Ladybug, the things I said to you were vicious and cruel, and I sincerely apologize for them. The reason I never answer your questions about doctrine is because we have doctrinal differences that will not be resolved until we are both in heaven and the Lord teaches both of us perfect knowledge. You won't convince me and I won't convince you to change beliefs, so it's pointless to argue with each other.
Free Passes, you have done nothing but sow discord among the brethren. I won't respond to any more of your prodding. Shame on you.
Mississippi Guy, please don't join those who are making false accusations. I didn't say I graduated from the third grade. I just said I was IN the third grade. I was a Roads Scholar--IOW, I got my education in a pickemup truck.

That's exactly what true Christians do.

Since your free pass has been removed, I apologise to you too for being an irritant. I want nothing more than to see all parties being reconciled, but sadly some are too proud and stiff necked to humble themselves. Kev, Christopher and you are setting a great example to all. This is a party of pilgrims worth joining!

I don’t see how you can get from my response that I lied?
I see you think you are innocent in all this by lack of wanting to claim any part in all this. I see you have a problem in recognizing YOUR own part and not wanting to admit when you are wrong (not only in this situation). That is not a good thing. Hopefully you do a little soul searching as your comment was to point the finger somewhere else and not take any consideration of what I said.

Kev, it is admirable what you are seeking to achieve, and I am willing to be a part of that. Sounds good to me, brother.
So let's start with what I've been called:
1. Unregenerate
2. Catholic mystic endorser (just like A W Pink and C H Spurgeon)
3. Ecumenist
4. Decisional regeneralist
5. Crusade evangelist supporter
6. One who says a simple nod is good enough for salvation
7. Unrepentant
8. An excommunicated person
9. Charismatic
10. Universalist
11. Roman Catholic troll
...oh I could go on all night. It doesn't bother me none, but if someone wants to make amends, sure, go ahead and do it.

What a difference between Kev who confesses to contributing unworthily and apologises to all and sundry and John UK who waits to be apologised to forgetting that he has been the one who is constantly stirring, muddying, name calling etc.

Speak about mote and beam!

Amazingly godly response to UPS, NOT!

Okay, Ladybug, you asked for it, so you can have it. "Do all things without murmurings and disputings" (Philippians 2:14). As far as I can tell, you don't do anything EXCEPT dispute and defend yourself against imaginary slander, insults and borderline blasphemy. You are without a doubt one of the biggest crybabies I've ever encountered, and the little bit you know about doctrine would fit in a thimble with room left over for your pacifier. If you ever smiled--which I admit isn't likely--it would break every bone in your face and scare people to death. Now you run along and whine about the big bad playground bully, because I'm done with you. Adieu, hasta la vista, sayonara and so long.

I wouldn’t be too sure that is his position.

I have seen posts from him in the past where he has not just criticized cessationism, something he clearly doesn't understand, but insisted that the biblical position is continuism. And this all the time claiming to be a 1689 LBC adherant.

He has also more than just owned BG as God blessed. He has argued that BG preaches the gospel, and so he must accept that decisional regeneration is part of the true gospel. In fact in his posts where he speaks of the simplicity of the gospel and faith he has often argued for a simple nod to the gospel truth as being true conversion.

Nor has he condemned Graham for his ecumenism, because he would certainly have incurred the wrath of sweet southern gal Dolores and I'm sure that that would be the last thing he would want to do.

Frankly the man can say something today which he will flatly deny another. No wonder someone referred to him as Mr Jello!

....and as a Christian love the brethren very much.

Anyone who believes in biblical accountability will be jumped upon and castigated as trouble makers, unloving, not possessing the fruit of the spirit and wanting to impose their own views even if they make a biblical case. Attacking the messenger because the message is not acceptable is all the rage.

Sickening to read John UK's pious posts when he has not repented of his incivility to others. Such blatant hypocrisy also gets a free pass.
