I was asked to leave AMF for Apostolic Ministry

From the story I got from a UPCI pastor/uncle in S. Texas district who has been there 40 years now apparently it was Burr or Guidroz for the Texas DS position.

He believed in absolute pastoral authority and Guidroz taught in limited church democracy to put things up for vote.

That was the ostensible reason that was held out initially as their major bone of contention but it was really a personal thing between two guys going for a position who used it as cover for their fighting. Later there were added other things when he lost and decided to pull the ultra-cons with him in to the AMF.

I'm guessing it was more like you were bringing to much arogancy to the forum.

Your guess is wrong. The arrogance was on the part of others who sit all day on computers to spread hate and gossip about their own brothers who they can't get along with. The fact is - I am not in their little box and have Apostolic results every week. That is what they hate.
They can't get along with those that look and do and believe just like they are supposed too so how on earth would they get along with someone outside their box?
It is so easy to be critical from the bleachers!

... because it means you don't have to get up off that couch and do it yourself?

Attaboy, shag.

But you really need to have experienced that forum yourself to truly understand "arogancy." Read a "cut-and-paste" from a thread over "there."

I left without a fight and said Goodbye! So I thought that I might just stop by here and say hey tonight!
God bless you all - In JESUS NAME!

OH - And I even SHAVED to join them!!!!!!!!! NOT! LOL

remember what the bible says: You Lie You FRY

I am a member of AMF. Good forum, AtlantaBishop I must not be aware of your situation since you use an alias here.

Would you mind stating who you are?

[Jon Alfaro]

Nevermind... I figured it out on my own. You are Wayne Pugh.

[Jon Alfaro]

You were banned for no other reason other than the fact that a statement was made on YOUR behalf by one of YOUR friends who stated you were on "your way back to the apostolic path" which is confirmed by your statement on Facebook.

This is the quote as you said it. "Back in the Apostolic saddle again and I like it!" Bishop Wayne Pugh.


Those type of statements lead one to believe exactly as you have stated, making your way back to the apostolic way.

It seems you have had issues in times past with certain men on that forum but your interactions were on different forums.

I saw no one take jabs at your revival. It just didn't happen. The admin their banned you for your own sake seeing as you are just getting back in the apostolic saddle again and there seemed to be men in contention with you regarding your past stance on what appears to have been apostolic truths.

Please don't come here out of frustration and besmirch a good forum because of a disagreement with a few. God bless your revival and you ride "Back in the Apostolic saddle again and I like it!".

Bro. Chatum(A prominent AFF poster) post with us and we love him and his spirit. So be blessed but be factual please.
