Although I am Apostolic. My roots are in the Church of God in Christ. Proud of my heritage....New Bethel Church of God in Christ, Washington DC Bishop Sherman Howard, Founder
Thank God for the Church of God In Christ. It’s nice to have a solid foundation. The word is alive. Be careful on how you judge the church, for the church isn’t perfect but we all should be striving for perfection. God is on his way back. Be ye ready for no man knows when the son of man is coming back to rapture us... so be READY. Let’s stop fighting.
Eric, scripture does not support this form of foolishness. Titles, wardrobes, men wearing gowns and dresses. All for show. God not getting any glory. God looks at man's heart not a man made ceremony.
My late Mother Ora Wallace Caston a member of the church of God in christ I was raised up into the church of God in Christ and we and everyone of my brother and sisters what a wonderful blessing we enjoy being a part of. 💕💕🎉 you have to be born into it💕praise the lord💕
Although my roots are solid in the Baptist tradition, I pause to praise God that along side that stands Tolliver Temple COGIC just around the corner from my home. It was there that I grew to understand the movement of the Spirit. Thank God for the COGIC.
I can’t wait until the convocation comes back to Memphis. It has been if I am correct since 2009 since the convocation has been to Memphis. Someone correct me. I am so excited. St. Louis was nice but it felt like we was rushed when the people was trying to praise God. Hopefully this won’t happen in Memphis next year God willing. And for those who is giving bad comments on our jurisdiction, all of you need prayer, and pray for our bishop instead of criticizing him. God has placed him there for a reason.
It will benefit no one giving negative comments. But just know they way you judge you will also be judged the same. Stop talking and get on your knees and pray. God bless you and may we all be ready when He comes.
Dave Holmander-Bradford Plenty of people on TH-cam don't use their name. (Where have you been? Did you seriously ask about my real name?) LOL And to be perfectly honest, my name don't have anything to do with you. That's your prerogative to use YOUR full name; If it's your real name. Nice way to deflect from the original question that I asked. Mr. Dave Holmander-Bradford, you have a blessed day. Keep feeling whatever it was you felt watching the video.
People Do your research. The Church of God in Christ is an Episcopal Church by Polity Classification. Im no longer part of the Church Of God In Christ (Im only here for research purposes) but its amazing how many people how are so proud to be COGIC but don't know any COGIC history. Learn Who You Are.
Other Black Pentecostal groups have archbishops and they are dressed even more like Catholics with the robes and hats. Bishop Delano Ellis comes to mind.
Most Modern day American Religions are based on Catholicism. Many other faiths are what you call "Protestant" as in many other church founders came out of catholicism with new ideas,with the thought of improving upon already existing faith beliefs.
Oops, for the record it was Africans that sold Hebrews & not Africans selling Africans ok? We are from the line of Shem not Ham( but we still love our cousins)! Think about why we have it the hardest. Be Blessed everyone!!
I enjoy the official day services but it has become so commercial and so organized that the Lord cannot do what he wants to do there clearly was a move of God that needed to break free but sometimes we get so caught up in the program that we forget about God's program
I love CoGiC ,also saw that half Methodis half Angelcan half Pentecostal no problem let it be what it's called in holiness and righteousness in Christ and to be calling a servant of God the greatest leader in the world is not right what"
Instead of the comments fast and pray, pray and fast until you have touched God for yourself... trust me I get it but the word of God says pray for all men that we may live peaceably....fast and pray til God sends his revival to the people of God... they can't go any further than where they've been trained until God comes in... Until u break through... not enough to disapprove you need to be burden til u hurt consecrate and are driven mad to pray and fast... some of those up on tht platform need the Lord you must pray... then set the example
I always chuckle at some of the Pentecostal churches they soundly put down the Catholic Church yet they copy most of our liturgy as in this processional.
I come from the Church of God in Christ, please dont think that we all have something against the Catholic church. God's will is intact for all of our religious institutions. If certain Christians have disrespected the Catholic church its not right and not indicative of everybody.
You can thank Bishop J.O. Patterson for that. He was the leader of this denomination from the 60s to 1989. I don’t know what possessed him to change up the church and get them to wear Anglican robes and do Catholic ceremonies. The COGIC wasn’t always like this. It used to be an old school Pentecostal holiness grass roots denomination where preachers wore nothing more than suits and preached sanctification.
