Are they still oneness? I have a friend that is drifting this direction and I want to know more about this mindset. When he began to tell me about it I thought he was the only one, now I find this. Can you tell me more so I can help him if I can.

Re: Homestead Heritage in waco tx

yes, they are very oneness...in more ways than one. What you see is NOT what you get...

They are Jesus Christ on earth...to disobey would be to disobey Jesus Christ...

The people for the most part are sweet people and hard working people however like Brazil leadership is the problem...

When mere men becomes gods...something is wrong...terribly wrong....

Re: Homestead Heritage in waco tx

and I have no problem with a Christian community...but I do have problems with men that think they are gods of some sort. I have lots of their teachings for on the surface it looks so nice...

When you say "like this..." concerning your friend - do you mean he's (or she?) is specifically looking toward the Homestead group in Waco, TX? Or is your friend just kind of thinking about "going country?"

The Homestead group in Waco has a specific set of core doctrines that make them problematic, apart from the agrarian lifestyle.

"Going country" is kind of cool, actually. But the problems, if there is a problem, all really lie with the accompanying belief sets.

It is more than going country. That i can live with myself.

When you say core doctrines, what are you meaning? I have looked at their site since I saw this thread and they don't have anything there in writing. According to some articles on the web that is SOP for them.

I am disturbed because there are already people leaving his church over this decision to go this direction. I don't think he even knows about HH as he does not do internet and lives up in the northern US. It is just kinda like seeing symptoms at HH that I have been observing now for some months in this other situation. Very, very distubing.

Read the thread TJJJ!!!!!

It is not that many pages and it dicusses that these guys came ouf of Kenneth Phillips church way back in the 1970's. I believe they got saved in the big hippie revival his church had in Austin in the early to mid 70's.

"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."
