The problem I have is that I lived there for 19 years and my father was a leader there for 16 years, and I have to say that even though it paints a nice picture, it is incorrect. If you care at all about finding out the truth about what really goes on, something other than Noah's opinion- I'd love to tell you because it hurts me to see Atlanta deceived. You can email me if you're interested at all. Johnddaniel27@gmail.com Hey Brit,

We have had relationship with them for a few years now, but we have our own church here in Atlanta. Of course I believe that Christians should be at peace whenever and wherever possible and forgive and receive one another as Christ has forgiven us. In regards to "excommunication," I do believe that it is a biblical response, but only in severe and extremely serious circumstances. Unrepentant sin of a serious and chronic nature, as listed in scripture as things like sexual perversion and greed, and someone splitting the church and causing contention over disputable matters or things that should be left to personal conviction. To me it is rare and something of a last resort to something serious and extreme. Peace. Well, to first clarify, we do not live at RCV and have never moved there and had that experience.

If so, I'm a bit jealous. Me and my family went there in ?2006 and I loved them deeply. We weren't "good enough" for them and I had depression problems. They never did like me much. So they like you? They won't ever talk to me again nor my family. I'm listening to Charles Stanley on forgiveness to make sure I forgive them totally. What is your belief on forgiveness and how christians should act toward one another? Do you believe in excommunication? If so, for what reasons should people be excommunicated?

It kind of reminds me of the India trip I tried to lead that didn't work out. Sometimes God gives us a desire, and we're faithful to it, then... nothing. At least from our human point of view. In the meantime, God is working. We're praying for the relationships and next steps, and I hope God blesses as you serve Him. I’m sorry to hear about that.

I've never really noticed the part where Paul says that he has "learned...to be content." It's neat that you brought that out. It just shows that he wasn't perfect and that he had to see through experience that God was going to take care of him no matter what. That was really good.
