I listened to this message some time ago a couple of times. As for me, I think Bunyan had the right attitude and spirit about this matter. Twelve years in prison could teach a man a lot about love, mercy, forgiveness and thankfulness unto God which is evident by the writings of Bunyan especially "the Pilgrims Progress". While I am a baptist with a little "b", I am not about to argue and break fellowship with a brother in Christ over a secondary issue that has no bearing on salvation whatsoever. I know some of the brethren from both sides of this issue make disagree but I think Bunyan had it right. God bless you all.
