Im proud to be Apostolic... but

[reubstr]

I am proud to be Apostolic. But....

Does that mean I throw away my brother or sister because they have short sleeves?

Do I cut off my own family (or church down the street) because they allow splits?

Do I consider another church 'barred' from fellowship because they wear a wedding band?

Does being Apostolic mean "Speaking evil of my brother" is approved from the pulpit because they are liberal or conservative? Isn't that Satans business, the accuser of the brethren?

Off the cuff remarks about someone, that you 'assume' is a certain way, isn't right. (on the forum or from the pulpit). The religious leaders approached Jesus with hard evidence, caught in the very act and Jesus didn't disfellowship. Jesus didn't say things like, "she must not really have the HG!" or "How can she claim to be a child of God!".

No, love covers a multitude of sins.

I am proud to be Apostolic... but let it not be known as the backstabbing Apostolics. (or to the face for that matter )

Just a thought. Said with a smile and not confrontationally.

be included in with the meanies.

I have heard all the above, and much more. We cannot continue to do that and be pleasing to God.

(2Co 10:12)
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themseves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

(2Co 10:17)
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

When we judge ourselves among ourselves it isn't wise. The only Glory we have is in what the Lord has done for us, and what the Lord has done for others.

Please allow me to rephrase that to "Haven't been pleaseing to God since we started to do that"

I stand justly corrected.

I am sure you know that was my point. But still, I stand justly corrected. I mistated my point.

Point: It is not pleasing to God.

If Apostolics don't fellowship each other ( and I've seen it and heard of it) how do they intend to get along in heaven?
Oh, I forgot.................they don't expect anyone else !

No. The HG was given to lead and guide into all truth. Forgive, let the HG lead and love your neighbor. No qualifications. Just love your neighbor.
