Anyone who speaks out against Elder Epley to indicate that he don't believe the message or that he is leaning toward ecumenicalism is just out of their mind. Elder Epley is a conservative, he is very conservative. I have said things about conservatives not being kind but from everything I have ever seen from EE he is a real christian and kind to everyone even if he disagrees.
Is this an "ultra conservative" bash party? Maybe we should talk about the many problems among the "liberals" who want to tear down holiness (just to be fair!)?
Just a thought. I know I'm a newbie but I had to say it.
Of course he has company.
Among the Apostolic folks there is great diversity.
We don't agree among ourselves on what words to say when a person is baptized in water.
We don't agree among ourselves on how a person is born again.
We don't agree among ourselves when we discuss/explain the Godhead.
We don't agree among ourselves on use of television and/or the internet.
We don't agree among ourselves on facial hair on men.
We don't agree among ourselves on hair length for men or women.
We don't agree among ourselves on how long sleeves should be, or how long hemlines should be, or whether we can play softball, or whether ladies can wear any kind of a garment that is divided for the legs.
Etc. etc. ad nauseum.
In the referenced article the author said
"...We as the Apostolic Church do not need to back down on what we've stood for so long. It's still Jesus Name baptism or it's hell! It's still Holiness or it's hell! It's still Holy Ghost or it's hell! and the Trinitarians are NOT our brothers, that will never change! They do not serve the same God we do!..."
That can't be said to be a typical Apostolic opinion. It represents the opinion of a few but not of the whole group. We are too diverse to be limited that way.
