The fact that a pastor would even feel the need to be on top of folks "sins" like this just makes me wonder, why?
He has a control issue?

He thinks the way to keep saints on the straight and narrow is to preach on sin over and over and over instead of feeding the flock in such a way as to nurture and nourish them that they will automatically be avoiding these sins?

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
