New Book By A Presbyterian Scholar Is On The Mark

A new book by a Presbyterian scholar is on the mark concerning the Jewishness of the Church. He steps away from his own denomination to write an expose on the hijacking of the Jewish Church by Gentiles. For years he struggled with what was revealed to him but did not speak up or out. Now in his senior years and the sunset upon him, he has written a book that explodes the myth of the Gentile church. He has sent me this synopsis with permission to post it on this blog.

Judgment & The Pastor

Judgment begins at the house of God (1Peter 4:17).

The house of God is the Church.

House of God denotes a building, a place.

Judgment concerns those things that are considered sin.

The judgment of sin then begins at the Church.

What is the role of the Pastor in this judgment place?

The Pastor is a shepherd. He is over the flock.

Does the flock have authority over the shepherd?

Who has the authority in the Church to set forth judgment?

Can anyone show me where it is a deacon board's duty and office?
Can anyone show me where a board or group of Elders have this duty or office?

Judgment against sin at the Church must include the ministry of the Pastor.

And if he does not judge sin by his ministry, judgment fails at this church and people are not delivered from their sins.

Why is it that in modern Pentecostalism, sin in the church is an accepted thing? Could it be that the Pastor himself is included in these sins and therefore can not judge them?

Why would he want to condemn those sins he allows?

Why is it that for most churches judgment is not part of the spiritual work?

If we are judged now righteously, we will not be judged later.

Some who reject being in a Church of judgment, will run to churches where sin is accepted. What does this tell us?

At the Passover of Jesus table, there is judgment. It is here we can judge ourselves. It is here if we do not and we eat and drink, we eat and drink damnation to ourselves. Should a Pastor allow people to eat and drink at the Communion when he knows they are living in sin and he knows they have not repented?

Can even the judgment of a Pastor begin at the house of God?

Yea, I say, if a Pastor fails his ordination, fails his duty, refuses to be a holy and righteous man of God, he is judged at the house of God. Let all Pastors examine themselves because they also stand to be judged.

I thank God that judgment begins at the house of God.

Jesus judge us, forgive us, and give us mercy.

A Divine Truth

"Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all the people: for all the earth is mine" (Exo 19:5).

"But this thing command I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you" (Jer 7:23).

There is an exclusive choosing going on here. It is something so powerful no man can change it. Many have perverted this Divine Truth. But they only commit spiritual suicide.

It goes like this:

Until a person is born again of water and Spirit (John 3:3-5), they are not a child of God.

Those who are not born again are not a child of God.

Therefore, God is only God to those who are born again.

And only those who are born again according to Acts 2:38 are the people of God.

God chooses who he will be God to. God does not choose to be God to everyone in the world.

The world has their god and gods. And, the Kingdom of God has its God.

God is not the God of the kingdom of darkness. Therefore, all who are in the kingdom of darkness do not have God as their God.

This is set forth in the Old Testament in a clear fashion, so powerful that only a fool would mess with it.

God chose Abraham and his seed as his people and to whom exclusively, he would be their God.

No other people of the world. No other nation. No other religion. No matter if it was the Assyrians, the Babylons, the Medes, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Egyptians, and the host of other Gentile nations: God was not their God and they were not his people.

While many billions may believe in God, this is not sufficient for God to be their God. And while many unbelievers believe in God, this does not force God to be their God (the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob).

God chooses whom he will be a God to. And he chooses that those to whom he is God, they are his people.

This Divine Truth cannot be overthrown. It can be perverted by novices and other fools, but it stands as an unshakable fact.

What did God say to Israel, to whom alone he was God.

"Obey my voice, and I will be your God."

When will preachers get it straight? When will they see that Repentance, Water Baptism, and being filled with the Holy Ghost is obeying Jesus-God?

Yes, when will they stop saying: "Peter said, Peter said, Peter said" and boldly confess that the words of Acts 2:38 may have been spoken by Peter but those words came from God. Those words came from God for the purpose of obedience of faith. When will Oneness preachers stop making Acts 2:38 a ritual and start preaching the Divine Truth here?

It was upon my very own faith that I repented. My very own faith I went into the water and was baptized in Jesus Christ name. And my own faith that I received the gift of the Holy Ghost. From faith to faith to faith, I obeyed God. I did not do all this as a ritual. It was not to me step one, step two, and step three. No, it was obey one, obey two, and obey three. I got it.

