Your Honor Unlike others the Plaintiff Mr. Walter Kambulow doesnt own and control a nonprofit religious corporation to which he can hire and charge to the best solicitor from Toronto Bay Street that money can buy so he has no choice but to act as his own lawyer to protect himself and his family from proven liars and slanderers! You will also appreciate from this KAMBULOW- TAFC LAWSUIT PRELIMINARY document that this court case is far broader in scope than just any alleged slander by Walter Kambulow or TACFs John Arnott and Steve Long! Its about Rapists, liars and thieves in the house of God! It has much broader ramifications than meets the eye! As stated in my web-book The Strader Affair It now appears from the many news reports that the Arizona Southern Baptist Convention are also nothing but hypocrites, money changers, rapists and thieves. Many, many religious leaders in America lie for personal gain. Once they see money they cant help themselves but to take it for themselves and expend it on their lusts. They are pathetic but predictable. It now appears from the many news reports that the Arizona Southern Baptist Convention are also nothing but hypocrites, money changers, rapists and thieves. The Phoenix News Times reported on September 16, 1999 that: Some 13,000 Baptist Foundation of Arizona investors were shocked last month to learn that the financially troubled BFA froze more than $500 million of investors' money to prevent a "run on the bank." As a result elderly investors were deprived of money to pay mortgages and grocery bills by Baptist Foundation of Arizona (Not Innocent http://crooksaog.tripod.com) Before the Supreme Court of Ontario can deal with the matter of Kambulow vs TACf and TACF vs Kambulow Lawsuit there must be first some serious questions that must be addressed and answered by the court including: 1) 2) 3) 4) Who and What is Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship and Walter Kambulow? What does Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, say about TACF and Toronto Blessing? What do others say about TACF and Toronto Blessing including Christian News Today? What roles and positions do John Arnott and Steve Long have and carry out in TACF corporation? What are their responsibilities and liabilities as a result? 5) What about Rev. Gordon Williams (11 Bayberry Road, Orangeville, Ontario, Canada L9V 1AI) remark Many pastors across Canada and in many countries have been trying to accommodate the Toronto Blessing with the result that it has become the Toronto Curse because of the disruptions in worship and the creation of a new kind of Christian Elite Pharisee whose experience makes them superior Christians in their own eyes rather than people with a broken and contrite spirit (Ps. 51: 17). 6) What about If they are not willing to accept the so-called Toronto Blessing manifestations they are being kicked out of their churches. If people do not conform, then they are gone. This intolerance is quite the opposite of the agape love which Paul defines in 1 Corinthians 13. (Rev. Gordon Williams) 7) Many have a problem with the elitism that the Toronto Blessing seems to bring with it. Those who do not embrace this movement are not only made to feel like Second Class Christians but are shown no tolerance for questioning it. We see this reality in the fact
that the church had presently filed a $50 million dollar suit against Walter Kambulow, a private individual to purposely silence him from revealing to the public what his years of investigation of family run and owned ministries like TACF are all about! 8) TACF claims to be a Christian Church but its structure, ownership, doctrines, actions and deeds are total anti-christian 9) Why cannot Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF), a family owned and run Pentecostal nonprofit corporation, join the Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability (ECFA)? 10) The news media reported recently that President Richard Roberts Tulsa, Oklahoma is quoted as saying - I have the deck stackedI am elected to three year terms and if a Regent appears to give me trouble, I remove him. I stack the deck... . SO WHY IS TACFS BOARD OF DIRECTORS STACKED AND HAND PICKED BY JOHN ARNOTT? 11) TACFs other best friend Pentecostal Evangelist Rodney Howard Browne of Tampa, Florida, has stated "It was the pastors job to fleece the sheep! Only God was to judge pastors, not the (dumb) sheep! Thieves were to be blessed and rewarded, not judged for this is what Jesus would want them to do! IS THIS TRUE AND WHAT TACF TEACHES AND PRACTICES? 12) IS TACF is a typical North American Prominent Pentecostal family run and owned ministry/church, a money making business, a cash cow for its elite benevolent rulers, its board of directors are composed of family members and staff who rubber stamp the wishes of the founder and should be thoroughly investigated by the governments and news media just like its friends are being investigated, including Benny Hinn and Richard Roberts who are not men of integrity! 13) What are the real motives and reasoning of the TACF to silence Mr. Kambulow is a proper question to be answered by the court and d by those who rule this beautiful country of Canada and ensure freedom and just for all and not just for the power rich religious elite such as bigoted hateful lying John Arnot about whom the TACF website states: John Arnott is known for his ministry of the Lord's forgiveness and mercy! 14) Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship have shown themselves to be a dangerous mad dog whose teachings and actions are very dangerous to others and must be dealt it including having its public given nonprofit status removed and its founders put in jail for using their Pentecostal family run and owned nonprofit ministry to destroy and damage Walter Kambulow just because he is telling the truth about them like Rev. Gordon Williams The Toronto Blessing continues to be a dangerously mixed blessing ! Toronto Blessings is really Toronto Curse! 15) TACF are not the only family run and owned ministries in Canada that should be examined and investigated but there are others which the Defendant has brought to the attention of the Government and News Media including 100 Huntley Street of Burlington, Ontario and Victory Church International of Hamilton, Ontario 16) Why did TACF respond to Rick Meyers emails but stonewalled all of Walter Kambulows emails? 17) So what is it with these Religious Non Profit Leaders who think they can do whatever they want with no accountability and transparency? 18) How can employees of a corporation use the corporation to sue for alleged slander? 19) Who in the corporation authorized this lawsuit and where are the minutes of the meetings
authorizing the lawsuit? 20) How can a nonprofit corporation use the services of High priced Bay street firm to sue a private individual and infringe on his Government given rights? It seems that TACF and John Arnott and Steve Long dont believe in the right to freedom of speech or the freedoms given under the Canadian Charter of rights to each individual including freedom of conscience and religion, freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication? 21) HOW COME PROVEN LIARS AND SLANDERERS SUCH AS PASTORS JOHN ARNOTT AND STEVE LONG REFUSE TO RESIGN OR REPENT? 22) What caused John Arnott and Stephen Long to become proven liars and slanderers? 23) Why should Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long be put in jail? 24) How about TORONTO AIRPORT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP IS NOT ONLY A CURSE AND HYPOCRITICAL BUT BIGOTTED AND DANGEROUS - IT'S NON PROFIT STATUS MUST BE REMOVED? 25) THERE ARE MANY OTHER POINTS ABOUT TACF THAT CAN AND WILL BE BROUGHT UP TO THE COURT INCLUDING: This Pentecostal Family owned and run Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship is not a true church of Jesus Christ but a profit corporation headed by money changers, wolves in sheeps clothing, liars, slanderers, and back stabbers whose action, words and deeds, contrary to the teachings and principles of Jesus, prove it to everybody! In other words its a bad tree that bears bad fruit and needs to be cut down because: A true church of Jesus Christ is transparent and accountable while a profit corporation is not! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt sue people but blesses them while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ isnt primarily concerned with money while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt destroy people or tells lies about them while le a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt ask a judge to put a person in jail because he tells the truth about them while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt do things in secret away from the eyes of the public while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt take away the rights or freedoms of any Canadian guaranteed by the Charter of Rights while a profit corporation can and does! Rights such as a) freedom of conscience and religion; b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and d) freedom of association. A true church of Jesus Christ is not run by pastors who are proven liars, slanderers and backstabbers while a profit corporation can be! Its pastors tell lies such as:
Walter is as bad as they come He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of. The way that he slanders his wife in public is horendous. and if he had been a part of our church, which he wasn't; I wold be all over for him for slander. ; He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to himHe was a former member of TACF He is divorced Yes we cannot have in Canada hirelings or wolves in sheeps clothing pray with or prey on the sheep or tell public lies about total strangers including Canadians. Also we cannot have employees of a nonprofit corporation, be they pastors or janitors, use the resources of the corporation to destroy, silence or sue their critics. Walter Kambulow
Introduction
So how in the world did this mess and lawsuit result in being before the Ontario Superior Court? It wasnt an accident or by chance but because of the indiscretion and arrogance and attitudes of Pastors associated with Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship namely Jim Paul, Steve Long and John Arnott who took it upon themselves to meddle in unwanted and unrequested into the life and family of Walter Kambulow. And the following material which can be found in this Kambulow-TACF Lawsuit Preliminary Brief is an attestation to this fact!
Walter Kambulow is not suing a church, but a corporation, called Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship whose officers including the President of the Corporation and Vice President have been publically proven to be liars and slanders who have publically using the internet, which is public domain, and the court slandered the Plaintiff and his family and have refused to retract or substantiate their slanders and have caused untold problems for the Plaintiff and his family which has been established and confirmed to Steve Long by Kevin Gibb and John Szewczuk and is all over the web. John Arnott and Steve Long never had any relationship with Mr. Kambulow and he was never a member of TACF which is a lie by the defendants. The problem started because a former staff member of TACF, Jim Paul, Pastor of TACFs Satellite Church in Hamilton, Metro Church International, in 1995, carried on private discussions and meetings with Walters wife Sandra without Walters knowledge and presence and resulted in friction between Walter and Sandra! Walter Kambulow told the court all about Jim and Diane Pauls hypocrisy and weird behavior (See http://cnt10c.tripod.com/tb.htm) How the pastor filed for bankruptcy, how his church reduced greatly in numbers, how his treasurer left, how its a family run and owned ministry and how Diane runs around the church backwards during communion and says the Holy Ghost is making her do it. The Judge could not believe that Diane was running around backwards during service so Mr. Kambulow demonstrated to the court what she was doing and everybody laughed! Mr. Kambulow told the court to check out Toronto Blessing on Wikepedia and read what it says about TACF Christians: The Toronto Blessing is a transferable anointing. In its most visible form it overcomes worshippers with outbreaks of laughter, weeping, groaning, shaking, falling, 'drunkenness,' and even behaviours that have been described as a 'cross between a jungle and a farmyard.'" The UK magazine 'Christianity' wrote an article on the subject, also noting, "In one meeting in Dudley a woman in the congregation kept making loud cuckoo clock noises during the notices and sermon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_Blessing Now Rick Meyers, a friend, was told of Pastors Jim Pauls unethical and immoral behavior with Sandra and Walter Kambulow and he filed a complaint on October 29, 2005
Mozilla Firefox.lnk
with Senior Pastors John and Carol Arnott who forwarded the letter to Fred Wright. Rick Meyers and Fred Wright had discussions on the matter and then on April 25, 2006 Steve Long took it upon himself to write to Rick Meyers and blatantly slander and character assassinate Walter Kambulow with: Walter is as bad as they come He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of. The way that he slanders his wife in public is horendous. and if he had been a part of our church, which he wasn't; I wold be all over for him for slander. ; He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to himTACFs lawsuit originated and signed by Pastor John Arnot against Kambulow also lied because it stated: He was a former member of TACF He is divorced Mr. Kambulows view is that TACF, through its President is responsible for whatever goes on in the corporation including the actions of any employee be he or she a senior pastor or a janitor. Hence TACF as a corporation and John Arnott as the President and Steve Long as Vice President are liable in the Plaintiffs lawsuit. Pastor Steve Long had no direct relationship with the defendant and did not know him at all! Sub sequentially in spite of numerous emails and publications by Kambulow and others on the matter the Pastor Steve Long refused to substantiate his lies, defamation and character assassination of a stranger or take back his words and stonewalled the Defendant at every occasion. Hence Mr. Kambulow is suing TACF and John Arnott and Steve Long! Mr. Kambulow also pointed out to the judge that TACFs lawsuit imposed on his rights and freedoms under the charter of rights to each individual including freedom of conscience and religion, freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication. As a result they are using highly priced Bay Street law firm charged to their personally owned nonprofit corporation to silence and destroy one of their critics Walter Kambulow because they dont like what he is stating truthfully about them! Dear Steve Long. It's to be noted that nothing that you have stated in your email will ever stand up in any court of the land as being factual! So please examine your sources and be prepared to back up your words less you be shown to be a liar and dishonest! It's also to be noted that Pastor Jim Paul nor any of the elders of Metro Church nor Pastor Steve Long or anybody from TACF ever talked to Walter Kambulow about anything. I found unbelievable that you have come up with all the statements in your email without you or
anybody else in TACF or Metro Church every talking to Walter about their validity or having sources that will stand up in court. I also know for a fact that Walter hasn't been disciplined by any church per say including Pastor Jim Paul who never talked to Walter but only Sandra! (You can verify this by talking to Kevin Gibb who was with Walter at his last two churches including Metro church and Victory International. ) I assume that you can give the names, dates and places of churches and people who disciplined Walter Kambulow to back up all your remarks and will send it to me by return email? I am sending Walter and his friends a copy of this email to show that your stated remarks are baseless and nothing but lies and libelous and strongly suggest that you re-examine your position that Walter "is as bad as they come." You have a lot to lose if you cannot back up your stated remarks! Regards Rick From: rick To: Rhonda Puddle Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 6:48 PM Subject: Re: Replying to your letter part 2 Dear Fred, You stated "Please know that the tone of your email and your accusations about my doing nothing about your concern did nothing to endear you with me either. I hope this is not the way you normally deal with people." For the record my tone doesn't matter as I don't have to win your support but just point out the hypocrisy of this whole situation and the lack of any justice or integrity on your part. You only confirmed to me that Pastors always support pastors and that there is no justice given by the clergy when a complaint is made against the clergy! And your reply only confirmed your own condescending attitude! You also stated "Does your disagreement with him make it imperative for me to come roaring in with guns drawn to try to correct Jim? I think not. I am sure there were other problems in their marriage before this issue came up." The fact remains that I know my friends very well and there were no other problems in their marriage before this issue came up. They were happily married for twenty four years until foolish Pastor Jim Paul meddled in with the wife and never talked to the husband. And that is wrong because the bible teaches that the wife and husband are one! Maybe Jim's motive was to divide and conquer the wife? He hasn't been very successful in his own marriage an issue you have not discussed! Take care!
