Wow... was that your home Church? JTP is a priceless treasure. Just got to spend some real quality time with him and Bro. Ewing a few weeks ago.

I never knew what Church you came out of. That's interesting.

It is an honor to have him as a Father. He was in town and I took him out for his 81 st B-Day. He ate $100 worth!

It's just interesting to me to watch different ministries and see how they reflect their Pastor on a ministry level. I am, as you probably know, a HUGE proponent of spiritual Fathers and the need to have Apostolic covering over your life.

I've known about you (more, unfortunately, than I've actually known you) for some years now but I just never knew where you actually came from.

JTP is a prince. When we lose men like that we've lost something precious that can't be replaced.

If you came out from under him then you should know Bro. Massengale. What a jewel he was.

Northeast Christian College formerly United Pentecostal Bible Institute

And judging from your response I'm guessing the answer is no.

All preacher needs to study to show their selves approved.Know the word of truth.If a teacher has been taught of God you can lissen to him,the Holy Ghost teach but the bottom line is,the Holy Ghost shall teach you all things if what is spoken is truth.Once you learn truth,open your mouth and let the Holy Ghost speak,he will bring to your rememberance everything he has taught you.The Holy Ghost needs to teach all people,not man.

After one has finished all that holy ghost studying, maybe one can be sensitive enough to the Holy Ghost to hear him speak that scripture into his inner man about not forsaking the assembling of himself with other believers (going to church)???

Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
