We have been attending the Apostolic Church in our town (mostly my wife) now and then. We went today and I was really blessed. The worship started out intense and got better!
Several young ladies seem to have went up front I assume to pray the prayer of repentance. There was a tongues and interpretation which I sensed to be of the Lord calling the people to get out of the building and onto the streets!
At the end of this great time the Pastor said paraphrasing:
If you are here today and you have been blessed and you have questions about what you have seen here LOOK AROUND FOR SOMEONE EITHER WEARING A TIE.....OR HIGH HEELS AND ASK THEM ABOUT IT.
To which I thought :sad

That makes no sense... only Christians wear ties or high heels? I don't even understand what that statement was supposed to mean????

I took it to mean only men wearing ties could understand the move of the Spirit. The hi heel thing really threw me for a loop because I did not know that had become a "standard".

So in essence, don't talk to anyone about salvation unless they are wearing the church's high standard of clothing. Wow.

Is there any way this was a poor attempt at humor? The high heels thing is just weird, cause I've been to some churches where high heels were said to be for prostitutes, not women of God. Never knew it was a standard of holiness for some churches. :lol

Could it be that there were a plethora of visitors and the speaker just wanted to direct the quetioners not just to the "leadership" but to even the rooted and grounded members of the church?
I don't think he meant any harm by directing questioners to the guy in a tie or the woman in heels.

Don't you attend your Apostolic church on a regular basis any way?

I have been out of the mainline Churches since 1983. This is a desperate attempt on our part to have some inkling of fellowship.

Oh Im sure he meant well. It was just that..that is the kind of thing I have feared most about attending "Apostolic" Churches.

I would NOT say something about a Christian to put them in such a bad light if they had not said it themself so no its not an attempt at humor.

I think I remember you mentioning something like that before I just thought you meant non-Apostolic churches.
So what do you do for Christian fellowship and how do you unite with other believers on a menaingful level, consistently?

For many years I was part of the home Church movement. In more recent years I have been part of a fellowship on Paltalk a voice active forum. The small Apostolic group I fellowshipped with there disintegrated about a year ago. I still do teaching sessions there but not on a Church basis.
Since I moved to Ky 12 years ago we have not heard of any Apostolic home groups in our area so thats why we have been attempting to get in the mindset of going to a mainline Apostolic Church. For the moment no other options.
We did visit the AOG Church down the road for a while because we had similar end time beliefs but it was not enough to keep us there.

I never consider the end times beliefs for church attendance; rather, I tend
to look to their beginning: the gospel that saves.

Paul saw it a bit different.
1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thess 2:1-3
He wanted the Churches to teach salvation AND ALSO the post trib rapture. If you taught something else he said you were deceived.

It's hard to decide which bones you may be able to chew up real good and swallow, and which ones you just can't.

Mike I feel your pain,
But I just wonder what would have been?
IF that Canaanite woman would have worn her feelings on her shoulders the day she had a need.
Matthew 15:22-
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Submission to a man is very hard for women especially when they are mistreated. She didn't eat the meat and throw away the bones. She excepted all of what he saidand Somehow she showed faith in him by being humble and receiving the mistreatment, accepting who she was and received her miracle.

I thank you for your attempt to counsel me. If you think this is about "feelings" I dont hardly know how to respond. I truly do have a problem with submitting to men that Jesus warns me not to be deceived by. How about you?
This makes me want to gag, really.
Bump
