Conf. Thurs. Message # 5 on 7-22-10 Final

This was the final message of the conference. I had no internet reception for 3/4 of it, and therefore have no comments about it.

However, I will share a disappointment about the speaker’s unfaithfulness to the KJV he claims is the final authority. A few years ago, I talked to him about the over-sight among ‘mid-Acts-ers’ who called the leaders / main preachers in their churches by The Living Bible’s term ‘pastors’ .... rather than following PAUL’s word in the KJV of the office of a ‘bishop’. After I brought up the verses to his attention, he told me that he did not like titles of any kind, and that the scripture never referred to Paul as ‘the apostle Paul’ but as ‘Paul the apostle’. That afternoon, when he was called to the podium to give an updated report on the television ministry, I began counting after I heard him several times refer to the preacher as "Pastor ___". I counted over a dozen times in the few minutes of his presentation. Not only did he use ‘Pastor’ for a title repeatedly, but he also created several verb forms of pastor, like, "He pastors .... He was pastoring .... He pastored," etc. Are there no men among the ‘mid-Acts-ers’ that desire a GOOD WORK? They are ashamed of the word ‘bishop’ and they boycott it .... rather than defend it with rigor the way they do with the word ‘dispensation’!

I did not see the afternoon seminars, but their theme gave me an idea for a message entitled, "Why I am not a Mid-Acts-er."

The piano playing and the band were the good parts of the conference.

Since I was corrected for my incorrect spelling of the word ‘paradigm’ .... I felt obliged to return the favor. When you form a contraction from two words, the apostrophe goes in the place where the letters are left out. So the Southern slang for "you all" is y’all .... not ya’ll.

This is David Dowell, saying, "Think about it!"
