Anyone see the picture of Steve Epley and AtlantaBishop on Apostolic Contender?

[Steve Epley]

I have been gone a few days and look at the excitement. I am not the least bit upset at this tirade and misconception they posted. AB has been a friend for years we agree on very little and disagree on much, however I will not be intimitated by anyone on whom I have a lunch with. I am 56 years old and can eat with whom I choose. My doctrinal stance nor life is NOT up for debate determined by someone I have lunch with. Some folks have WAY TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH time on their hands.

Brother, this is exactly why we love and respect the daylights out of you.

I look forward to a day when you can get up here and we can break bread. As I have said before, I would even attend a svc at Perdue's church just to have an opportunity to meet you and hear you preach.

I have had lunch with CCI & Pianoman more than once and the Lord willing I will again. This is stupid. My Father is a Charismatic preacher I eat with him as often as I can which is not often enough. I have eaten with many well-known Charismatic preachers with my Father. Most of the time my Dad has already told them what we are. And when they see my wife they know and the most have treated us with great respect. I do not insult him nor his guests I have manners. Am I going to preach them? NO! But having a hamburger and preaching is NOT the same.

I've been away for a few hours. I think they took down the rckrt bio on wikki and replaced it with a post for the apostolic messy church. Demonic legalism is so easy to defeat.

I love and appreciate your attitude and spirit.

If witchraft null a baptism than everyone rcrk baptized is as lost as a needle in a haystack. Legalism is a form of witchcraft.

I further reject the baptisms performed by any minister who is not ordained and who is not a holy and godly man. This means I reject all baptisms performed by a woman, by a homosexual, by an adulterer, by a fornicator, by anyone who is backslid because of sins, by anyone who is dressed unholy at the occasion, by anyone dressed as a priest of Rome, by anyone who does not believe in holiness, and by anyone who is in the following false doctrines:
13.) who practices any form of witchcraft including birthstones, zodiac signs, gnosticism, and kabbalah;
Anyone baptized by any church, organization, pastor, minister or deacon as listed in #1 - 16: I reject their baptisms as valid and demand the baptismal candidates be REBAPTIZED by a qualified and ordained holy man of God.

My comment left on the Apostolic Contender Blog (just in case they moderate and do not post it).

Smith,

I find it interesting that you would post a reply here as though you were the epitome of Apostlicism. How is it that Brother Epley is in the throws of ecuminicalism for simply eating lunch with a man that is a friend of the family, but you are spotless though you submit to a man that is registered in his state as a sex offender???

If I remember my bible right, a Bishop must be blameless.
