no, You should have said is this how your church operates every day. [/QUOTE
News flash:your diversionary tactic can't fool me. I'm on to you. You see I have had 40 years of dealing with smart butt christians. So your cuteness won't work with me. Good try however!
And we are on to you. It is very evident somebody is self called to a ministry office, they are not graced to be in and somebody got hurt and offended because they stood up and interrupted the pastor with either a tongue or a word. Somebody got really hurt and the spirit of rejection came upon them because after the interruption, they were either openly rebuked by the Pastor, correctly ushered out of the service, or told after service that timing is everything and that the Holy Ghost is a gentleman and would never interrupt a service, especially during the sermon. That someone is shown 1 Cor 14 over and over again, but refuses to listen or read, because their pride is in the way.
This happened to someone over and over again and at many different churches and that someone continued getting hurt, offended and rejected. It is now a root of bitterness so large, that it is manifested into all out attacks against the church, Pastors and any form of organized worship.
This someone uses out of context scriptures to support their view. They always further claim God spoke to them directly why they are being rejected. They further claim that the Holy Ghost is not free or allowed to move at any church they attend. Most of the venom is injected by their snake bites towards the ministry office of the pastor, because that is who has stopped this someone dead in their tracks time and time again.
I have dealt with this someone many times as a former Pastor and they are all the same. They despise being told God is a God of order and believe the office of the Pastor should bow down to the office of the Apostle or so called Prophet, becuase 1 Cor 12.28 lists an order.
The Pastor is appointed by the Holy Ghost to the flock he oversees , part of being a great shepherd is protecting sheep from the wolves. Most of these someones are wolves and nothing more. While a few of these someones might be graced in the gifts they claim and need maturing, equipping and completing to learn to operate in their gifts The difference is how the shepherd discerns the heart of the person. I was taught by the holy Ghost to look for pride and if the heart of the person bashes local authority in the church.
I do not know how many times somebody would call telling me I am prophet sop and so, or apostle average joe and you need me to help you in your church. No thanks I would say.
There are reasons why not everyone who claims to be a minister of God is ever handed a microphone or allowed on the platform. As a local Shepherd appointed to oversee a flock it is the local Pastors authority that dictates who can speak to his sheep or not. At the end of the day, the local pastor is accountable to God for the well being of God's sheep.
A wise and discerning shepherd would never let someone interrupt or speak to the sheep that would cause confusion, hurt or say anything that does not line up with the word.
Those that suggest the Shepherd is not God's authority in the church and another ministry gift as the right to go beyond the authority of said shepherd, is hurt, offended and operating in rejection and has never really understood Biblical authority.