When I obeyed God and stopped playing church. When I obeyed God and laid aside my personal opinions. When I obeyed God and the Spirit fell and I began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance: I changed from having no God to having a God.

It was not preached to me clearly how and when I became part of the people of God. That revelation came years later. No, it was not a new revelation, to me it was new Truth that always existed, I just had not heard it preached in any Oneness Church I had attended.

Yesterday as I taught my lesson "Hearing And Obedience" it all came back to me in a flash. I remembered the day and the hour I became obedient. It was the day for the first time I actually showed respect to God and chose to obey him. I knew not that in all my disobedience I was showing disrespect to God. I can remember being at the altar and crying and crying. Seems like buckets of tears came down my cheeks as I humbled myself to a God who had never been my God. I wept my way before the throne of my God. I cannot tell you the washing of my soul that made me feel clean when I got up. All I know is, I had entered into the Spirit and there I soaked up the glory of God. I loved praying now whereas before it was a chore. At last I had a God and he was not far from me.

Today many think God is their God when he is not. Billions believe in idol gods and they cannot have our God for their God in all this idolatry. Sorry, but God will not give his glory to another, and he will not share his glory with any idol god. He will not allow any person to place him equal to other gods.

Then I got it:

"Hear, O Israel."

This is a command. "Hear" here is the Hebrew "shama" and means also to obey.

To tell the people of Israel to "HEAR," Moses was commanding them to listen. Listen to what?

"The Lord our God is one Lord."

Here it is in such great beauty.

"Our God."

I know the novices and reprobates will scurry to send me their hate emails. But save your fingers and time. I will not listen to anything you have to say.

My heart, my mind, my soul is fixed.

The day God became my God and the day I became one of his people: was the day God chose to be my God. And today, after 43 years, he is still my God.

Change of use

The body, the soul, the spirit.

All made for the glory of God.

Each person has this eternal purpose.

The glory of God is not just earthly.

The glory of God is an eternal plan.

We do not know just now what we will be. But we know, when we see him, we will be like him. We will be changed from mortal to immortal in the twinkle of an eye.

But, some have not been a glory to God.

They are a shame to themselves. To their family. To their friends. To the House of God. And to God himself.

They do not know, or they do not care to know about it, or they do not want to hear it: that sin is not the glory of God.

So, do not even try it.

Do not even think that you, in your sins, are the glory of God.

Someone may have told you God does not care about your sins if you just believe in Jesus.

They lied to you. They are telling you in their religious mumbo-jumbo that God does not care about your sin and you can still be the glory of God in your sins.

Wow!

The devil would like to believe that big fat lie.

The Glory of God cannot be in you, upon you, and part of your soul journey until you have a complete CHANGE OF USE of your soul, your body, and your spirit.

I do not care who tells you that God will glorify sin. I am telling you this is a lie. And I am 100% correct on this. Do not expect your life to be the glory of God when you will not give up your open and secret sins.

All of us need a conversion from sin and ungodliness with a complete change of use.

If you do not want to surrender all to the glory of God, prepare for hell and the lake of fire.

If you want to hold on to your sins and backslidden ways, just keep on in your sins and rejecting the life of the glory of God.

I have had a change of use. For over 40 years I have lived a Godly and a righteous life. I came into this holiness and change of use by my obedience to Acts 2:38 by faith.

I did not fight against the holiness of a glory of God life. I did not backslide out of it either. I did not forsake the Oneness of God and join with trinitarians. I am the glory of God in this life and I will share in the eternal glory of God when Jesus comes.

So, if you have not submitted to the glory of God life, do it today. And if you want to share in the eternal glory of God plan: my advice is to come out from among all the backlsidden Pentecostal churches. Remove yourself unto this glorious glory of God life. Yes, it is a crucified way. Yes, it is a way of the Cross. Yes, it is all the Lord's Will and none of it our will.

Have you had a complete CHANGE OF USE?

Has your body, soul, and spirit been totally converted to the life of the glory of God? Or are you faking it?

Sure, I am asking for money and I am not the least bit ashamed. If you have not fed your 5,000 try it now. $5,000 will pay for 5000 hot meals. That will feed the poor here at Tampa Angels for 4 months. Of course you could give less. It cost about $1 per meal per person.

Or,

You could just send an offering because in your heart you want to help people. Plus, on Saturday evenings many of them are in Church and Pastor Reckart reaches for their souls. The altar is full of sinners asking the Lord to help them, to forgive them, and to be saved. We have baptized many souls. Jesus is doing a great work at Jesus House.

