I do know Elder Epley and you are correct. He is one of the finest ultra con Pentecostal preachers I have ever met. While we disagree on 96.7% of things related to church I respect his walk with God, his intellect, and wisdom.
I am glad that even though, as Apostolics, we have differences and faults and even disagreements on scripture, standards, etc. we can still love one another. We are all just humanity full of faults and imperfections. Actually it will be a miracle if any of us make it. I remember when I first got in church I had this grandiose believe that all christians were perfect or at least near perfect. Boy was I wrong. But along the way I learned to focus on HIM and not on a particular person or man. That lesson has seen me through many disappointments in my walk with God.

God's grace is truly amazing!

Jesus was accused of things around the crucifixion, the Bible says he didn't open his mouth.
A well grounded person would allow God to handle the situation. Little people ignore Biblical mandates. No one on this forum needs info about TPC.
The Bible doesnt make exceptions on spreading gossip.
Ummm, dude.
You not read where they put you on Ignore ?

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter
