And that is exactly what too many "Apostolics" do today-- they let the criticism of the world (which we know is mostly born out of ignorance and/or rebellion) bring into question if "we" are really right about this separation thing.

Just because some educated woman doesn't understand what Apostolic means, personally and scripturally, and just because she has come up with a definition based (most likely) on her refusal to ever adhere to such separation doesn't mean we are wrong. Ya' ever think SHE is wrong?


Disclaimer: I'm referring strictly to outward standards, as this is what the lady focused on. She is inwardly still not holy, so why would I (we) expect her to have anything but a skewed perception of what Apostolic is?

HI Danny isn't it a wonderful Saturday?

The sky is blue.

The birds in the backyard are singing.

And not a bad attitude any where near my place.

Now you have a great weekend.

God is Good.

:D

I believe that is also how most outsiders also think of conservative Oneness Apostolics. They look at them as folks that can't do this and that because of their strict religious beliefs. You're wrong if you think the world puts you on a spiritual pedestal.

That was the point of my last post. Too many Apostolics are giving in to the pressure of being "accepted" by the world, when that world doesn't have a clue why we live the way we do.

Do you think Paul REALLY cared what the world thought of him?

A good pastor friend recently declared to me ... similar words ... he's decided to make his church non-denominational while stile keep his credentials ... He said: Why should they have to carry this unnecessary yoke. I'll do it.
