Sitting under a pastor?
CC1 brought this up. He says house churchers are usually people who refuse to submit to sitting under a pastor.
What exactly does that mean? Please explain.

Re: Sitting under a pastor?
For the most part it means showing up at the meeting and listening to the sermon. Not much more than that.

Oh, Michael! You failed to mention retrieving one of those small envelopes, usually located near the doorway leading to the auditorium, in which you're expected, yea, demanded, to deposit a minimum of 10% of the "filthy lucre" you earned from your labors since your previous visit. After repeated visits, and failing to do so, will surely result in a private consultation with the "sitting pastor," who will indoctrinate you on this requirement. LOL

My goodness. Could you imagine how terrible that would be when the pastor passed gas?

Not just that since a lot of Pentecostal preachers I have known are rather large. It could not only be painful but dangerous.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Size with pastors is a reproach. Sorry, but it's true. Scripture teaches not coming under power of anything... INCLUDING FOOD.
