    The truth is,my fellowship have never disciplined any one,its almost as if my pastor is afraid he might loose members,so basically everybody do like they want to,but i belive because of this,there is no manifestations of the Holy Spirits Power,it seems like we are just another social club,pastor says that no one is allowed to speak in tongues,if they do he will stop them,there is no outreach ministries,discipleship,bibletraining,counseling,singles,marriage ,just basically sunday worship,and wednesdaynight gatherings

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
- 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