This heart of love transends our stand for the True Apostolic doctrine. In fact, our love for souls is why we stand strong on Apostolic doctrine. We want to reach them and see them saved. We will reach their need as Jesus reaches their hearts.

If you have not given to those who are naked, hungry, and poor: do it right now. Click on the image above. Go to the Tampa Angel's Home page. And click on the donation folder and give.

Jesus bless you more and more,

A Man Who Loves The Lost

Sabbath Keeping

Sabbath keeping appeals only to a small group of men and women who think they can go beyond the blood of Jesus and make themselves more holy or more righteous by observing the 7th day as a religious practice.

But, do any of them really keep and observe the Sabbath law?

EXO 16:23 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to-day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

EXO 16:29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

EXO 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
EXO 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

EXO 31:14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

EXO 31:15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

EXO 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
EXO 35:3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
LEV 16:31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
NUM 15:32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
NUM 15:35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

First, the Sabbath was given to Israel and not to any Gentile people. Nothing that is underlined above was binding upon Gentiles. If a Gentile within the land of Israel did not keep the Sabbath he could not be cut off from Israel because he was never a part of Israel. He could not be stoned to death because this death penalty was only to be applied to Israelites. The ones to put to death a Sabbath breaker was the Israelites. No Gentile had a right or authority to take part in or put to death an Israelite who had broken the Sabbath.

Second, there was to be no cooking of any kind on the sabbath. All of the food eaten on the Sabbath had to be prepared on the 6th day. Jews who try to abide this law will not even tear a paper towel from the roll on the Sabbath. Now why was the man out collecting sticks? There is little doubt they were to be used to kindle a fire. And there is little doubt the fire was for cooking as at this time it was not cold or winter time. Who was to put this man to death? It was the members of the congregation, that is the assembly of Israelites. The law of the Sabbath did not excuse anyone from throwing stones to kill this man. Everyone had to throw a stone. This was part of the Sabbath law. For anyone not to cast a stone and they were an Israelite of the collective congregation, was to break the Sabbath law.

Third, observing the Sabbath according to the Sabbath law, means the whole law of the Sabbath must be observed. Who among all of the so-called Sabbath-keepers observes the WHOLE SABBATH LAW? I have not found one person in over 40 years. And I have met scads and scads of Sabbath law-keeper pretenders. And the majority of them were Gentiles. They were never a part of the congregation of Israel. They imposed the Sabbath law on themselves without Scriptural authority. And they impose the Sabbath law on others as a means to say they cannot be saved unless they keep the 7th day as they do. But these do not keep the Sabbath law and so: are they saved by what they are pretending to observe?

Sabbath keeping by Gentiles is not required in the Old Testament and not in the New Testament. In Acts 15:20, when the Apostles and Elders considered the applicability of the sabbath law upon Gentiles, they did not include it. They knew that according to the laws of Moses, Gentiles were exempted. So why now force upon the Gentiles a law God never gave for Gentiles?

I have met many of these Sabbath keepers who as soon as they begin this pretend observance, the males will seek to be circumcised. The reason they do this, is because the Sabbath law was given to Israel and to a people where all the males were circumcised. And it was the circumcised males who as head of the house and home observed the Sabbath. So these Gentile men had themselves circumcised so their keeping the Sabbath would more authentic. And to them, or according to them, the Sabbath day is not holy if the men observing it are unholy because they had not been circumcised. Now, there are many pretending Sabbath keepers who the males are not circumcised. So the Sabbath keepers are themselves arguing and fighting between them as to who is holy and who is not holy and keeping the Sabbath.

Paul tells us this in Galatians 5:3 that a man who is circumcised is debtor to do the whole law. Now he is not saying that circumcision makes law-keeping valid. What he is saying is: that if a person is circumcised according to the law, that this circumcision is an act to observe all the law. And if he keeps not all the law, then his circumcision is nothing but a hoax. It is ritual without accepting the purpose of the act.

There are many Apostolic Oneness Pentecostals who have gone off into Sabbath keeping. Once they do this, they then try to enforce other law observing practices upon themselves, their families, their churches, and those whom they make converts. They start holding dietary laws. They start observing the old feast days. And they even go so far as to try and speak Hebrew so they appear as Jews. But I have tried them and found them to be liars. They have no Apostolic authority for Sabbath keeping, dietary laws, or feast days. In fact, because they use the law as a means of justification, sanctification, or salvation: they have tried to add to the finished work of Christ on the Cross. They do not believe in salvation by Christ alone, by grace alone, and by faith alone. They do not believe salvation comes totally by the New Covenant in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. They believe part of salvation still comes from the Old Testament law.

