Good grief. But many have discussed the "power because of the angels" thing to emphasize their point, but don't interpret the same as many do. I've read Bernard's writings, where he says "power" is authority (which is the literal meaning of the word there).

Me thinks you speak amiss....

How could he "take it back" - he resigned and a new pastor was voted in. The Board would have to "fire" the new pastor or he would have to resign (and that ain't happening) then the church would have to vote in a new pastor.... hm-m-m-m-m I'm not sure I see that happening.... There are a lot of people in that church that are completely satisfied and happy with their current pastor.

It's silly to act like Apostolics are experts at social graces. Many of them are not, and are actually rude, difficult customers.

Our pastor teaches that if you can't afford to tip well, you can't afford to eat out.

Some people tip well and others don't, but to point a finger at any identifiable group and say that they are obnoxious and stingy is silly.

I completely reject this unfair characterization of my brothers and sisters in Christ based on the unfortunate experience of a random waitress or random waitresses.

I have heard the same criticism directed at the members of a local Vineyard congregation. Therefore, from my experience, Vineyard members are notoriously poor tippers and a server's nightmare. However I'm pretty sure that this is not universally true of Vineyard members. Why, Vineyard Sam is so generous and gracious that he is able to pass judgement on a whole movement of religious slobs who fall short of his exacting standards of restaurant etiquette.

What makes you say that?

Unfortunately, Stephanas, because Apostolics are so distinctive in appearance, what one Apostolic does easily misrepresents the whole group. It is a problem. So to combat it, make sure you're a generous tipper and a kind customer.

I'm still confused....did Bro. Mooney withdraw his name after the nomination or after the actual election? In other words, did Bro. Mooney technically serve as GS for several minutes?

Also, if he really did not want the job, why did he allow his name to run in the first place?

Unless he did a complete 180 from when he wrote "In Search of Holiness", which I highly doubt.

I totally agree.

He withdrew his name after the results of the nomination and before the actual election.

They don't have people "running" for GS. The ministers make nominations, and then those nominees are voted on.
