I have no problem with him finding a good church. If you had read my previous posts you would see that I suggested that might be in order.
What I object to is you people who have walked away from church urging others to do the same.
You know that I like you and value your contributions to discussions on here but this type of advice to someone is acid and wrong.
As I have told you in times past you are not allowing the ministry of a pastor, teachers, etc to edify you as the bible says they are there to do. You have never responded to me about that when I point it out.
It is tragic all of you guys who have walked away are urging someone else in pain to do the same.
Whether it is at his current church or another one he needs godly counsel and love and to be lifted up. Not out there winging it on his own in an UNBIBLICAL path.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
