Thanks Everyone

For several years I have operated message boards and this blog. I have met and had fellowship with a large number of men and women. Some were good people and some were not. Some were honorable and some were not. Some were seeking Truth and some were not. I have had the great pleasure of writing that has no equal among Apostolic Pastors. Yes, I guess I am boasting a little. But the facts are the facts.

Now with the dedicaton of Jesus House, I will be using a lot of my time increasing the number of the saved. I will also begin the long awaited home of ATBC which will open up here on campus site in the spring of 2010. So, I have a full plate before me. Add to this the missionary work of Light To The Nations, and my time is well dedicated.

Thank all of you who have come by. Pray for me.

This will end my posting here for several months but I will retain the blog for those who want to read what I have allowed to remain.

Jesus Bless all of you more and more,

Temple of Truth

Truth deserves its Temple, a place where it has priority over all else. That is why God has a heaven, Truth reigns there! Within the Tabernacle which was later made into a great Temple for the name of our God; the holy of holies contained the world’s greatest collection of Truth and revelation (even in symbols and types); within the Ten Commandments and the divine ordinances. Take these out of the holy of holies, and it ceases to be a place God wants to Tabernacle (dwell with man).
The Tabernacle is not a place where man dwells. It is the place God chose to manifest his glory and his presence.
My revelation of God comes from the Spirit of God. I have this gift of God upon me. It has been upon me now for over 35 years. And it is upon me today.
We know that God does not dwell in temples made with hands. Even Solomon understood the greatness of God can not be confined to one place when he said his Glory filled the heavens and the earth. In Solomon’s heart and mind, all he wanted was this glory that fills heaven and earth to also fill the new Temple.
Who is man that he thinks he can build himself into a temple and he can contain all the presence of God? No, if he is an intelligent man, he will know that the best he can have within him, in the presence of the Holy Ghost, is a miniscule part of the glory of God. For that is the only way God was in the original Temple!
In Tampa, we have built a place for the glory of God. But more importantly, it is a Temple of Truth. It is a Temple for the name of our God. It is a House of Prayer for all nations. It is a great blessing for the members of the Acts 2:38 Church at Jesus House, to dedicate this great place for the glory of God.
We make all things ready. The guest have been invited, just as Jesus laid it on our hearts to invite them. Some were not invited because they were already to busy in their own way have made excuse why they could not be in fellowship with us. So, we have done what Jesus said. We have gone into the hedges and highways, and invited the poor and those who are in unfortunate situations, to come feast with us. The house will be full. We are so excited.

Has any angel ever died?

Is a dead body a person?

Was the body of Jesus a person in the tomb?

When did Adam become a person?

Is a person a single being?

Is each person a separate existence of a being?

If there are two persons with separate names: “Adam and Eve,” does this mean two separate beings?

Does being a human make a being a person?

Were there any persons before a human being was created?

God is a Spirit.

Is God’s Spirit a person?

What is the difference between the words person and personality?

Are there three separate God Beings?

Is there one Being who is God?

Can one God have multiple (three personalities)?

Can one God who is one Being, be three separate persons?

When God became man (Jesus), is this when God became a person?

Can there be three persons in the trinity when only one of the so-called Gods became a person?

Got Scripture?

Can you explain using Scripture?

Want to try?

Go for it!

Why Oneness Is Right

Because the trinity doctrine demands there be three gods.
Because the trinity doctrine does not teach one God as one divine Being.
Because the trinity doctrine is man’s belief about God without believing what God says about himself.

There is one God and any other belief is false.

Therefore, Oneness is right because I said so!

Jesus House Tampa

Dedication Feast of Jesus House, the Tampa Temple for the name of our God, is still scheduled for Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2009. The church family of this Acts 2:38 Church is finalizing all things for completion of the Sanctuary. Plans are now underway for the Feast of Dedication. Our invitation flyers have been mailed and emailed out to those invited. This event is by invitation only. We expect a full house of those coming to bring their congratulations and words of encouragement.

This has been a long journey. The way has been hard. But at last we have reached this new milestone of accomplishment. We are greatly thankful to Jesus, whom this Temple House is named after, for his blessings and guidance. Without Jesus this Temple for his Great Name would not exist.

There are several little things that have gone into this House of God that have not been done anywhere else in the world. While we do not believe all Churches have to have these things we have done, we have nevertheless incorporated things others do not care anything about. What these things are have been posted already here and other places.