Rick ----- Original Message ----From: rick To: Rhonda Puddle Cc: pastor John Arnott Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 9:06 PM Subject: Re: Replying to your letter part 3 Dear Fred, You stated, My suggestion is that you calm down and try to get things in perspective. Please know that I am not going to intervene because you disagree with Jims teaching nor because his church has diminished. At its peak they had maybe 150. "Maybe 150" is a very broad term! I suggest that you get your own words into perspective and get specific facts straight before you say anything else foolish? There are about 25 people in attendance presently in Metro International Church in Hamilton, Ontario. The church presently has in it over 400 seats from its former glory days when there were 400 people in attendance for special meetings as testified by Jim Taylor, the former youth pastor and even Pastor Jim Paul. The Church is basically owned and run by Pastor Jim and Diane Paul along with Lynn and Cathy Reichert who are not only majority board members along with Jim and Diane but Cathy is the sister of Jim. In other words it's a family owned and run church? And it's treasurer quit the church about six months ago leaving the pastor holding the money bag. And the monthly interest payments on the church mortgage was renegotiated from $3,000 a month to $1,500 a month. You can correct me if these facts are wrong? It's not only Jim teachings that I disagree with and his methods and ways of doing things including being led and directed by his wife, but his lack of integrity and the fact that he doesn't have his own children in submission and filed for personal bankruptcy. If he cannot handle his own family and finances how can he handle the church? ( 1 Timothy 3:2-5) He cannot and that is why Jim and Metro Church Internation is a failure in every sense of the word.

Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 6:22 PM Subject: Re: Replying to your letter Dear Fred, You are being a wise guy. Marriage is between two people? So both parties in the marriage brought up by my complaint didn't ask to be counseled. So what business had unqualified Pastor Jim Paul to counsel only the wife? None! Rick Toronto Blessing Jim Paul is the senior pastor of Metro Church International of Hamilton, Ontario, a satellite of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship under John Arnott. Jim also serves on the Board of Directors for Godspeak International, an internet based prophetic/healing training school in California. He is a pastor who is a feminist and whose wife Diane suffers from bipolar disorder, and along with their church are praying for Walter Kambulows repentance to return back to their church when in reality they are the one who need to repent from all their foolishness and doctrine of demons and allowing witches to run rampant in their midst. They are really foolish if they think that Walter will repent in anyway proving they are really nuts and not in touch with reality or what is happening around them! Yes Jim Paul is a proven liar, a deceiver, a bankrupt one, and a false prophet, along with his church as well a proven failure not a success who not only filed for Personal Bankruptcy but whose church East Gate Christian Fellowship in Hamilton Ontario literally died when the majority of members left it because they didnt like the way Pastors Jim and Diane Paul did things. See http://torontoblessing.tripod.com/ Pastor Jim Paul was sent out by Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship to represent it! In other words he was created by TACF and is their representative of it in every way including being a bankrupt one and a feminist and false prophet! He is a good representative of the Toronto Airport Church of the flesh as a proven false prophet who prophecies are useless and dead the moment they are spoken. He is a liar who pretends that he is successful while he personally bankrupted financially as well as his church East Gate International which he is trying to revive under the new name Metro Church International and is now family-run and owned with his wife and in laws. Yes, his original church died when most of the 400 attendees left including the treasurer because they didnt like the way Pastor Jim Paul ran things or Pastor Diane running around the church backwards during the service including communion or her constant complaints about depression! Yes, true men of God do not go bankrupt in any sense of the world like Jim Paul did. You cannot argue with success or failure for they speak for themselves! Just like success speaks for itself so does failure. And Pastor Jim Paul is not successful in any sense of the word be it in
marriage, finances, raising of children or being a pastor. Yes he is not a true man but a feminist who is being ruled by a wife who suffers and has suffered with bipolar disorder and manic depression for most of their marriage and has not been healed? There is nothing wonderful about defeated lying Pastor Jim Paul who is deceiving others that God speaks through him. see http://www.godspeak.net/OpenHeaven Jim has been on staff with GodSpeak for many years, as one of the prophetic school list leadership core, and as a member of GodSpeak's board of directors. In addition, he is senior pastor of Metro Church, plus he ministers internationally in the prophetic, physical healing and in the releasing Open Heavens over various areas. To date, Jim has ministered in 26 different countries. He is internationally recognized and respected as a prophet, and his ministry is earmarked with a strong prophetic anointing, as well as with physical healing, signs and wonders and angelic activity. Jim was ordained as a Baptist in 1976 where he served as a pastor for twelve years. In 1986, Jim became associated with the Association Of Vineyard Churches (AVC) and stayed with AVC until Partners In Harvest was (affiliated with TACF) was formed. p> Jim was part of the original Church plant team for Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, under John Arnott. Jim officially joined the TACF staff in 1994, where he was heavily involved in ministry there during the early days of the renewal. Jim served as the Minister of Church Planting and also as a part of their renewal itinerant staff. In February of 1996, he was "sent out" to become the senior pastor of their church plant (East Gate Christian Fellowship) in Hamilton. Jim also joined the leadership core of an online school of prophets in 1996, through GodSpeak International, and he joined the board of directors shortly after that. Over the last few years, Jim's wife Dianne has started ministering prophetically in meetings with him. Jim also ministers frequently with Georgian Banov. Jim has authored a book titled Prophecy In Practice. Deceivers want to tell us that the Toronto Blessings is from God but LAUGHING PASTOR RON CLARK WENT DOWN IN FLAMES CRYING is a great proof that South African Evangelist Rodney Howard-Browne is demonized and so is his laughter movement that is espoused by Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship or Toronto Airport Church of the Flesh. You cannot argue with facts including that Pastors RON CLARK and JACK FROST ended up being destroyed and cursed not blessed for trusting in men not God. So why is it surprising that anybody who gets involved with these Pentecostal fools and false prophets finds himself in places he never expected to be including being destroyed and cursed for not heeding what the bible tells them: 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 11:4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted-you may well put up
with it! Colossians 2:6 As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 2:7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 2:10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. I do have not much respect for those who are slain the spirit or soak as espoused by the Toronto Blessing. I find very little change in their lives or character or faith except they become egotistic and even arrogant and proud and liars if not deceivers. A true experience must result in being like Jesus in the fruits of the spirit and ministering to others in the gifts of the Spirit especially to the poor and needy not the rich and mighty. Being slain in the spirit and soaking are a poor substitute for the Word of God and praying in tongues which is the main building blocks of the Christian faith. Gods word is true: 2TM 3:15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, JUDE 1:20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 1:21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. HEB 5:9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, HEB 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus Christ not man nor demons is the author of the Christian's faith and of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. Buying into any religion including the Evangelical Religion or the Third Wave is dangerous to your spiritual and even physical health. All of Gods true children are anointed ones and not just some lying thieving idiot such as Benny Hinn or Jim Paul who prophecy things that never come to pass and have proven to be false. Everything in life must be checked with the Blessed Holy Spirit and not some ding dong who claims to be a man of God but is a false one. Religions come and go but Jesus Christ alone remains the same yesterday today and forever! And Jesus Christ alone can do what no other can do including save, heal, deliver, bless and prosper His true trusting ones!

Four Primary Goals 1. To welcome and respond to the Holy Spirt 2. To impact the city of Toronto 3. To raise up world class leaders. 4. To communicate effectively in all ways. statement of faith We believe there is one God who lives forever in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19) We believe that the Bible is God's Word to the world, speaking to us with authority and without
error. (2Timothy 3:16-17) We believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His death for us on the cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the Father, and His personal, physical return to rule the earth in power and love. (John 1:1418; 1Thessalonians 4:16-18) We believe that all mankind are lost in sin and need to turn from it and trust personally in the Savior, Jesus Christ. All need to be born anew by the Holy Spirit's power into God's family. (Ephesians 2:1-10; John 3:5-7) We believe the Holy Spirit lives in us as believers and brings love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control into our lives. He works in and through us with His charismatic gifts. (Galatians 5:22-23; 1Corinthians 12:7-11) We believe in the resurrection of every person; to eternal life for the believer and eternal judgment for the lost. (Matthew 25:31-46) We believe in unity for all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and seek community together: we want to become more like Him in every way, who is the head of His body, the Church. We are called to love Him and one another and are enabled to do this only as His life flows through us. (1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Matthew 22:37-40) We believe the Scriptures teach that marriage is the covenanting together of one man and one woman in a union to the exclusion of all others. This union is established by an authorised ceremony under God. Marriage is a unique reflection of Gods faithful love for all humankind. The relationship of husband and wife, as family, reflects the covenanting self-giving love between Christ and His Bride, the Church. The pledge of mutual faithfulness is not tentative or conditional. The permanent nature of the marriage bond gives security and promotes the development of a trusting relationship. The Church has a responsibility to care for, nurture and prayerfully support the marriage relationship and the children of the union. (Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:18; Genesis 2:24; 1 Corinthians 7:4-5; Ephesians 5:25) Note: If TACF believes in the permanency of marriage why did the elders of metro church International of Hamilton, Ontario, a satellite church of tacf didn't leave Walter Kambulows home when asked too and the police had to be called in? (See Halton Police Report of October 30, 2005) If the church has a responsibility to care for, nurture and support the marriage relationship and not destroy it like the pastors of metro church and tacf have been doing by their evil and wicked character assassination of Walter Kambulow and his family and by refusing to substantiate their lives? What business did they have getting involved with Walter Kambulow and his family if they were not invited? What love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control did TACF and its pastors show to Walter Kambulow and his family?

