Huh? He couldn't find wisdom, it escaped him?

His personality and ministry are both huge.

Brilliant, witty, and authoratative, he is one of a kind.

Ahhh...now you're talking about my bishop...*sigh*

He is one of a kind. Bishop Wilson was an old man when he was in his 20s...old in wisdom and knowledge, I mean...

Leo Upton--I'm not sure how to say this in a way that doesn't sound like a left-handed compliment, but he was dry in personality, and dry in his preaching. He talked slow, moved slow, and would seldom raise his voice.

But thousands received the Holy Ghost under his ministry.

He was proof that you don't have to do the rapid fire oratory with all the trimmings to have a harvest. He was just himself, but had a powerful anointing of faith, and signs followed his ministry. He was another one-of-a-kind. I imagine Bishop Holland could tell us about him. My wife received the Holy Ghost with his hand on her head, as did thousands of others.

Then there's hope for Bishop Epley.

I believe in an open pulpit, so long as Scriptural lines are not crossed.

Unscriptural, huh? Let's see Elihu in action in Job 32 with his mega-rebuke, I'll spare you from his entire unleashing and just give you a sample:

“I am young and you are old,
so I held back from telling you what I think.
I thought, ‘Those who are older should speak,
for wisdom comes with age.’
But there is a spirit within people,
the breath of the Almighty within them,
that makes them intelligent.
Sometimes the elders are not wise.
Sometimes the aged do not understand justice.
So listen to me,
and let me tell you what I think.

ROFL!

You are holding up a guy like that as a great example?

You make my point for me.

Let's see what God thought about their methods...

Job 42:7 ¶ And it was [so], that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me [the thing that is] right, as my servant Job [hath].

J,

You have just hoisted yourself on your own petard.

Someone is really gonna feel crunchy....God was speaking to one of the three elders....Elihu, who I am speaking of, is not one of the three...he's the young gun. You are laughable!