It’s not a Catholic ceremony if you realize it’s not just COGIC it’s also the other black Pentecostal denomination like the Pentecostal assemblies of the world which is a historical oneness Black Pentecostal they do processional like these as well.
COGIC have been blessed for so long but that old devil will never stop God Glory and his praise I've been part of this church for 9 yrs I've seen healing and miracle's COGIC have always been in order and that is what I like about it. If you need help they will help you so please don't criticize this church or the bishop
It will not shall not change til you hit your knees and afflict your soul and consecrate yourself fast pray pray fast fast there are some things we shouldn't put our mouths too because you don't know what the devil is latching to.... they are leaders And God still tells us not to touch his anointed... I know this is not God's will for his body but the anointing is the anointing for the gifts of God are without repentance..... that's why you have to pray and fast til God does it... KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DENOMINATION RITUAL AND A RELATIONSHIP WITH ALMIGHTY GOD
Your uneasiness is due to COGIC need to present a non - scriptural idolotrous ceremony not in praise to God but to men. The costumes and titles are all to please man. God looks on the heart not outward.
It's heartbreaking to know with over a hundred years of conventions we haven't purchase a super Coliseum facility specifically for the Church of God in Christ nor have we purchase hotels for the Saints not to stay for free but not get charged over $200 per night we're making people who don't even believe in our God Rich by spending our money with these people

If I can interject all of you that are complaining about this looking like Catholicism uhhh all of our churches has some form of a catholic rendition. No matter how you flip it. I’d read the history of how the church modernized from the 1600’s to now.
The abuse of children will not go uncovered. Not just those who victimize, but those who cover it up and turn a blind eye, may you never get a single good nights rest until justice and peace are restored to those children. You're titles and rituals mean absolutely nothing.
That is the quietest I have ever heard the congregation at Holy Convocation during and after the sermonic selection. All the talent in the world is nothing but just talent without the anointing. The anointing will have sinners saying what must I do to be saved. The anointing brings healing and deliverance and ushers in the Glory of God. The Anointing Destroys The Yoke. All talent can do is entertain you. Then on the other hand, you may have no talent and stand up and see the power of God come in and move all over the congregation bringing signs and wonders to the Glory of God. Give me that anointing!
I don't know. Maybe I missed something in all the comments. Personally, it doesn't matter what people think. It's up to each individual to know and worship God for him/herself. The fact that there are so many negative comments about the "pomp and circumstance" when it's the anthem that's the focal point of the video is very confusing. I was in the choir and sang on that day. The soloist is a member of my local church. From the life I watch him live, he is a true saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost filled man. I know I am as well, so to include people you do not know in blanket statements smacks of judging. My thing is: if you feel so strongly, the only thing you should be pointing is tour knees to the floor in prayer, not tour fingers at people. Remember, when you point one finger at someone, the other three are pointing at you, making you 3x as guilty. Not judging here. I'm just sayin'...
Kevin Bouknight thank you for clearing things up because the negative comments from others is very disturbing... people tend to forget that seeking God is based on you not following others ... I don’t get caught up in all the extras I just have learned to seek God for myself... this year will be my first time going to St. Louis for the convocation so I’m looking forward to it the despite others negativity
Kevin Bouknight you do not know your Bible at all! This isn’t lined up with the word of God. I will not pray for someone who is leading God’s people into the very thing the God called his people out of. We as Believers are to discerned what is of God and what’s not! What does a holiness church look and should like Catholic Church? I will not be apart of this ungodly mess! God is calling His people out of this system! Not of God!
@@jeanniedillard8827 Thank you for your opinion. By the way, I know the Bible very, VERY well. I also know when I'm dealing with someone who does not know me. Again, thank you for your opinion.
Those acolytes indeed is the tradition of the catholic and episcopal churches, but I do love that arrangement of the doxology that the organist played when they announced them. I love all types of organ music, including that traditional classical pipe organ sound as well as the COGIC screaming organ. Lol. If that processional is paganism as some of you have suggested, then may God have mercy on us all!!! 🙏
Vina Moore right? I still love the church of God in Christ although people is saying bad stuff about it because Bishop Blake is in charge. Let us all pray for our bishop. Let us pray that the Lord leads and guides him through it all.

