Apostolic Church Complex

Apostolic Church Complex
DR.. Burdette spoke of the original
church and it's simplicity, saying in part
1.-THE apostolic church was originally
the simplest thing imaginable. and today
1t is the most complex. There were nc
committees in the original organization
no sessions, and no preachers. The
churches were not built in the great cen
ters. The people were not taken before
the deacons and examined as to their be
liefs and then put on six months proba
tion to see how they turned out, or to SEE
If they believed If things were or wert
not to be. No, they were accepted or
their faith
There was no machinery in the orig
inal church. When members went from
one city to another they didn't carry q
letter. 1t was sufficient that they were
there.
81 wish that I had lived 1000 years ago.
But the church federation is taking us
back. AS 1 belong to the federation, then
i belong to each church of the fedora
ton. We are making the denominational
lines faint and L will be glad when they
fade away. Perhaps we will have 10
wait 1000 years for it. but we will be
having q good time"
