***It’s not ad hominem to call out the schoolyard bully for being s bully. ***

Bully? Anyone who has ever listened to a preacher on the radio can spot a CofC bully immediately, like V.E.Howard, by their on air arrogance (My friends, are you listening?) and their preaching of “WE are right, and YOU are going to hell!”

Like the Cheyenne Dog soldiers they drive their stake of “Baptismal Regeneration” into the ground and ALL their doctrines revolve around it.

If a person comes to Christ and follows the Lord in baptism, THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH! The Campbellite demands it be specifically “for remission of sin!

When I pointed out to a Campbellite preacher that the Eastern Orthodox immerse believers, he said it was correct.
Then I asked if they were saved and would he would call the Orthodox brothers in Christ and he said “NO!”

Why? HE said, “They weren’t baptized by a CofC preacher!”

Alexander Campbell was truly good man. I have read a number of his documents, including his criticism of Mormonism (the first ever recorded).

His stances should not have been something divisive, but instead, unifying.

From Wikipedia (because my prior major source from Newfoundland could not be easily identified):

The Restoration Movement has been characterized by several key principles:

Christianity should not be divided, Christ intended the creation of one church.[7]:38[13]

Creeds divide, but Christians should be able to find agreement by standing on the Bible itself (from which they believe all creeds are but human expansions or constrictions)[14]

Ecclesiastical traditions divide, but Christians should be able to find common ground by following the practice (as best as it can be determined) of the early church.[15]:104–6

Names of human origin divide, but Christians should be able to find common ground by using biblical names for the church (i.e., "Christian Church", "Church of God" or "Church of Christ" as opposed to "Methodist" or "Lutheran", etc.).[8]:27

Thus, the church 'should stress only what all Christians hold in common and should suppress all divisive doctrines and practices'.[16]

A number of slogans have been used in the Restoration Movement, which are intended to express some of the distinctive themes of the Movement.

[17] These include:

"Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where the Scriptures are silent, we are silent."[18]

"The church of Jesus Christ on earth is essentially, intentionally, and constitutionally one."[18]

"We are Christians only, but not the only Christians."[18]

"In essentials, unity; in opinions, liberty; in all things love."[17]:688

"No creed but Christ, no book but the Bible, no law but love, no name but the divine."[17]:688

"Do Bible things in Bible ways."[17]:688

"Call Bible things by Bible names."[17]:688

Can you tell us which of these is inherently wrong to encourage? This is the sum of what you call "Cambellite."
