Here's a different slant Prax. Our Church board decided we should vote to become non affiliated earlier this year.
Our pastor was not for this but the board voted on it and then took it to the church and the chuch voted on it and passed.
A meeting must be announced three times and the district informed of the intent of the church and they have the right to send a district representive to the business meeting to present wht they feel the church should remain affiliated.
I think the pastor should be on the board.
__________________ 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.
