The Reason Some Apostolics Are Concerned: The Results of Erased Lines
Much has been said about Tulsa, the UPC's Resolution #4 and even the P.A.W. lately. Obviously there are some serious concerns in the Apostolic movement about the laying down of spiritual disciplines and changing of direction that many groups are experiencing.
The reason? It seldom stops once the decline starts. One recent example is exemplified by the vote the College of Bishops of the P.A.W. (Similar to our General Board) just had in which they voted 55 to 58 to basically accept the trinitarian movement and allow them as Brothers and Sisters in their pulpits.
Can you imagine that one of the strongest doctrinal groups that ever lived is now only THREE votes away from accepting trinitarians as right? Look at them closely and you'll see (a fact that was even acknowledged by Bishop Morris E. Golder) a gradual decline that covered the entire spectrum beginning at a disregarding of Apostolic disciplines, overlooking sin to keep talent, ignoring false doctrines and now accepting heresy as doctrinally viable.
THREE votes... The oldest oneness organization and the greatest doctrinal preachers I've ever heard are now three votes away from accepting heresy.
God wake us up.
