An Apostolic choir has no business publicly doing a project with Mark Lowery and Michael English. This should never have happened. It is one thing to have someone coming to your church so you can minister to them or (using careful discretion) to involve them in something the church is doing in order to open a door to reach someone...I have no problem with that. But it's quite another matter for an Apostolic choir to join hands together in an effort to jointly "minister" to others. All that's really happening here is the Apostolics are going to have their doctrinal position watered-down...and their own people confused. Rather than being a vital point of doctrine, it trivializes the issue and makes it like "trinity/oneness, so what?"---and they're doing that publicly.

The Apostle Paul preached in synagogues of the Jews IN ORDER TO REACH THE JEWS...he didn't join in efforts with the non-believing Jews to minister to others as though their false teachings were unimportant, trivial matters.

I personally have preached in trinitarian churches, NOT to join in ministry WITH them to others, or to give silent approval to their teachings and hold hands with their false doctrine but in order to reach them and have an opportunity to be used by God to minister to them. There is a difference. Having someone come to your church and be involved with you to some limited degree is not at all the same as doing some public project together where it looks like you're in agreement.
