Many other devout Apostolic artists also perform/minister in a wide range
of venues. The McGruder family's itinerary, for instance, includes numerous
dates at Baptist churches, Assemblies of God and other Trinitarian
churches. They recently played three days at a charismatic conference in
Missouri that featured speakers such as Billy Joe Daugherty and Jim "I Was
Wrong" Bakker.

Randy Phillips, Dan Dean and Shawn Craig are still Apostolics. As for
holiness, I think past discussions on Hotter-Fire...I mean
Higher-Fire...have demonstrated that there is a wide range of
sincerely-held views regarding holiness and, more specifically, outward
"standards" of holiness.

I don't think it would be appropriate for us to publicly scrutinize the
"outward appearance" of precious brothers in Christ who are not part of
this forum, simply to surmise whether they are "holy" enough to meet our
personal standards of acceptability.

These guys have been a tremendous blessing to me. They are a tremendous
blessing to their home churches.

Let's take to heart these words from Dan's "Pray Me Home," the closing song
on their latest CD:

If you see something in me
To cause you to question
If my faith is secure
I'm asking you please
Just show me compassion
Even though you're unsure
'Cause the greater the war that
I'm going through
The greater my need
And I want nothing more than
To know you're willing
To join me on my knees