Wikipedia and TACF and Toronto Blessing? Toronto Blessing From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Toronto Blessing is a term coined by the British press to describe the revival and resulting phenomena that began in January 1994 at Toronto Airport Vineyard Christian Fellowship, now known as Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF), a neocharismatic evangelical Christian church located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Participants in the conferences and meetings sponsored by TACF have reported healings, incidents of personal transformation and a greater awareness of God's love. It has also been referred to as "The Father's Blessing", "The Anointing", "The Awakening", "The River", "The Fire". Contents 1 The Blessing 2 Debates 3 References 4 External links The Blessing At TACF Revival services, worshippers have exhibited unusual behaviours that they attribute to an encounter with God and the fire of the Holy Spirit. The most common described behaviours include hysterical laughter (or holy laughter), physical spasms or jerks, falling to the floor under the Holy Spirit's power (aka slain in the Spirit) and speaking in tongues. Other less common behaviours include manifestations that resembled roaring like lions and barking like dogs. At one time the TACF website described it thus: The Toronto Blessing is a transferable anointing. In its most visible form it overcomes worshippers with outbreaks of laughter, weeping, groaning, shaking, falling, 'drunkenness,' and even behaviours that have been described as a 'cross between a jungle and a farmyard.'" The UK magazine 'Christianity' wrote an article on the subject, also noting, "In one meeting in Dudley a woman in the congregation kept making loud cuckoo clock noises during the notices and sermon. Eventually John invited her to come to the front. It turned out that he knew her from a visit to Scotland and trusted her as a secure Christian through whom God had been working."[1] TACF pastors John and Carol Arnott were initially inspired by the revival in Argentina. As a result of their spiritual hunger for revival in Canada, they invited Randy Clark of St. Louis, Missouri, United States, to minister at TACF in January 1994. Randy Clark had been greatly impacted by the ministry of Rodney Howard-Browne, a South African preacher, founder of the Rodney Howard-Browne Evangelistic Association in Louisville, Kentucky, author of The Touch of God, and the earliest known proponent of the holy laughter revival phenomenon in modern times. The Blessing has proved immensely popular and in recent years, many Christian travellers have come to the TACF to experience it for themselves. Some estimates are as high as 300,000
visitors. The experience is usually deeply affecting and people are often said to leave the services with a renewed zeal for their faith and an overwhelming desire to spread the message. Some visiting pastors have been so affected by the experience that they have taken the message back to their own flocks, sometimes radically transforming the way that services are conducted in their own churches. Areas that have become known for Toronto Blessing revivals worldwide include Pensacola, Florida, in the United States and Bath in England. The peak of Toronto Blessing prominence in the Christian community occurred in the mid to late 1990s. Since that time it has faded from public view, although the proponents of Discernment Ministries would suggest that these kinds of events are simply part of a wider theological cycle that has existed continually throughout modern era Pentecostalism / Charismatism. Studies at the University of Virginia have pointed out that "the beliefs of... the Toronto Blessing are aligned exactly with those of the Latter Rain revival", which indicates that the phenomenon is not unique, but part of an ongoing and cyclical pattern.[2] In more recent times, the Golden Sword Prophecy[3] from TACF has been spreading amongst Charismatic churches. Debates Believers claim strongly that it is a revival or renewal of Gods true church, where the Holy Spirit manifests in a way that is directly tangible to the participant. They maintain that it is the coming of a new era, where the new leaders will be raised to prominence and people will be drawn to connect to an experience that is truly Godly. God is ready to be present and alive in the world again, they claim, and the true believers are the ones who can feel his presence among them. Believers also point out the 'fruit' of what are deemed encounters with God and the presence that to many is very tangible at the meetings hosted worldwide by people and groups connected with the Toronto Blessing. Many people come away from the meetings and encounters with a new zeal for their faith and for life in general, as well as a renewed heart to see their faith spread in the world. Many also report physical, emotional, and psychological healings occurring at a very high rate, leaving the people empowered, uplifted, and better connected with God. They cite this as proof that it is a good and Godly movement. It is worth noting, however, that this behavior was never exhibited in the first century Church, nor was it ever condoned by any recognized Church. It is also pointed out that the Toronto Blessing was never about the 'manifestations' - the laughter, the barking, and the other assorted physical signs - and that it was the non Charismatic church that has missed this point. Many maintain that from the very start, the Toronto Blessing was and continues to be about having made manifest the love of God for and through his church, as spoken of in the Bible in verses concerning Great Commandment, Romans 8, and 1 Corinthians 13. Believers in the Blessing point out that this is the real thing behind the outpouring, something that is missed by those critical of the move. Neutral observers point out that this type of phenomenon is not at all new. Nor is the resistance to the movement by the average churchgoer who may be unfamiliar with religious experiences. It should be noted that similar phenomenon such as being "slain in the Spirit", "swooning",
"spasms and jerks", "speaking in tongues", and others have been reported during almost every major "revival", "renewal", or "awakening" of the past 200 years throughout the world and has given birth to many modern Christian church denominations including the Baptist, Methodist, and Assemblies of God denominations. Exhibitions of the aforementioned activities also occurred in 19th century Russia, where the movements were denounced as heresy by the Russian Orthodox Church. In late 1995, the US Association of Vineyard Churches (AVC) Board requested that the Toronto Airport Vineyard Christian Fellowship end its relationship with the AVC. The revised name Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship was adopted in January 1996.

What Others Say About TACF? About the TACF "To walk in Gods love and then give it away to Toronto and the world." The Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship has seen so many lives changed through the power of God at work, here and around the world. We are actively continuing our mission to impact Toronto and the world by welcoming and responding to God's presence, communicating effectively and developing world class leaders. For over 20 years we have been discovering more of the Father's love. As we have sought to know God, He has revealed Himself to be our perfect Father. As we have taken time to rest in His presence, He has refreshed us and poured out more of His powerful Holy Spirit. You too can experience the fullness of Gods love, the power of His Holy Spirit and His healing in your life. We want to help you, and equip you to receive everything He has for you. As you get filled with His love you will see God touch those around you. If youve visited us, youll know just what an awesome time we have, so come back for more! If you havent been, then come and let God change your life. We have an amazing future in Him! In the Fathers love, John and Carol Arnott Senior Pastors So how can Pastors John and Carol Arnott talk about walking in Gods love and then in the same breathe destroy, sue or try to silence other Christians who have something against them? They cannot because they are hypocrites whose words and deeds dont match up their deeds and are trying to cover up by the lawsuit what they have done and are doing in secret! Jesus never told them to sue or persecute their persecutors but to bless them? They dont have Gods presence but the devils presence as evidenced by their lack of transparency and accountability and their fullness of control and fear! Check out The State of the Church Today http://cnt10a.tripod.com/ct.htm . TACF pastors seem to be short on accountability or truth but not on lies or legal motions even though the bible clearly states in 1 John 3:10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. 3:11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 3:12 not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous. Being a true disciple of Jesus Christ in todays world requires a dedication to live according to
the values and commands of Christ, producing a lifestyle, which imitates Christ and challenges the claims of cultural ideologies. We must have Christ-centered Discipleship in a Man-centered World. We must have Discipleship who are compassionate and have the character of Jesus as well as integrity. Today many have negative view of the church, saying that Christians and churches have "messed things up." A recent Barna Group survey also revealed that negative perceptions toward the Christian faith outweigh the positive among today's young Americans. Among common impressions, 23 percent of young non-Christians said "Christianity is changed from what it used to be" and "Christianity in today's society no longer looks like Jesus." Christ called his disciples to live in a manner that put on display the nature and character of their Lord in order to draw men and women to Himself. In order for the church of Jesus Christ to advance the Kingdom as Christ intended when He first said, Follow me, we must have transformed lives reflecting the citizenship in Gods kingdom and not pagan values of the world. TACF - Transparency Accountability (or) Control Fear Why is Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a religious nonprofit corporation, running scared these days and its founding and senior pastors are in an uproar? Why did a member of parliament in Canada ask the Department of Justice to look into this Pentecostal family run and owned ministry and others like it? Why do TACF pastors tell its critics and dissidents to get lost? What does TACF really stand for if anything? Why is TACF and its pastors afraid and telling lies about a private individual and suing him in a civil commercial court for $50 million dollars even though its bible says that Christians are not to take Christians to court, especially a secular court! TACFs Senior Pastor Steve Long has openly lied and published that Walter (Kambulow) is as bad as they come. He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of. He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to him-. Is TACF in reality a profit corporation that exists for the benefit of its founder and friends? Is TACF and its pastors worried that since their prominent Pentecostal friends and mentors Benny Hinn and Richard Roberts have been exposed as not only being wolves in sheeps clothing but being devoid of integrity, the same could be said about the Pastors of TACF? Are Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship any different then Pastor Rick Godwin who constantly presses his flock at Eagle's Nest Christian Fellowship to give generously for a new $36 million mega church under construction on the North Side at the same time he spends tens of thousands of dollars of church money on luxury items for himself? When he flies, it's first class or private chartered plane. He stays in high-end hotels and buys expensive gifts for some of his church associates. He can watch the Spurs from an AT&T Center luxury suite and play golf at the exclusive Club at Sonterra. How about the weird manifestations, convulsions and exhibitions that are common everyday
occurrence at TACF? Is the Jerking that TACF and its pastors enjoy and propagate of God or of the devil? For all its fanfare and jerking and emotional exhibitions TACF and its pastors are very short on words and books both on the web and in real life! They are a typical egocentric ministry that says I have something that you dont have and you must do and think my way! But the bible tells us 1THES 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good, not do things or think TACFs way. And Thomas Jefferson also told us: I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. All of the above are all serious and important matters and questions that the public at large deserves to know the answer too and no lawsuit or legal motion by TACF and its pastors should prevent anybody from getting to the bottom of TACF fears and paranoia or lack of integrity! John Davies TACF Another Weird Cult A number of emails have been coming in to me from a Walter Kambulow asking me, in caps no less, SO DO THE WORLD A GREAT FAVOR AND LOOK INTO TORONTO AIRPORT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP OR TORONTO AIRPORT CHURCH OF THE FLESH AS I CALL IT. I do not know the man, nor do I know much about the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship. I do remember, about 10 or 12 years ago, that the pastor of our church took a field trip to this movement and came back shocked at what was taking place. People were barking and clucking. Acting as though they were possessed. And not in a good way. Another weird cult. Apparently, TACF are suing this Walter fellow for several million dollars. According to their statement of claim, Kambulow falsely and maliciously published, to specific individuals, which may or may not include me, and to the world at large on the internet false and defamatory words. The defamatory words apparently included things like adultery, rape, robbery, exploitation, embezzlement. (Walter Kambulow is now suing Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF) for 100 million dollars for slander, lies, and defamation) I am not a lawyer, so I cannot comment on the merit of the claim. However, Wikipedia has a fascinating entry on the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship which reads, in part: The church is also the source of the so-called Golden Sword Prophecy. Another notable phenomenon that broke out there in March 1999 was the outbreak of allegedly instantaneous, allegedly medically documented dental miracles including amalgam fillings or porcelain crowns being supernaturally changed to high-quality gold. At TACF Revival services, worshippers have exhibited unusual behaviours that they attribute to an encounter with God and the fire of the Holy Spirit. The most common described behaviours
include laughter (or holy laughter), weeping, deep bowing, shaking, drunkenness, falling to the floor under the Holy Spirits power (aka slain in the Spirit) and speaking in tongues. Other less common behaviours include manifestations that resembled roaring like lions and crying like an eagle. At one time the TACF website described it thus: The Toronto Blessing is a transferable anointing. In its most visible form it overcomes worshippers with outbreaks of laughter, weeping, groaning, shaking, falling, drunkenness, and even behaviours that have been described as a cross between a jungle and a farmyard. If that is what these folks at TACF stand for, then I would stay far away. Here is one perspective that claims the group is led by false teachers. Richard Cleaver http://www.richardcleaver.com/?cat=3 Its to be noted that On June 29, 1994, in Rockville Centre, L.I., John Arnott spoke on many of the different origins of the outpouring that came to be known as the "Toronto Blessing." He and his wife, Carol, had spent much of 1993 and the beginning of January 1994 seeking the Lord for a fresh anointing. They spent all of their mornings with Him. They had been powerfully impacted many years previously by Kathryn Kuhlman, and then more recently, by John Wimber, "who really taught us that the anointing was available for everyone and in the context of team ministry things could be much improved [John Arnott to Richard Riss, Sept. 19, 1994]." The Arnotts were friends of Benny Hinn, who also had an impact upon them. Richard Reiss, A History of the Revival of 1992-1995. It is a fact that John Wimber later severed relationship with the Toronto Airport Vineyard which was later renamed Toronto Airport Christian Fellows and had them leave his denomination (Association of Vineyard Churches), because of excesses. So the defendant is not alone in his criticism of TACF as a genuine Christian Church but rather a cult which it is! CBC News Fifth television documentary has portrayed Benny Hinn as a liar, a thief and a man of no integrity - http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/main_miracles.html Apologetics Index, Back to the Bible, Banner Ministries, Biblical Discernment Ministries, Cephas Ministry, Christ Church Virginia, Christian Witness, Christian News Today, Discernment Ministries Incorporated, Deception in the Church, Firm Foundation, God Net, In Plain Site, Personal Freedom Outreach, Sheep Trax Media and many others and most Christian Apologetic web sites, even since 1995, have been reporting that TACF is a cult, influenced by demons and has false teachings! Orthodox Christian Information Center which is not a cult has reported: The Toronto Blessing (or TB, as it is now often called) is a worldwide spiritual movement within Pentecostal and charismatic churches. It is named after the Toronto Airport Vineyard Church in Toronto, Canada, where the movement first hit the headlines in January 1994. Its advocates claim that the Blessing is a "sovereign move of God", a new and glorious work of the Holy Spirit. Many of them call it a "revival." However, others, conscious that scarcely any unbelievers are being converted through this movement, do not call it a revival, but a "renewal" of the
