Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

He looks like he could be the host of some generic "talent" show. LOL

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Ya, the introduction was wild enough with the electrified hair-do, didn't last much longer watching past that.

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

You guys are a tough crowd! :heeheehee

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Oh...now that'd be funny! A preaching contest type show... Apostolic Idol! They could get makeovers complete with stand-on-end hairdos... and we could text vote! :heeheehee

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

:heeheehee yep....we are! :nod

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

as for the "preacher".... :throwrock:throwrock I noticed they "disabled" the comments for both videos.....geezzzzz.....wonder why????? I do!!!! :nod

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Doesn't the Lighthouse Church of All Nations baptize in the titles?! *gasp*

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Good question......but I have never heard of this church and have no idea what denomination they may be~

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

:heeheehee

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

They have a TV SHOW!!!! :faint

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

*sigh*

Listen, there has been enough credibility lost that I find it difficult to sit through any TB video.

That said, I really don't like this thread and where it's probably headed. I don't like the idea of kicking a dog when he's down.

Is there a good reason for posting the videos? Are we meant to like it? Or are we meant to critique, pick apart and possibly make fun?

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

I sincerely doubt it.....Pastor DW was formerly UPCI and still has a strong UPCI connection. He could have changed, but I doubt that.

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Things may have changed: From their doctrine

The Salvation of Man. The grace of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men, through the preaching of repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ; man is saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, and being justified by hope of eternal life. (Titus 2:11; Romans 10:13-15; Luke 24:47; Titus 3:5-7)

The Evidence of Salvation. The "inward" evidence to the believer of His salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit. (Romans 8:16) The "outward" evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness.

Repentance. All persons who turn from their sins and put their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ receive a new birth by which their life is regenerated through the power of God. (John 3:3-6; Titus 3:5). This gives them power to be witnesses for Jesus Christ.

Baptism in Water. The ordinance of Baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures, by all who have really repented and in their hearts have truly believed in Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they have the body washed in pure water as an outward symbol of cleansing, thus they declare to the world that have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 10:47, 48; Romans 6:4; Acts 20:21; Hebrews 10:22)

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Pretty sure he baptizes in Jesus name.

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

There's nothing here to indicate they baptize in the titles.

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

There is. The fact that Matthew 28:19 is mentioned and Acts 2:38 is absent implies that they do.

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

If nothing else it seems as if they don't consider it a requirement for Salvation. :bigbaby

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Oh...you may be right. It wasn't a red flag for me, because our church doesn't avoid Matthew 28:19 like the plague--like so many other OP churches do. :rolleyes2

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

What DW believes aside, obviously their doctrinal statement would be a lot more "watered down" than what TB formerly espoused. Which was the point of the mention, I believe....

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

True dat!!!

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

The winner would get a big ol Lincoln and a ""Pastor Only" parking spot for LIFE!". :)

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

The preacher spends several minutes talking about why their congregation is special because they are baptized in Jesus Name.

Yes, this church baptizes in Jesus Name.

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

UH-OH... don't know anything about all that... I just thought the hairdo was really weird on someone over 15 or not in a punk-rock band.:heeheehee

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Is this a new trend that hasn't reached the midwest??:heeheehee

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

I think Pastor DW was PAW. Here is their statement of faith.

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

No. Ex UPC.

His brother pastors a really good church in Jersey Village.

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

There is a really good church in Jersey Village?

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Do Oneness churches avoid Mt 28:19? Seems to me this is a foudational verse for Oneness believing Jesus is the name of the Father, Son and Spirit

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Can anything good come from Jersey City?

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

It has been my experience with the UPCI churches I have attended that Mt 28:19 is avoided.

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Aww, c'mon y'all! That minister's PHH (Praying Hands Hair) ain't nearly as distracting as this'n 's hair...(fwd to about 0:57)

And just guess which one will become a multi-millionaire first...

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

How many did you attend and for how long? Of all the thousands of verses in the bible why does a UPC have to regularly mention every verse but Trinitarian churches get a pass?

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

Good point. In the (few) thousands of OP sermons I have heard, (UPC and PAW) Mat.28:19 received at least proportionally fair treatment.

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

7 of them in different regions even areas of the world. Off and on for the last 16 years, some I was a member, and some I visited fairly consistently.

I am not saying Trinitarian churches get a pass bro. What I am saying is that OP's appear to avoid that particular scripture as far as sermons.

I also stand by my assertion that Trinitarians often appear to avoid quoting Isaiah 9:6 in its entirety, as it appears in the KJV and NIV.

My statements are based on my observations, my experiences.

Feel free to disagree.

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

I don't know that I've noticed it, or if I just haven't paid attention, but do Trinitarians also avoid Acts 2:38?

Re: Memphis Pastor video!
 

I have quoted Matthew 28:19 on occasion when preaching. I have also heard it used several times. I would not say that it is avoided, but many times may not be applicable to the general purpose of the message. Threre are many other verses for baptism that I am finding that I would also like to see used more often.
