Statement of Apostolic Policy

I pass a church every day on the way to work that I was pretty sure is a hardline Oneness church based on the signs out front. So today I was looking them up and instead found this church in Philadelphia.

This portion of their page caught my eye.

Statement of Apostolic Policy

You are cordially invited to The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith regardless of race, creed color, or place of national origin. We ask however, that you abide by our Apostolic rules and the women have head covering and not wear pants.

http://www.apostolic-faith.org/

Come as you are if your a man but women we have some extra things for you if you expect to be saved here.

Re: Statement of Apostolic Policy

They look to be descended from SC Johnson's church. He was hardline death on just about everything. Not a place I would ever even visit, much less attend as a member.

They have a lot of S.C. Johnson stuff on their webpage. If you really want a good laugh read their history.

They begin their history at Jerusalem and then jump to 1919. Then look at the way they transfer power. Scary.

Re: Statement of Apostolic Policy

You notice it is in the negative, "women NOT WEAR PANTS." So ladies leave your pants at the door, and come on in.

Maybe it would be better if he said please wear dresses or skirts?

Can anyone say "Nepotism"? Quite the little dynasty they got going there....

"House of Shelton"??? Not at all any pretenses to nobility going on there.

Yes, Bishop Johnson was Church Of THE Lord Jesus Christ, and Bishop Lawson was Church Of OUR Lord Jesus Christ.

Yeah pretty scary. I would use the word "cult" to describe what is going on there but we know there are no such thing as apostolic cults.