Church. Many of them add that this renewal of the Church is being done by God as a prelude to a revival. Others claim that this is more than a mere renewal of the Church; it is God bringing to birth a new super-Church for the end timesa view which fits in with the doctrine known as "Latter-Rain Restorationism," which has been around in Pentecostal and charismatic circles for some time. The claim is also made by many advocates of the TB that those who resist this great move of God will, if they persevere in their resistance, be guilty of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, and various dreadful things will happen to them. What exactly will happen is often left rather vague; the language used is that opposers will be "swept aside," "crushed," that sort of thing. On his video, The Coming Revival, Rodney Howard-Browne warns that opposers will be struck dumb and blind. I would suggest that we can account for the TB by a combination of hypnotic power and influence, and supernatural demonic power. To keep ourselves safe against such deceptive movement, we need a true understanding of how the Holy Spirit works in the believer; and Scripture leads us to the conclusion that He works through the Word of God, through the truth, and that the first point of contact that the Spirit uses in us is our minds, our understandings. We must therefore reject all so-called spiritual experiences that by-pass or short-circuit the mind, or are not produced by the spiritual application of truth to the mind and heart. We must make sure that we have a spirituality that gives a prominent place to our minds, to understanding the truth, and we must make sure that Scripture is central in our relationship with God, and also in our worship of God, through the preaching and teaching of God's word. Isaiah [Esaias] 8:20: "To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them. http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/inquirers/toronto.aspx Walter Kambulow has only been repeating in his emails what is known to be an established fact in the Christian world that TACF is a deceptive movement which is contrary to Scriptures. Their so called leaders teach that they are anointed ones who are not to be touched or challenged by no one except God. They say they are accountable to no one but God! And when they are exposed for their obvious errors including being hypocritical, unkind, unloving, uncompassionate and unwise, they say Judge not, lest you be judged. They not only assume all prophecies to be from God but all supernatural manifestations to be from God as well including body jerking, animal noises and other kinds of weird manifestations. Many of their meetings are noted by the sheer stupidity of people who are not only out of mind but out of control. You have to see it to believe how crazy they are never mind their theology which they cannot and will not defend publically! They even threaten lawsuits against their critics, taking Christians to court and that a wife/husband can divorce or separate in any given marriage! TACF and Pastors by their lies, words, actions, deeds and lawsuit have shown themselves to be non-Christian there by leaving themselves wide upon to be sued by a Christian who is not as bad as they come, who has not been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of and who doesnt horendously slander his wife in public and is not a slanderer. John Wimber of Vineyard USA made some important position papers on what to do if a leader is slandered publically and nowhere in his papers did he advocate that Christians sue Christians like Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship has done. TORONTO AIRPORT CHRISTIAN
FELLOWSHIP et al. and WALTER KAMBULOW Court File No.C9-cv-342052 pp3 See Vineyard Position Paper #1 entitled "Why I respond to criticism" http://www.vineyardusa.org/upload/criticism.pdf. See Vineyard Position Paper #2 Understanding Church Discipline in a Vineyard Context http://www.vineyard.ca/engine.cfm?i=62 Toronto Blessing Jim Paul is the senior pastor of Metro Church International of Hamilton, Ontario, a satellite of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship under John Arnott. Jim also serves on the Board of Directors for Godspeak International, an internet based prophetic/healing training school in California. He is a pastor who is a feminist and whose wife Diane suffers from bipolar disorder, and along with their church are praying for Walter Kambulows repentance to return back to their church when in reality they are the one who need to repent from all their foolishness and doctrine of demons and allowing witches to run rampant in their midst. They are really foolish if they think that Walter will repent in anyway proving they are really nuts and not in touch with reality or what is happening around them! Yes Jim Paul is a proven liar, a deceiver, a bankrupt one, and a false prophet, along with his church as well a proven failure not a success who not only filed for Personal Bankruptcy but whose church East Gate Christian Fellowship in Hamilton Ontario literally died when the majority of members left it because they didnt like the way Pastors Jim and Diane Paul did things. See http://torontoblessing.tripod.com/ Pastor Jim Paul was sent out by Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship to represent it! In other words he was created by TACF and is their representative of it in every way including being a bankrupt one and a feminist and false prophet! He is a good representative of the Toronto Airport Church of the flesh as a proven false prophet who prophecies are useless and dead the moment they are spoken. He is a liar who pretends that he is successful while he personally bankrupted financially as well as his church East Gate International which he is trying to revive under the new name Metro Church International and is now family-run and owned with his wife and in laws. Yes, his original church died when most of the 400 attendees left including the treasurer because they didnt like the way Pastor Jim Paul ran things or Pastor Diane running around the church backwards during the service including communion or her constant complaints about depression! Yes, true men of God do not go bankrupt in any sense of the world like Jim Paul did. You cannot argue with success or failure for they speak for themselves! Just like success speaks for itself so does failure. And Pastor Jim Paul is not successful in any sense of the word be it in marriage, finances, raising of children or being a pastor.
Yes he is not a true man but a feminist who is being ruled by a wife who suffers and has suffered with bipolar disorder and manic depression for most of their marriage and has not been healed? There is nothing wonderful about defeated lying Pastor Jim Paul who is deceiving others that God speaks through him. see http://www.godspeak.net/OpenHeaven Jim has been on staff with GodSpeak for many years, as one of the prophetic school list leadership core, and as a member of GodSpeak's board of directors. In addition, he is senior pastor of Metro Church, plus he ministers internationally in the prophetic, physical healing and in the releasing Open Heavens over various areas. To date, Jim has ministered in 26 different countries. He is internationally recognized and respected as a prophet, and his ministry is earmarked with a strong prophetic anointing, as well as with physical healing, signs and wonders and angelic activity. Jim was ordained as a Baptist in 1976 where he served as a pastor for twelve years. In 1986, Jim became associated with the Association Of Vineyard Churches (AVC) and stayed with AVC until Partners In Harvest was (affiliated with TACF) was formed. p> Jim was part of the original Church plant team for Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, under John Arnott. Jim officially joined the TACF staff in 1994, where he was heavily involved in ministry there during the early days of the renewal. Jim served as the Minister of Church Planting and also as a part of their renewal itinerant staff. In February of 1996, he was "sent out" to become the senior pastor of their church plant (East Gate Christian Fellowship) in Hamilton. Jim also joined the leadership core of an online school of prophets in 1996, through GodSpeak International, and he joined the board of directors shortly after that. Over the last few years, Jim's wife Dianne has started ministering prophetically in meetings with him. Jim also ministers frequently with Georgian Banov. Jim has authored a book titled Prophecy In Practice. Deceivers want to tell us that the Toronto Blessings is from God but LAUGHING PASTOR RON CLARK WENT DOWN IN FLAMES CRYING is a great proof that South African Evangelist Rodney Howard-Browne is demonized and so is his laughter movement that is espoused by Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship or Toronto Airport Church of the Flesh. You cannot argue with facts including that Pastors RON CLARK and JACK FROST ended up being destroyed and cursed not blessed for trusting in men not God. So why is it surprising that anybody who gets involved with these Pentecostal fools and false prophets finds himself in places he never expected to be including being destroyed and cursed for not heeding what the bible tells them: 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 11:4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted-you may well put up with it!
Colossians 2:6 As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 2:7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 2:10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. I do have not much respect for those who are slain the spirit or soak as espoused by the Toronto Blessing. I find very little change in their lives or character or faith except they become egotistic and even arrogant and proud and liars if not deceivers. A true experience must result in being like Jesus in the fruits of the spirit and ministering to others in the gifts of the Spirit especially to the poor and needy not the rich and mighty. Being slain in the spirit and soaking are a poor substitute for the Word of God and praying in tongues which is the main building blocks of the Christian faith. Gods word is true: 2TM 3:15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, JUDE 1:20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 1:21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. HEB 5:9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, HEB 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus Christ not man nor demons is the author of the Christian's faith and of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. Buying into any religion including the Evangelical Religion or the Third Wave is dangerous to your spiritual and even physical health. All of Gods true children are anointed ones and not just some lying thieving idiot such as Benny Hinn or Jim Paul who prophecy things that never come to pass and have proven to be false. Everything in life must be checked with the Blessed Holy Spirit and not some ding dong who claims to be a man of God but is a false one. Religions come and go but Jesus Christ alone remains the same yesterday today and forever! And Jesus Christ alone can do what no other can do including save, heal, deliver, bless and prosper His true trusting ones! (For further analysis of these errors and deception see Apostasy at http://victorybooks.tripod.com/apostasy.htm where Larry Ollison, Ph.D. has written an excellent article A Checklist for Judging Prophecy, Dr. Ralph F. Wilson on Demonization and Deliverance in Jesus' Ministry and Scott Holtz God Is Cleaning His House. Scott Holtz states Unfortunately in all my travels the last 21 years, I have seen much compromise, gross Scriptural error, and demonic manifestations that have gone unchecked in the current prophetic movement. ...However, as we put quick distance between us and Paul Cain
and especially those other ministries in North America who considered Paul Cain their "spiritual father" we noticed a very tragic thing begin to happen in that local Messianic Fellowship. Strife, division, presumptuous prophetic words, and then friends dying of cancer and many marriages washing up into the secular divorce courts. Read below how Pastor Jack Frost in spite of foolish soaking and prophecies died unhealed) Elitism People have a problem with the elitism that the Toronto Blessing seems to bring with it and Christian families that are in are in full crisis because of this movement. Our Findings: A group of people and I formed a panel to research the Toronto Blessing also known by the names of "The Pensacola Outpouring", "The Brownsville Experience", "The Great Renewal", "The Third Wave", "The Signs and Wonders Movement" and "Power Theology." This is our findings: We feel that there is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit going on today. However, we feel that there is also an indulgence of the flesh, not unlike John Wesley had in his day. Check out what John Wesley thought of this type of Phenomena. We have a problem with the elitism that the Toronto Blessing seems to bring with it. Those who do not embrace this movement are not only made to feel like Second Class Christians but are shown no tolerance for questioning it. Here in Pensacola this movement has been a mixed "Blessing". We know of churches that are on the verge of a church split over this. We also know of Christian families that are in full crisis because of this movement. John Wesley said [if you look for anything but more love, you are looking wide of the mark, you are getting out of the royal way. And when you are asking others, 'Have you received this or that blessing?' if you mean anything but more love, you mean wrong; you are leading them out of the way, and putting them upon a false scent. Settle it then in your heart, that from the moment God has saved you from all sin, you are to aim at nothing more, but more of that love described in the thirteenth of the Corinthians. You can go no higher than this, till you are carried into Abraham's bosom.] Red flags should really go up when "Benny Hinn Condemns People Seeking "Revival" More Than God.. Mr. Hinn said on July 4, 1997 in a Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) interview: "Quit seeking revival and seek the Lord Who will revive you. You see, we are not seeking a move, not an experience. We are seeking Jesus, and when you seek Jesus, He'll breathe that mighty power of the Spirit. We're not seeking something that gives us a goosebump on the spine that only lasts on Sunday and is gone Monday. We want a genuine experience in the Spirit, and it only happens when Jesus is present." Mr. Hinn went on to say: "Saints, I beg of you, come out of your little picnic sessions and get out on the streets and let the world know that Jesus lives! How much more do you want? How many meetings can you go to? My God, some people are so fat they can't move. They've been fed, they've been blessed more than they could ever contain any more blessings. They've had more,
more, more, more than the world that's starving for the crumbs." John Wimber (the founder of the Vineyard Church) said: We need to move from a "["bless me" kind of focus to a "bless them" kind of focus.]" He said: "[I feel that it's very important that we direct this "refreshing" and "enabling" move of the Spirit to the New Testament works of the church, that is to say, having been refreshed, we now must channel these people into work that would express that refreshing in solid, biblical context.]" In other words we need to go out and do "MINISTRY". Many of the people that are into the Toronto Blessing are becoming so heavenly minded they are no earthly good. Case in point, a couple of youth at a local church were contemplating suicide so they could see Jesus sooner. This is, to us the most troubling aspect of this movement. This is NOT to say that the Charismatic type of worship is wrong. In my Fathers house there are many rooms and ALL ARE WELCOME, even the Non-Charismatic people. All we do know is the test of the Spirit is (Gal 5:22-26 NIV) (22)But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (23) gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.(24) Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. (25) Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. (26)Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. The Toronto Deception By a former Toronto Vineyard Pastor http://www.discernment-ministries.org/TheTorontoDeception.htm It has taken me nine years to actually come to the place where I would write this story. Part of the reason was because I was not fully convinced that it is appropriate to speak out against weaknesses in the body of Christ publicly. Another reason is because it has taken years of soul searching to become convinced that what happened in the Toronto Airport Church was actually all bad or at least more bad than good! For the past number of years I have called it a mixed blessing. I think James A. Beverly called it this in his book Holy Laughter and the Toronto Blessing 1994. Today I would call it a mixed curse concluding that any individual good that came from this experience is far outweighed by much harm and satanic deception. I suppose that therein has been my dilemma. I have tried to live my life in the fear of the Lord and Jesus told us that the unforgivable sin was the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Attributing to Satan what was in fact a work of God. If pressed as to whether or not the Toronto blessing is all God or all Devil I will still be hedgy, but I am convinced that Satan has used this experience to blind people to the historical doctrines of God, to produce fruit in keeping with repentance, to failing to test and discern the spirits and failing to test prophecy. After three years of being in the thick of the Toronto blessing our Vineyard assembly in Scarborough ( East Toronto) just about self destructed. We devoured one another, with gossip, backstabbing, division, sects criticism etc. After three years of soaking, praying for people, shaking, rolling, laughing, roaring, ministering at TACF on their prayer team, leading worship at TACF, preaching at TACF, basically living at TACF we were the most carnal, immature and deceived Christians that I know. I remember saying to my friend and senior pastor at
