An Evangelist being in demand doesn't make him more expensive unless he wants it so.

Think this through. First you're saying he's extremely popular, then you say if someone cancels, he's lost an opportunity. But if he's as popular as you say, he shouldn't have an issue booking a replacement.

Also, I'm fine with charging expenses in advance. If there's airfare and hotel involved, the church should book and pay that expense for the Evangelist.

Never said it was authoritative. It's no more authoritative than AFF.

12. But whosoever shall say in a spirit "Give me money, or something else," you shall not listen to him; but if he tell you to give on behalf of others in want, let none judge him.

...

1. Let everyone who "comes in the Name of the Lord" be received; but when you have tested him you shall know him, for you shall have understanding of true and false.
2. If he who comes is a traveller, help him as much as you can, but he shall not remain with you more than two days, or, if need be, three.
3. And if he wishes to settle among you and has a craft, let him work for his bread.
4. But if he has no craft provide for him according to your understanding, so that no man shall live among you in idleness because he is a Christian.
5. But if he will not do so, he is making traffic of Christ; beware of such.

This is the same writing trinitatarians go to affirm baptism in the Titles.

It comes from the 2nd century. I mean you have to take it with a grain of salt. I mean everything in National Enquirer may not be false either at least the phone numbers contained in it are real! Lol

It's like in the book of Enoch I read to the part where it said there was 3 thrones in heaven, and then I said no way...
