Re: Apostolic 101
It amazes me how we spit on and discount the salvation of men like Martin Luther, William Tyndale, John Huss, John Wesley, Charles Wesley, John Newton, etc.... yet we sing their hymns... we read their writings... we quote them from our pulpits (often leaving out their names)... our congregational churches are even structured after the pastoral structure they drafted. We sing worship songs written by Evangelicals; we weep, cry, dance, clap, and worship to their songs... yet we curse them as heathens. We read Bibles translated by them, and denounce that they might have an ounce of the Holy Ghost. We've become shottish children, drunken with our own arrogance and pride.
Can't we see... these great men were being used of God to reform the church? We wouldn't exist today if not for them? We'd be void of so much without the innovations of churches still steeped in so much "Christian tradition"? We wouldn't even have a King James Bible if we denounced all things that weren't Apostolic!
