Since you mentioned fund raising...

> me:  You forgot to mention fund raising (making

> immoral or indecent to raise money :-D)

What are some H-F views on this subject.  I find no 
Biblical precedent to the type of fund raising that 
is commonly practiced in most Apostolic churches 
today.  By that I mean, most sell things to raise 
money for various church projects.  Or they solicit 
funds from non-church people.  What I do see in the 
scripture are offerings being received to alleviate the 
suffering of Christians in other congregations and the 
regular offerings received for the support of those 
laboring in the Word.

Anyone?
