Greg and Tai Locke Appointed as Apostles in Church Ceremony
In a recent service held at Global Vision Bible Church in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, Pastor Greg Locke and his wife Tai were both prayed over and installed as apostles to the world.
The commission was led by Pastor Malachi O’Brien of The Church at Pleasant Ridge in Harrisonville, Missouri, and they were joined by Pastor Mike Signorelli of V1 Church in New York City through a video message.
“Now, just like Romans 1, where Paul says, ‘I am a servant of Christ called to be an apostle,’ I believe now, Greg Locke, a servant of Christ, called to be a global voice of the gospel to all people, called to be one that assigns tasks to others, that activates and imparts and releases the oil of the anointing to subdue and take territories and nations, and places that your feet have not yet traveled physically, but digitally,” Signorelli said by video.

Apostate Priests Use Surrogate to Have Baby
Today it appears as though accepted theology in the Christian faith is constantly changing among denominations. However, one of the surest signs of heresy sweeping the church is in the acceptance of an active LGBTQ lifestyle for clergy members.
As Not The Bee reported, one of the latest symbols of this coming apostasy can be seen by two Episcopal priests that used a surrogate to have a baby.
The male priests married each other in 2016 and decided to use a surrogate to conceive a child.
Promised Pentecostal Power: Baptism in the Holy Spirit
Reflecting on Jesus’ earthly ministry, we see it was limited to only a few years. However, after the Resurrection and Pentecost, it was and continues to be multiplied through Spirit-empowered believers. Their ministries today, guided and equipped by the Holy Spirit, continue to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and the future kingdom of God. These called and chosen ones declare the biblical truths concerning justification, sanctification and Spirit-empowered service.
Promised Empowerment With the Holy Spirit
Jesus is the prototype of the Spirit-filled, Spirit-empowered life (Matt. 4:23, Luke 4:14-19, Acts 10:38). Pastor Jack Hayford wrote: “The book of Acts is the story of the disciples receiving what Jesus received in order to do what Jesus did!”
As Jesus was about to embark on His public ministry, He sought out John the Baptist to align with his ministry of repentance and confession of sin as a necessity for entering the kingdom of God. After His immersion in water by John, Jesus received the Holy Spirit’s anointing for public ministry in a miraculous display of our triune God:Â “As Jesus emerged from the water, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him. And a voice from heaven proclaimed, ‘This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy'” (Matt. 3:16-17, NLT).
