Facade & Pharisees in the church

Yes this was an Apostolic/Pentecostal conference and the person was also.

Yes it was and the person also.
I have been my whole life Apostolic.

It is when the other young people were not homosexual. And there is no need to put that title on someone who merely wants to style their hair a certain way. Or wear certain clothes (yes the clothes were modest and acceptable) and this certain person had a prejudice against them.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything like like I simply just wanted to get it out there for the simple fact that it is wrong to do that to people when they are NOT "fruit cakes" and wrong to separate people from others that are not doing anything wrong and they have been in church their whole lives as well.

That doesn't answer the question. Was it UPC or some other group or independent?

You know UPC is not a synonym for Apostolic or Pentecostal. Lots of organizations claim to be Apostolic and Pentecostal

You were born that way?

[Praxeas]

We're ALL born Apostolic until we decide to become baptists

I know a couple independents who'd have done that... but they turned out to be fruitcakes...

True, I wouldn't go out of my way to make too many presumptions. But things like this are often well-known in the fellowship, and are discernible through the Holy Spirit, and too often are allowed for the sake of I'm not sure what.

There is grace, "...and such were some of you...", but notice the past tense. It shouldn't still be so. Nevertheless, having not been there, we can only guess as to the validity of the claim made against the young people.

I do understand completely. And it's true sometimes it is allowed. It's just sometimes young people or young adults don't figure things out for themselves they always rely on others to tell them what to do and where to go. We should know how to ourselves already.

HAHA!
