Unfortunately Drummerboy.. it's too late for that. :toofunny Nobody will believe you now.

I like AFF and I like the new forum. One for apostolics to fellowship and one for apostolic preachers. I think we need both of them.

Just preachers???

What does Scripture say? That these men are worth of double honour and respect. So you ought to think about that before you describe them as "just" anything. They've been called and chosen to a very serious calling, purpose and responsibility that the average person cannot begin to understand.

I'll excuse the comment to unintended ignorance on your part.

Careful - - that's what they are calling themselves - - the name of the forum is justpreachers.com

Yes, but they're using 'just' in the sense of 'exclusively' preachers. Not "just" preachers in the sense that they aren't more important than anybody else or that they shouldn't be given a position of respect and honour.

There's no higher calling.

one for Apostolics to fellowship and one for apostolic preachers or those that think they are preachers to do what?

And why do we need both of them particularly closed to outsiders? just curious

Actually it says
1Ti 5:17 Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.

I teach bible studies....how many sunday school teachers that never thump behind a pulpit will be there? Or elders?

I was invited and I don't hold a licence... I teach Bible studies and my husband preached and will again one day I'm sure.
But I think the purpose, my friend, is to keep those who would come in and stir up things making it an unpleasant place, from coming in. .

That, to me, makes a whole pile of sense. Preachers, Pastors, all deal with junk every day. If they want a forum where they can just hang with some others in their profession.. they deserve it.

Some days when I read posts on here, I wonder if that isn't the way to go. But then I'd miss the fellowship I get here most days.. in spite of the negative

And yes, elders, those who labor in preaching and teaching are due honor. I think that jaded eyes have a hard time seeing past the man to the preacher nowadays. We've been hurt too many times. But God knows there are still many many Good men who are worthy of esteem and honor and respect.
