In a rant to end all rants the Holiness police spokesperson, Martyn Ballestero unequivocally stated in his blog a couple of weeks ago ....
Quote:
GOD STILL USES YESTERDAY, TO MEASURE US TODAY.
What would make some say, concerning holiness standards, that we can’t live in the past? There’s a reason they talk that way. Evidently, old time Pentecost conflicts with their love for the world. The Holiness of the past is suppose to make them feel uncomfortable in their shorts, short skirts, tight apparel, jewelry, cut hair and makeup. It is suppose to make Hollywood feel uncomfortable on their conscience. They do not wish to be convicted, so they reject the past on a wholesale basis.
I fear they are no longer Apostolic, but apostate, and don’t even know it. I pray they haven’t been turned over to the spirit of delusion.
The book of Judges mentions, that in those days, every man did that which was right in his own eyes. I am now seeing a repeat of those times.
Speaking of ‘Apostolic,’ did some get ashamed of the word and take it down from their church sign so they could be more relevant? (Just asking!)

Not an ounce of exegesis found to support these positions but a hodge-podge of OT references that do not deal with Ballestero's 2Oth centrury Holymess Wardrobe doctrines that showed no separation or distinction in their heyday ....

They may vote out all the rules and standards out of their local church or organization if they want, but that doesn’t change the Book. The Apostolic Church will never have a future if it lets go of it’s past.
Today, I humbly echo Jeremiah’s advice. Ask for the Old Paths, that’s the good way. Ask for Yesterday. Walk in Yesterday. You will find rest there for your soul.
Your soul will never find rest or be at peace if you reject the old paths. If you want a future you must hold on to the past.