Scarborough Vineyard Church in 1997 that ever since the Toronto Blessing came we have just about fallen to bits! He agreed! My experience has been that the manifestation of spiritual gifts mentioned in 1st Corinthians 12 was much more common in our assembly, before January 1994 (when the Toronto blessing started.) than during this period of supposed Holy Spirit visitation. During 1992-1993 when praying for people we would experience what I believe was genuine prophesy, deliverance and much grace and favour from the Lord. After the Toronto Blessing started, all ministry time changed, the only prayers were More Lord MORE , the shouting of Fire the jerky shaking of the body with the ooh ooh OOH WOOOAAH prayer. (I kid you not!) On January 20th 1994 about 15 people from our church traveled over to Toronto Airport Vineyard in order to listen to Randy Clark, a Vineyard pastor from the USA. John Arnott had called our senior pastor to invite us. He communicated that Randy had been to the Rodney Howard Browne meetings and that the stuff had broke out in his church in the following weeks. John was hoping that something might break out with us too. We were only too happy to travel over. We were a church plant out of the Toronto Airport and we started in 1992. In those days there were three Vineyard Churches in Toronto. One Down Town church, Scarborough vineyard church to the east and the Airport Church. We were one big happy family. Because we were small in number we did special meetings, conferences etc, together. The year before most of our leadership teams joined and had headed to Nicaragua for a short term missions trip. We had genuine love and fellowship with each other. Since leaving the Vineyard churches I have read a fair bit of analysis from the critics. Some make out that the Toronto Blessing was one huge conspiracy to lead the body of Christ into heresy. Heresy and apostasy I suspect may well be the result, but none of these destinations were intentional. I am honestly convinced that the leaders in the Vineyard churches are genuine born-again Christians who love the Lord, but have fallen into deception. They have not loved the Lord enough to keep His commandments. They have failed to obey the scriptures and have been led astray by our longing for something bigger and brighter and more exciting and dynamic. I am guilty of this sin also. I have preached renewal in Korea, the United Kingdom, the USA and here in Canada. I am genuinely repentant and in writing this story I would ask you the bride and body of Christ to forgive me. Especially the Pentecostal / Charismatic Christians among you, for you are my immediate family theologically. I am an evangelical Christian, I always have been but I do not believe in the cessation of the spiritual gifts at the end of the apostolic era. I believe that it was my evangelical roots (my family are Baptists and I was born again in the Presbyterian Church.) that started to open my eyes to problems with this so called renewal. In hind sight I look back and think how could I have been so blind? I laughed at people acting like dogs and pretending to urinate on the columns of the TACF building. I watched people pretend to be animals, bark, roar, cluck, pretend to fly as if they had wings, perpetually act drunk and sing silly songs. How I thought that any of this was from the Holy Spirit of God amazes me today. It was loud irreverent and blasphemous to the Holy God of the Bible. I suppose in my mind I reasoned that as long as they did not teach any thing in direct violation to scripture then it was what we called the exotic. This is a buzz word for manifestations that could not be justified from a biblical perspective. I
was taught from the pulpit that we had two options. The order of the nursery full of life and messy or the order of the graveyard, very orderly but dead! As a young immature pastor I wanted life with mess. I failed to remember that God wants us to become mature and grow up in him. I became disconcerted by the prophetic words that came forth especially one by Carol Arnott in which she had her bride experience where she was taken into the very presence of Jesus and said that the love that she experienced was even better than sex! I was shocked in my spirit and thought how can one compare the love of God with sex? When we suspected that demons were running riot in our services John Arnott would teach that we should ask are they coming or going. If they are leaving then that is ok! John would defend the chaos by saying that we ought not be afraid of being deceived, if we have asked the Holy Spirit to come and fill us then how could Satan come and deceive us? This would make Satan very strong and God very weak! He said that we needed to have more faith in a Big God to protect us than in a Big Devil to deceive us. This sounded very convincing but was totally contrary to scripture for Jesus and Paul and Peter and John all warn us about the power of deceiving spirits and especially so in the last days. Again we did not love God enough to obey His Word and the result was that we opened ourselves up to lying spirits. May God have mercy upon us! Finally the penny dropped for me as I was rolling around one night drunk in the Spirit as we would say. I started singing and as I rolled around the floor the Nursery Rhyme Mary had a little lamb its fleece was white as snow. came to mind. I sang this in a mocking spirit and instantly my heart told me this was a demon. Instantly I repented and was in total shock. How could a demon get into me? Did I not love God? Was I not zealous for the things of God? Was I not nuts about Jesus? I knew that an unclean spirit had just manifested through me and I was guilty of great sin. After this experience I stayed away from TACF. I did not go back there any more. I did not possess the conviction to denounce the whole experience but thought that we where failing to pastor the Blessing well enough. Even after I stopped going over to TACF, I had to pastor the fruit of it. One example was when some of our people returned from a meeting there asking us if we had all received the golden sword of the Lord? I asked them what they were talking about thinking that it was some prophetic reference to the Holy Scriptures but they said, no, its not the Bible, its an invisible golden sword that only the really pure can receive. If taken in an unrighteous fashion then the Lord would kill you. But if you are holy enough to receive it then you can wield this sword and it will heal aids, Cancer etc. and bring salvation. How one wielded this sword was by pretending to have this invisible sword in your hand and motioning to strike people with it when in prayer! I thought while even in deception at this time that the TACF had become Looney bins! This was purportedly first received by Carol Arnott and then given to the ones holy enough to receive it! Another thing was the golden fillings in the teeth. We had people in our assembly peeping down one anothers throats looking for the gold fillings that God had placed there to show how much he loved them! In all my time there I only heard one message on repentance given by a visiting speaker from Hong Kong named Jackie Pullinger. It went over like a lead balloon. We were not there to repent, we were there to party in the Lord! After one year into the blessing I spoke out at a pastors meeting and said guys we have shaken, rattled, rolled, laughed cried and bought the tee-shirt. But we have no revival, no salvation, no fruit and no increased evangelism so whats the deal? I was soundly rebuked - who was I to expect to see fruit when the Lord was healing his broken people? We had been legalistic long enough and God was spending this time
restoring his wounded and freeing us from legalism I was told not to push the Lord and the harvest would come in his time. I knew this was wrong because the Lord had commanded us to go into all the earth and make disciples! Not, that everyone should take a sabbatical for who knows how long, while God does some strange new thing! Ultimately I left over something as controversial as the ordination of women. Personally I believe from scripture that women should not be pastors/ elders in a local assembly. I could be wrong on this and there is much debate in the Church today but that is my conviction and in the Vineyard churches they were ordaining all the pastors wives to co pastor with them. I am certainly for women in ministry but believe that the Elder/ pastor role in a local assembly has been reserved for men. I did not write scripture but God willing I will have the grace from now on to obey it. So there is my story. I could go on and document much excess, folly, sin and latter day reign teaching that manifest from the prophetic end of this Blessing but others have already done that. We sang about Joels army and the billion soul revival as if it were one of the Ten Commandments, and as always it was just around the corner. Next month, next year etc. Jesus said that when the son of man returns will he find faith upon the earth? And if he does not return when he does no flesh would be saved but for the sake of the elect he comes. This is a far cry from the dominionism that is being taught all through the vineyard / prophetic/ spiritual warfare movement. I honestly think that they think they are going to take over the whole world! While in the Vineyard I embraced a life verse from the Apostle Paul the phrase do not go beyond what is written! To finish I just want to say sorry for the damage, that I have personally done by teaching things that are not correct biblically. I repent before men as I already have before God. I will not excuse my falling into deception. I did not bother to test things when the scriptures commanded us to do so. Everyone who was there when this thing started knows that what I write is true, they would just come to different conclusions especially if they are still promoting the river! To those in the river I would say swim out, there are things living in the water that will bite you real good! I love the people of TACF and the Vineyard movement but I think that we have much to answer for and may the Lord open your eyes sooner rather than later. I suspect that when this letter goes online I will get bombarded by emails from both camps, some damning me for still believing in the ministry of the Holy Spirit and still walking in deception and some old friends damning me for exposing dirt or being negative about the Lords anointed! Well, the Lord knows my heart and by his grace he will guide me into all truth as I seek to know Christ and him crucified! If you believe that I walk in sin and error please pray for me that the Lord would forgive me and open my eyes. I will study the word to show my self a work man approved! I would call on all who read this to pray that the Lord would open the eyes of all who have been involved in this deception. Whether leader or follower, we are loved and the Lord is a forgiving God. He says if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. I believe we are like the church in Laodicea, we think that we are rich, have prospered and need nothing, we do not realise that we are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind and naked. We must take the Counsel of Jesus and buy gold refined in the fire (which is his suffering, not a false spirit!), white garments to clothe our shameful nakedness and salve for our
eyes that we might see again. Jesus is calling us to repentance and thank the Lord that he is, for it will lead us to true restoration with our Father! If God has forgiven me and opened my eyes then he can do it for all those caught in deception too. I will finish with a warning from Paul, he says if you think you are standing firm be careful lest you fall. Sincerely Paul Gowdy The Toronto Blessing is a movement that began in 1994 at the Toronto Airport Vineyard Church. Since that night, on any given evening, if one entered a service at the church, one may encounter some "strange" activities which include people barking like dogs, roaring like lions, laughing hysterically, or acting as if they were drunk. The "Toronto Blessing" is a movement that finds its roots in the Charismatic Movement which, in turn, emerges from Pentecostalism. [See Section on the Vineyard Churches] Inspired by the preaching of Rodney Howard Browne, known for sparking behaviors such as "holy laughter," being slain in the Holy Spirit and drunkenness in the Holy Spirit, the Toronto Blessing started at the Toronto Airport Vineyard Church on January 20, 1994. Randy Clark, a Vineyard pastor from St. Louis, Missouri encountered Howard-Browne in Tulsa, Oklahoma and came under his influence. John Arnott, senior pastor of the Airport Vineyard Church had learned of these phenomenon and invited Clark to preach. To the great surprise of both, following the sermon people began to laugh hysterically, cry, leap, dance, and even roar as a result of what the church calls "a move of the Holy Spirit" The "strange," "free move" associated with the "Toronto Blessing" has stirred controversy within the Christian faith. The opponents, including many people who also are in the Pentecostal faith, argue that the activities taking place at the nightly services are demonic, strange and should not occur in the church. However, many Pentecostals argue that the "Toronto Blessing" is a genuine manifestation of God's Holy Spirit, in which people are receiving healing, joy, peace, and faith. However is it a move of God for people to walk around a church and cluck like chickens or suddenly fall to the floor (better know as "slain in the spirit" by Pentecostals)? Many people feel that the actions are not from God. The Bible warns us that satan will come with all power and signs and false wonders 2 Thess 2:9. That false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, the very elect:. Matthew 24:24. Great revivals have occured many times in history... but they all have certain characteristics.. Chief among them being that they changed the moral climate of a community. Even a cursory reading only serves to emphasize the differences between the Toronto Blessing and the other great revivals on this continent and others. While it is not our place to tell the Holy Spirit how to conduct His business, God is not the author of confusion1 Cor 14:33. And let us not forget Pauls words Let all things be done properly and in an orderly manner 1 Cor 14:40. (See section on Revival) Aside from the "unusual" behaviors demonstrated by the people that night, a more "interesting"
factor is that the "move of the Holy Spirit" still has not stopped. Tens of thousands of people are flying to Toronto in order to participate in this movement. Following their exposure, many people often become evangelistic, zealous, and then spread the same activities to their respective places. As a result the "Toronto Blessing" has spread to evangelical congregations around the world. Greg DesVoignes says the following in his article A Toronto Blessing... Or Kundalini Curse? While the Toronto Blessing experiences put a person on the floor, cause physical contortions, and epileptic type symptoms, Biblical examples of encounters with the real God and His Spirit show quite a different scenario. In Ezekiel 2:1 Ezekiel was given a prophetical vision by God. In vs. 26-28 he sees what he describes as, "...the likeness of the Glory of the Lord". He said when he saw this, he fell on his face [out of fear]. But what happened next is most revealing as we consider and compare the Toronto Blessing. "Then He said to me, 'Son of man stand on your feet that I may speak with you'. And as He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet." Ez 2:1-2 What? Notice that when the Spirit entered Ezekiel, it set him on his feet, and did not put him to the floor. It lifted him, strengthened. This Biblical example is contrary to the "anointing" of Holy Laughter or the Toronto Blessing in which people are put to the floor and weakened with some sort of sensual experience for hours. But it's not the only one. Elijah's encounter with an angel is also revealing. In Kings 19:5-7 we see Elijah in despair and giving up. But an angel of the Lord said to him, "Arise and eat". This happened twice. The angel lifted him. His presence did not keep Elijah on the ground or weaken him or cause strange manifestations. Daniel had a similar encounters. In Daniel 8:15-18 Daniel falls on his face from fear at the sight of a vision. But we see in verse 18, Daniel said of this being, "but he touched me and made me stand upright". The same thing happened in Daniel 10:9-18. Encounters with the spiritual realm of God lift the person up but did not put them on the ground. The New Testament gives us similar examples. Consider the work of Jesus. In Matthew 9:27 Jesus tells a paralyzed man, "Rise, take up your bed and go home". And what about those who touched the garment of God incarnate? They were healed, not put to the ground, not filled with shaking, twitching, laughing. Aside from the lack of Biblical evidence and the scripture contradiction of these manifestations, another thing that bothers me about the Toronto type "anointing". There are many people who manifest many of these same symptoms that wish they would wouldn't. These are the people with neurological problems that they have through diseases, injuries, the result of using drugs, or just being born with a problem. They would like to stop shaking and trembling. They would like to come out of their curled up positions. They would rejoice if they could stop taking insulin so they would not stagger and manifest signs of
intoxication as a result of insulin shock. The epileptic would desire not to fall in a public place, lose control, and have people watch as their eyes roll back or twitch under their eyelids. Are these experiences we seek? Would an encounter with God cause symptoms of disease, brain injury, mental illness or even possession? Or, like we see in scripture, would an encounter with God stop these things?
