May I share an idea you can chew up and spit out, or add to it? I’ll share the idea and then not add anything else to it.For so-called Pentecostal organizations which agree on most things; AG, COG, Pentecostal Holiness, COGOP, Pentecostal Church of God etc., what about ministers from those groups being able to obtain a Pentecostal Passport that would allow them to pastor in any of those denominations?What do you feel would be good about it? What do you feel would not be good about it?Doyl________________
Who would administer it?It sounds like too much administration. There are also a lot of independent churches that would be left out. The A/G wouldn’t need it, would they, since they are a bit freer about not restricting ministers from pastoring outside the denomination.I am imagining spies with fake Pentecostal passports. ________________
Of course it sound great to the layman, or it does to me. But….. It may open a barrel of worms or fish hooks.BUT is is a good idea…. There are a lot of young wanna be pastors out there who want to SERVE, it would open the field for sure. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
Would getting the COG (Cleveland) to accept a ‘passport’ plan be any harder than getting it to change it’s policies to allow more freedom to pastor churches outside of the denomination________________
