This new pastor is all swell for about a year. Then he begins to preach theat cut hair is OK tatoo's are OK.
Just say the "Sinner's prayer" and you'll be saved.
Baptism is OK if you want to , otherwise it's not necesary.
This new pastor has not invested dollar one in this assembly, the membership is very upset with this new fangled teaching.
BUT Br Phelps thay are to be quiet or just walk away from the church THEY built ACCORDING to YOU and give it over to this PASTOR just because he is part of the five fold ministry?????
This pastor on a clergy class pedastal thing we have going today came out of the Catholic Church. it was not a part of the NT church.....they ALL were fellow laborers in the kingdom of God.

Interesing scenario.
What is your suggestion? That they vote him out?
I suppose that is one human way of looking at it.
But, what did they do in Bible times? Did God ever allow a nation to overthrow a wicked king who was living on the donations of the people?
Did God ever sanction a New Testament assembly to "vote out" or "Run out of town on a rail" a pastor?
I agree with you that it's a tremendous injustice when the above situation happens, and I have stated for the record repeatedly that I do NOT agree with a pastor doing this.
However, my position boils down to one simple question:
WHAT IS THE BIBLICAL WAY OF DEALING WITH THIS????????
I don't want your opinion, I want some scripture.
