Can't post it here, but there is a video of a pastor (youth pastor, I think) who blurts out the "real" f-word. Hilarious! Er, I mean, um, sad. Very sad.

He apologized for the possible offense. What's the problem?

That all being said, the "mishap" was done publicly, then the apology should be in the same forum and setting as the mistake. Unless it is a trend, I'd afford him the same mercy and grace I would want myself... but I was taught a long time ago, if the foot was placed in the mouth in the pulpit in front of a crowd, then remove it in the pulpit in front of that same crowd as well.

He apologized on his blog.
I think he should apologize in church, not everybody is on the internet checking his blog.
Are you sure he didn't ALSO apologize in church?

ETA: Services are streamed live and then archived for online watching. That's probably why he felt the need to post an apology online.

I once saw a youtube clip of a young preacher (Apostolic) who said that he would kick the devil in the groin. It was rather amusing to watch both of the other preacher's reactions as both were seasoned ministers (one of whom I heard say, "I need therapy", repeatedly during some of his earlier years of preaching).

I have to agree. I would have to wonder how many people who were present would have read his blog. Further, it is only correct to right the wrong in the same venue that you committed the wrong.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter

Well...I certainly agree with this.