Are New Testament believers lawless? Are they free to sin and commit sin? Are there any laws in the New Testament which a Believer should apply to his/her life?

Why of course. Even Acts 15:20 was an Apostolic law.
What about the law of faith (Romans 3:27)?
What about the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2)?
What about the perfect law of liberty (James 1:25; 2:12)?
What about keeping the commandments of Jesus (John 14:15)?
What about Revelation 22:14, "his commandments" referring to the commandments of Jesus?

We who follow Christ and his Apostles know the commandments of Christ. We know the perfect law of liberty in the Gospel of grace. We know the law of faith. We know the law of Christ. We submit to these laws of the New Testament.

In fact, we submit to the point of an annual celebration of this faith by drinking the Passover Cup which is a token of our obedience and adherence to the Gospel of grace, the New Covenant in his blood. When we drink from this Cup, there is no Old Testament law-keeping intended or implied. This is an act totally dedicated to the finished work of Calvary without the deeds of the law. We know and confess by taking this Cup and eating the Unleavened Bread, that our salvation is by Christ alone.

No one keeps the Sabbath law, NO ONE!

A Man God Loves

You Did Run Well

His name, Theron. Once a strong believer when he was a young man. But he got into a marriage with an unsaved girl and was unevenly yoked. He thought he could change her from casual drinking and from drugs. Instead he was the one who in a time of weakness changed. First it was to drink with her. Then did pills with her. His flesh got out of control. This is what sin does.

The power of sin overcomes the spiritual nature. Of course he backslid. He never went back to God. When he could no longer afford his wife's drugs she left him and took up with other men. He was broken hearted. For several years he was in and out of prison. He broke into cars. He robbed houses when no one was home. He stole checkbooks and wrote bad checks. He stole credit cards and used them. He spent several years in jail. He repented several times. He cried to the Lord over and over. He regretted his first marriage which he could see was a bad mistake. His love for someone evil overcame his love of Christ.

Out of prison again, he was living in the woods in a tent. He was homeless and broke. He tried to get work but no one would hire him because of his prison record. So he pan-handled and would fly on a street corner. Walking to a store to buy another bottle of loco, he went by a dumpster and there was a table and some chairs someone had dumped. On the table a Bible. But he walked on by. He got his beer and went back to his camp in the woods. He drank it and then laid down to sleep on his blankets. At 2am in the morning he woke up. He could not go back to sleep. A picture of the table and the Bible seemed to remain in his mind. Something in him compelled him to go back and get the Bible. He walked back to the dumpster and the table and chairs were gone. He then looked into the dumpster and there on some trash was the Bible.

Who ever took the table and chairs did not want it. The people who put this Bible there on the table did not have the guts or maybe a cold heart to throw God's Word in the trash. Theron climbed into the dumpster and got the Bible and climbed back out. He did not open it. He took it back to his camp. For the first time in years, the Bible laid next to him. Sweetness came over him and he fell back asleep. It was about 4am. He awoke the next morning and got up. He saw the Bible laying there and picked it up. He then noticed the little blue ribbon page marker. He opened up to the page and there underlined on the page were these words:

"Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place" (Rev 2:4-5).

His heart was smitten.

He laid down the Bible and walked to the nearby supermarket to pan-handle for something to eat. There he saw a young Black woman with a little boy. He passed them and said "God bless you, have a good day." The woman nodded in recognition of his words. The little boy turned and looked at him as he kept walking with his mother to their car. He turned around again toward them. The woman looked back at the same time. Again he said: "God bless you, have a good day." The little boy jerked free from his mother's hand and ran back to Theron, falling at his feet, looking up into his face said: "sir Jesus loves you." And Theron fell to his knees in the supermarket parking lot and hugged the little boy and cried.

Theron testified that this was the moment God removed the callus from his heart. After crying and releasing the child, the little boy ran back to his mother and they drove away.

The words kept coming into his mind: "THOU HAST LEFT THY FIRST LOVE."

Theron is now visiting Jesus House. He said he wants to get back with God where he was before he met his first wife and went astray from God.

