I doubt the pastor of the church actually wrote the web page.  The
pastor may have never seen the page.  The writer of the page may have
been an overzealous member who believes his pastor is the foremost
authority.  In fact, to that member the pastor should be the foremost
authority outside of God.

If you think I have made too many assumptions - well - forgive me.
It doesn't sound like many of you that responded to this thread have
taken as much time to research that particular church as you did to
make assumptions about them.

I have no personal knowledge about that church.  I did briefly look
through the pastor's sermon.  After a quick glance I didn't see
anything I disagreed with.  After looking at the picture of the pastor
I thought he looked like a young man with a mission.  Only time will
tell whether his mission is Christ's or his own.  During that time
it is our responsibility to pray and support any Apostolic ministry.
We should shudder at the thought of speaking against the church.  If
it is of God it will succeed.  If it is not of God it will fail on its
own.
