Welcome Fellow Christians - Steve Pixler 8/17/14

Someone PM'd me and suggested I watch / listen to Steve Pixler's sermon last Sunday at the church he pastors, Cornerstone Apostolic Church in Ft. Worth, Texas.

Because of a thread a few weeks ago about another SP sermon I had already listened to a couple of his sermons online and have been very impressed.

Last Sunday's sermon "Welcome Fellow Christians" (8/17/14) is apparently part of a series of sermons that I will now try and go back and listen to the previoius ones.

In any case I thought this sermon was one of the best I have ever heard about the subject matter in or out of old time Pentecost.

If I could pick one sermon to be preached at a UPC General Conference or WPF meeting it would be this one.

I don't think the fortitude it takes to preach messages like this in the context of an old time Pentecostal enviroment and history can be over emphasized. Men have been misunderstood, mischaracterized, and alienated for much less frankness than this.

So far the three sermons I have heard in the last month or two are amazing examples of the right way to prepare a church to carry out the Great Commission in a better way. What he preaches about goes to the core of parts of Pentecostal culture that are not just extra biblical but unbiblical.

My hope will be that conservatives who would never be open to a word from a liberal will be open to considering this word from one of their own.

Here is a link to the Cornerstone Apostolic media page where you can find the link to the 8/17/14 Sunday sermon;

"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."