Chapter 4
Rev. Gordon Williams &Toronto Curse Many pastors across Canada and in many countries have been trying to accommodate the Toronto Blessing with the result that it has become the Toronto Curse because of the disruptions in worship and the creation of a new kind of Christian Elite Pharisee whose experience makes them superior Christians in their own eyes rather than people with a broken and contrite spirit (Ps. 51: 17). The Toronto Blessing continues to be a dangerously mixed blessing by Rev. Gordon Williams, Orangeville, Ontario Rev. Williams appeared for several years with Rev. David Mainse on 100 Huntley Street. He then pastored Good Samaritan Church, Kitchener and is now an evangelist who travels extensively across Canada. Since writing my first report about the Vineyard Experience, I have been asked to make a follow-up report about what is happening in the re-named former Toronto Airport Vineyard which is now called the Toronto Christian Fellowship. Since their removal from the Vineyard Fellowship, the Toronto Christian Fellowship has continued to function. In spite of their denials, the Toronto Christian Fellowship was removed by the leader of the Vineyard because of the kind of manifestations and teaching which John Wimber was quoted as saying in Charisma Magazine as being neither Scriptural nor historical. Their leadership had been asked to take control of their meetings so that the obvious non-Scriptural things would cease. They disregarded the request and so were dis-fellowshipped. However, they simply changed their name and continued on doing their so-called ministry. The Senior Pastor, John Arnott, to John Wimber, the International Director of the Vineyard Ministries International, in a letter widely distributed by the Toronto Group leaves the impression that it was an amicable removal. Would you allow us to leave with your blessing? We ask you to take this action to minimize serious hurtful repercussions for the Body of Christ. We think very highly of you and the Vineyard, and we have so appreciated the times we have shared. We want to continue fellowshipping with all who love Jesus and to continue ministering Gods love to the whole Body of Christ. Whenever a church is removed from the fellowship of its sponsoring body, it is usually done because of a serious difference of opinion after a lot of prayer and searching of the Scriptures. The Toronto Christian Fellowship has continued to follow the course on which they have been headed. They have been teaching recently that they have now moved beyond the Scriptures with new teaching and new manifestations of the Spirit. Paul warns us all about such a dangerous practice: I have applied this to myself and Apollos for your benefit , brethren, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another (1 Cor. 4: 6). The Greek here warns us that whenever any person has experiences that are beyond what is written in the Scriptures that person becomes conceited, inflated with pride, has an exaggerated sense of ones own importance, and then differentiates or
distinguishes and shows favor towards one person over another. This is what the Toronto Blessing has brought into our churches: people who see themselves as being more spiritual than other Christians and who use their experiences or the so-called manifestations that they have experienced as the basis for their superiority. Because of this spiritual superiority many of the Toronto Blessing people have left their former churches to form new churches for the new spiritually elite. I recently received a letter from a Spirit-filled Christian in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, who along with his son had been removed from the membership of their church because they had questioned their pastor about the direction in which he was leading their church. He had attended meetings in Toronto where he had experienced new manifestations and is determined to lead his church into those experiences and teaching. When questioned about his teaching and the fact that the signs were not to be found in the Bible, the pastor said, as he had been taught in Toronto, that they had now moved beyond the Bible and with that came new signs and manifestations. Not only was the man who wrote me the letter, but many others as well, kicked out of his church. This is happening in many places in Canada and in other countries of the world. I encouraged this man and his son to gather together those who had been removed from their church and have fellowship meetings so that they could all be encouraged to grow in Jesus Christ and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit according to the Bible. Unfortunately, this is happening to Spiritfilled Christians all over the world. If they are not willing to accept the so-called Toronto Blessing manifestations they are being kicked out of their churches. Ifpeople do not conform, then they are gone. This intolerance is quite the opposite of the agape love which Paul defines in 1 Corinthians 13. Many pastors across Canada and in many countries have been trying to accommodate the Toronto Blessing with the result that it has become the Toronto Curse because of the disruptions in worship and the creation of a new kind of Christian Elite Pharisee whose experience makes them superior Christians in their own eyes rather than people with a broken and contrite spirit (Ps. 51: 17). But do not mistake what I am saying here either. There are many so-called evangelical Christians who have a Spiritual Superiority Complex which places them outside of Gods will and who completely reject the work and gifts of the Holy Spirit by dismissing them as not coming from the Holy Spirit since they believe that God has stopped doing this kind of ministry or they attribute it to the work of the devil or at least to human nature. In almost every meeting that I have preached and ministered in during the past few years, I have had people in attendance whom had been at the Toronto Airport Vineyard. They are easily recognized by their uncontrollable, epileptic seizure-like, body movements and their animalistic roaring and growling. These people do not have the Holy Spirit. In every case, I have gone to them, taken authority over them and commanded the evil spirit to leave them. The evil spirit left, and they stopped their shaking and I prayed with them to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and they received the Holy Spirit, began to speak in tongues, and received peace. Often, in our ministry, people fall down under the power of the Holy Spirit, which is an authentic experience when the Holy Spirit causes it. And, the way to test that is to see what the results are: salvation, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, healing, deliverance, a gift of the Holy Spirit, a revelation, or guidance from Jesus Christ.
Jesus tells us what the real signs which are to follow those who believe are supposed to be: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover (Mk. 16: 17- 18). These are the only authentic signs or manifestations that are from God. Whenever people ask me How can I identify an authentic or a real Christian?, I simple tell them to read this passage of Scripture. Of course, there are others (Rom. 12: 4 -8; 1 Cor. 12: 1-11) which are also found in the Bible. The signs and manifestations which the Holy Spirit gives are not the kind of uncontrollable possession that has been and continues to be seen at the Toronto Blessing. Because I have exercised authority over many who have been exhibiting the Toronto Blessing manifestations and set them free from the grip of the enemy, I have been accused of casting the Holy Spirit out of Christians. How silly! Neither any other human person, nor I have that kind of authority. I just cooperate with the Holy Spirit in accordance to what the Bible says. After I have set people free, I then pray with them to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and they receive the Holy Spirit and begin to speak in tongues which is exactly what is described in the Bible. In my ministry for some years now I have been doing what I call Charismatic Evangelism in which I invite people to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord, minister the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, pray with people to receive gifts of the Holy Spirit and healing and Gods plan for their lives. I look only for those authentic signs, wonders and miracles that are found in the Bible. The Bible is our Covenant with God. If it is not in the Bible, it is not from God. Recently, at a meeting in Sudbury, Ontario, when I gave an altar call for ministry at the conclusion of our meeting, I saw a couple standing at the end of the prayer-line who were exhibiting the Toronto Blessing symptoms of uncontrollable shaking and were roaring. I quickly went to them. I took authority over them and commanded anything that was not of Jesus to leave. It left. They stopped their shaking. I then prayed with them to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the laying on of hands; they were slain in the spirit, and immediately began to speak in tongues. They came to all of our meetings and before I left they thanked me for ministering to them because they now knew the peace of God that passes all understanding and they had self-control (Gal. 5: 23). In January of this year, I received a telephone call from a pastor in Stouffville, Ontario. He wondered if I might be able to help him minister to a couple from his church. They had attended a Toronto Vineyard meeting and had come back home with uncontrollable shaking which they had been told was a manifestation of the Holy Spirit. When this shaking started they could not stop or control it at their wish. This couple had gone to the Pearson International Airport in Toronto in order to catch a flight. While they were walking through the terminal, this uncontrollable shaking started to happen. They fell on the floor shaking and growling. People in the terminal thought that they were experiencing epileptic seizures and they called for medical attention for them. They missed their flight and were humiliated and embarrassed. The pastor had never seen anything like this and wanted to know if! knew anything about it. I asked him, Have you ever had any experience in casting out demons (evil spirits)? He responded, Is that what we are dealing with here? Yes. He told me that although he believed in it because it was in the Bible, he had never cast any out before. I gave him instructions about
how to cast out the demons which these people had received at the Toronto Blessing. I checked with him several months later. He told me that he had no problem setting the people free. They now had peace and self-control and the Toronto Blessing manifestations had left them. I am frequently asked, But Gordon, I know people who received Jesus as their Savior, or received healing at the Toronto Vineyard. If what you are saying is true, then how can this happen? Well, anybody who calls on the name of the Lord, no matter where they are, will catch His attention and be saved or healed. The mistake we often make is to connect calling on the name of the Lord with manifestations that are not from Him. As I have often pointed out to people, the Toronto Blessing is a mixed blessing. It is a place of spiritual warfare but with one terrible problem. One side, the supposedly Christian side, cannot tell who the enemy is and so they practice a reverse blasphemy of the Holy Spirit because they cannot tell the difference between the work of the Holy Spirit and the devil and evil spirits. The Toronto Blessing is a very dangerous place to take people. Some will be blessed but many will be cursed by the enemy. I frequently drop in to visit and see what is new at the Toronto Blessing. Many of their people pray with those who request prayer by using New Age prayer methods. They do not lay hands on people as we have been told by Jesus to do so. Rather they move their hands around a persons body a few inches away from them without touching them. This is supposed to demonstrate a new revelation in prayer. It is no such thing. I recently watched a New Age Television Program during which the host showed her viewers how to pray properly for people and so cooperate with the ruling spirits. Biblically, the only methods of prayer for healing that we are given permission to use is to pray with the laying on of hands (Mk. 16: 17); for elders to anoint with oil (Jas. 5: 14); and for those who have the gifts of healing or miracles (1 Cor. 12: 9, 10) to use them so that healing can be received. And certainly, we are told to pray or to intercede for others (1 Tim. 2: 1) when they are not in our presence. On February 10,1996,! went to the Pearson International Airport, Toronto, Ontario, in order to pick up a friend who was returning from a ministry trip in Jamaica. I arrived there, only to discover that his plane was going to be two hours late. So, I decided that I would go over to the former Toronto Airport Vineyard and see what was happening there. I arrived while they were still singing choruses. I guessed that there might have been about 350 people in attendance that night. There were the usual manifestations of shaking and some roaring. I noticed that they had installed two large video screens which were located one on each side of the platform. The audience was being constantly scanned by cameras and could see themselves on the huge screens. Many were taking great delight and were out-doing themselves for the cameras in their performances as they could see themselves larger than life. At the conclusion of the singing, the leader announced that he was inviting a young woman who was supposed to be a prophet to come up on the platform and give a word of prophecy. A young woman, in her early 20s, went up on the stage with her head moving rapidly, back and forth from side to side, like a person would shake his head in order to communicate no in body language. She finally stopped her head movement and said, I have a word from the Lord. This is what the Lord says: I want you to praise me with a new praise word. This is the new praise word: OOH! OOH! OOH! 00! I couldnt believe my ears. The leader then took up the invitation, Lets all use the new praise word: OOH! OOH! OOH! OOH! At that point I got up