A powerpoint presentation will be shown at the dedication. Pictures will be posted “after” the event. These will be great. These pictures will be posted on a private web-page so you will have to ask to review them. If you have been an enemy no need to ask. And If I do not know you, no need to ask. This is for friends of Jesus House.

Is God The Author Of Sin?

Here is a statement of doctrine held by many Calvinist:

The Westminster Confession of Faith states, “God has predestined and foreordained some men and angels to everlasting life out of His free grace and love without any foresight of faith or works in man or perseverance in either of them, and others are foreordained to everlasting death and the number of either is so certain and definite that it cannot be increased or diminished.” (Chap. III, art. 3,4 &5; Chap. X, art. 2).

The Confession of Faith of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. says, “God from all eternity did by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass … By the decree of God, for the manifestation of his glory, some men and angels are predestined unto life, and others foreordained to everlasting death. These angels and men, thus predestinated and foreordained, are particularly and unchangeably designed; and their number is so certain and definite it cannot be either increased or diminished.” (Chap. III)

Calvin’s Institutes states, “All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation; and, accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of these ends, we say that he has been predestinated to life or to death.”
_________________________________________

It is impossible for God to predestinate and damn angels and men because of their sin and he is not the creator of sin whereby they are predestinated damned.

Predestination demands God is the author of sin!

Did God damn angels and men because he created them sinners? If so, God was the author of their sin since they had no control over how they were created.
Did God make it impossible for some angels and men to be saved because he created them to be sinners so they would be worthy of his wrath and eternal judgment? If so, God is the author and creator of their sinful condition.

In the partial Calvary and limited grace heresy of three-god John Calvin (accomplice in buring Michael Servetus at the stake), Jesus did not love the whole world. He loved only those whom God the Father did not create and predestinate to be sinners.

Is this sound doctrine?

God is not the author of sin. Predestination as taught by John Calvin is a heresy.

PR

PPS: 11 more days to the Feast of Dedication of Jesus House! On this Thanksgiving Day, we will give thanks and praise God for our new Temple to his saving name.

Salvation By Grace Through Faith

God’s grace and man’s faith is the basis of salvation. There is no salvation by grace alone!

Acts 2:38 is the plan of salvation of grace through faith.

Why are so many trying to say Peter was false on the day of Pentecost in his preaching?

Men and brethren what shall we do?

This begging question still has the same answer today.

The only thing is, those on the day of Pentecost were pricked in their hearts. Until a person has this Godly prick in their heart they will not ask: Men and brethren what shall we do?

When a person is concerned about going to hell for their sins and evils; and when they see their future of hell-fire and eternal torment: they will turn to God with all of their heart. When this happens, they will seek the grace of God by faith. And without this faith it is impossible to please God.

Now how is it possible that a person cannot please God without faith, if they are saved with no faith at all?

May I say to all the world, if you neglect so great a salvation as is found in Acts 2:38, you will have no excuse for being lost.

Now, how can a person neglect something if they are saved without any faith and or faith-works, which if they neglect, they are lost?

I can tell all of you, if you neglect to please God in salvation, holiness, separation from the world, and believing the Truth, you will be lost.

Seek the Lord today. Seek salvation according to Acts 2:38.

You will not regret it if your heart is right with God.

Ok, You Ask

Reformed Baptist
1.) It is a protestant daughter of Rome, and holds strictly to the trinity doctrine of three separate divine persons in the Godhead;
2.) Accept and adopt the Nicene Creed, Apostle’s Creed, and the Athanasius Creed;
3.) They are all 5-point Calvinist which means predestinated grace and salvation. Some can and some cannot be saved. Calvary was not for everyone, just those predestinated, all the rest are damned and even if they want, they cannot believe and be saved;
4.) Many practice infant baptisms although there are some who do not;
5.) The Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues has ceased and those today who speak in tongues are devil possessed;
6.) Salvation is not by faith, as faith is a merit, and a person exercising faith to obtain salvation as in Acts 2:38, are not saved;
7.) Salvation is when a person feels God has put his laws into their heart and they believe they are forgiven of their sins by the soverign grace of God: and then must be examined by Elders and the congregation to see if their lifestyle is in agreement with Reformed doctrine.
________________________________
Obvioulsy, none of this is in the New Testament as the faith or doctrine of the Apostles and New Testament Church.
________________________________

Now I know the purpose of this question. But, I want it understood I am not in agreement with, nor do I support anyone who is part of Rome or her daughters.
