While I am closely associated with one that believes in the continualist position (my sister) I have had to really examine and re-examine my conviction on the issue. Until about 4 years ago, I was continualist in my understanding. I became a cessasionist out of a desire to verify the validity of Scripture. A couple of months back I became one of those continualist that Bart Barber described and I cannot pronounce words of.:>) <BR/><BR/>Having said that, I too believe that this fear that motivates the views do cut both ways. <BR/><BR/>Great words of wisdom. Keeps me diggin!<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>TimTim Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02909751217844312917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22575956.post-1160228240188589462006-10-07T08:37:00.000-05:002006-10-07T08:37:00.000-05:00Bart,Fair enough.