Cry aloud and spare not. This foolish ceremony has blinded those who want to know Christ with man-made ceremony. Apostle Paul said, Oh foolish Galatians who has bewitched you...
Ohh this is the complete opposite of What Bishop Mason envisioned and practiced! Back during Bishop Ford’s tenure there was a processional, yet the general Board and the presiding Bishop walked with a normal pace and it took only 2-3 minutes before they took their seats ... it was something like “Now let us rise to our feet and welcome the presiding bishop and the general board ... then whoever was speaking would spontaneously start singing This is the Church of God in Christ ... You cannot Join it you have to be born here.... this is the Church of God in Christ ... “And before the opening hymn call to worship we’d be having the Ch Mason choir singing selection (just search cogic 1994 official day professional and 1972 ch Mason choir ).... Now what is this I’m seeing? The professional looks more like something you’d expect in St Peters Square, Vatican City .... what next now? The ministers start wearing chasubles , the bishops and general Board wear mitres and being staffs (the stick catholic bishops bring with them)... then we’d have the presiding bishop carried on top of a movable Throne borne by special guardsdressed in white pope-like vestments , with all these being accompanied with a pipe organ and the choir singing Latin chants .. COGIC is Pentecostal-Holiness , and it’s right about time for things to be brought back to at least what it was like during Bishop Ford’s time. No fussy long processions, no catholic paraphernalia being paraded around, no unnecessary rituals, and no vestments and robes please ! I can’t imagine the look on Bishop Mason’s face if he can see all of these things ....
Pop and circumstance.... Why would COGIC even usher this idolatry to influence and indulge mans pride! And stroke ego's! We are to come out from amongst them! And be ye separate! Make a stand and show the world a new and more excellent way!
Don't know why this video popped up again but I wasn't going to say anything but now I am. In this time we need not be having no Titles on anything but as believers true believers we need to come together and be not divided. I use to be apart of COGIC but I departed. It asks for money all the time, I felt like it was a show sometimes, and just like the guy said come let us celebrate the greatness leader and church. Jesus was not in no competition.... All these titles of these churches should stop its a division
it seems that most of the people doing comments have never been at convocation they've only been to church services on Sunday so they don't understand what happens at the national, convocation. its not new
You mean to tell me that the preachers don't have to give God praise while everyone else do. And only stand when the presiding bishop do. And want the folks to believe it's about Jesus, come on man
Addendum (smile): for some reason when I first opened the link, it started at the anthem and did not include the processional. Now, having seen the link in its entirety,but it some the comments make sense. However, I still say that these men should not be judged. Personally, I think it's too time-consuming to do all that, but there are those who do not know who some of the officers are and this is a good way to get information. Just give me more Jesus and I'm happy.
Loyal_Kae I’ve seen her in person at this year’s Aim Convention, I always wondered who she was and how she became a mic singer.Can you tell me she does? I know she’s with Vincent Bohanan
Absolutely Beautiful, Majestic, Sacred and in godly order. Just a revelatory microscopic preview beyond the "Realm" of space and time existing "inside of" God (YHWH, Hayah-Elohiym) of the third heaven (Tritos / trē'-tos, Ouranos / ü-rä-no's) symbolic here on earth. 1 Timothy 5:17 King James Version (KJV) 17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. Revelation 7 King James Version (KJV) 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
All the scriptures you quoted have nothing to do with these men ( many now deceased ) and the ceremony was not for God but to overshadow men with lofty titles adorned in gowns and dresses.
It's not even the procession I have a problem with, it's the execution. 1. Hymns are meant to be sung in processions. This avoids whatever the organist is doing. 2. The processional route seems to be needlessly long. Unless the purpose is to avoid congestion at the stairs, which form a natural bottleneck. 3. The cross is at the head of the procession. Nothing goes before the cross in a procession. And it should be flanked by lit candles not unlit tapers. 4. The route should not be flanked. The clergy proceed by rank in absence of any other customs. 5. They move to slowly and are not arranged closely enough. 6. No one is announced. The procession is done to the glory of God not men. By custom the ranking clerics should be toward the back and the presiding bishop at the back. He should be un-flanked. 7. This looks like it was hastily arranged or done with little to no practise. That's the thing about ceremony. If your going to do it, you do it right.
