Look...there are charlatans in every organization/denomination/group. These folk are out to get what they can get, be it $$, sex, or fame.
But for people like Heg to mistakenly think that a pastor who checks on the future mate of a member of his is controlling or worse, well that's just silly.
If it were me, I would glad to have a pastor who cared enough to see if this dude was for real.
It's not about checking for dirt...it's about being a loving shepherd.
No argument from me. Leave that for the ex-pentecostals
__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
