MUCH more to the story than catching 'tremendous flack' over it. In fact, I don't think he had a chance to catch flack... I actually think he bailed out just before he married the woman.

okay i didn't know the part about leaving the doctrine too.

So my question is this: is LB going to allow TV and this vote on Res 4 to define his message and ministry, or is going to be better than that?

Thus far, this is dictating his ministry and message and that's pretty sad.

Too bad that this is all you get from his message.

He is known much more outside of this resolution issue and I think it's pretty sad that this is how you try to paint this man.

Ma'am...it's a chance we all have to take. Yes there will be some buffoons that will get on tv and make the Apostolic message look ridiculous. But...I've seen other religious broadcasting that wasn't Apostolic that looked just as ridiculous!

If the wrong UPCI preachers end up on Radio it will be an embarrasment...if they end up on the internet....it will be an embarrasment..

Maybe the REAL problem with us is NOT TV....but the embarrasing ones among us and the UPC doing nothing about them.

BTW what if the RIGHT preachers get on TV?

I seriously doubt very many of our churches will even be able to afford advertising

That's because they haven't budgeted tv into their allowances. Many were solely intent on bringing it in to the " storehouse " that the vision became closeted! If anything, the tv resolution will cause some serious minded-soul-winning churches and pastors to expand their vision.

I know Larry Booker... I preach for him and am scheduled to be there again in a few months. SO MUCH of what is being said of the man is simply not true.

He's a man of convictions and depth who has the guts to stand by his convictions even if it makes him unpopular. Obviously that is not a very 'welcomed' thing among some of the AFF crowd.

If you don't share his convictions, fine. But why attack someone over something they have a conviction over? It simply shows the shallowness of some on this forum.

For the record, I have spoken to Bro. Booker at some length and have NEVER heard him trash one person by name. I've never heard him put ONE PERSON IN HELL over this resolution. His mentality is simply, "I don't agree and will find fellowship elsewhere to protect what I believe is best for my church."
Oddly enough, I don't see that mentality reciprocated on this thread... or forum much for that matter.

In regards to his license? He says he isn't sure what he'll do and will have to make up his mind when the time comes.

Those are the facts... Not that facts would matter to those who would rather carry a club to pummel than 'good intentions'.

Sad.

Nonsense, this sermon is demonizing those that support the Res.4 period. Plus trying to denigrate the Phillips previous actions in the process, if he is only trying to do what is best for his church, then he should just preach his interpretation of the WORD and leave everyone else out of it. This is classic trying to make his light brighter by dimming someone else's.

BTW, neither Wanda or Kenneth were there to bring context to his declarations, so his use of that information is just wrong.

Chaotic... this statment is so far off base it's not even funny. Larry Booker is one of the most sought after Campmeeting teachers / preachers in the movement. Has been for years.

Granted, he may be known to some for his 'stands' but to most they know him for the many meetings he's preached.

While it may, in fact, be your opinion I find it a very unrealistic one. His record of preaching these meetings for many, many years testify to his sucessful ministry.

He also has one of the very best Churches I've ever preached at. So many things I could say about those great people.
