Apostolic Organizations
 

What is your favorite Apostolic organization and why? Is your Church a member, or is it independent? Which do you prefer between organization and independent?

Well Im not real up on the different ones. I would say "The Glorious Church Network". Its not an organization just a few groups that have basic agreement with Pastor/Elder Dave Huston of Carlisle Pa.

What sets them apart is they teach multiple Elders, the post tribulation rapture, soul sleep and conditional immortality.

I pray their small network would flourish. Bro. Dave is ordained in the UPC not sure if their group is actually IN the organization.

The Church I attend is UPC and is highly formalistic and teaches opposite of the things I like about the Glorious Church Network.

I must say independent is ok as long as the pastor has a church board. Independent pastors can quickly become cultish and lead a flock away from biblical based teaching. They can set "standards" based on personal bias and control. At least with an organization you have higher earthly authority you can go to of there are things going on. Wish I had one around my area just drove 1.25 hours to go to service Sunday. God smiled as I drove and talked threw the preached word. The pastor had no clue who I was. God is great.

Seems to me the incidence of unbiblical-ness is unrelated to whether a church is linked to a denomination or not.
