Across town apostolics ... (was: Beards)

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

I think that some people missed part of the point about this 
topic as it was originally posted.  The post dealt with saints 
who had already been established in the Church who moved 
to a different apostolic Church.  The situation arose that the 
person was not used, perhaps primarily because he had a 
beard, though he had been used in the other congregation.

What Brother Tyler mentioned was that often pentecostals 
who transfer to another assembly have to prove themselves.

Tyler> like you have got to *prove* yourself to be accepted...

I can speak to this first hand having experienced this myself. 
The only exceptions I have seen are people who have a well 
known name in apostolic pentecostal circles.  In my opinion, 
there should be caution when a person enters a new assembly. 
We are told to try the spirits to see whether they be of God. 
I also believe that no earthly person or force can hinder the 
effective anointing in a Christian and its eventual results.  If 
God has a designated ministry for someone will He not make 
the way?  And patience is a virtue.
