Re: Non-A/P Pastor Commits Suicide
I read this news earlier today and watched some video. I sure hate it anytime a person following Christ, especially those in leadership. end up in a situation like this.
I believe in mental illness but I also believe in demons who love nothing better than to destroy people. Especially those in Christian leadership.
I used to be certain in my belief that any person committing suicide was doomed to hell but while I still think that is the case most of the time I do wonder in cases where people are not in their right mind if that is true.

"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."
