It's been brought to my attention that unless I take the mark of the "WOF"...I'm not really welcome here, and cannot post any "teachings"...
It's sad that if one doesn't accept a title or tag, they are not welcome with a certain group of Christians...whatever happened to simply being a Bible believing Christian??? I know, I know....go do that elsewhere if the mark of "WOF" is not accepted. Is that it?
I'm a Christian, a Born Again Child of God....do I engage in "WOF"??? Sure, because it's what the Bible teaches.
But, God did not tell us to create a whole "division" of WOF where we wear this as a tag / title of pride thinkin we're better than other Christians. (C'mon now, you know a few folks who are glad they are WOF, and thank God they aren't like those "other people" out there...not thinkin 'bout anybody specific but there are some that think like this.)
In fact, if "WOF" people do have a little better handle on what God's Word teaches...and I believe we do....then according to Jesus, we are assigned to be ministers (servants) unto the rest of the Body of Christ!...(Matthew 20:26, Mark 10:43)
So, sorry if I offended anyone in not taking the mark of the WOF...I'm a "Christian"...who believes what God's Word says is true, and as such I can't really engage in the division of titles and tags dreamed up by men and used by men to keep men apart. I'll limit my posts and visits here as to not offend anybody in the "WOF movement" (it's not a 'movement'...it's how God rolls!)
This reminds me of when I was out witnessing next to a highschool one morning and was talking to one kid and ask him if he was a Christian....and he said, "No, I'm Baptist"...and I had to bite my toungue to keep from saying, "Yeah, and God can deliver you from that!"

Ephesians 4:11-16
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
