My Testimony is personal and my experience with emotions was real. Does anyone have the right to question my emotional experience? YUP. Peter had a lunch time vision that was bizarre. Then the Holy Spirit nudged Peter to go and follow an unclean Gentile to that Centurion’s home to preach the Gospel. That was great and it turned out awesome. So why on God’s green earth would Peter be brought in front of a church leadership council? Even The Apostle Peter was Accountable For Truth and Doctrine.

Acts Chapter 11 – Accountable For Truth and Doctrine
…a message by Chaplain Aaron
- Required to Give Account – vs. 1-3
a. Excited Return of the 7
b. “Houston, We have a problem”
c. The Accusation “You Hung Out” - Replying With Respect, in Spirit and in Truth – vs. 4-12
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. In the Greek it reads “God is the Spirit”
a. A Thorough Explanation – Luke 1:3
b. Calling a vision, just that.
Don’t make a doctrine out of a lunchtime daydream.
c. I Obey MY Instructions – Remember Phillip?
Peter invited accountability to join him on his mission. They did not preach, lay hands, or other. They were there for integrity of the Gospel sake. No doctrine hanky-panky would be allowed. - That Unclean Uncircumcised Roman Responds – vs. 13-18
a. Of course you had an angelic vision
b. “The Message” was the message
c. They all got saved! Seriously! - Verdict Verified Through a Variety of Events – vs. 19-24
a. Jews for Jesus – Only Jews
b. And the Greeks Believed
c. More accountability - Prophets, Teachers, and Tithers = Christians – vs. 25-30
Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
a. Agabus from the Jerusalem team
b. Barnabas and Saul teach
c. Collection for the poor
Why Do We Hate Accountability? ‘cause we might be wrong and need to adjust ourselves
What happens when a church leader has no accountability? We hear about them in the news.
What Happens When We ALL Stay Accountable? We Are Called CHRISTIANS.