and left the meeting to the echoing OOH! OOH! OOH! OOH!. OOH is not a praise word! We praise the Lord our God with our own language with which we tell Him how much we appreciate Him for who He is. We praise Him with gratitude in our hearts. In Hebrew there are five legitimate words which mean Praise (Yadah; Hallel; Shabach; Zamar; Barak) all of which have their Greek equivalents, and each of those words have physical body movements that help people to express our praise. I visited John Arnott, the Senior Pastor of the former Toronto Airport Vineyard a couple of years ago in order to talk with him about some of the problems that Ihave encountered in our meetings across the country that have come out of the Toronto Vineyard. He told me that I must be mistaken. He just could not see how anybody could pick up evil spirits in their meetings. After all, he explained to me, We do not pay any attention to the devil in our meetings. And that is the very reason why they are having problems. We must pay attention to the devil in all meetings. We must become familiar with his wiles (Eph. 6: 11) or else he will victimize the very people to whom we are attempting to minister the Gospel. John Arnott also told me that when they pray with people they instruct them not to pray along but to keep their minds blank and to not try to think or pray. This is a very dangerous method of so-called prayer. Prayer is a communications skill that requires that we use our minds and not only think but to speak as well. Prayer is the means by which we can have a two-way relationship with Jesus Christ. We must also ask for forgiveness of our sins when we approach God. Repentance is a requirement for receiving anything from God. It is only after we have dealt with our sin that we can approach Him in order to ask him to meet our needs. Mindless prayer is not prayer at all. Thoughtless prayer allows us to be victimized by the enemy of our soul. Thoughtless, unrepentant prayer combined with a lack of the gift of Discerning of Spirits sets the stage for what is called the transference of spirits when evil spirits can move freely from one person to another possessing and harassing people by causing them to do physical things such as epileptic-like seizures. Evil spirits have a history of imitating normal physical, emotional and psychological disorders. Their uncontrollable physical manifestations are not usually misidentified as being the works of the Holy Spirit but at the Toronto Blessing they are. The result is that innocent people go there expecting to receive a blessing from God when in fact they receive the devils blessing and go away harassed. I have received letters and phone calls from people all over the world who have sought my advice because they have come away from Vineyard meetings harassed and feeling as if they are being continuously punched or kicked in the stomach, feeling sick, experiencing uncontrollable epileptic or spastic-like seizures. They have been told by Vineyard leadership that what they were experiencing was the work of the Holy Spirit. How unfortunate to think that such terrible things are being attributed to the gentle Holy Spirit! Most people have a difficult time accepting the authentic signs, wonders, miracles and manifestations that are described in the Bible. Most people and churches do not use the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Most churches do not offer healing or deliverance ministries. Most churches do not have altar calls for ministry at all, or even most, or even a few, of their worship services. The result is that we have a majority of spiritually starved and needy people who in their desperation
to find God will chase after anything that they are told is from God. They will fall for anything except the authentic works of Jesus Christ done in the power of the Holy Spirit. Even the people during Jesus earthly ministry were constantly looking for signs but they were always the wrong signs. That is the reason why Jesus said, An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a whale, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth (Matt. 12: 39 - 40). And when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, it was concluded by the chief priests and Pharisees, For this man performs many signs (Jn. 11:47) but they were the wrong signs. So from that day on they took counsel how to put him to death (Jn. 11: 53). Whenever we stick to the Bibles signs, wonders and miracles we may never receive the acceptance of people who are looking for the wrong signs but we shall receive Jesus Christs acceptance and fellowship. A pastor who has a growing and exciting ministry in western Canada in which people are being saved, baptized with the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are being used, the signs following are evident, people are being healed, set free through deliverance ministry, asked me, after visiting the Toronto Airport Vineyard, Gordon, why are we not attracting crowds of people like the Vineyard is doing? I answered him by saying, As long as you are going to preach and minister according to the Bible, you will not attract crowds of people like this. You will never become a tourist attraction. As long as you are faithful to Jesus Christ and have the authentic signs, wonders and miracles, you will never likely have the crowds but you will have a Church that is safe for God to send people to for ministry. The ignorance of the Bible and the works of the Holy Spirit have placed many people, churches, radio and television ministries, and itinerant ministries in jeopardy for their very existence because they are so desperate for success, numbers and money that they are ready to chase after any experience or anybody whom they think will attract people to them. There are many people today who do not know their Scriptures and the penalties that come from straying away from them. They are like the Sadducees of whom Jesus said, You are wrong, because you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God (Matt. 22: 29; Mk. 12: 24). The Scriptures are our protection. They point us, not to experiences but to a relationship with Jesus Christ. You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life (Jn. 5: 39 - 40). The Bible directs us to Jesus. Jesus directs us, not to experiences but to a relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit directs us, not to experiences and manifestations, but to a relationship with our Heavenly Father. But! also know that when we are in Gods presence that we shall have experiences. That is normal. But when we try to build our Christian Life on the basis of physical or emotional experiences rather than the Scriptures, then we are definitely headed for deception and possession and the wide path that leads to destruction. Even the Book of Revelation warns us about the danger of going beyond the Scriptures: I warn every one who hears the words of the ;prophecy of this book: if any one adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which
are described in this book (Rev. 22: 18 - 19). If there is one characteristic about God as Father, Son or Holy Spirit it is that He can talk. He talked to Adam and Eve. He talked to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the great men and women of faith. He talked to His disciples and He talked to Paul. He talks to anyone who will listen. He talks to us today through the Holy Spirit who is our Counselor. He is a talking God. We get o know Him personally through Jesus Christ and the power and personality of the Holy Spirit Who develops the character of Jesus is us (Gal. 5: 22-23) and Who equips us for ministry with the gifts of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 12: 6 - 8; 1 Cor. 12: 4 - 12). The Holy Spirit does not just over-power us, He empowers us. He causes not cause or make us do weird things or embarrassing things. He causes us to do holy thingswhich are quite different from most religious experiences. Certainly, I know as old-time Pentecostals know, that we often experience a temporary shaking or trembling which passes quickly but which does not cause us to have epileptic-like seizures. There are often involuntary physical reactions to the presence, power and work of the Holy Spirit such as temporary shaking. Even people who have experienced falling down under the power of the Holy Spirit, or what has commonly become known as being slain by the Spirit, are aware of what is going on, know what is happening, and receive communication or some kind of ministry from the Holy Spirit. But the gifts and ministry are always under our self-control (Gal. 5: 23). We have to decide whether we are going to cooperate with the Holy Spirit and exercise the gifts and ministry which Jesus has given us. And so,it is always in a personal relationship directed by the Holy Spirit according to Scripture that we serve Jesus and carry out our ministries an not in an over-powering experience that is beyond our control. That is what happens in the occult world where people are possessed and have no control. Over the many years that I have been ministering in the Holy Spirit, I have been constantly aware of the fact that many people who come for prayer during an altar call come looking for an experience. Such people do not want, and are not open to, a relationship with God. They come seeking a gift and not the Giver. They want to have an experience from which they can walk away without any responsibility for walking daily with the Holy Spirit under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. They want to live from one spiritual high to the next. That is not Gods desire for us. He wants more. His desire is for us to have a daily walking and talking relationship with Him in which He will let us experience His love and guidance. Whenever I recognize that a person is seeking to have an experience such as falling down under the power of the Holy Spirit, I will prevent him or her from falling down in order to find out what kind of ministry he or she requires. I will tell them that it is not necessary tgo fall down in order to receive ministry. Often it is for a specific need that they have been led to respond to my invitation for prayer during an altar call: salvation, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, prayer for a specific need, encouragement, confirmation of something that Jesus has told them, healing, a gift of the Holy Spirit or whatever else the Holy Spirit shows me.. Frequently people have been led to believe that unless they fall down they cannot receive ministry from Jesus. Or, even worse, they have been led to believe that there is something wrong with them if they do not fall down. The result is that many people will boast about the Carpet Time they have spent at various Toronto Blessing meetings. And yet, there is no change in their
attitude or behavior except that they begin to think that they are more spiritual than other Christians are. On the other hand, I want to emphasize that the Holy Spirit will often cause people to fall down so that He can have them in position where they can receive ministry. And when that does occur, it is important not to get the person up off the floor before the Holy Spirit has completed ministering to him or her. Neither falling nor standing is a sign of Gods favor or preferential treatment. I have seen people receive signs, wonders, healing and miracles standing, sitting on chairs or lying on the floor. The ministry which is received is the important thing. When experiences become our purpose in meetings, then the devil will always accommodate us. At the so-called Toronto Blessing, they move from the ridiculous to the extreme. People jump or shall I say hop around doing what they call spiritual pogo jumping from crawling around like animals to swimming on the floor. What a sad, sad indictment upon those who want to impress others with this kind of spirituality. Paul describes orderly worship by means of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Biblically, our bodies are designed for praise in various forms from kneeling, raising hands, dancing, sitting, lying prostrate and several other positions that are all part of worship, praise, and thanksgiving. But, as is usually the case, people stay away from Biblically supported acts of worship in their attempts to worship in ways that seem right to men but whose end is destruction. In my seminars for Praise and Worship, we teach people about the body movements that are described in the Bible and warn people about those actions which the god of this world encourages so that we can be degraded, humiliated and turned away from the God of the Bible with Whom we have an everlasting covenant through Jesus Christ. Our God is the One about whom John wrote, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (Jn. 3: 16). He loves us into the Kingdom of God and does not force us by overpowering us. He desires to have a relationship with us and that is the reason that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Acts 2: 21). He gives us the fruit of the Spirit so that we can walk in the Spirit which requires a personality composed of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law (Gal. 5: 22 - 23). It takes such a personality to walk and talk with God and not be deceived by so-called new manifestations that go beyond the Scriptures. In John Arnotts book, The Fathers Blessing, he attempts to explain many of the phenomena which have been occurring in the meetings, in such a way that they might appear to be biblical. However, he does something that many people do when they attempt to make ungodly experiences acceptable; he quotes scripture which has nothing to do with what he is trying to prove. This is called isogesis because it isolates or separates the verse from its context in order to make it say something that it does not say. For instance, in the chapter Decently and in Order which comes from Pauls instructions to the church about how to conduct meetings (1 Cor. 14: 40) by using the gifts of the Holy Spirit, he does not go on to tell us how the gifts of the Holy Spirit are used in his meetings but uses the verse to justify the acceptance of non-Scriptural phenomenon which have absolutely nothing to do with what Paul was instructing to do in worship. The legitimate gifts of the Holy Spirit are not used in the former Toronto Vineyard meetings as Paul directs us to use them in our meetings (1 Cor. 14). This verse is used to justify manifestations that are not from God.