Doctrine e.g. Baptism formula C.O.G.I.C. Matthew 28:18-20 [the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost] P.A.W., U.P.C.(Apostolic) Acts 2:38, 8:15-16, 10:47-48, 19:5 [Jesus Only Baptism] i.e. Says Jesus is the Father, Jesus is the Son, and Jesus is the Holy Ghost
Apostolic don't believe in the trinity and some don't believe the son of God is in heaven now. Cogic believe in the trinity and they believe Jesus is the son of God now.
Why Lord? What is this for? Roman Catholic madness at it's best!?! 😕😥 Before God saved me I was caught up in this mess..this is sad...while many souls are dying and going to hell they're making time to preform all these reglious rituals 😔😫
Carolyn Johnson you condemning these people but what cross did you hang on for their sins. You cannot see or do not know the contents of their hearts. Leave these folk alone and get a life!
@@greendiamond1602 after all the pomp and circumstance came the Pentecostal worship that COGIC is known for. Bishop Ford preached against the borrowed Catholic ritual. I grew up in the AME Church and we had a trained musician with a pipe organ. We had one woman who would get the Holy Ghost and shout. When she did it would scare the hell out of just about everyone! Now, things are changing in the AME Church. We believe in enthusiastic worship as well as traditional. We still sing hymns and anthems but we also do traditional and contemporary Gospel.
Dzejna Lukovic They've been burning candles for years at least since Bishop J O Patterson Sr era. However Bishop Ford didn't really go for all the robes and candle burning foolishness.
This is all man's idea of honoring who's to be honored. God doesn't need any help having people to be noticed. This part right here is just stupid. Go up there preach the gospel of Jesus/ God. No one needs to know your name, God will make your name great. "not you". I understand it's a business but good Lord. I guess the Bishops want us to know who is in what position, however God sees everything, a lot of times none of our business. This is people who all wanted to have their name to be known and some may not. It's a waste of time in my opinion. There are people who need to hear God's word immediately. People are dying and you have the nerve to take almost an hour, to walk slow playing an Oregon. 😵People are dying in their sins, some need to worship and praise God to get their minds off of other things and you have the nerve to do this production. Don't get me wrong I understand honor to honor is due. Bsome stuff We as people take stuff way out of hand and this is one of those things. I don't know very much about Masonic traditions, however the ceremony is having me go to sleep.
Yes. By both military regulation and denominational practice, it is required. I'm not COGIC but AMEC and at both our annual conferences and the General Conference we have military chaplains who are in uniform. There is nothing wrong with it because of the fact that as preachers we also have a uniform, whether it be a robe or the clergy attire.
I like the idea of them walking in in solidarity with their robes on however, the titles were unnecessary. Also, if they are going to do a processional, they shouldve have done as the late Bishop Patterson asked, which was to be re-ordained into APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION. If you don't know what that is, Its the succession of all bishops tracing back to the Apostles and Jesus. Roman Catholicism has nothing to do with this. The Orthodox church does this. Even the churches that Paul preached in in Ethiopia, the house of Tawahedo, they all do this. Nothing new. Its a step forward. The lighting of incense, the robes, and mitres is all described in the BIBLE. YES...Look in the book of Exodus. LOL READ THE BIBLE PEOPLE!!!!

If I can interject all of you that are complaining about this looking like Catholicism uhhh all of our churches has some form of a catholic rendition. No matter how you flip it. I’d read the history of how the church modernized from the 1600’s to now.
The abuse of children will not go uncovered. Not just those who victimize, but those who cover it up and turn a blind eye, may you never get a single good nights rest until justice and peace are restored to those children. You're titles and rituals mean absolutely nothing.
Pastor Daniel better play that organ. He made that B3 sound like a pipe organ.
I thought this was COGIC I didn't know this was Catholic.