When I listened to the history of his life: a life of good and then 19 years of shame, sorrow, hurt, addictions, abuse, prison, and sin; I also remembered some words from the Bible:

"Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth" (Gal 5:7). 

There is a lot in that one verse of Scripture:

Ye did run well.

Apparently all running had ceased.

Who did hinder you?

The who here can be others or even ourselves.

Hinder here literally means obstruct or get in the way where the person does not continue running.

I remember some runners in a race and people were stationed in different places on the ten mile course. Some had water and stuff to give him to encourage him on. Others had nothing but a hand clap. And still others passed to him a beer instead of water. Several did this, and he sucked them all down. By the time he was at the 8 mile marker he was not running any more. He was jogging but he was no longer in the same starting condition. He never made it to the 10 mile maker. He never crossed the finished line. Somewhere between marker 8 and 9 he quit, sat down, and never got back up. There was a lot of laughing as someone handed him another beer.  What did hinder him? Who did hinder him?
When a soul is hindered from their first love of salvation, this can become such a bad spiritual injury the person may never come back to God.

What happened here?  Paul asked the important question:

"That ye should not obey the truth."

Like Theron and many others, they got carried away in their own lusts and forgot their first love. When this happened TRUTH does not matter any more. Personal opinions matter now. And any TRUTH that runs counter to a person's opinion will be rejected. The only thing that can restore a person to their proper place in God is to turn back to their first love when the Word of God in its simple TRUTH was a treasure.

First Love:

Having departed from sin and a sinful life, our first love is to be in Church, to feel the presence of God, to worship and surrender to his will. To give up everything that was not holy. To clean out the house, the car, and our personal possessions and remove all ungodly things, including clothing that was not holy. We loved Jesus so much we were willing to let him mold and make us after his image. We asked for this. We prayed for it. We changed our whole way of thinking. We had a mind toward God. We forsook all sin and evil. We refused to partake in anything that even had the appearance of evil. We were sold out to God. There was nothing in our hearts but love and honor for God. We fasted and prayed often for ourselves and for others. We were altar workers praying with those repenting and seeking for the Holy Ghost. We were eager to sing and play music. We wanted to be useful to God in the Church. And when it came to jobs and Church, we would not take a job that interfered with going to Church. We would not miss Church for anything. We would not even take vacations where we could not be in Church. When we came to Christ, we received the love that was in his heart for souls. No where did Jesus use his love for others to entice them to sin. No where did he allow himself to be the one responsible for someone sinning. This is the first heart of love we have when we become born again the Acts 2:38 way. This is our first love.

But many have been hindered.

They did run well.

Now where are they? I think the statistics one preacher quoted was that over the past 50 years nearly 80% of those who were Acts 2:38 saved are no longer in Church (moms, dads, children, grandchildren). These have been replaced by newer converts coming into the Oneness ranks in many cases into liberal and backslid churches. These have no clue about or knowledge of the old fashion Apostolic Pentecostal holiness life. They were hindered from the get go. Modern Oneness Pentecostalism reminds me of the Pharisees as Jesus accused them: compassing land and sea to make a convert and then make them two-fold more a child of hell.

Whole churches no longer run well.

Many pastors and preachers among the Oneness Pentecostals no longer run well.

This results in many members who do not run well.

What has happened?

It is about TRUTH.  Paul asked: "that ye should not obey the truth."

In these endtimes, there will be some men and women, and some young men and women who will not turn to the right or to the left and follow after that which will weaken them spiritually. They will not allow their flesh to take authority over the Spirit. And they will not allow their opinions to rule over TRUTH.

Like Theron, many spend years in their own deceptions. They fall from God and many never make it back home. Many never even return to their first love. And these of course will have the final judgment:

I will remove thy candlestick.

I cannot think of what this means, except that total darkness will sweep over that soul and they will never again come back to God.

I can see now how you that really love God, who have surrendered. Who have not left your first love. How you will pray that this darkness never take over your soul. You will pray for the light of TRUTH and love it. You will love those Men of God who are dedicated to holiness and a separated Christ like life. You will encourage other Brothers and Sisters to continue in their faith. And you will not give or endorse anything whereby thy friends will stumble and fall.

How many have had their candlestick removed? We can only tell when we see their lives and read or hear their words, as the things of darkness are made manifest. They cannot hide this. They can fake being born again. They can fake it and claim to be Apostolic Pentecostal. But it will all come down to the darkness or the light that is within them.

You did run well.
