What the World Sees as Apostolic

Amen to NO fellowship with him and I told him to his face.

I did work in the recovery of two families that had family members that were abused by the man.

Also, I personally talked with the county prosecutor about him and appeared in court at his request, though that case was dropped.

But, I do support the "wrong" people, whoever they are. Guilty as charged.

She was responding directly to me. (And basing her response on an incorrect and misguided assumption at that.) By now I have become used to her anti- UPC posts. Just a little surprised at your quick suppport of her blanket statement that could be twisted 40 ways from Dallas to Shreveport.

God Bless

Surprised?

Don't you sign the "affirmation from hell"?

LOL! Indeed I do and I have no remorse in doing so. No different to me than getting a new drivers license every few years.

From Dallas to Shreveport, huh?

Does the girl have you on the ropes? I was not responding to any anti-UPC statement. Just that one which struck me as significant.

I never support everyone on everything they say simply because I respond to one snipit of a remark. That should be understood about all of us.

I would have ZERO problem signing it and as far as I know have never preached for a Brother that would have a problem signing it.

Not only Elder Martin, whom I loved and appreciated too, I could name many mighty who have fallen leaning on the flesh.

Now, about my ego. Big as an Elephant, huh?

Carroll Martin was not able to keep his testimony on trusting God for hid healing but he did lay sick for over a year and if you knew him then you know the agonies he suffered. I do not excuse him but he did not fall into sin. He fell because of a stand on divine healing.

Bro. Strange,

The post you replied to specifically stated that I preach another Gospel. That was my concern. Perhaps highlighting your point of agreement would keep folks like me questioning which part you are actually responding to.

The day someone such as her has me on the ropes is the day I need to ring the bell and count myself out. It just ain't gonna happen.

I am not UPC and folks may even feel I am anti-UPC but the problem with the whole issue is 'strange' to me the AS has nothing in it than the original license
application did? They signed to get the license then fuss over the AS??? It is beyond me. Now I understand The Atlantic district did not have to that originally they took them as a group but the rest did.

Carrol Martin was an APOSTOLIC preacher that died an APOSTOLIC preacher.

He never let down on the Godhead, NB, Holiness or separation.

His life was clean.

So God didn't heal him like he thought He would/could makes no difference to me about his life and his Message.
