Smart man.

1Ti 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

1Ti 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

1Ti 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

1Ti 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

That is not what Jason was doing. That's twisting the scripture.

Its OK. That's expected. Its typical to attack the person when you have no counter argument

And where does the Word of God say you can do none of the above but can use the internet, watch YouTube, wear expensive watches, diamond wedding rings,turn church/camp meeting into a worldly fashion contest of vanities, and not go to movie theatre but watch DVDs?

Is it really the Word of God or just your tradition? I think the latter.

Where does the Word of God say you can do any of those things?

That's telling.

There are three kinds of Apostolics.

1. Those who really love God, study His Word, and arrive at traditional Water/Spirit doctrine and standards.

2. Those who really love the Apostolic movement. They love conference and camp meeting preaching that pushes all of movement's hot buttons. They are committed to holding the fort but cannot be bothered to study scripture. They are content with what they have, and have no desire to change. They are proud of their identity and wear it as a badge of honor.

3. Those who really love God, study His Word, and realize that Water/Spirit doctrine and standards are man-made traditions...errors, but also love the Apostolic movement. They are conflicted because they have a high view of the Word and a love for the movement.

In their case, something has to give. Some choose tradition over truth. Others choose truth over tradition.

You fall in Group #2.

Can't be bothered to examine scripture.
Satisfied with your heritage.
Closed to truth.

The age old argument of what does the Word of God say is as vast as it is wide but in context, principle and definition you have to rightly divide the Word of Truth...

Seek to know what you believe, and are willing to be taught.
Beware of your influences that may lead you astray, or teachings that only tickle your ears.

We have many who are willing but few who are obedient even when the Word of God is direct and precise.

The modern day church is more about culture and less about spirituality and spirituality can be debased to a "culture".

The difference is whom you choose to follow. For those that follow Christ truly it will be about sacrifice, submission, commitment and obedience.

For that follow the church it will be about definition, fellowship, politics, and man.

For those that follow the preacher it will be about affirmation, confirmation, trust, fear and failure.

There is no need to reevaluate what one believes when it was and is founded on the Word of God. I settled l that 40 years ago and will never change.

Can you tell me which chapter and verse is that teaching on no beards?
I have read the Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 and I have not found it. I probably missed it. can you help me out?

So if someone is a Catholic for 40 years, then it is OK for them not to change, after all if they have been wrong for 40 years then it now it is OK because after all it is 40 years of being wrong and after being 40 years of being wrong it then becomes right.

When females wear jeans, I can't call it modest. They are form fitting. I know good Christian women, some who I believe to have even been filled with the Holy Ghost, who wear jeans and most jeans for females are form-fitting.

I haven't lusted off of them, but you would have to redefine "modesty" to defend jeans-- and once pants are acceptable, jeans will be too, in very short time.

When people say it is a slippery slope, it really is.

I don't have the answer. I know legalism doesn't save and neither does it keep anyone saved. I know jeans for females MOST of the time can't really by called modest.

People really need the Holy Ghost for themselves.
