Again, it's not having money, I just don't believe that this who serve in the vocation of a minister, an humble servant, should be flashy. It's a horrible testimony to the world. And I'm not saying everyone has to hunch around like mother theresa either. I think the ministry in general (pentecost) has preached moderation in everything but lifestyle which leave the sinner scratching their heads

Yea
I have had preachers try to justify to me why them and others wore 2,000 to 3,000 suits and wore alligator shoes. Frankly, I can't see it. Jesus talked about animals having a place to rest and he didn't even have a place to lay his head. I can't see Jesus walking around like some do.

No real problem exists over the use of "The Name" in everthing else done in the Church. Why then should there exist great controversy over the use of the "The Name of the Godhead" in water baptism?
