White's debate model represents a strain of antogonism that plays on popular fear used by ambitious pastors who toil away to increase personal influence at any cost. Naturally, a small following has coallesed around his 'ministry'. <br /><br />On the other hand, it may be that James White is merely trying to follow in the footsteps of the early sectarian congregations by emphasising the soteriological and eschatological realities that call for a heightened need for the type of cultic separation that the Gospel stresses.<br /><br />It is hard to say whether he is addressing a real need or stressing a dangerous sectarian identification that has often resulted in the persecution of the church. <br /><br />Either way, he incessantly protrays himself as the necessary victor over any opponent, sole arbiter of any rule or tradition and the ad hoc victim of his critics.Lothair Of Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500837155446550672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7075511948303765981.post-31240093048594298322010-07-22T10:40:14.988-04:002010-07-22T10:40:14.988-04:00Was the first discussion ever recorded?
