    My Post Today on the Good News Cafe

    Quote:
    I am a new member here and a 5 day old Holy Ghost filled Apostolic.  I am glad to see posts like these, and I hope to learn a lot from your posts.
     
    This post makes me very happy.  In my heart I feel that the GNC has become a growing Apostolic chat program where people from all walks of life can have good conversations regardless of how far they may be apart on various viewpoints and at the same time maintain a good attitude toward other members who see things differently.  I am feeling better all the time about new converts joining this discussion board.  For about two years I tried to keep new converts away from here.
     
    Some folks seem to have problems understanding how we do things here, but basically the only way you can get in trouble on the GNC is by being mean to other members or promoting false doctrines concerning the Godhead or the plan of salvation.  Nobody gets in trouble for writing how they see things, asking questions or showing ignorance about God.  Promoting false ways and writing from the heart about how you see things is two different things.  Members can believe anything they want to believe and post what they believe no matter how false or wrong it may be.  Writing  what you believe with an honest sincere heart is not the same as  promoting or trying to convince others that they should follow after non-Apostolic ways.
     
    I personally do not believe there is such a thing as conservative or liberal Apostolic.  We are either Apostolic, or we are not.  God's way is not conservative or liberal.  His way is perfect and always right.
     
    Revival that results in a harvest of souls comes after people have lined up in one mind and in one accord with Jesus.  Fighting and being mean to one another has never been the answer for soul winning.  No matter how we may find ourselves struggling to fit into the straight and narrow perfect way, we must always remember to love one another and respect the fact that some folks are still trying to understand what it means to be a true witness for Jesus following the teachings and examples of Jesus and his Apostles. 
     
    The only reason I allow myself to even be part of any chat program such as GNC is because I feel that it can be a soul winning tool.  When any program we own becomes anything less than a soul winning tool it will be deleted and we will not look back.
     
    As I write these words I have knowledge of several who have testified that they found God as a result of reading the various posts on the GNC.
     
    I sincerely appreciate the progress on the Good News Cafe.  http://www.goodnewscafe.net
