Unity's Foe

Doris,
	You really hit this subject right on the mark.
If we are oneness apostolics with the same beliefs, we should be
united together maybe not as one organization but as one in heart,
and prayer.  Your posting made me think about the situation right
here in Hendricks County.  I live in Danville.  Not more than 5
or so blocks from me is a Apostolic church.(UPC) I however go to
the church in Brownsburg, 30 minutes away.(UPC)  The reason is 
because my mom and dad were invited to the Brownsburg church and
never went anywhere else.  The Borwnsburg church practically
started the Danville church many years ago.  The Danville church
has grown and become a large congregation.  Well the Brother who
is pastoring the Danville church does not like the Brownsburg
church. Why?  Becauseare standards are not identical to his.
My church has standards nut we also have some stubbern people
who do not follow them.  The other pastor see's this and say we
don't have standards.  This has torn the two churches apart.

I am now dating a girl from the Danville church.  This too has
caused commotion.  So an So is dating a guy from Brownsburg..*gasp*!
The division is so bad that they do not associate with us in any way.
I won't go into detail but I and my friend have been preached about
from the pulpit of the Danville church because we are from B-burg.
It had to do with the churches standards and I am here to tell you
that I have standards and many are higher than well....anyways
I have been praying that this will end and the two churches would
unite in prayer to conquer Hendricks county along with the
Plainfield church and the recent home missions church in Avon.
