hi, i'm mark whittington, a creation~centered heretic, 55, single and currently celibate, "saved" @ age 14 southern baptist, Temple Oaks Baptist in Houston, TX, then "free-will," evangelical, charismatic, a short stint in prosperity gospel, i guess, with a side of messianic in there somewhere, oh...oneness pentecostal then-
-don't recall actually getting re-baptized though, hmm; not sure how i avoided that-
-but anyway, "spoke in tongues" (by way of Paul's "baby" account) while there, found out somehow that God is not out to punish us, but nourish us, not sure if the lack of Scriptural cohesion prevalent in the apostate church caused that or what, um, i guess it really happened the day i first heard an OP pastor disconnect those "who ate and drank at His table" from "you evildoers," right in front of God and everybody, in a sermon no less, and then witnessed "crowds amazed" later that day, in private reflection, so, i was kind of given a view of the counterfeit, tares tongues, and then tongues from the Word, to my mind, so that served to de-program me from OP, learned a lot there, though, root~wise, still go to one every now and then, just to ask a few uncomfortable questions-
-gotta bring the elderly parents, after all-
-so, i pretty much became just a backslidden apostate then, aged 20 or so, air navy, Patriotic Christian, did all the other dumb things, then, too, came back to Christ about ten years ago, picked it up @ OP again for a short time, discovered Matthew Fox, and became Creation~Centered about then, got led to Word about two weeks ago (on another forum), so, found Paul's "meeting Him in the air" experience, drunk on the distilled wine @ 9 am, pretty much been drunk since then, i guess...and ya, that's all i got.
ntmy guys! :D
