You are so full of yourself. You foolishly think that you can write off the brethren! You do not know their hearts and minds! Only God does!
What foolishness!
You see the glass half empty and I see it half full.
The church ADDED to itself in Acts 2(by baptizing the 3000 in the name of Jesus for the remission of their sins).
You see it as subtracting.
It bums you out to think of this...
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,...
I am only exhorting, and you think it is "judging".
If someone showed me I needed Acts 2:38, I would get it done immediately.
I would even baptize myself in proxy to make sure, if nobody was available to baptize me.
I guess that's the curse of being honest with myself and God, huh?
