Thad did you notice on the 1st song of their dvd; the drum shield falls over. The bass player attempts to grab it. Then a stage hand comes out to get and it comes apart.........kinda humerous.

[Esther]

Never heard of him.:thad

[Scott Hutchinson]

Ain't this guy a country singer who is on CMT ?

Are you in charge like the choir director, or are you a musician only?

[revrandy]

They're singing about you and yer complainin? :D

[Brother Price]

He works alot with so far as I know, only Apostolic churches. But, I could be wrong.

[BoredOutOfMyMind]

Thad, see if you can get Randy seats close to the front.

Let us know if he claps or even taps his toes..

[Monkeyman]

Man, you better git your dance moves down, his singers are NUTS! That is great man, you better represent!
I'll be praying for you!

We're doing "Bless The Lord" at Youth Convention so pray for us!!! he he

[Monkeyman]

Randy, stay off of Tribett, he's cool. You got other more important fish to fry. I wouldn't steer you wrong.

[ILG]

Never heard of him...

Me either.

[Michael Phelps]

Ty Tribbet is coming to our area next week . I got a call yesterday asking us to open for him ! ! ! Yikes! who could turn that down?? It certainly is nerve racking though !!!

Is he Oneness? Do they keep a standard?

[Monkeyman]

Is he Oneness? Do they keep a standard?
WHO CARES????? He gets to take an anointed apostolic choir and bring down some heaven. I would go if it was Metallica, some on here like to quote, "Go into all the world" well that doesn't stop at our comfort zones! If that's the case no one would have evangelized Oklahoma, he he he! (That one was for Randy)

[Thad]

Is he Oneness? Do they keep a standard?


Ty Grew up in... I forget the name of the organization but it's apostolic and they believed in Veils for the women. as far as their standards, No and i know very vew Black churches that do anymore. The church that is sponsoring this event is pastored by Bishop Stalworth, same organization that Ty Grew up in in Phila,Pa. this church keeps the standards and also requires hari coverings for women

[Thad]

Thad,

I looked at his schedule and CA was not on it anywhere! Is this an off calendar performance?

umm, i don't know really. I do know he is out here from time to time mostly in Los angeles so they must do some stuff off schedule??

donald Lawrence was just in L.A with his choir and i noticed it was not on his schedule from his website so maybe this is the norm

[Thad]

Man, you better git your dance moves down, his singers are NUTS! That is great man, you better represent!
I'll be praying for you!

We're doing "Bless The Lord" at Youth Convention so pray for us!!! he he

thanks I know hu ! lol I have seen him in person before it's Crazy!
we are not even going to be Ty we would look foolish. They tell me your brother has been advertising/talking about the concert on his radio show

[Thad]

Thad, see if you can get Randy seats close to the front.

Let us know if he claps or even taps his toes..


randy has become an old Dud!

[CC1]

What is a Tribbett? Tribbles I know, but not Tribbetts.

My post is TIC, Monkeybrains:thad

Just kidding with you, but I was bringing out a point. Many on here would crucify others for fellowshipping with, preaching for, or having someone preach for them who didn't follow standards. I was just asking.

[revrandy]

okay, no prob.
we constantly have stuff going on. we have rehearsal till 10:30pm tonight

tomorrow our choir is singing out of town our pastor is preaching for a youth conference and we are doing a concert afterwards.

[Brett Prince]

Thad,

I surely don't blame you for being excited. But, can you see why your church gets the flak it gets from the cons? You are going to do a concert with someone that you obviously have differences with in doctrine and standards. They consider him to be little less or little more than an entertainer. I can guarantee that cons question his lifestyle all the way around. We tend to get characterized by the circle we run in.

I'm not saying don't do it. As a matter of fact, while I don't know all the ins and outs, I'm pretty certain you SHOULD do it...I'm just saying that these kinds of things are part of what is driving problems between factions. They see this as almost traitorous to "real" Apostolics.

