I saw a youtube video where one of his readers read a letter from a person attending a UPC church who also watched Gino. The person said their UPC Pastor said Gino was too harsh. To which Gino responded that the person should leave their "false prophet" and UPC church. Then his other reader read the scripture "Come out from among them and be separate." For a man who 1) has by-laws against proselyting and causing division; 2) talks a lot of context and understanding what a scripture is saying before using it -- he's incredibly ignorant telling the person to leave their church and even more ignorant trying to apply that scripture to the UPC.
From the by-laws it appears everything must be approved by Gino before it can be read, quoted, referenced, etc by one of his ministers. That's just a tad ridiculous.
There's more in the by-laws which show he demands a lot of control over people who either want to be a minister or want to be a member of his church.
I would run from Gino and that church.

Ηe also said that old time Apostolic were strict too but now little by little getting colder
1)i did not said about Polygamy, i said that 2nd marriage is not permitted for any reason ,so it is a false teaching
2)women preachers are not ordaining by God ,so that one is false too
3)Many people are more loyal to their Religion (Apostolic, Pentecostal etc.) than to God! this is what Gino preach about , He did not just say "come out" He said that
if the preacher does not willing to change then come out
That is the problem with Organisations . If one willing to do roght he have to loose his Job! This means he is not free to do the will of God because the Organisation will fire him out.
It is more than just women preachers,head coverings and divorces! He mostly preach against getting paid of a Religion and then control what you teach!
4) No reason to read any book of any person while we have the Word of God
is this right? Sure!
5)You could run were you want, most people are running out of faith , if you are like Jonah ,God will bring you in place
With all that i dont want to defend Gino or any man, or any Religion etc.
I just want to tell you that your reasons of neglecting the Message of Holiness are not so important as the message itself , running away because of strictness and difficulties it is not what we are told to do (because narrow is the way!) .
