I think there's a passage written by
Paul stating something to the effect of not everyone can be the head, etc.
We all have our own functions in the Body, yes, but to contend with one
another?  *shakes his head* I don't think so.

By the way, I've been in this thing for 3 and a half years now, and while I
admit I have lots to learn, I know exactly what it takes for someone to be
saved; i.e. repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sin, receive the indwelling of the Holy Ghost evidenced by
speaking in another tongue as the Spirit gives the utterance, and doing your
best to live a clean, godly lifestyle separated from this world.  In other
words, LIVE THE LIFE!  Just b/c someone outside of Pentecost doesn't totally
agree with our stance doesn't mean we have to shun them.  Hadn't it been
said to "love the sinner and hate the sin"?

Enough ramblings from me.

In Christ,
Bro. Kerry-Michael Hazelton
