Internet and YouTube are acceptable as long as they remain designated for work and outreach purposes, because through them thou wilt not be exposed to commercials. (Even if you do waste more time finding things on YouTube than ever before thought possible).
Book of.... *ahem* well...

Quoting the sacred book (Manual) is not the same as quoting the other God-breathed writings known as "the Bible."

That one didn't even make it as far as the manual, though it may appear in some churches' bylaws...

Funny thing (and very sad) to me is some of SP's contemporaries would have fried him for watching YouTube, and others for the internet (still others for both)-they would have called him liberal and stopped fellowshipping him. And some may well have done just that-its been awhile since I've heard his name come up in the conservative circles that I know.

I'm sure he meant metaphorically, and yes i do have the tape. I would say alot of it doctrinally doesn't bother me, old fashion ACts 2:38. But so what, don't the words of Paul apply to our preaching also?

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

I would venture to guess that the entire Bible applies to all of us. So yes.

Turn the other cheek? This applies to what? The man or boy has lied (a reiteration) in this discussion. He once again SPEWS rhetoric and opinions. NO BIBLE. So because I defend the doctrine Im wrong? I've been very cordial.

I said:
1) He LIED
2) He had no scripture for his argument
3) He didnt know his scripture
4) He was childish and immature

He has:
1) Mocked the faith (which is a contempt for the rules according to my understanding)
2) He LIED
3) has attempted to ASSASSINATE peoples character with lies (unchecked I might add)
4) He has posted DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS (published by AFF, Lawyers would have a field day with this one!) (Think about it ADMIN)


I'll stand by what I said. As for holiness....you show me one thing I did wrong....BIBLICALLY. (????) I'm waiting for the scripture.

"...it pleased GOD by the foolishness of preaching to SAVE them that believe."
1 Corinthians 1:21

I've never heard someone with a prayer life complain that the man of GOD took to long. AMEN!I've never heard someone who bares fruits of the SPIRIT complain that the service lasted too long.
Double AMEN! It'd never be me, for sure.
To be honest.....I've never witnessed the rebellious spirits of so many "so called Apostolics" that are so critical of the MINISTRY. It puzzles me where the reverence and respect for the MINISTRY has gone. AMEN, and ditto! It grieves me.When the MAN of GOD stops becoming the VOICE of GOD in your life.......friend you are in trouble.

If you want rhyme and reason for why television is unhealthy for "PRAYING APOSTOLICS" I can do that. But some of you are trying to debate the Apostolic doctrine with people in this forum that ARE NOT APOSTOLICS.
When a veil is over someone's eyes......ONLY GOD CAN SHOW THEM.

Romans 13:4
"For he is the minister of GOD to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vein: for he is the minister of GOD."

You can argue over opinions, but you can't argue against the scriptures.

AMEN AMEN!!! Although I've sadly seen plenty DO just this (argue against scriptures) all the time.
I was waiting/searching for a time to insert such a comment as this one a part of which I've enlarged the font, right at the beginning
..and waiting paid off, in that someone else said what I was thinkin, praise GOD! I have finally found an edifying thread to enjoy! I plan to devote time to listen to this sermon straight through in some
solitude, soon., I will be blessed I'm sure.

HALLELUJAH!!
I feel I have finally encountered a 'kindred' spirit friend here,
GOD is good!
Love this post!

btw is this the STeve Pixler of Ft.Worth, TX? I am not UPC but I had
found this church in an online search when I was lookin for a church for
my son when he first moved up to Dallas area about 4yrs ago., I found
that church's website enjoyed it thoroughly and many of the online sermons
as well, I'd be blessed to hear this brother preach or TEACH., in person, LIVE..anytime!
Truly if pressured for a choice, I'd have to say I enjoy the teachings that last so long..
someone commented that the Spanish(?) people can do church for 5 or 6 hours?
Yes, I've both seen and done this., its no problem whatsoever, in fact its a privilege!
and its not just the Spanish that can do this either.
I do believe that there needs to be a variety of 'church' formats [even off regular times] available to fulfill various levels of hungry souls, and/or those just wanting to be faithful in churchgoing. *shrug*
This family of GOD is diverse, and can be quite fascinating.

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. Titus 3:2

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
1 Peter 3:15

And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. Luke 3:14

ETC.

[DeuteronomyCh8]

Amen! Well.... real Apostolics aren't well liked in this forum. You get an attaboy! if you denounce or mock the Bible though. If you defend it....well you could be banned. ( )

I don't know... ever try talking (questioning) about tithes on a conservative forum? Or challenging ANY of the traditional standards?

Ban city! Ban city! Where all we do is ban, and thats all!


And I cannot handle a 3 hour football game, at least in one sitting.

I think most movies are too long (without a break).

And I AM on the net for the better part of a day -doing quite a few things at once. AFF is just one of a dozen tabs (the rest are work related) open.
