There should be no problem if the teaching aligns with your teaching.

You have no one to anoint you will oil to pray for you when you are sick.

You have no one ordaining elders as scriptures as told us to do.

You have no one counseling you.

You have no one establishing the truth as you claim it is. You aren't erecting churches to bring in the lost.

You have no one who has a vision therefore the people perish.

Is it that you want an excuse not to have accountability to a living pastor to watch for your soul? Honey, you have no one to watch for your soul as the scripture tells us to.

Their teaching on marriage is the same as Bishop Johnson's I promise. Why don't you call the church and speak to Bishop Green. He will be more than happy to to speak with you. Or better yet, why don't you go to the church hear the message and talk with him afterwards.

At this point you have no excuse not to have a living pastor. You have seen people who teach the exact same thing as Bishop Johnson. Now, what are you going to do?

Martha: Okay, I took a closer look at this web site. Bishop Belton Green does indeed claim to be an apostle but yet, he uses Bishop Johnson's publications as "His" literature. An apostle does not use another man's revelations. I could do that myself but does that make me an apostle? No, it makes me one who has learned from another. I listened to the three sermons posted on the site. What can I say? Pitiful! I can "read" the scripture for myself. Bishop Green essentially "reads" the scripture. I could have preached (READ) those sermons myself, God forbid! Anyone who can read could have preached those sermons. There was no elucidation or enlarging on them, just plain "reading the scripture." And this man calls himself AN APOSTLE! Well, I'll say one thing, you can't possibly go wrong by just "reading the scripture." It's when you begin to interpret the scripture that error comes in. It appears that this man was taking no chances on that, as well he should have done.

It's one thing to have LEARNED THE PRINCIPLES OF THE DOCTRINE FROM THE REAL APOSTLE and quite another to KNOW EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN that would enable you to do more than just 'READ'. If this is the stock and store of Bishop Belton Green, I'm far better off to listen to my tapes of Bishop Johnson and READ FOR MYSELF. I already know THE PRINCIPLES OF THE DOCTRINE. That this man calls himself an apostle is bogus. If he's an apostle, I'm an apostle based on what I heard on his web site.
