I am thankful for holiness. I am glad that we still preach seperation from the world. There are things I have a conviction on that I can't find scripture for. I don't have to find chapter and verse for everything. If there is something I do that makes one question if I am apostolic or not then I want to stay away from it. That is why I don't have facial hair. I grew it for a SHORT time about 4 years back. The problem was I didn't look any different than the average man on the street. I felt a conviction. I won't go back to it. It is our difference that makes the difference!
I am settled on this Acts 2:38 (all 3 steps) message. I shouldn't have to include that I believe all 3 steps are necessary because real apostolics believe this, but some of this new generation wants to find an easier way or a more broad way. The only broad way I find in the Bible leads to a place I made up my mind I am NOT going to.
I am settled on the oneness. I am glad to have the revelation of the mighty God in Christ.
I will quit rambling, but I am comitted to handing the next generation a red hot apostolic holiness church. It is what was handed to me, I have a mandate for God to pass it on just as I received it. |
Great post---AMEN to all that!
