This is one of the most ridiculous statements I have heard. I guess using this logic, you really should not work for someone who holds a different doctrinal view than you. You really should not mix with other family members who hold different doctrinal views. For surely, in your day to day live, you around people who don't quite share all that you believe to be true.

This mentality puts a real arrogant approach as "You are not worthy to be ministered by what we have." I guess that "little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine" refers to the church and those of like-precious faith.

The background to this story is that Thad and his choir tore it up at CLC at their music conference. The promoter of the concert happened to be present at that meeting and felt the presence of God so strong that she asked them...with 2 weeks notice...that they needed to open for Tye Tribbitt. Thad's choir MINISTERS....even in concerts. I have been to 2 concerts that his choir has ministered in...and the concert changed to church. May the group that comes to the concert that night...feel a difference they never have before.

Thanks for that.

Good post. Socali, I understand the line of thinking.
i think that many folk think if you sing outside of our church
that you will go the way of TBN. that may have been true at one
time but time and things have changed. There is a new generation that is singing in different venues and NOT changing.

You got that right.

I guess some people just are not grounded in the faith...and unshakeable in their doctrine like what you and I were brought up. I guess everyone needed a David Gray and a Bill Yandris to lay a firm foundation that is unshakeable. If someone is worried that by singing at an event with Tye Tribbitt or Gaithers or this person and that person, and it is THAT which will send you the (overused term) "way of TBN"....I would call their foundation very weak. You have been to many non-UPC events and look....you are still doctrinally sound. Haven't changed. I have been to non-UPC events....I'm still doctrinally sound. We have both sang for non-UPC people....and look....still doctrinally sound. If a singing event is going to change someone's doctrine and beliefs....they never had it to begin with.

Thad - It is an incredible compliment to you and your crew to be invited to front for TT!
I am impressed - with you - not with him! LOL

If we really believe what we say we do - why do we keep it all inside our four walls! Maybe someone should read the Great Commission! GO - Into all the world! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm What a novel idea!

Thad - Thanks for being an Apostolic Influence to many thousands that would never know or hear or be influenced in any way otherwise.

I commend you - you really believe what you say you do!

I have a UPC friend - that was asked this week to play and travel with a MAJOR guy that has MAJOR influence!
. I cannot say much more that that - but people are gonna be talkin'! LOL
