Eld. Epley, please explain the purpose of the Lord instituting His Supper (communion).

So then, according to YOUR beliefs; after Jesus "comes again" and the Church is taken in the “pre-trib rapture,” the Holy Ghost and tongues would cease.
So you are in fact a cessationalist. AFPs are not because we believe the Holy Ghost and tongues will forever be available.
Since you teach that the Holy Ghost will someday be unavailable, your position also
requires an different way for those “left behind” to receive salvation.
This means you are in fact teaching there will be another gospel. Eld. Epley, don’t you know what the Apostle Paul said about those who teach “another gospel”??? (see
Gal 1:6-7) And yet, here you are, proposing exactly that. And you claim AFP is dangerous and is heresy??

Eld. Epley, you err not knowing the scriptures. Here is what that verse actually says: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and
so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (
Heb 10:25). It does not say it would cease, but that they were to assemble even more as it drew near. If you would study the scriptures in your Bible instead of reading your Scofield Study Bible’s sidenotes, you could have seen this.

Again, you studynotes are blinding you.
The word "UNTIL" is not even found one time in the entirety of 1 Thessalonians epistle. So please, Eld. Epley, give the verse(s) where YOU have found what you claim here.

Just a sample of problems forced on FP's by their false doctrine.

Eld. Epley, where did you derive this fictitious claim? Did you find it in your Bible? Did you hear or read an AFP say it? Eld. Epley, are you purposely trying to malign us, or are you really this confused?
Dear reader, I told you Eld. Epley would change the subject and go into misrepresentations. After all these years, this is what I have ALWAYS seen him do. As a matter of fact, I can post all kinds of examples where he has done similar things in all the forums where we have talked over the years. One thing for sure about Eld. Epley, he is consistent….
