You are not kidding, but I understand why the need for them to be posted so large. Because the surfboard jockey believes that only mega huge churches are relevant.

If I were to wear a pair of Wranglers, I'm sure you would not consider me apostolic....

Re: House church or excuse?

And there is that scripture where Jesus said... where two or three are gathered together in MY NAME, I will be in the midst of them... so the size of the building where people are gathering is irrelevant... what they are doing while they are gathering is what is important!

By the way how many churches in the Apostolic Oneness movement are up to 20,000?

I believe it was posted that sort of thinking is just an excuse.

Re: House church or excuse?

Pentecostals are all the same everywhere I've been. We have an airport here, and planes. I have seen a lot in wherever I go Hawaii goes with me. please don't tell me you guys don't believe in churches either ? Im not everything I should be, but I still know what's right. I may not be on the road but I know where it is. Evangelist, keep talking sense to me, because I know I need it. I don't mean to be disrespectful to anyone.

So... you are downing house churches, when the very church you are attending started with one? Hmm...

Why not have multiple satellite house churches all over the island? Each home of a believer becomes a place where more believers can be reached with a bible study, and love and fellowship...

For the record, I have no problem with a large church building, but it should not be the "only" building in the group where people are meeting to fellowship, and share the gospel. Every believer's home really should be open to sharing the gospel as much as possible. Now that is a way to truly explode and bust out the seams and reach people with the gospel!
