Since the use of an "amen posting" is usually not done for a variety of=
 reasons here, hence this is a very unbalanced post for one and the fact=
 that sometimes, The listserver does not digest them- just spits them out,=
 I am forwarding this to the list. Let's just hope the checksum matches.

Bro Steve, 
Let me add how refreshing the posting you sent was. I am in constant=
 thought through the day today on whether I am a conservative, a moderate=
 or just moderately conservative. I am on the opinion that I am a moderate=
 Apostolic. I like the definition and wanted to add I do not think we have=
 seen the influx of Trinitarians due to the way we view them as a bunch of=
 infidels. I dare say we would welcome a Muslim into our circles faster. As=
 one has added so well, we so many times will rip out much of what others=
 believe and then try to re root them in our pet beliefs. I am blessed,=
 that I have had a great Pastor to sit under when I was in high school. He=
 established me in the Word and did much to establish what I believe today.=
 This was not all due to him. I have along the way found some events very=
 troubling to my psyche. Albeit, those things I feel sin and do not partake=
 of anymore. I have long advocated self-examination of what we believe.=
 This post drives that idea home. I continue to examine what I am and where=
 I am going.
