Hi Troy, I want to let you know that you are much appreciated and your teachings are awesome. I don't agree with everything you say about these same issues being brought up, and (same with Did's, ABM, or anyone else for that matter)... but that's not the point of these discussions. We are all here to learn from each other. These kinds of "spirit anointed" (discussions/debates) generates the (true) interest in others participating in the forum and those behind the scenes as (viewers) who want to learn also.

(Keyword): "spirit anointed"
You guys along with our anointed "newcomer" (Simon The Tanner) and others here are apologists who defend the faith in (WOF) as you each teach it. Yes, there will be some disagreements that we (all) can at least agree to disagree on. (did I say that right?) Anyway, You guys have a gift of teaching and have a wealth of knowledge of the Word, that I am in awe of... especially Gxg (G²), for he writes faster than I can read. How does he do it?

As for me, I am not a "teacher" per say. You guys are the best. I am more of an exhorter and peacemaker.

Btw, Troy! Your apology is not accepted, and others I'm sure would agree also. There is no need for that from any of us in this thread that you started. In Post 1, 2, and 3... you left us with a lot to digest, and I believe in God's eyes it is not (just about) any disagreements that may arise. It's (more) about how we handle these disagreements, and I truly believe God imparts just enough knowledge to each of us, (for we all have the mind of Christ), as we each renew our minds with His Word (Romans 12:2) and share in these discussions. No one is 100% correct. We all know that. There are no... know-it-alls. We all know that also, and...
I'll leave that where it is... so enough said there.

Each of our teachings may be spot on, or very close to one another's, and that little bit of difference in disagreement is then left to our "
saying and accepting" in LOVE between ourselves that would line up with (Deuteronomy 28:10) as a witness,
"to show the world that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will stand in awe of you." I think sometimes we forget or, (do we even really know it), that our ministry here on CF Word-of-Faith is...
worldwide (that's how I see it) and has potential to reach numbers that God only knows. Think about it! With the INTERNET today, we all... can have a worldwide ministry. That's awesome!
While closing this Troy, would you believe that (our) potential "worldwide" word-of-faith ministry was on the verge of collapse as was with WOF on CARM, if I can use that as a comparison? Just a few months ago ABM mentioned in a post that this forum was down to just six people or so and only three of them remained active and kept it going. I have been privileged to be here three years and they have been the best years in my Christian walk in growing in the knowledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Again, you guys are the best and I believe in spite of our differences, God has brought us together in these (final) last days.
Yes, we are all busy as well, with our current ministries, our families, etc. And, we also have our own individual behaviors and theology's in which God is shaping, and re-shaping us all as His end time disciples to prepare the way for His return. Even though we can be extremely busy, God can find a way "where there is no way" for all of us to remain to be a proactive part of this worldwide word-of-faith ministry. Time, as we know is short. My friends, we have been chosen...
Thanks for allowing me to share.
