If you do not know my history path in ministry let me keep it brief. My first stop was at a Pentecostal church. My second stop was at a Southern Baptist church. And my third and current stop is at a non-denominational church that leans more towards a charismatic church. All stops have taken place over a 4 1/2 year period, with my longest stay being at 12th Street Baptist church in Gadsden, Alabama. During this time my philosophies, doctrine, and theology have changed some but one thing has remained a constant. What has remained is tolerance. A tolerance that is positive in nature not negative. I guess if you put it positively it would be expressed with words like understanding, forgiving and considerate of others.
So when you try to figure out who's right about everything pertaining to the Bible throw up your hands as an act of surrender and know that God is.
Who cares if you're are right. Get connected to the body of Christ and move in the gifts God has given you and enjoy this life of Christianity.

I'm always reminded of John Wimber's travels with C.Peter Wagner as they went around visting and speaking at churches all over America. No matter where they were, no matter what the "style" of church, invariably Peter would lean over to John and say, "You know...if I lived in this town I would want to be a member of this church."
The beauty of the body....We tend to see it as humans....not as Christ see's. We look at structure, He looks at the heart.
Great post on your blog...
Blessing's on your continuing journey...

Forget the traditions of men. Stick
with the Holy Scripture. JESUS is right. You are following Him. He said, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed, and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free (John 8:31-32).
You are a JESUS man. As long as we follow Him, we can't go wrong. He will lead us in the right path all the way to heaven.
