Western USA here.
pray for our local Corps. We are getting our first set of officers, from CFOT.
We have had Envoys (untrained on TSA principles and practices) for the past 15 yrs. Not sure what will happen. Will some of the congregation leave due to the differences?
After 15 yrs it has become a personality run church, with little TSA influence. More Pentecostal Church of God. REALLY!
I have talked with the leaders thru the years and it has come to this past 4 months, January that I was told I don't belong here.
Years ago, Someone during testimony time gave high praise to John Wilkes Booth for starting The Salvation Army. nothing was said afterword to refute the fact otherwise. The leaders didn't want to ruffle feathers. Excuse me, John Wilkes Booth did not start TSA. (water off a ducks back)
John Wilkes Booth was the assassin to Abe Lincoln.
We believe that continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ.
We believe that it is the privilege of all believers to be wholly sanctified, and that their whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
these two articles above have been shot at against many times during the years at Wednesday evening Bible Study. I have told the leaders about the teachings but to no avail. they don't want to ruffle feathers. The Bible teacher which is an adherent is still teaching today.
I cannot return to my corps until they are no longer the leaders. I currently attend Calvary Chapel.