First Church Truth of God Broadcast October 10th, 2021 Sunday AM
A must see now
That is the quietest I have ever heard the congregation at Holy Convocation during and after the sermonic selection. All the talent in the world is nothing but just talent without the anointing. The anointing will have sinners saying what must I do to be saved. The anointing brings healing and deliverance and ushers in the Glory of God. The Anointing Destroys The Yoke. All talent can do is entertain you. Then on the other hand, you may have no talent and stand up and see the power of God come in and move all over the congregation bringing signs and wonders to the Glory of God. Give me that anointing!
bullycatmom yes this was definitely a mess. I believe that's why his son went to the hospital bcuz these ppl giving him more attention than God smh
I don't know. Maybe I missed something in all the comments. Personally, it doesn't matter what people think. It's up to each individual to know and worship God for him/herself. The fact that there are so many negative comments about the "pomp and circumstance" when it's the anthem that's the focal point of the video is very confusing. I was in the choir and sang on that day. The soloist is a member of my local church. From the life I watch him live, he is a true saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost filled man. I know I am as well, so to include people you do not know in blanket statements smacks of judging. My thing is: if you feel so strongly, the only thing you should be pointing is tour knees to the floor in prayer, not tour fingers at people. Remember, when you point one finger at someone, the other three are pointing at you, making you 3x as guilty. Not judging here. I'm just sayin'...
Kevin Bouknight thank you for clearing things up because the negative comments from others is very disturbing... people tend to forget that seeking God is based on you not following others ... I don’t get caught up in all the extras I just have learned to seek God for myself... this year will be my first time going to St. Louis for the convocation so I’m looking forward to it the despite others negativity
Kevin Bouknight you do not know your Bible at all! This isn’t lined up with the word of God. I will not pray for someone who is leading God’s people into the very thing the God called his people out of. We as Believers are to discerned what is of God and what’s not! What does a holiness church look and should like Catholic Church? I will not be apart of this ungodly mess! God is calling His people out of this system! Not of God!
@@jeanniedillard8827 Thank you for your opinion. By the way, I know the Bible very, VERY well. I also know when I'm dealing with someone who does not know me. Again, thank you for your opinion.
something weird here... someone assist me.
Who is the organist for the procession of elected officials? Sounds like a classically trained musician.
@Lewis Hall monster 👹 player!!! Thanks for the info.
Those acolytes indeed is the tradition of the catholic and episcopal churches, but I do love that arrangement of the doxology that the organist played when they announced them. I love all types of organ music, including that traditional classical pipe organ sound as well as the COGIC screaming organ. Lol. If that processional is paganism as some of you have suggested, then may God have mercy on us all!!! 🙏
More towards living room and kitchen
Bless u the haters of the COGIC!!
Vina Moore Exactly. I bet their denomination is even worse, yet they find flaws in the COGIC.
Vina Moore right? I still love the church of God in Christ although people is saying bad stuff about it because Bishop Blake is in charge. Let us all pray for our bishop. Let us pray that the Lord leads and guides him through it all.
I love the Church of God in Christ, but why are we copying the Catholic Church. We should be recognized fir our own culture and traditions

tkc I’m not sure who you are or why you feel that it’s necessary to tell someone to shut up. I stand behind what I said 1 year ago, it’s about CHOICE! Have a good evening.
Cry aloud and spare not. This foolish ceremony has blinded those who want to know Christ with man-made ceremony. Apostle Paul said, Oh foolish Galatians who has bewitched you...
Ohh this is the complete opposite of What Bishop Mason envisioned and practiced! Back during Bishop Ford’s tenure there was a processional, yet the general Board and the presiding Bishop walked with a normal pace and it took only 2-3 minutes before they took their seats ... it was something like “Now let us rise to our feet and welcome the presiding bishop and the general board ... then whoever was speaking would spontaneously start singing This is the Church of God in Christ ... You cannot Join it you have to be born here.... this is the Church of God in Christ ... “And before the opening hymn call to worship we’d be having the Ch Mason choir singing selection (just search cogic 1994 official day professional and 1972 ch Mason choir ).... Now what is this I’m seeing? The professional looks more like something you’d expect in St Peters Square, Vatican City .... what next now? The ministers start wearing chasubles , the bishops and general Board wear mitres and being staffs (the stick catholic bishops bring with them)... then we’d have the presiding bishop carried on top of a movable Throne borne by special guardsdressed in white pope-like vestments , with all these being accompanied with a pipe organ and the choir singing Latin chants .. COGIC is Pentecostal-Holiness , and it’s right about time for things to be brought back to at least what it was like during Bishop Ford’s time. No fussy long processions, no catholic paraphernalia being paraded around, no unnecessary rituals, and no vestments and robes please ! I can’t imagine the look on Bishop Mason’s face if he can see all of these things ....
