  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

UMP,
My prayer is that our discussion on conditional time salvation has been a benefit to both of us. It is understandable that your perception of Primitive Baptist doctrine is a reflection of what you have been taught at Cincinnati Church. Have you ever thought of expanding your horizons to find out what 90% of living Primitive Baptist pastors and churches believe about conditional time salvation? I realize it would be risky for you to do so but I believe it would bring you a greater joy, comfort and peace than what you presently believe. Have you ever read you pastor’s pamphlet favoring conditional time salvation? It is very good. I will email you a copy of the pamphlet if you would like to read it.

Wishing you the best--Lavola

Lavola,
If you only knew:)
I've read the pamphlet you are talking about and have read many papers and articles, some over and over again, for and against "conditional time salvation" including that written by Elder Gowens. My conclusion is NOT based on the preaching of Elder Bradley, whom I love, and who may even disagree with some of what I've said:) , nor any other preacher, Primitive Baptist or not, but by the plain teaching of the word of God. Call me an "absoluter" or call me chopsticks if you want to, it makes no difference to me:) . I'll call myself a Christian trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is my only hope, ALL my hope, temporally AND eternally.
God Bless You !

p.s. Thanks for being kind to me!
That says much about you :thumbsup:
