A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

First United Pentecostal Church in Jacksonville, Florida has set up a sales website to market used ties worn by anointed Apostolic preachers. The stated goal of the campaign is to raise money for missions.

Here's a link to a highly anointed tie worn by none other than David K. Bernard.

The current bid is $55 but you can own it today for the low price of $500! Seriously, $500 is a bargain for that level of anointing.

Here is a link to an anointed tie worn by none other than Home Missions Director, Carlton Coon! This tie is authenticated 100% anointed by Elder Coon's signature.

This next tie comes to us from none other than highly anointed former AFF owner and founder, Doug White. Doug is really behind this sale and went through a lot to make this tie available. He's gone all out and tied the tie himself! This gives life to the old saying "See my tie, I tie my tie!"

Th Jacksonville Church seems to really be onto something.

What's next, magic underwear?

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

They are trying to raise money for missions. They aren't selling prayer answering hankies. I don't see the problem.

What are you doing to raise money for foreign missions?

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

5 years down the road:

"What do you have for me young man."

"I have this tie worn by none other than David K. Bernard!"

"Do you want to pawn it or sell it."

"I'd like to sell it."

"What are you thinking of getting for it.:

"I would like $1000."

"Only if it had sweat from Elvis on it son. . . . "

Chumlee: "Who is David K. Bernard?"

Old Man: "I have no idea Chum."

Weren't Nathaniel Urshan's shoes auctioned at a conference?

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

How did this? I live in Jacksonville.

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

Yeah...how?

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

Man this is my home city, how did I miss this? I am so out of the loop :happydance

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

Just think!!! navygoat1998, if you had known about it you could have taken them one of your ties! :heeheehee

Been Thinkin

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

BTW, this church is in Jacksonville NC NOT Jacksonville FL

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship

Apalling. Idolatry.

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

Why not just give freely? Autographed ties, really? What's the motivation to give, because one loves souls or because you can get celebrity memorabilia. I'd expect it at the Dallas Cowboys game, not in the church of the living God.

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

Would y'all believe this lowly GIB preacher was asked for a neck tie and I forgot I got to send it to them.

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

I would have sent them a couple of nickels for one of you sweaty neck tie from a Holy Ghost hollering, tongue talking services. Maybe the anointing would bring to my knees and show me the error of my ways.........probably not. :heeheehee

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

to make it fun?

Do they sell peanut brittle at Cowboys games?

Glad Independent Biblethumper?

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

I still have my UPC uniforms hanging in the closet in my office in case I need to break them out and put them on and become Super Pentecostal again. Glory! :happydance

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

Good old independent boy. My dad was a GIB when I was younger. He Was mentored by H Richard Hall.

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

It's a fun idea for a fundraiser. Nowhere on that website does it reference the ties being "highly anointed" or say anything that looks like hero worship. FYI, one of the ties listed belonged to a NC congressman.

:rolleyes2

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

While most of the church world has gone casual dressing up in suits and ties is still a big part of old time Pentecost culture so I don't have a problem with this as long as they are not presenting the ties like Ruth Reider Harvey Har Har does uncut hair. Which is as some sort of magical token.

I think for men who dress up a lot it is cool for them to be able to bid on a tie worn buy someone they admire as a way to raise money for a good cause.

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

I suppose on that note I would more than gladly wear a tie that was once worn by Harrison Ford.

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

I bet the sandals of peter would have brought a pretty penny into the coffers of the early church. Pauline peanut brittle would be a great money maker too.

Jesus said His church would be built upon monetary gimmickry, didn't he?

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

Even the early church needed money. Stuff costs money.

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

Why did the early church need money?

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

Because things liek food cost money. Helping the poor and orphans wasn't free. Perhaps you missed when Paul wrote to the other churches saying he was in need and they took a collection for him. Prolly cost money to travel to new lands on missions, both for Paul and the others.

Really...what didn't, or still doesn't, cost money? Even if you only meet in homes there is still cost somewhere that must be paid for by either the host alone or the church as a whole.

Pickers


Hey Mike, you’re not gonna believe what I found.

Yo. Frank, what is it? A 16th century vase? Somethin from the Ming Dynasty?

No, man, this is something’ even more valuable. Man, I’ve always wanted one of these.

For, cryin out loud, Frank, not another antique toy truck.

No… wait, let me dig it out. Okay, got it.

Ouch!… good work Frank, You just knocked that pile of worthless cloths over on me.


Worthless? You call this worthless?

Its just a cheap tie.

No it ain’t. This is a Lee Stoneking original. He wore it the night he preached “Magic Holy Hair”.

Really? Are you sure? How do you know?

I’ve seen the video and he was wearin’ this same tie. Besides , can’t ya feel the “nointin’ on it? Man we gotta have this….. Its priceless.

Com’on, Frank, don’t act too excited. They’ll jack up the price. Call Danielle and see if we can get it in the Jacksonville auction. Offer ‘em ten bucks for it.

What a blatantly false, misleading, irresponsible, and slanderous thread.

As was mentioned, nowhere is it mentioned or even insinuated that these ties are anointed or special. It's a fundraiser.

Some people are so full of hate towards the UPC, they'll slander and lie about anything, even something so small as a fundraiser.

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

I'm shocked that people are defending this. If these were the ties of Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, and Benny Hinn and their followers were bidding on them, apostolics would be quick to speak against that, BUT since its happening within one of "our" churches with "our" men of God, then its all in "fun". Whatever. To me its another example of inconsistency. Rail against everyone else, but turn a blind eye to mess that goes on in your own back yard.

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

Paul and Barnabas would have no part of this. We're willing to turn "our" men of God into modern Zues' and Hermes', and its ok, since "we have the truth".

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

What's sad is that people aren't giving strictly out of a single focused desire to further the work. It's a gimmick.

Why not say, "We need $40,000 in donations and pledges for missions this year. Let's please search our hearts and seek God. If we can't reach this goal we may have to scale back our efforts to further the gospel."

I wouldn't mind having a tie of a preacher that preached a message that changed my life! It would be a constant reminder of promises that I made to God that night.

My list would be Merrill Ewing, TF Tenney and Mark Hanby. Not hero worship, but a monument of sorts of a life changing moment for me. I'm willing to pay up to $5! :-)

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

Amen!

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

I would be embarassed. Those are very low bids.

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

"Give me a crazy number you would accept for this."

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

"You know son, in MY day when a group needed money they would auction all of us bachelors off to the highest bidder. Chum, I think your worth about 10 bucks. I don't know to who."

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

It's no different than selling peanut brittle or having a basket auction to raise funds for the church. No one looses their mind ove rpeanut brittle, but you snap over them havign the nerve to sell some ties?

Grow up.

Re: A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship
 

thats because I havent bid yet..