We've got Bishop J O Patterson Sr and Bishop J D Ellis (both were freemason) to thank for this mess. 🤦🏾♂️
Freemasonry is of the devil. They have brought the things of the Catholic church into COGIC.
this the holy convocation ever
What is this I am seeing this is not the Church of God in Christ that I was brought up in?
No alter call...who needs salvation or the holy ghost????
Young boys and all...😢
Pop and circumstance.... Why would COGIC even usher this idolatry to influence and indulge mans pride! And stroke ego's! We are to come out from amongst them! And be ye separate! Make a stand and show the world a new and more excellent way!
Oh give thanks unto the Lord!
I totally agree with you this is nothing but idolatry.
Pomp*
I remember when this group was not like this. This is about as foreign to being Pentecostal, as the North Pole is from a goose egg.
I grew up apostolic Pentecostal
Don't know why this video popped up again but I wasn't going to say anything but now I am. In this time we need not be having no Titles on anything but as believers true believers we need to come together and be not divided. I use to be apart of COGIC but I departed. It asks for money all the time, I felt like it was a show sometimes, and just like the guy said come let us celebrate the greatness leader and church. Jesus was not in no competition.... All these titles of these churches should stop its a division
it seems that most of the people doing comments have never been at convocation they've only been to church services on Sunday so they don't understand what happens at the national, convocation. its not new
For real, me too!
You mean to tell me that the preachers don't have to give God praise while everyone else do. And only stand when the presiding bishop do. And want the folks to believe it's about Jesus, come on man
This is Straight entertainment.
Someone going to say am not gay anymore
Show me where it says in the bible you are not allowed to get dressed up to praise the lord.
What the heck, they dressed like Catholic priests.
It’s different it’s the Cogic way of dressing in formal occasions like a Convocation.
Look apostolic do this too not only COGIC (not bashing)
It’s usually Apostolic, Pentecostals and Baptist
We also do Praise Breaks and Tambourines
Addendum (smile): for some reason when I first opened the link, it started at the anthem and did not include the processional. Now, having seen the link in its entirety,but it some the comments make sense. However, I still say that these men should not be judged. Personally, I think it's too time-consuming to do all that, but there are those who do not know who some of the officers are and this is a good way to get information. Just give me more Jesus and I'm happy.
is that Chris Tucker from Rush Hour at 21:13?
Yes he is Cogic
Yes
RIDICULOUS!!!
2:14:05 is that Lady flo how she’d get to cogic
Loyal_Kae I’ve seen her in person at this year’s Aim Convention, I always wondered who she was and how she became a mic singer.Can you tell me she does? I know she’s with Vincent Bohanan
Absolutely Beautiful, Majestic, Sacred and in godly order. Just a revelatory microscopic preview beyond the "Realm" of space and time existing "inside of" God (YHWH, Hayah-Elohiym) of the third heaven (Tritos / trē'-tos, Ouranos / ü-rä-no's) symbolic here on earth.
1 Timothy 5:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
Revelation 7 King James Version (KJV)
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
Pure Foolishness
All the scriptures you quoted have nothing to do with these men ( many now deceased ) and the ceremony was not for God but to overshadow men with lofty titles adorned in gowns and dresses.
It's not even the procession I have a problem with, it's the execution.
1. Hymns are meant to be sung in processions. This avoids whatever the organist is doing.
2. The processional route seems to be needlessly long. Unless the purpose is to avoid congestion at the stairs, which form a natural bottleneck.
3. The cross is at the head of the procession. Nothing goes before the cross in a procession. And it should be flanked by lit candles not unlit tapers.
4. The route should not be flanked. The clergy proceed by rank in absence of any other customs.
5. They move to slowly and are not arranged closely enough.
6. No one is announced. The procession is done to the glory of God not men. By custom the ranking clerics should be toward the back and the presiding bishop at the back. He should be un-flanked.
7. This looks like it was hastily arranged or done with little to no practise. That's the thing about ceremony. If your going to do it, you do it right.
god hold him
I love me church
What is the difference between Apostolic and COGIC???
Doctrine e.g.
Baptism formula
C.O.G.I.C.
