Honey child? I always thought you were a guy. Now I'm going to assume that you're a woman. But, if you're a guy you're going to have to stand in line next to that other dude that calls me papi.
Houston you crack me up your straight up funny. I don't know that dude, why do I have stand in line next to him???

I have managed to stay out of this for 53 pages 'cause it's just none of my business... but I had a funny to share...
One local pastor was caught several years back sleeping with several women from his congregation... he evidently lured them into bed under the guise of marriage counseling... Just saw a post from his new wife (who I used to go to church with) on FB that he is not only pastoring a church in another state but is giving.... drumroll... a marriage seminar! WTH?
I have a professional licence that can be taken for misconduct... shouldn't pastors have something like that?

Exactly. What many don't understand is in the cultural dynamic of our world it is not very prudent to stand up in front of a live audience and go to calling people out, revealing secrets and hidden sin.
I have know many "modern day prophets" who operate clearly in the office and in the anointing gift of prophecy that do so on an individual basis WITHOUT a gallery of spectators.
A man or woman doesn't have to be reprimanded or warned in public by a prophetic ministry for it to be legitimate. And beyond the sin involved…no one knows what went on behind closed doors.
And if it was not of God, that person that was outed is ruined

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
I think there should be pastor licensing. The only requirement should be to produce a signed and notarized letter from God stating that you are called to be a pastor.
Simple!

there are, they just aren't always recognized as such. T.w. Barnes was one.
He called a man into his office once, a local pastor, before a revival service. Bro. Barnes told the man that after the service the man was going to run away with his secretary. He told him details only god and the adulterees would know. The man broke down and started down the path of true repentance, saving his family. If i remember bro. Barnes told the man his whole family would backslide and he'd never make it back. The man never preached again, but the family stayed together and they continued living for god.
awesome!!! Awesome!!! Awesome!!!! I miss the genuine prophets of old. We have all this modern day sensationalism in the prophetic ministry today: Yuk!!!
