Mat, the comment you reference was in regard to the succession of leadership in both organizations. Both seemed to be "kept in the family," which I jokingly referenced as a dictatorship. That ain't no pot shot, it's a fact. |

I have to stand in defense of OTCP's position. I do not know him personally and have no idea of his identity. I do find it encouraging and edifying when someone will stand up and identify error when it creeps into the body of Christ. Anyone who will make the effort OTCP does to bring spiritual healing to what is a spiritual cancer in the body of Chirst has my complete support. The church today, particularly Pentecostals and Charismatics, are the most gullible, easily mislead and impacted by foolishness, of all in church history.

I too was raised in that same atmosphere and never was ashamed or dismayed at the holiness stand of those saints of God. The tragedy is that the COG has long since defaulted regarding sanctification in a practical sense. I still believe the Word of God.
Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: . . ."
To choose to stand against holiness and sanctification is to choose sin over salvation. |
I am glad you responded the way you did. I am in no way knocking holiness. I hated the hardness, the backbiting, the gossiping, the glares, the whispers, the fighting. the all night services where people shouted, fell out, spoke in tongues, testified of how God had delivered them and then cussed someone out on the street right in front of the church.
Please help me understand how that goes with holiness? |

Bro, you live in Kentucky, and you don't know where it comes from? |
Point taken. So this truly is a regional thing and not a biblical thing? |

I agree, what you describe is not holiness. But that is not the holiness I saw growing up. I saw people who simply were not willing to take the chance that they would not be found pleasing to God. No sacrifice and no amount of leaving off whatever might displease the Lord was too much. Whether something was wrong was not the primary issue. Whether one was willing to take the chance of offending God, that was the question. |

Holiness comes form the heart, if the heart is clean everything else will be. When I see people dressed "holiness" and then their words and/or actions do not match what they are trying to convey - that really bothers me. |
