If they accept then we can keep presenting the information. Yes God is bigger, and He can do anything, except go against what He has already presented for us to offer a flipped out and dying world.

I do believe there's an exclusive club - those that put their faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of the Living God and are living for Him with all their hearts. I believe you have to repent, and that includes changing your life completely - not just easy greasy grace. But I don't think everyone who hasn't been baptized exactly by our formula or who hasn't spoken in tongues will be lost. I just DO NOT see that in Scripture.

However, because of the revelations that we know, we are required to baptize in His name and we are required to teach our people about the Holy Ghost baptism for empowering their lives. The vast majority of people in our church have received the Holy Ghost - over 50 in the past few months. I do believe we will be held accountable for teaching those that are under us the truths that we know and believe.

God is so much bigger than my finite mind. I don't have Him all figured out yet.

You see Brother, it's not 1929, or 1954, we should have enough Jesus Name people in every part of this country. Jesus Name people who can eclipse the Mormons, and Jehovah Witnesses and reach out to those in their communities.
I wasn't won by a television Jesus, I was won by a man who took the time to work with me personally. I was too busy flipping the channels and trying to figure out why those T.V. preachers were so pasty looking and who sprayed their hair on, to consider their message. Our country is done with televised Church, they are so Postmodern its not funny. What is up and coming now is grungy preachers like Erwin McManus, and his greasy hair, and dirty t-shirts.
We are in a lot of trouble in this country, and we need to get some real personal Apostolic Pentecostal contact with the people. Not a blue screen hodown with greasy "Bro" preachers.

You see that's just it, it is not OUR formula it is what was found in the book.
No one was ever baptized in the book of Acts Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, all was done in the name of Jesus. The Apostolic movement didn't make up Acts 2:38, they were the ones who squeezed through the strait gate, while the Trinitarians were blasting them and saying they were wrong. The Bible isn't suppose to be Russian Roulette.

Jesus said the wind blows were it listeth and you hear the sound. Meaning the Holy Ghost goes where it wants, and you hear the voice of the Holy Ghost. Jesus then went on to say that in everyone who is born again you would hear that voice of the Holy Ghost. Sister, again, Jesus was the one who said it was a narrow way, with a strait gate. That is as plain as Acts 2:38. God gives the Holy Ghost to those who obey Him. It seems that there are far more of those who disobey, than those who obey.

Sister, think of how many Roman Catholics there are, or how many Muslims are out there. They also don't see things that are written in the scriptures.
I'm NOT aligning you with those groups, but I must say that you just need to see that there is only one way, and it doesn't have tributaries flowing out from that way. Wouldn't it be horrible to devout our lives to the work of God, to only find out that we weren't doing His work at all? You may want to place that on me, and say what if your wrong. Sister, some things are far too plain in the Bible, and JESUS NAME baptism and in filling of the Holy Ghost with tongues are it.

Then if you have a revelation that the bridge is out then you have a responsibility to strongly warn those who are speeding towards the washed out crossing. Without fear or favor.

Sis, you are teaching these people things that you are saying are required. Then if they are required of those under you, they are also required of all those on the planet where you reside. It is that simple. Reason you are in five states correct? Reason you are in Africa correct? If it is required then it must be obeyed.

Well, it is not as hard as you say, because He will still REQUIRE the blood of all those we failed to warn.

The lake of fire burns day and night forever and ever, and hell is thrown into it. Places like that I need to avoid.

So far He has blessed us and we've been able to fund whatever we've needed to do without selling peanut brittle or chicken dinners. If that's what others do, then that's ok, but it's never been what we've felt like was right for us.
This is my theme song for churches......funds should come from within. An annual garage sale or bake sale is fine................but.............
I have seen churches wear out their saints with fundraisers .

If the church can't afford <----you fill it in---> then do without.
The saints are expected to practice good stewardship but often this does not extend to the "church" or the ministry!

Peanut brittle, suckers, weekly bake sales can all be very time consuming.
If you do these projects in your church and it works===great; but it's not everyone's cup of tea.
