BUT....he did understand you cannot legislate holiness!

You just be in the right state bro...

I believe that bro. Urshan was strong for the upholding of the manual. he was trying to keep the thing from splitting over a false assumption that things that had been veiwed as interpretable would remain so...recreational activities and stuff...

But I don;t think for one minute that he wuld advocate not supporting a district that was inclined to enforce the standards as listed in the manual...especially hair, tv, etc....

The manual DOES legislate holiness in several categories.

No reason to hide Bro...That was true as Pastor, and it was true as the type of GS he was.

AS is Bishop Haney!
What a great leader for our time!

TELL me just ONE "standard" that does not fall under the "Wholeheartedly Dissaprove" column....just one.

THE ONLY thing clear cut is TV...and a minister not having one.

You are in the promised land bro...it doesn't work that way most everywhere else.

Some districts are adament about "upholding the manual". Even to the point of carrying them onto the platform at district conference AND Campmeeting! If have seen more than once a CAMPMEETING sermon being preached with a bible in one hand and a manual in the other! I heard the dist super say yearly, "My JOB is to UPHOLD THE MANUAL!"

In most districts those "holiness standards" in the Articles of Faith ARE enforcable!

The bottom line is that I really appreciate David Wasmundt's contribution to the church and I pray that with his heart blockages taken care of he regains his strength and well being and has a new phase of ministry that will supercede all that has gone on before.

I think NYLP ought to invite him to be a guest on AFF and have a discussion thread. Or at least have him post anonymously and join in our discussions!

Just like folks quote Tom Fudge and only a small handfull of Canadians new him or of him before his book.

I was familiar with the name but not the individual.
Some time after I was baptized in Jesus' name in October 1955 I started going to a UPC church in Racine, WI. The church was named Bethel Tabernacle and was pastored by Bro. Lester Thompson who had previously been an editor of the Pentecostal Herald. The man who baptized me, Bro. L.R. Mitchell, had gone to Minot, ND to plant a church. I received the HGB at Bethel Tabernacle on May 20, 1956. Then in September 1956 I went to St. Paul, MN to Bible School.
We used to have fellowship meetings in that area of the state on certain Saturdays with an afternoon service where different preachers spoke briefly, dinner, Youth Meeting (Pentecostal Conquerors), and then an evening meeting. I remember some blond guy(s) named Wasmundt from the UPC in nearby Kenosha, WI but didn't really know any of them.

I was familiar with him since the first publication of Neo Phariseeism.
