Of course he has company.
Among the Apostolic folks there is great diversity.
We don't agree among ourselves on what words to say when a person is baptized in water.
We don't agree among ourselves on how a person is born again.
We don't agree among ourselves when we discuss/explain the Godhead.
We don't agree among ourselves on use of television and/or the internet.
We don't agree among ourselves on facial hair on men.
We don't agree among ourselves on hair length for men or women.
We don't agree among ourselves on how long sleeves should be, or how long hemlines should be, or whether we can play softball, or whether ladies can wear any kind of a garment that is divided for the legs.
Etc. etc. ad nauseum.

In the referenced article the author said
"...We as the Apostolic Church do not need to back down on what we've stood for so long. It's still Jesus Name baptism or it's hell! It's still Holiness or it's hell! It's still Holy Ghost or it's hell! and the Trinitarians are NOT our brothers, that will never change! They do not serve the same God we do!..."

That can't be said to be a typical Apostolic opinion. It represents the opinion of a few but not of the whole group. We are too diverse to be limited that way.

Joseph Miller 10-18-2007 02:28 PM

That link has been added to the bottom on the article he wrote about KH. That is where I found the link.

StillStanding 10-18-2007 03:23 PM

This quote is STILL pretty disrespectful!

As you all might know, the United Pentecostal Church International has passed the resolution concerning advertising on television this year at the General Conference in Tampa, Florida. We can thank all the one thousand and some odd backslidden ministers for this.

RandyWayne 10-18-2007 03:41 PM

Yes, it may not be as completely over-the-top as the first letter, but it is still over-the-top.

Please remember that the mans message is open to debate, but the man himself is not.

FRINGE_NUTTER 10-18-2007 07:38 PM

He called this forum a "doctrinal pig-stye" on the site that THAD posted the link....Don't most or many of us believe Acts 2:38 message?

Evang.Benincasa 10-18-2007 08:12 PM

So I guess Brother Reckart should be taking up a love offering for this web site due to all the publicity you are giving him. I thought the one thread you all had was enough. You're dealing with an individual who loves all the attention. It's like a bad dog whom when he receives no attention he messes up the house and leaves his signature in the middle of your bed. You see that because the dog doesn't get any attention it will seek any kind of attention even if it's bad.

The Internet gives access to any reprobate who can construct a web site. My opinion is that the two threads that bear the individual's name should be removed. Don't give these individuals free advertising.

Leave the man alone, and let the Lord deal with it.

I agree leave the man alone and let God settle things.

Hoovie 10-18-2007 08:35 PM

Amen to the ceasing of free advertising to Reckhart types. I am not sure it matters any at all what he thinks. So the guy has a web site.

I just don't understand why not going to the "picture show", sporting events, cutting your hair, etc. as mentioned in this man's letter are the important life changes that come as a result of what the "Apostolics have".

Seems there are more important changes that should come like not being quick to lose one's temper or given to wrath, living honestly, loving thy enemy, loving God and living one's life to be a reflection of Him, helping the poor, etc.

One thing I've learned over the years of attending UPCI churches - if you do what you mention in the first paragraph, what you do in the second paragraph doesn't matter much.

It's all in how you LOOK at it so to speak - not in how you live it. At least that's been my experience with UPCI recently.

This is worth shedding tears... :tissue

They claim they ain't. The author of that letter said he just emailed it to Reckart. I usually don't email stuff to people I don't at least get along with, but who knows.

Amen!!! That is absolutely the truth. Let me now say I have not read the letter. The word says to resist the devil and he will flee. It is quite clear that the decision pertaining to Resolution #4 has sparked quite a bit of discussion. 1) Among those w/in the UPC and 2) Those outside of the UPC. The devil knows he is defeated, but will use any means necessary to distract the saints of God. Don't give the devil any entertainment by spending energy discussing the ungodly comments of others. Growing up there was a song that I listened to called "Beware of them Dogs" and it talked about how sometimes you have to leave certain people alone. My father would say "Let em' Alone" and I think that is fitting in this case. During my childhood my father preached a sermon entitled "Avenge Me of Mine Adversary". God will avenge his people when they are done wrong. Leave it in God's hands and he can and will handle it. Time waisted on foolish comments can spent Praising God. Give God Some Praise People of the Most High!!!:choir

LOL. That was funny. His "signature", huh?
I gotta use that one one day.

SoCaliUPC 11-12-2007 12:16 AM

Has anyone seen the latest targets of their writings??? 2AFFers.

Joseph Miller 11-12-2007 12:17 AM

I bet I am one of their targets.
Where do you find out what their writting about?

Joseph Miller 11-12-2007 12:20 AM

Just for the record, I am sorry for standing up for the author of the letter that the link in the first post of this thread takes you too.

It was a MAJOR mistake of my part.
