no, i am not familiar with this one, but since the year 2000. A lot of false apostles have risen up. This includes Morning Star International. There are more false apostles now than real ones.

Morningstar International, is a self-serving ministry. Some of the well - known rules that Morningstar have is, that YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RAISED SUPPORT in Morningstar, because they don't want their tithes and offerings to go someplace else other than Morningstar. BUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN MORNINGSTAR ARE REQUIRED to RAISED SUPPORT IN OTHER CHURCHES NOT IN MORNINGSTAR. In other

Telling the people to clean up the pastors homes and take care of their kids and if you disobey, you will be labeled as rebellious and disobedient. another example. Giving threats to the people exam

There are no secret stages such as people come upon in cults.

" The funny thing about TRUTH is that it will finds its way to the Light" Jesus said this, For nothing is hidden that God will Not bring into Light. There are godly men and ungodly men in the key leadership in MSI. God will bring things into Light in due time.

Morning Star International. In response to KAnn, this is what the bible said specifically PAul " If I seek the approval of men, I cannot be a servant of Christ ". In other words, if I care so much on how my pastor think, or kept seeking his approval, I cannot be a servant of Christ. And thats all Morningstar wants, is to seek the disciplers or the pastors approval , they call i
