Or should we retroactively repay all tithes to the Assemblies of God for all of the churches and ministries that left their organization back in 1916 or whenever it was. The whole district of Louisiana was lost by them. Or maybe we all need to repay the Roman Catholic Church as Protestants since all of the German Catholic churches left with Martin Luther or the English Churches left with Henry VIII. It's a preposterous idea. Of course I understand the underlying message. But if we believe that the way of the righteous is as the shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day, we can expect evolution, progression and schisms as the Body of Christ moves forward to the second coming of Jesus.
