No Doctors Doctrine?
 

Wondering how widespread the teaching AGAINST doctors and medical assistance for children really is.

Do you know of an Apostolic/Pentecostal church within 50 miles of your home where the pastor teaches for the members to refrain from using medical assistance for themselves and their children to the point of death or being disfellowshipped?

No names are needed.

No but I have no issue with it.

Never heard this alleged doctrine...neither personally or through hearsay.

Nope

NO!

My parents joined Pentecost when I was about 6 yrs. old. I believe I remember a few sermons about "Don't Go Down To Egypt for Help" But that didn't last very long. And I don't believe anyone paid any attention to it.

That was about 76 years ago, I haven't heard of any one teaching that since then.

I do not recall having it heard from the pulpit, but I did know a brother who was really sick, yet he refuse to admit his sickness, he kept on saying he was well when it was obvious he was not. He kept saying that Jesus had healed him, but there was no evidence of that healing.

Nope!

I did not see it in Oneness Pentecost or Trinitarian Pentecost.

You will not get an accurate number here. Those kind of people usually preach against the internet and cherry Chapstick.

I've had apostolics refuse Tylenol and basic stuff like that for religious reasons. I've had apostolics tell me they stopped taking their prescribed meds for religious reasons. All this was over 10 years ago in some of the most rural poor and backward areas you'll find. These people lived about 45 mins of straight highway driving to even get to a Walmart if that says anything.
