Re: Is this Apostolic?

Don't know anything about this "apostle" but that glowing purple carpet in that video has to be about the ugliest I have ever seen in a church!!! Good grief!!!!! Did they allow the blind ministry to interior decorate? LOL!!!!

"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."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

Re: Is this Apostolic?

first of all I agree with the comment about the purple carpet. I like the color but WOW that is over the top. secondly I agree with Randy about the pattern of speech.
third I never question someone who claims to be healed or their form of worship. that is between them and God.
I just pray anyone that God uses never forgets WHO it is that should get all the PRAISE, GLORY, and HONOR

Sorry, but I think we should and are obligated to do so. I would even question magicians at a show I paid to get tickets to watch. How much more should we validate and verify a claim that God Almighty removed a tumor or gave the highest GPA to a boy?

I am tired of pronouncements of a myriad of instantaneous "healings" while my two quadriplegic friends are conveniently passed over in favor of those with sore muscles and practice of psychosomatic medicine on others. Since proclamation of deliverance is a core tenant of the "healing" event, the actual proclamation or claim of healing often does not resemble reality.

I do not believe this is what Jesus practiced in the Gospels, nor what occurred with the Apostles in the book of Acts.

In all actuality, it is possible that the carpet is not as hideous as it appears in this video. CCI - you should know more than anyone else on this forum how poor quality cameras can affect color.

But I will agree - IF the carpet is the color it appears to be, it is UGLY.
