anukulapo: @jesuzpoa and jo--no need for scriptural reference and back-up NOR history from wikipedia.

Just tell us about yourself and what's obtainable in your church.

Justify your scriptural claim by your action. I just want to know if you practice what you preach.

@image123: now I don't see these guys to comment. Did you scare them off? LOL.

@Mod: please promote this thread. I think it will bring subject to a true end.

HumbledbYGrace: Men are not allowed to wear anything except their hair and it must be really short...a man who keeps long hair,braided or dreadlocks is a disgrace among us

As for us woman we can do as we please to our hair

Just saying

Bidam: how come i get this funny feeling that Jesus paintings in catholic churches has a very long hair..is it due to the fact that He is a nazarene?

anukulapo: Thanks bro Goshen for honouring my thread.

I didn't want you to explain the scriptures anymore. I just wanted a straight answers to these question

1) Do you wear hat/cap during your church worship service?

anukulapo:

2) Do your pastor(s) wear hat/cap during your church worship service?

anukulapo:

3) Are women asked to always use scarf/veil in your church during service always?

anukulapo:

4) Are women free to participate in worship service with/without scarf/veil in your church (as they will)?

Goshen360:

I do not wear hat/cap but if I do,


Yes, my pastor had worn hat/cap in the past and can wear anytime but he doesn't make law out of it to wear or not to wear every time we gather to worship.

anukulapo:

From your statement above, I can deduce that;
1) You have never worn a cap/hat during worship service. Even if you dressed with a hat/cap, you removed it before you entered into the church.

anukulapo:

2) If your pastor did, during and all through a worship service (praying and prophecying) it might be just once but I wonder what purpose it served.

anukulapo:

I will accept your stand on the "covering" "veil" "Hat" "Cap" issue if you put on an attire that a cap/hat will be fitting to and have it on all through the service for atleast 6 times in a year--and that, if your pastor does that also.

anukulapo:

if you don't do(present continous tense) this, I will conclude that you are teaching what you can't practice.
Matt 5:19
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall DO AND TEACH them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.


I am still yet to see any male pentecostal pastor put on a cap/hat all through the service;and that, as a regular way of doing. Till then,I reserve my comment.

Bidam:
lies..lies.. late Archbishop Benson Idahosa always wears a cap while preaching..used to watch him on TV....u can confirm it from others...

Goshen360:

The truth is, if I want to wear a hat/cap, I do and it has nothing with scripture and I will prove that to you in a moment. Besides, have you seen me before and how do you know I remove cap/hat when entering a church - I told you earlier that I/we are the church, not the building so what church are you talking about?. You don't have to elevate the building more that what bible calls the church itself.

anukulapo:

Happy you played into this side. Now to the fashion of my question, If the father of pentecostalism as he is called ALWAYS (from your post) wears a cap(like the ranks of catholic bishops and cardinals), then does he do it as a matter of choice or as in the was of the catholic bishops or the Aaron's priest[/b]hood?

I wonder if it was the scripture that told him to ALWAYS put it on(I don't think he ALWAYS put it on anyways but if he does,then...) or it was a tradition he learnt/developed himself.

[b]Ask yourself why other pentecostal pastors (alive) have not been seen in such attire. Bishop Oyedepo is a son-in-faith to him (you can tell me if he has ever worn such).Waiting for the likes of Pst Adeboye, Pst Oritsejafor, Pst Okotie, Pst Oyakilomhe, Pst
Adefarasin, Pst S. Adeyemi...to put it on just for once (and eventually you)
There are some other things you don't know about Bishop Idahosa's appearance--you should find out.

Bidam: [/b]@ the emboldened i don't know and i really don't care anyway..i just pointed out a fact you missed that i saw him on tv...if u see him when you die don't hesitate to ask him sha..why bother us with such frivolities ...other Pentecostal ministers have alot to do which is feed the sheep than bother on trivial appearances..as for me not putting a cap..does it matter? what matters is CHRIST in me the hope of GLORY.... In fact what is THIS PHOBIA you have about cap issue anywayz MAY THE good LORD open your eyes...lets forget about this attire issue and let me show you the kind of church that Christ desire upon the face of the EARTH...Take a good look @ this CHURCH:

The purpose of gathering
Churches are based upon [b]koinonia [/b]and devoted to mutual edification – not worship
performances, not warfare, not entertainment, not evangelism, not leadership, not
authenticating some apostolic ministry and certainly not to have a visible presence in the
town. [Most historic churches were at their most effective when the authorities couldn’t
find them.] Now good churches will be evangelistic, will worship, will have good leaders
and so on, but they are structured in order to equip the saints and for every member to
participate in some meaningful way. This means that churches are not huge, are not front
led, are encouraging places to be, have no imposing liturgical practices (like a dominant
band on a stage), are informal, organic and family based places where people submit to one
another in love. They are places where people get to know each other and build trusting
relationships; where visitors can feel welcome and accepted, where Biblical norms (like
breaking bread) are always practised. Indeed, the Lord’s Supper is the principal reason
given in the NT for gathering together. This is a Biblical church.


Instead, Charismatic gatherings are usually for a strategic purpose THE QUESTION IS: IS THE FORMER YOUR KIND OF CHURCH? OR THE LATTER? FOOD FOR THOT MY BRODA.

anukulapo:
We that believe the bible says men should not have cap,we don't put it on while you that says otherwise have not been putting it on--so why do you think we are wrong? You don't practice what you preach so...

anukulapo:

Okay, should a woman put scarf on or not....to cover her hair?

A direct answer to your question as pasted above is [size=20pt]YES![/size], a woman should put scarf on (as you and see evidently in all the C1 churches around you.)

Image123: hahahahaha oya goshen wear those pants now. it's one thing to be caught pants down, it's another thing to stay pants down. You're getting old, lolololol. And don't call my name any kain how, you hear my friend.

anukulapo: Dear Bro Goshen,
I hope i am quoting you right. if yes, Please allow me to answer you in your way of response from this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1155998/restitution-christs-teaching-church-old/2

Answer the question I asked you and stop being sentimental playing pranks about the issue.

Regards.

anukulapo: Maintain the honour you have on NL sir. I think you should just go ahead and answer the question. I am sure many people are waiting on you so as to learn as usual.
If you continue with this beating around the bush approach, then I cannot but agree with image that you are loosing form.

August_Rush :

Ok now what's the essence of this thread? In my opinion I sense you are a Christian wwith pride and you also feel you know too much. Do better things with your time,ok? Go and win souls. Why don't you talk about the love of Christ, how God so loved the world that He sent Him to die for sinners for us all. What's the essence of this thread anyway. You are just too religious. You just want to gain an upper hand.
