Inconclusive news, the reason why their were bar from entry was because of their dressing. It has being the doctrine of the church for all women coming to the church must cover their hair but unfortunately for them they did not do that so the pastor refused to bend the rules. It is not the issue of the ladies in question are from Catholic

Im surprised o. I thought Catholics dress well

Fake News!!!!
It is a known fact that the NKST church the second largest church in Tiv land( after the Roman Catholic Church ) has a strict doctrine regarding weddings. One of of which is not permitting even members (but Non-communicants) from participating as groomsmen and bridesmaids as the case may be. This means that even if you're a member of the church but not a communicant you can't participate as earlier stated ( not to talk of non-members ).
Now this is their law/doctrine and it is well known to even non members of NKST church. It expected that you must abide by this if you must wed there.
Like every organisation/fraternity or even social groups there are laws governing them and it becomes Lawless as a member to want to disregard outrighly those laws.
You might want to argue that as a church there shouldn't dwell on doctrines rather on Grace...but again those in Benue/tivLand know NKST for it's very strict and conservative doctrines.
I know a friend who's bestman was bounced on hi's wedding day cos he was bearded..dude had to look for a replacement. That's how strict there are at NKST.
IMO the groomsmen or bridesmaids should have just gone to wait at the reception cos they can't pretend not to know the rules.
Please this wasn't about prejudice to any denomination.
Same rules apply to their members who aren't communicants!!!

Please what is the full meaning of NkST

It's a TIV acronym, but it's translated as Universal Reformed Christian Church.

I knew this was going to find its way to Nairaland.

The NKST church will not bend its rules for anyone. Even as members of the church, and as a son to a foremost elder, I have been sanctioned before.

We will not lose sleep over this one as well. Our rules are ours. Those who are angry over these rules can leave.

We are solidly behind our pastor!

NKST is the biggest church amongst the Tivs.

The church is over 100 years. Owns a university, several secondary schools, several hospitals and nursing schools etc.

Travel out of your comfort zone and stop typing with ignorance.

Where was your Spiritual leader and Church Elders when your member is engaged to the groom in question? What Bible passages is supporting the Church action?
Your church erred in this. It is hypocritical of your church to have done this to the groom guests.
I agree am ignorant. Kindly educate me about your church doctrines. Myself and my household may be ready to join.

You mean I should show you Bible passages supporting decent dressing?

The doctrine states that the groom and the bride must bring their trains to the church a day before the wedding, so as to be told about the need to cover their hair, and not wear revealing clothes. Most couples sometimes disobey this rule. Some pastors wave it off, others don't. This pastor decided not to.

The church has come out strongly to say they won't be losing any sleep over this incident. And as members, we stand solidly behind the church. There are clubs all over Makurdi and no one stops anyone from going there to organise a wedding. Or even skip the wedding to the reception venue. But on this score, the NKST church will not move a muscle.

Re: Pastor Sends Catholic Guests Out Of Church During Wedding In Benue by Gordonz07(m): 8:29pm On Apr 01, 2019
An average NKST pastor is known to be highly hipocritical persons. Even their faithfuls always criticize the pastors of the said church. I am not surprised hearing this at all. Lost souls....

A devoted catholic can't attend a pentecostal chrch be it wedding or any ceremony.. Just like the jehovahs witnesses.. That pastor did the ryt tin.. There wil learn lesson through that..
Devoted catholic man Gabsonool. the church in question(Nkst) is a reformed church and not a Pentecostal church ok? does it mean the devoted Catholics by your standard can't dress in a way that a conservative church will find fault in it?I in other wards, the devoted Catholics expose their hairs or don't put on revealing dresses, so we assume these rejected at that church doesn't belong to the devoted? as if the Catholics lives in obscurity. lol
Re: Pastor Sends Catholic Guests Out Of Church During Wedding In Benue by shacks99(m): 8:53pm On Apr 01, 2019
I'm shocked to my bones to read here on nairaland that it's because the guests were Catholics,no hell no, it's simply because the bridal train refused to cover their heads and the best man also refused to answer the elders about his status as a Christian. At this point they were asked to wait at the reception venue. I personally attended the wedding.

Jus imagine... So it simply means dey don't welcome new members b dat or if not how do dey convert or win souls for their church
I wonder o, I don't understand. It's so so annoying. So how do they gain soul for Christ? Where should you feel welcomed if not the church of God? What really are they preaching? Where did Christ say to cast away souls in the bible? Isn't winning of souls Christ commandment? Or are they going to win already saved souls?
