I've read a lot about him, and the jury is still out for me on what to make of it all. But he is someone worth investigating, I think.

Here is a long article written about him:

And here is a video of John Arcovio preaching in Liberia, where it states Joshua was immersed in the name of Jesus and received the gift of the Holy Spirit:

Thanks for the info ... as soon as I have some spare time I will read his bio.

Re: And you thought YOU were apostolic?

Seeing that "it is written" in I Corinthians 12:28 that "God hath set some in the church, first apostles, ..." then should we NOT have apostles in His church that is present in the earth today? Surely He did NOT mean this as applying ONLY to the "original" apostles of the church during the 1st Century!

Re: And you thought YOU were apostolic?

Why not? I thot that was what you meant in your last post? I always likened it to the early part of my walk, right after baptism, when a miracle happened for me, and i hear others.

Two things the ministry DOES NOT need:
(1) any type of disclaimer; and (2) to be a "non-profit"
organization under the will of a government.
501c....3... means you're not free?

How about Covenators!

Not just any apostle, but a Covenor!

Find out if General Buck Naked is a Covenor, maybe they are going around Africa turning everyone's fillings into gold. Also find out if General Buck Naked is a lateral apostle, or a vertical apostle. Maybe he is a suffragan bishop?
