 It seems to have so wisdom in it. It proclaims the Gospel and the need for
Repentance, Baptism and the infilling of the Holy Ghost but at the same time it
is not so hard as to turn away those that are not of our belief. This is a tough
line to draw sometimes. We must tell the truth, but with love and in such away
that the message maybe recieved in it intent. We can not be so arrogant to make
people thik we are "holier than thou" and we can not allow the lost people to
beleive they are okay. The idea "At the same time, they refuse to judge those
who testify to an experience with God but who have not been baptized by invoking
the name of Jesus Christ or have not spoken in tongues. They recognize that it
is God’s prerogative to save whom He will and as He desires" is important as if
removes the "judgemental" role that we are often protrayed as having.

All in all I believe that Dr. Seagraves did a good job for the forum he is
dealin with.
