AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

I received the following in a email.


Dear Apostolic Brethren,

Since its inception in 1968, the Apostolic Minister’s Fellowship has provided a unique home for a Truth-loving, Holiness-minded, and clean five-fold ministry. Before delving further into who we are, please allow me to explain who we do not pretend to be. First, our Fellowship is not made up of perfect men. However, we affirm our belief in God’s proven method of anointed Bible teaching and preaching to save all them that believe (1 Corinthians 1:21). Also, unlike some other groups, we have never falsely claimed to be the Body of Christ in its entirety. We are merely striving to preserve and one day present to Christ a Church without spot or wrinkle. In doing so, we will retain our distinction as a true Apostolic people with the glory of God in our midst.

The Apostolic Minister’s Fellowship is formed as an “Equal Brotherhood” of ministers of like precious faith. Local assemblies are recognized as sovereign and autonomous units under the headship of their individual Pastor without the fear of any encroachments being made to restrict this God granted liberty. We remain committed to accept men of God solely on the basis of life, doctrine, and integrity. The AMF pledges to its members not to deprive them of a single right or privilege of liberty granted to them in the Word of God. Our objective continues to be not to divide, but rather unify brethren who share a common conviction to hold fast the “Old Paths” message while at the same time sharing a consuming passion to bring the message of Acts 2:38 Bible salvation to as many possible through our committed foreign and home missionaries.

It is with joy and great anticipation that we announce the 40th year Anniversary Conference of the Apostolic Minister’s Fellowship. Plans are now being made to enjoy a great celebration of forty years of proclaiming liberty and Truth. Regardless of your affiliation you, your family, and congregation are invited to come and enjoy this great time of worship, teaching and preaching, and good solid Apostolic fellowship. We anticipate a “reunion” like spirit as former leadership and even former members are urged to make plans to attend. Above all, it is our desire to give Christ, the Head of His Church, the glory for allowing us to be a small part of what He is doing in the earth just prior to His Blessed Appearing! Lord willing, we will see you at Shelbyville, Indiana at Apostolic Tabernacle on August 5th, 6th, and 7th for a great time of spiritual refreshing!

Yours In Christ,

Robert Cavaness, Chairman

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

This statement is downright fruity.

NO ecclesiastical body is going to present a church without spot or wrinkle.

Jesus Christ is going to present the Church to HIMSELF.

Sheesh...these people are whacked.

Ephesians 5:27
"That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

I truly believe this is a freudian slip.

Many ultracons unwittingly substitute rules in place of Christ's Spirit.

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

Preserve a church?

I didn't know it was dead.

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

Seemingly contradictory when he stated earlier in the letter they weren't perfect men....

How can imperfect men produce perfection??

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

I recieved an invitation...do you think they want me to preach for them????? lol...

I love some of the people that belong but hate the spirit that is so judgmental...

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

Might they be referring to Colossians 1:28 "Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:"?

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

Isn't this somewhat the same thing?

Not being disrespectful Sis. Alvear just asking....

Folks can change without us knowing until later...

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

Amen... Truthfully you can still read it into the letter somewhat...imo...

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

yes that is true...are you a member or a part of it? We do fellowship some of those people I did not mean no harm just joking about me preaching...since they do not believe in women in ministry...no harm intended.

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

No I am not a member... I liked your joke..but read something into the post that wasn't there...sorry...:tissue

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

They recently had a slew of their top men

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

They probably have 2-3 preachers in mind. Their probably just making sure of everyones schedule. If you called the Elder, in a couple weeks, he'd probably tell you who's gonna preach.

Re: AMF Celebrates 40 Years / Letter From Chairman
 

That's because you already did and got in hot water for it, bubba.
