With what? What are you trying to prove? Just curious!

Because, edjen, it doesn't matter how "spiritual" people seem to be--if they are preaching another Gospel, then we are not to accept it.

We are not to be pleasers of men!!! We are servants of Christ--not men. It is for the good of men to know what constitutes disobedience, so they can correct it, and choose to obey God's commandments.

We rob people of salvation and freedom when we try to be politically correct. We're so afraid that they won't like what they hear that we're willing to let them go to hell instead?

Paul's gospel has a lot to do with a lot of things. I find your question rather surprising.

Ah but we Do know the lives...you told us. They are gay. That is all we need to know. If you asked about an Adulterous church, we'd have the same conclusion because of what the bible says

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Re: Gay apostolics?

Well I'm wondering what do we do with the L W's ? We sing their songs in our churches, but we won't have them in our midst. Seems almost like a double standard (?).

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but..............

If you won't allow someone on the platform to sing because they trim their hair or wear a touch of make-up, why would it be ok to allow them on the platform when you know they are openly gay?

That doesn't mean they aren't welcome in your worship services. I can come to your services with my short hair and make-up and even in slacks. Most of you would welcome me with open arms. And then pray that God would get ahold of me and shake those things out of me. I can chuckle when I say that, but you know it's true. LOL. So if you can welcome someone else who does not live the lifestyle you believe in, surely you could also welcome someone who lives the gay lifestyle. That does NOT mean you would give them a position of authority - absolutely not. But surely you would welcome any sinner.

I understand. I'm just wondering what do we do with the L W's in it all. We sing their songs in our churches, but we refuse to have them in our midst. Seems to me almost like a double standard (?).

And I agree!!

We should show them love but not accept them as Apostolics until they repent and surrender to God.
