3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

More twisting of scripture ... one would have to now accept that your man-made standards are THE GOSPEL ....

its become more and more clear that a segment of the Apostolic community ... led by men of the cloth ... do not know what the Gospel really is .....

I know this was from a movie and that love in that movie didn't mean the kind of love God wants us to have BUT:

What the World needs now is LOVE, Sweet Love - no, not just for some but for every, every, everyone.

THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE LOVE IN ACTION - not long dresses, long sleeves, and a list of rules a mile long!

Come on.

The Gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I don't know any Apostolic preacher who doesn't know that.

CS,

OP used a verse about the gospel being hid in context to a conversation about the extrabiblical doctrine of dress standards ... perhaps your indignation and vexation should be directed at him ...

I'm sure your reminder of what the Gospel is ... will serve OP well.

Not to suggest or question that your statement is not correct, rather to say that it is not entirely correct....

The WHOLE gospel consists of those elementary principles which comprise the "doctrine of Christ":

1. Repentance from dead works
2. Faith toward God
3. Baptisms
4. Laying on of hands
5. Resurrection of the dead
6. Eternal judgment

Everything else are merely variations and/or components of these fundamental elements.

At least that is my humble opinion, for whatever its worth.

As I was saying ....