Wrrrrrrrrrrrong wrong wrong! First, we don't "Run" with these people! we don't even know them! do you know what they believe?
This is a paid concert not a fellowship. It's the business and in this business, the Music business, you just sing your songs and minister. what they do is on them.

What is soooo hard to understand about, "Go ye into all the world"???????
I can hear some AFFer now talking to Christ...."Don't go there", "How would that look"?? "You're leaving your own" "You will offend someone" "How dare you go to that wedding celebrations and make wine!!" "How dare you minister to that harlot who has had many men" "don't associate with those SINNERS" why they don't even have the right hairbun, their sleeves are too short, they look like the world, sound like the world, act like the world.....isn't that the world Christ spoke about?

About 3 hours late responding to this...but it may have already been dealt with.

This is one of the most ridiculous statements I have heard. I guess using this logic, you really should not work for someone who holds a different doctrinal view than you. You really should not mix with other family members who hold different doctrinal views. For surely, in your day to day live, you around people who don't quite share all that you believe to be true.

This mentality puts a real arrogant approach as "You are not worthy to be ministered by what we have." I guess that "little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine" refers to the church and those of like-precious faith.

The background to this story is that Thad and his choir tore it up at CLC at their music conference. The promoter of the concert happened to be present at that meeting and felt the presence of God so strong that she asked them...with 2 weeks notice...that they needed to open for Tye Tribbitt. Thad's choir MINISTERS....even in concerts. I have been to 2 concerts that his choir has ministered in...and the concert changed to church. May the group that comes to the concert that night...feel a difference they never have before.

[SoCaliUPC]

Cool!
BTW, i know someone who tried to Bring Fred out- he charges $75,000 for a concert! YIKES

Thanks for that.

Good post. Socali, I understand the line of thinking.
i think that many folk think if you sing outside of our church
that you will go the way of TBN. that may have been true at one
time but time and things have changed. There is a new generation that is singing in different venues and NOT changing.

[SoCaliUPC]

Thanks for that.

You got that right.

I guess some people just are not grounded in the faith...and unshakeable in their doctrine like what you and I were brought up. I guess everyone needed a David Gray and a Bill Yandris to lay a firm foundation that is unshakeable. If someone is worried that by singing at an event with Tye Tribbitt or Gaithers or this person and that person, and it is THAT which will send you the (overused term) "way of TBN"....I would call their foundation very weak. You have been to many non-UPC events and look....you are still doctrinally sound. Haven't changed. I have been to non-UPC events....I'm still doctrinally sound. We have both sang for non-UPC people....and look....still doctrinally sound. If a singing event is going to change someone's doctrine and beliefs....they never had it to begin with.

i think that's right. I know a CON pastor who sung at for Brooklyn Tab a few years back . I didnt hear one complaint. you see, UPC likes their music.

[ThePastorsCoach]

Thad - It is an incredible compliment to you and your crew to be invited to front for TT!
I am impressed - with you - not with him! LOL

If we really believe what we say we do - why do we keep it all inside our four walls! Maybe someone should read the Great Commission! GO - Into all the world! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm What a novel idea!

Thad - Thanks for being an Apostolic Influence to many thousands that would never know or hear or be influenced in any way otherwise.

I commend you - you really believe what you say you do!

I have a UPC friend - that was asked this week to play and travel with a MAJOR guy that has MAJOR influence!
. I cannot say much more that that - but people are gonna be talkin'! LOL

You kinda have me wondering...

Did you READ ALL that I posted?

Did you note that I said Thad OUGHT TO DO IT?

Did you note that I said the UCs of CA would feel this way?

I understand your difference with them on this. I differ with them for a DIFFERENT reason than you.

Please make sure that you don't ascribe what they hold to me, because my post clearly delineates what I think about what Thad should do, from what I think the UCs will think of it.

I was making an observation--not a declaration.

Guess I'm a little testy, as Thad seemed to take the position that I agreed with the UCs. NOT the case, at least THIS time. :D

[Old Paths]

Another "concert" that I won't make.

Did you note that I said Thad OUGHT TO DO IT?

