This was an official AMF conference not an anniversary service.

Re: Largest Apostolic Church in the US
I recall Rev. Alvear preached one night and I enjoyed it. Elder Groce was also at this meeting and the one other person I knew besides Elder Epley!

Always enjoyed Bro. Alvear's preaching. Bro. Groce was a good bible teacher as well.

Re: Largest Apostolic Church in the US
I have noticed that in a lot of ultra con preaching I will agree 100% with 90% of the first half or two thirds of the sermon. It is when they come to their idea of the application of the scripture that it all falls apart.
I listened to a Colorado ultra con preach a conference here in Nashville a few years ago. His sermon was over 1 1/2 hours long and the first hour or so was great. Then when he got to the application of what he had preached he entered the twilight zone. Nobody in his church was allowed to have internet. If a person's job required being on the internet they had to get a filter to filter everything out except the site or sites they had to connect to for work. No one under the age of 18 was allowed to own a cell phone in the church. Can you say CULT??????
He didn't say it but that controlling spirit is the same one that tells people what kind of car to buy, when and where to buy a house, who their kids can date, etc, etc. I have no doubt he is either also doing those things or was headed that way. I don't recall his name but believe he was someone who left the UPC because it was too liberal and this was before the WPF formed.

Yes, it is their way of micro-managing that is the biggest problem.
