How ever did the early Christians get the Holy Ghost, I wonder? Thankfully, the post-apostolic Christians switched to Sunday and have kept on trucking as Spirit-filled as ever, ever since. Right?

Oh, wait...

Side question: Who is responsible for giving people the Holy Ghost? The preacher? The prayer warriors? The altar workers? Sister Biddy in the back row? I wonder how many Sunday keeping "apostolic churches" haven't had anyone get the Holy Ghost (or even get baptised in water) in years?

Another side note: The CACI are caught up in wearing prayer shawls, some of them were slipping into the Sacred Name trap (although it appears they have put the brakes on that recently I guess), and most importantly the whole thing is yet another money scheme for "licensing" preachers, in my opinion. I am sure they mean well, like all denominations, but the whole "let's make a name for ourselves and set up a FEE COLLECTION SCHEDULE FOR A PIECE OF PAPER SO YOU CAN SAY YOU ARE PART OF SOME IN GROUP" just really gets tiresome, after a couple centuries. In my opinion, of course.

Personally the home missions work I started has not received a offering this year. The saints we have are not at a position for that. The Lord sustains our need. Yet, in time I will teach about giving, and I will teach 10% as a guideline. Yet, it’s not a heaven or hell issue with me. If they give 2% that’s between them and God.

About The CACI

Covenant Apostolics are Spirit-Filled, Acts 2:38 believers who observe the 7th Day Sabbath and celebrate the great festivals found in the scriptures. We are linked through a rapidly expanding network of congregations, bible study groups, and ministers.

The twentieth century brought great light back into Christianity. Several scripturally focused movements began to resist the pagan influences of Rome. Among these are millions who have discovered the true 7th Day Sabbath, rejected the deeply pagan celebrations of Christmas and Easter (Solstice & Equinox), and reestablished the New Covenant practice of observing biblical feast days "regarding them unto the Lord".

Add to that the Pentecostal/Apostolic Faith movement restoring Spiritual gifts, exuberant lively worship, Water Baptism in the NAME, and the “One God” message. What has emerged is a vibrant, Spirit-filled group of believers who are passionately connected to the Messiah and boldly living out the culture of His coming Kingdom! Our passion is to experience and share the Authentic Gospel of the Kingdom around the world.

I know Brother Jesse White, I believe he is sincere in his seeking for truth as far as he understands it. The organization thing is part of his belief system. He is third generation or maybe forth? So in my opinion you might take the boy out of the UPCI, but you can never get the UPCI out of the boy.

Amanah, are you not happy at your church? Just wondering.

I thought I heard a while back somewhere that Chris Reed was going to join Jesse Whites group.

Gifts of the Spirit and infillings of the Spirit were happening in a recent utube I watched of their service. So, you are incorrect.

Thus, every CACI Elder and Elect Lady is authorized in historic succession to perform the duties and sacraments given to us by the Eternal Head of the Church, Jesus the Messiah.

This ancient gift is not given nor is it to be received lightly

Good God in Zion!

What a hodgepodge. These people have nothing to do with the Eastern Orthodox Church, who would certainly reject them as heretics.