Did you note that I said the UCs of CA would feel this way?

I understand your difference with them on this. I differ with them for a DIFFERENT reason than you.

Please make sure that you don't ascribe what they hold to me, because my post clearly delineates what I think about what Thad should do, from what I think the UCs will think of it.

I was making an observation--not a declaration.

Guess I'm a little testy, as Thad seemed to take the position that I agreed with the UCs. NOT the case, at least THIS time. :D

Did I read everything you said...YES.
Did I see where you said he ought to do it...YES.

I think the issue here is what all the Ultra Cons in this state/district think of everyone else. Frankly, I don't care. No matter if you did everything right...you are still not "one of them" and will never "measure" up. Your post was more of ...do you see why they feel this way about your church. This one incident has nothing to do with what they think about his church. It is because his pastor is not one of the CONS. I've said it before...and I will say it again...if one is not part of the VM or NW camp....they are the talk of the district and that is it.

I understand your point. However, I have always considered Sam Emory to be a con. I feel sorry for those that look down on him. He is one of our finest. Although he would not ascribe to this, when I think of GT Haywood, and others of that caliber among our black ministers, I put Sam Emory right there with any of them. He is indeed, one of our finest...any color, any nationality, any click, he's in the top tier IMO.

Unlike you, I view Sam Emory to be just Sam Emory. He is neither, lib, con, or UC. If I had to place him on a spectrum from liberal to Ultra Con...he would be a moderate. However, in California....that means you are going down the slippery slope.

I count Sam Emory as a top preacher....regardless of color.

we would not go if it was not first approved. if you have an issue with it, you're welcome to give him a call. I am thankful that i have a pastor that Trust us as mature saints knowing we are not going to flip out and go off the deep end. you don't have to feel sorry for him Bret. He knows who he is and where he stands.

Thad has an awesome church.....check out the services online for a while. Then scratch your head and wonder why some UC's think they need to get as many people saved in that church as possible. Unbelievable!

Thad, ONCE AGAIN, you have misread my post and put words in my mouth.

I said I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IT. I said the Ultra Cons would!

I didn't say I felt sorry for Bro. Emory. I said I felt sorry for those who look down on him.

Now, Thad, stop ascribing the exact opposite to me from what I said. Why are you doing this?

okay fine. I don't have an issue with the UCs not allowing their church to sing at a concert or such. That's their right. now, if they can't respect our Right or decide to break rank as a result that is their perogative too. honestly Bret, I don't think our pastor cares really so don't feel sorry for him. when you know who you are & what you believe, when you reach a certain age, you do what is best for your church. I think my pastor is conservative. he is conservative on the message. our music has more of a gospel influence which differs from the taste of many UCs. because of this many UCs tend to think it is wrong because it is out of the zone that they are comfortable with. I know this and have dealt with it on many levels.

I know a UPC group that has opened or sung on the same concert circuit of Major southern Gospel artist yet they still sing in some Con churches out here. Ot me, it's just a concert. it's not a place we are going to receive Doctrine or reproof

Thad. It would just help me alot if you would realize that I am not feeling sorry for your pastor. I am feeling sorry for those who look ill at him. I also am trying to make you realize that I am AGREEING with you on the concert, and DIFFERING with the UCs. I am also agreeing with your take on the UCs on this one. It seems that you have me all backwards.

Now that rocks!!!!

Tye Tribbet is great.... I listen to his music all the time.... and my 4 year old goes around singing his stuff!!! I laughed histerically watching one of his videos... he's so skinny it's funny to watch him "dance" or move what ever you want to call it.

So, ya gonna do it then? Hmm... Hey, how much does it pay???? Or do you get a lot of fame by doing this??????

Now that's cool because you're there to minister and ya still have fun! I like it. I don't have a prob with it.... ya know, I find it funny that we should go to the highways and byways to minister, but when it really comes down to it, lots of people think that the lost should come to us.... Go for it Thad and be a witness!

[SoCaliUPC]

Amen!!
