Why did it take so long to find out the house church you attended for years was in false doctrine? One glance at the website you posted of the home church organization was enough to show me they were in false doctrine.

Honestly, based on that, you have more to be concerned with than beards.

Colored eggs, baskets, ham dinners, Easter egg hunts, magic rabbits, etc. are all pagan influences dating back to the worship of Tammuz and Ishtar.

If your church was involved with any of these things, it has committed Abomination in the sight of the LORD.

Come out from among them... Come out of her my people, that you not partake in her plagues.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

You know, I know all about the pagan influence of Easter, but ham dinners? C'mon here...are you just playing around?

You really don't mean that my orange marmalade/brown sugar glazed ham means I've committed an abomination...you're funnin' with me, right?

Sister - A changes his beliefs just to try and provoke. At one point I put him on block, because he refused to engage in "honest" debate/discussion.
For us old forum users I would propose that the spirit of DA has seemed to overtaken him.
And that did not end well.

My former pastor in Elk Grove, CA, has had an Easter drama for several years, and with outstanding results., as have many other churches, POA for example.

The community response for the Rock Church mentioned above has been overwhelming, and there have been many who have come to the Lord through this effort.

And as for POA, Bill Clinton showed up just the other night again to see their production...regardless of how one may feel about he and his companion, any time they can be around the Spirit of the Lord, it's a good thing.

Regardless of how we may feel about it, there are people who don't have our particular conviction re this, and they think that going to church on Easter is a good thing, so who am I to miss an opportunity to give them the Message?

We don't have to have bunnies and eggs to let folks know we are having service, call it what you like, and we would be honored if you would attend.

Again, just my opinion...

Not sure if you addressed this, but what say ye?

It's a longer story than that.

I was between churches because the Spirit filled house church I was attending evaporated after the elder moved. One day at the airport, I met a man who was an elder in this local house church network. We talked for a while and I shared my experience with house churching. He invited me and I explained that I was Apostolic. He was hyped, he stated that they never had an Apostolic attend before. He explained that the nature of their meetings are participative and they have Christians from many different backgrounds in attendance. And he actually asked me to bring an Apostolic voice to the discussion. I thought it would be an opportunity to learn more about house church structure, leadership, etc., and share the Apostolic truth. In house church gatherings, much of what I shared was never refuted and seemed to leave them convicted. But no changes were being made. The larger organization they were a part of certainly wouldn't have supported such changes and after some time of fellowshipping with them, I determined that they'd always be loyal to their "mothership". Not to mention that as time passed a couple members began laying veiled insinuations of heresy. It was time to go.

None of them can say that they never heard Oneness and Acts 2:38 explained.

The above is a very brief run down of what happened.

Hey, I'm just sharing the pagan origin of some of these things. lol

You're free to eat whatever you like and participate in anything you like.
