Why don't we all, as Apostolics, just love each other the way we are, and live what we believe is right?
I don't remember Jesus telling anyone to change their clothes before He would heal them or eat with them. One parable about clothes-about the wedding garments. And I'll say again, I have a uc background but I'm still saying this. I'm not defending my stance.
But there is this, and it's been at the back of my mind for a while:
Luke 9
49And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
50And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
Mark 9
38And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
39But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40For he that is not against us is on our part.
41For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
42And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
