Re: Steve Pixler - Technology and Dominion - Must
I have not listened to the message but I'm sure Elder Pixler has sought The Lord and fasted,and delievered what he felt he should.
I'm need to listen to the message,but I believe the brother is a man of God.

I believe it WAS an inspired message. The problem was is that he received this revelation and (at least in part) was forced to adapt it to beliefs he already had -in a rather awkward way.
It was just enough to nearly ruin it for me.

Re: Steve Pixler - Technology and Dominion - Must
In other words the "revelation" was we can or should use technology....the addition was "but tv is evil"

Re: Steve Pixler - Technology and Dominion - Must
In my opinion if one form of media is evil then it all is.
The usage of media is what makes it good or evil.

I don't know the origin and am too lazy to look it up, but it's just a close word for tangent (or moving tangent)-and hear it used a lot myself the past year.

Re: Steve Pixler - Technology and Dominion - Must
What is it about ultra cons and 2 hour sermons? Do they not think they can get a point across in a reasonable amount of time?
From what I am hearing about the first 40 minutes being great and setting some great principles out only to then have them moulded to preconceived notions and positions must also be an ultra con device because that is exactly what the ultra con pastor from Colorado did at the AMC conference in Nashville I heard. The first 45 minutes could have been preached at Christ Church but then when he got to the application of his sermon he applied it in an extreme way to justify him not allowing anybody in his church to have the internet and nobody under the age of 18 can have a cell phone. Can you say cult?

"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."

I don't know if you have listened to Bro. Pixler's message or not, but he was very clear that he needed all of that time to get his point across. Sometimes, it does take more than 20 minutes to get all of your message conveyed correctly.
He did hold my attention and I think that he held his audiences attention for most of the 2 hours. He is a very capable teacher.
Paul, the Apostolic (who was also an ultra-con, by this forum's definition) preached long sermons as well. We know of at least one person that fell asleep and fell out of the window during his sermon.
