What will Liberal's/Baptist's do when

[revrandy]

the Magic Hair Doctrine goes away????

What will their next Mantra Be?


Seems like "Magic Hair" is now the whipping post for all things considered standards?

I think Rev Randy is just sarcastically referring to some of us Apostolics who may not agree with him on "standards" as "liberal Baptists."

Well it is hard to make a "magic doctrine" out of something people DON'T do (for instance it is impossible for someone to do something miraculous by NOT doing it -how do you make the fact that you DON'T go to a movie theater into something visible at an alter which can apparently heal?).
So the next magical elixir will have to come from something that IS done.

I seem to remember the church service itself having magic powers..... I have often heard people lift up those who have "never missed a service" and are always "there when the doors are open" and would NEVER miss church, even for their own wedding, honeymoon, or funeral of a loved one.

I suspect his "quibble" is over a bit more than your standards....

What's gotten into you lately, RevRandy? You've always approached these things with a more sensible outlook in the past. No name calling and jingoism from you. But now?

Oklahoma doesn't appear to have beeen very good to you.

No reflection on you revrandy, but it appears to me that more men are having issues with this " Magic Hair Doctrine" than the ladies are.

Sam, Baptist is a ref. to the PCI.

No I'm just messing around a bit with those I can't distinguish from good Baptist folks anymore...

I agree with Hot Coffee Ms. it seems that this has become somewhat a crusade issue by men that seems to be killing UPC'ers while it's being preached... and I just don't think that is the case...

I'll readily admit I'm somewhat left of the right and right of the left...leaning more towards the right but it gets wearisome to hear the same mantra over and over and see some friends and family that have changed over the last few years...

I love being Apostolic and I also love the UPC and what it stands for... I don't necessarily agree with everything and believe some things should be updated but it is a body of believers... I don't agree with the Politics of the system but every system has it's own political structure because it is governed by man... but truth be told God is in charge.. while men are imperfect by nature they can also become vile, ugly, and do ungodly in deeds all claiming that they are godly but on the other hand humans can make mistakes and can find forgiveness even though others have been hurt by their relationship with said men... Paul was such a man who in the name of God persecuted those who were serving God... but he himself found forgiveness there may have been some who never forgave him for what he did...but God saw fit to preserve him probably to the detriment of those he had persecuted because of the bitterness or pain they had felt or received from him...

I can't apologize for the entire ministry to those that have been hurt, or have suffered pain because of the path they went down but to see the well worn path some are taking and seeing where it has led others who also claim godliness in ungodliness it is sad to see and hear...

I hope someday to see them make their way back home to truth or at least to where they once were in Christ...

I remember a Pm here a couple of years ago from a Pastor's wife who even though they were pastor of a large assembly and seemingly successful church she said she longed for the days again of Apostolic moves of the Holy Ghost in their services because they had moved on from those things awhile back...

I really see some here who are delving into areas where the danger signs are flashing... And what you may realize as truth and relevance as was stated by a friend mine recently you lose revelation and that is a bad place to be...

[revrandy]

I find it interesting that many have chosen these new ways not from a path of wellness but pain, rejection and bitterness against those who hurt them... and often times it's not good place to find a path...
