Psalm 133:1-3 Amplified Bible1 BEHOLD, HOW good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment poured on the head, that ran down on the beard, even the beard of Aaron [the first high priest], that came down upon the collar and skirts of his garments [consecrating the whole body]. 3 It is like the dew of [lofty] Mount Hermon and the dew that comes on the hills of Zion; for there the Lord has commanded the blessing, even life forevermore [upon the high and the lowly].
Matthew 5:21-26 NLT 21 “You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.’ 22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. 23 “So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, 24 leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God. 25 “When you are on the way to court with your adversary, settle your differences quickly. Otherwise, your accuser may hand you over to the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, and you will be thrown into prison. 26 And if that happens, you surely won’t be free again until you have paid the last penny."
Thank you to those who maintain and moderate this forum. I know it is a blessing to many. As most of you know, after being on AFF for many years, I have chosen to withdraw and not post. I have offended and been offended on here so I choose to withdraw as not to cause more contention. As I have on a couple other occasions when things got heated, I again apologize to those that I have offended on here. As I read many of the posts I have written, I am ashamed and embarrassed that I posted these and offended people with them. I make no excuses for it, I was wrong and I am sorry. I do not wish to dialogue anymore about any of it, I simply want to apologize and leave. I am guilty of conduct unbecoming of a minister on this forum and I have repented to God for it and I repent to you for it. There are a couple people that I have had very strong disagreements with and with an effort not to stir the pot anymore, I will not rehearse it and I apologize to you. I was wrong for engaging you and I am sorry for it. This is especially to "Titus2Woman" and I sincerely apologize to you and am sorry for the way I treated and responded to you. I wish you well and ask for your forgiveness.
Most that know me know that arguing is not my nature. I love to laugh and cut up and many of my posts I tried to inject some humor or use tongue in cheek and I offended a few that really felt I was dead serious and for that I apologize again. Many of my post started out very light hearted with a lot of humor but snowballed into major disagreements and again, I apologize.
I know some will take this and really work it to get a response and for that I am sorry. I will not respond no matter how ugly or pointed it gets or how those that have been offended copy and paste page after page of posts I made and say - HE IS NOT REAL and is not apologetic. I just want to say there was no need for threats to destroy anyone's name and reputation or threats of phone calls to other ministers and that is where I had to just stop posting.
I wish you all well. For those who continually pressed me to know where I was doctrinally, Here is what some want to know and others hate me to declare. I refuse to argue and debate this any longer and will not respond to criticism, threats and untrue statements.
Here is my Statement of Faith.
I continue to preach the Revelation of Jesus Christ, Faith toward the One True and Living God, Repentance from Sins, Water Baptism by full immersion in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, the Baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of Speaking in Tongues as the Spirit give the utterance, a Holy & Sanctified life of separation from the world and the iminate return of the Lord Jesus Christ to this earth, the full restoration of the Apostolic & Prophetic Gifts, Offices and Ministries to the Church of Jesus Christ today, Tithing, Giving, Sowing, Investing in the Kingdom of God. The merging of the Apostolic & Prophetic to bring about the Glory of the Everlasting Kingdom of God in the Earth. I preach there is a Heaven to gain for those that are born into the Kingdom of God and there is a Hell to shun for those that reject the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that every person on the face of the earth needs to know the Lord Jesus Christ and to know a Victorious Life of Faith and Hope in Him.
Our primary ministry for 40 years in 61 nations has been preaching the Word of Faith and demonstrating the Power of Jesus Christ. I do not apologize for being a Faith Preacher and for the many Miracles that God has given us. To our Lord Jesus Christ be ALL the honor and Glory.
There are other things that I teach and preach but this has already become too long so I will end it. I covet your prayers.
I bless you all in the name above every name, The Lord Jesus Christ.

This is what I love about you, Timmy.....when someone bares their soul like this, you take the time to think thru your responses, consider them carefully, and then somehow, come up with JUST the right words..........

Any particular thing make you decide to no longer post on AFF? Just curious as interacting on here in moderation seems to me to be no big deal for any Christian. I have never understood the angst and drama over posting or not posting.

Titus2woman on AFF
"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."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
