<P>Mikie,</P>
<P>It was good to hear from you. I appreciate your kind words, but I really don't mind the confrontation -I actually welcome it. I will admit, it is always nice when people are respectful and intelligent with their responses, but it is only fair that I give them a chance to voice their opinion to and about me. I have been plain with my speech and have not held back from preaching the truth, even when it was very strong, to the point of offense. I think it fair that anyone that desires to speak their mind about me, and what I say, be welcome. </P>
<P>People need to know the truth of God's Word. I have been mandated by heaven to preach the truth, which also entails exposing false doctrine. If you and I disagree, someone is right and someone is wrong. If I am wrong, I would appreciate someone loving me enough to withstand me to the face, even as Paul did Peter in Galatians chapter 2. If I teach something that is unscriptural, and you can prove it is wrong, it is only right of you to show me and everyone else the truth. </P>
<P>I am very grateful to you for your concern, but I think the open forum is the perfect place for constructive, heartfelt, sincere debate. Especially when it comes to doctrines such as Snake Handling, Holy Ghost or Nothing, Jesus Only, and Eternal Security. The only thing I ask is that people take the debate to the discussion board as opposed to the guest book.</P>

<P>God Bless, </P>