Matthew 28:18-20 [the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost]
P.A.W., U.P.C.(Apostolic)
Acts 2:38, 8:15-16, 10:47-48, 19:5 [Jesus Only Baptism] i.e. Says Jesus is the Father, Jesus is the Son, and Jesus is the Holy Ghost
MasRRONGCO👰🤵🥂🎙
Apostolic don't believe in the trinity and some don't believe the son of God is in heaven now. Cogic believe in the trinity and they believe Jesus is the son of God now.
Why Lord? What is this for? Roman Catholic madness at it's best!?! 😕😥 Before God saved me I was caught up in this mess..this is sad...while many souls are dying and going to hell they're making time to preform all these reglious rituals 😔😫
Carolyn Johnson you condemning these people but what cross did you hang on for their sins. You cannot see or do not know the contents of their hearts. Leave these folk alone and get a life!
This is sick, blacks trying to o be white, this is a curious.
@@terrycox1723 🙏🏾🙏🏾😴
@@greendiamond1602 after all the pomp and circumstance came the Pentecostal worship that COGIC is known for. Bishop Ford preached against the borrowed Catholic ritual. I grew up in the AME Church and we had a trained musician with a pipe organ. We had one woman who would get the Holy Ghost and shout. When she did it would scare the hell out of just about everyone! Now, things are changing in the AME Church. We believe in enthusiastic worship as well as traditional. We still sing hymns and anthems but we also do traditional and contemporary Gospel.
@@jameshill6210 :
You are right. Bishop Ford did preach against this foolishness. Men should not be wearing gowns and dresses.
What’s with all this wanting to look like Roman Catholics??? 😣😖 why would they want to look like Babylon???
When did the grand ole cogic adopt Catholic acts?
M Banks Exactly. Since when did COGIC burn candles in their edifices to require an "Acolytes Ministry'? foolishness.
Dzejna Lukovic They've been burning candles for years at least since Bishop J O Patterson Sr era. However Bishop Ford didn't really go for all the robes and candle burning foolishness.
Catholicism at its openness!!!!
since the early 1970's
There’s nothing catholic about the COGIC
SANGG CH MASON MO. CHOIR YASS
get right with God .THIS show is not for no one but man,and it's a bad.
What is this The Holy Sanctification of the Vatican?
U got to be kidding?
I guess I dont understand this so I'm not gonna knock this however I hope this is a man made ceremony
All man made. No Bible scripture to support this foolishness
This is all man's idea of honoring who's to be honored. God doesn't need any help having people to be noticed. This part right here is just stupid. Go up there preach the gospel of Jesus/ God. No one needs to know your name, God will make your name great. "not you". I understand it's a business but good Lord. I guess the Bishops want us to know who is in what position, however God sees everything, a lot of times none of our business. This is people who all wanted to have their name to be known and some may not. It's a waste of time in my opinion. There are people who need to hear God's word immediately. People are dying and you have the nerve to take almost an hour, to walk slow playing an Oregon. 😵People are dying in their sins, some need to worship and praise God to get their minds off of other things and you have the nerve to do this production. Don't get me wrong I understand honor to honor is due. Bsome stuff We as people take stuff way out of hand and this is one of those things. I don't know very much about Masonic traditions, however the ceremony is having me go to sleep.
Tell me about it
They really got they military uniforms on for this crap, and they are all commissioned officers at that.
Yes. By both military regulation and denominational practice, it is required. I'm not COGIC but AMEC and at both our annual conferences and the General Conference we have military chaplains who are in uniform. There is nothing wrong with it because of the fact that as preachers we also have a uniform, whether it be a robe or the clergy attire.
I like the idea of them walking in in solidarity with their robes on however, the titles were unnecessary. Also, if they are going to do a processional, they shouldve have done as the late Bishop Patterson asked, which was to be re-ordained into APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION. If you don't know what that is, Its the succession of all bishops tracing back to the Apostles and Jesus. Roman Catholicism has nothing to do with this. The Orthodox church does this. Even the churches that Paul preached in in Ethiopia, the house of Tawahedo, they all do this. Nothing new. Its a step forward. The lighting of incense, the robes, and mitres is all described in the BIBLE. YES...Look in the book of Exodus. LOL READ THE BIBLE PEOPLE!!!!
