Re: Would you sit under Eli?


derAlte,

The rumors caused a split sometime after 2001. Well, the supoosed adulteress addressed the congregation to, um, say that the rumors weren’t true.

From other stories I’ve heard, she had been lookout for opportunity to trap the pastor.

I don’t really know what hapoened. Most of the church split. Some that remained were never put to ease.

The church grew a little. At this point it made no sense for the pastor to look for an aly. I want to give Eli the BOTD. But his decision caused the small church to lose everyone. They canceled Spanish service because of attendance. They went from 2 services to 1 on Sunday- because bills. With the crowd they draw they can meet in a house.

Some honesty here. Though I don’t support the decision to allow him to minister, I really like the guy. I visited his church a few times before I moved to Houston.

More honesty. Before God TRAPPED me here I considered moving back. I kionda did, but returned to Houston. Then while visiting one weekend BAM! The accident... you all know the story.
I had every intention to return to Eli’s church. I was moved with compassion toward them.

I love where I’m attending church now! But with my friends talking about possibly returning... I don’t know what I’d do at that point.

I'm confused. The man was labeled a "repentant adulterer" in a previous post, but he was actually innocent and she lied and made up the accusation?

Am I reading this correctly?

The pastor “Eli” -rumors of adultery

The new assistant pastor- repentant adulterer

Would be easier to follow if I used fake names. Sorry.

Reading over my posts... frustrated me

Ok. So...

-Rumors that pastor Eli had an affair caused a split

Many years pass

- Pastor Eli promoted a repentant adulter (a former pastor) to the ministry, causing most of the remaining saints to leave

-Pastor Eli promoted repentant adulterer to assistant pastor

What does that have to do with the thread?

The verse you misquoted has nothing whatsoever to do with any individual's alleged "call to ministry".

Re: Would you sit under Eli?

Back to the original question of whether or not I would "sit under Eli". My question is "how much does Eli weigh?".

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