John Arnott attempts to justify the non-biblical manifestations on the basis of God saying, See I am doing a new thing! (Is. 43: 19). The new thing that God is talking about is the New Covenant which He was about to put in place through Jesus Christ and which would mean our salvation through faith and the sending of the Holy Spirit as prophesied by Joel (Joel 2: 28-32). He is not talking about things that go beyond the New Covenant. The whole point of God giving us the Bible was so that we would know the difference between the things that are from Him and those which are not. He put it in writing and concluded it with an Amen (Rev. 22: 21). And so, what John Arnott is attempting to do is to add to the Scriptures by misinterpreting them and misapplying them. An example of questionable exegesis is his attempt to explain the animal noises. Certainly, Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David but that is a symbolic title which describes him as the King of Israel but nowhere in Scripture does he go about making animal noises that sound like a lion or any other kind of an animal. His roaring is in the clarity of his preaching, teaching, healing and casting out of demons. His roaringis heard in the clarity of his spoken word, It is finished! (Jn. 19: 30). That is the reason that we are warned by Peter, who knew the clarity of Jesus roaring, in his own language, Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour (1 Pet. 5: 8). The warning is clear. If you hear someone, anyone who sounds like a roaring lion, he or she is not from God. He comes from the god of this world He sounds like his master. The vocal identification of those people who have been sent by Jesus Christ is speaking in tongues (Mk. 16: 17; Acts 2: 4). Certainly God does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets (Amos 3:7) but he always does it within the parameters of the written word which is the Bible. And certainly he told some of the prophets in the Bible to do some strange things. And from time to time today He will tell some of todays prophets to do some of the same strange things that He told some former prophets to do, but they are the same strange things that are recorded in the written Bible. I remember talking to a young woman who had received the gift of prophecy. God had told her to do some strange things with some sticks of wood. When she shared His instructions with other Christians they told her that God wouldnt tell her to do such things. After listening to her, I asked if she had ever read what God had told Ezekiel to do (Ez 37: 15 - 28). She had not. After she read Gods instructions to Ezekiel, she exclaimed, That is exactly what God told me to do! She then opened a notebook that she was carrying in which she had written the instructions that the Holy Spirit had given her almost word for word as recorded in the Bible. The new things are not really new. They are recorded in the Bible and whether we like it or not, God has limited his actions and ministry to what is recorded in the Bible. We must become as wise as the Bereans of whom it was said, These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so (Acts 17: 11). All of our ministries must learn that we cannot go on our experiences if they do not find support in the Scriptures. And we cannot just use the Bible as a source of scripture verses taken out of context that are used in order to proof-text experiences that are not from God. 100 Huntley Street, Canadas first National daily Christian Television Program used to have what was called a Scriptural Overview at the conclusion of each telecast during which time the guests were examined Scripturally according to what they had shared on television. I was responsible for that segment. It was a growing
experience for me. I often heard a guest say something that I agreed with and thought was right on and correct according to the Bible. I would then search the Bible in order to find a Scripture verse that I could use to support what was said. Much to my surprise, I would discover that what had been shared was not according to Scripture. On the other hand,! often heard a guest share something that I thought was not in the Bible and when I looked to find a corrective verse, I discovered that the guest was correct according to Scripture. Our life and experiences as Christians both in Worship Services and outside of them must be examined according to the Scriptures. When we live our life under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and according to the Scriptures, then we shall hear the words, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your Lord (Matt. 25: 21,23). I was, and often am, accused of thinking that I have all of the answers. I do not. But when people door say something that is not according to the Bible, then I know that they are outside of Gods will regardless of what kind of a religious experience they have had. Somebody once said, You can argue with a man who has a theory but you cannot argue with a man who had an experience.. This is true as long a person does not have a standard by which to measure his or her experiences. But we do have a standard by which to measure our experiences: the Bible. And so, we must be willing to examine our religious or spiritual experiences in order to see whether those things were so(Acts 17: 11). To be off by even one degree means that we shall be misled and miss the destination that has been prepared for us. The Toronto Blessing continues to be a dangerously mixed blessing.

Chapter 5
Intolerance of TACF If they are not willing to accept the so-called Toronto Blessing manifestations they are being kicked out of their churches. If people do not conform, then they are gone. This intolerance is quite the opposite of the agape love which Paul defines in 1 Corinthians 13. (Rev. Gordon Williams) No Sterling Character Or Perfect Integrity
Toronto Blessing Has No Sterling Character Or Perfect Integrity

http://www.cephas-library.com/toronto_blessing_has_no_sterling_character.html September 30, 2006 At Toronto is held that the Fruit of the Spirit, and the gentle love of the Father (the "Father Heart of God") precedes any experience. Sterling character and perfect integrity must outperform mere phenomena in every individual. Hence character is prioritized. TACF Supporter It's a fact that Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship is not a church but a fellowship run by a family owned benevolent dictator Pastor John Arnott who has his wife Carol on the five man board along with his right hand man Pastor Steve Long to ensure that they have the monopoly and control. Yes it's not a democratic run nonprofit organization or a church owned and run by members. If John Arnott had any integrity he would have a 12 man board just like Billy Graham Evangelistic Organization? And Pastor Steve Long would not tell lies about others and be a proven coward The Liar http://victorybooks.tripod.com/apostasy.htm The Toronto Blessing is a term coined by the British press to describe the revival and resulting phenomena that began in January of 1994 at Toronto Airport Vineyard Christian Fellowship, now known as Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF), a neocharismatic evangelical Christian church located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Participants in the conferences and meetings sponsored by TACF have reported healings, incidents of personal transformation and a greater awareness of God's love. It has also been referred to as "The Father's Blessing", "The Anointing", "The Awakening", "The River", "The Fire". In Christendom there are two main point of views about Toronto Blessing Its of God or its Demonic. A) At TACF Revival services, worshippers have exhibited unusual behaviours that they attribute to an encounter with God and the fire of the Holy Spirit. The most common described behaviours include hysterical laughter (or holy laughter), physical spasms or jerks, falling to the floor under the Holy Spirit's power (aka slain in the Spirit) and speaking in tongues. Other less common behaviours include manifestations that resembled roaring like lions and barking like dogs. (See Derek Prince commentary). At one time the TACF website described it thus:
The Toronto Blessing is a transferable anointing. In its most visible form it overcomes worshippers with outbreaks of laughter, weeping, groaning, shaking, falling, 'drunkenness,' and even behaviours that have been described as a 'cross between a jungle and a farmyard.'" Loud noises, jerking, aggressiveness, character assassination, arrogance, intolerance, howling, eerie and hysterical laughter, lack of control, barking like dogs and roaring like lions are not the evidence of the Holy Spirit in believers but a sign of demonic activity . These are temporary phenomena because the demonic activities occur in their physical bodies and in their souls for a period only. Demons do not tamper with your free wills. Even Legion, who probably had thousands of demons, had the free will to desire deliverance and salvation from our Lord (Mark 5:1-15). The bible tells us what the evidence of the Holy Spirit is - Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 5:23 gentleness, selfcontrol. - James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. The New Testament tells us that evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. It tells us real Christians are humble, meek, forgiving, loving, gracious, long suffering, kind, not judgmental and full of faith and power. It tells us that apostate Christians are lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, traitors, headstrong, haughty, sensual and have a form of godliness but deny its power. They are always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. They resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was. "...within the professing Christian church at least as many people need deliverance from evil spirits as need healing from sickness and that's about eighty per cent." (Derek Prince's - `How Jesus dealt with demons'.) James told us that Christians can be influenced by a wisdom that is earthly sensual demonic and where exist confusion and every evil work: James 3:14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 3:15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 3:16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. The word "possessed" [by demons] is probably not so appropriate when applied to christians. The Greek word actually means "to be demonised", that is to be in some way or another under the influence or attack or control of the enemy (Derek Prince's - "Nature of Demons"). B) Yes, some have attributed these new forms of behavior to "demonic possessions". It is pressed that evidence of the Holy Spirit in believers appear otherwise than that evident at Toronto, and Toronto has been widely slated, even from within Charismatic circles, as a place where 'demonic activity' comes to the fore. Emotional and heated comments have flown over both sides of the fence. Some within the Charismatic circle have made a point of characterizing Toronto as "temporary demonic phenomena", citing strained comparisons with such pretenders as "Legion" (Mark 5:1-15).
The Bible tells us what the evidence of the Holy Spirit is firstly the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control). (Also see James 3:17). At Toronto is held that the Fruit of the Spirit, and the gentle love of the Father (the "Father Heart of God") precedes any experience. Sterling character and perfect integrity must outperform mere phenomena in every individual. Hence character is prioritized. (Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long don't have any integrity - see the make up of their board! And Pastor Steve Long is a proven liar and coward The Liar ) Upon this platform of "character first", Holy Spirit is then welcomed to touch people and effect healing or power. When He does so, we often only see outward expressions of what happens inside desperately hurting people. As the Holy Spirit touches and heals deep pain, people cry or laugh. It is held that when people 'get up from the floor', their hearts have been touched with healing, and significant counseling having been effected, supported or catalyzed sovereignly. Outward manifestations of the Holy Spirit's work may also take other forms than healing. Although "Toronto" as a moniker has gained wide currency in Christian circles, its actual leaders are less well known. TACF pastors John G. Arnott and Carol S. Arnott were initially inspired by the revival in Argentina. As a result of their spiritual hunger for revival in Canada, they invited Randy Clark of St. Louis, Missouri to minister at TACF in January of 1994. Randy Clark had been greatly impacted by the ministry of Rodney Howard-Browne, a South African preacher, founder of the Rodney Howard-Browne Evangelistic Association in Louisville, Kentucky, author of The Touch of God, and the earliest known proponent of the holy laughter revival phenomenon in modern times. The Blessing has proved immensely popular and in recent years, many tens of thousands of international Christian leaders have come to the TACF to experience it for themselves. The experience is usually deeply affecting and people are often said to leave the services with a renewed zeal for their faith and an overwhelming desire to spread the message. Some visiting pastors have been so affected by the experience that they have taken the message back to their own flocks, sometimes radically transforming the way that services are conducted in their own churches. Areas that have become known for Toronto Blessing revivals worldwide include Pensacola, Florida and Bath, England. The practice is hotly debated on the Internet and in Christian journals and programs with the doubters expressing fear that "Satan has been given free reign to run unchecked through formerly Christian communities". The fact that it can seemingly overtake a whole congregation when the "fit" is on them, spreading almost "virally" from one person to the next adds urgency to their fears. Some leaders even liken the coming of the Toronto Blessing to a "spiritual war", with the Devil gaining ever greater numbers of deceived swooning soldiers by the day. This perception differs from the actual character of most Toronto-esque services, which are characterized by worship (in which the gentle "Father Heart of God" and the healing effect of this insight is prioritized over any "hysteria"), Biblical preaching, and ministry to individuals (where an accountable and caring team prays for people around the themes of encouragement, strengthening and comfort).
This is characterized as a revival or renewal of Gods true hope, where the Holy Spirit's manifest presence is tangible and highly valued. In this many see a renewal of the actual nature of "church", a return to core principles. Neutral observers point out that this type of phenomenon is not at all new. Nor is the resistance to the movement by the average churchgoer who may be unfamiliar with religious experience per se. The perennial resistance to these experiences by conventional organized religion was summarized by Carl Jung in his observation that (organized) "Religion is a (psychological) defense against the religious experience". The peak of Toronto Blessing prominence in the Christian community occurred in the mid to late 1990s. Since that time it has faded somewhat from public view, although the proponents of Discernment Ministries would suggest that these kinds of events are simply part of a wider theological cycle that has existed continually throughout modern era Pentecostalism / Charismatism. Studies at the University of Virginia have pointed out that "the beliefs of... the Toronto Blessing are aligned exactly with those of the Latter Rain revival", [1] which indicates that the phenomenon is not unique, but part of an ongoing and cyclical pattern. In more recent times, the Golden Sword Prophecy from TACF has been spreading amongst Charismatic churches. http://www.cephas-library.com/toronto_blessing_has_no_sterling_character.html
Chapter 6
TACF Elitism Many have a problem with the elitism that the Toronto Blessing seems to bring with it. Those who do not embrace this movement are not only made to feel like Second Class Christians but are shown no tolerance for questioning it. We see this reality in the fact that the church had presently filed a $50 million dollar suit against Walter Kambulow, a private individual to purposely silence him from revealing to the public what his years of investigation of family run and owned ministries like TACF are all about! Media Exposure YES THE PENTECOSTAL LIARS AND DECEIVERS OF THE CHURCH OF THE FLESH ARE NOW BEING CHECKED OUT BY THE MEDIA IN CANADA AND ELSEWHERE MT 10:26 "Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
Torontos Pentecostal Pastor preaches virtue of wealth, property

Prayer Palace junior minister doesn't mention Star expos of lavish lifestyles David Bruser Andrew Chung STAFF REPORTERS (TORONTO STAR) Head pastor Paul Melnichuk and his twin sons, junior pastors Tom and Tim Melnichuk, each own multi-million dollar estates north of the city, they share a waterfront vacation villa in Florida and drive luxurious cars, including Porsches, a Lexus, a Mercedes-Benz and BMWs. The pastors have refused repeated requests for comment. Reporters were told that written questions submitted to the pastors via the church regarding their properties and other possessions were "not related to charities." Prayer Palace and the Melnichuks were the subject of a recent Sunday Star investigation that found the church's three pastors living in multi-million-dollar mansions and enjoying a lavish Florida hideaway while encouraging the largely poor congregation to tithe a percentage of their income. At the same time, the Star investigation found, the church reportedly took in some $3 million from its members in 2005, while doling out a minuscule $9,443 to "benevolent and charity" activities. The church's financial documents raise numerous questions. Total salaries for the pastors and other staff (it's unclear how many are paid) was listed on Prayer Palace documents as more than $1 million in 2005, the last year reported, up from about $750,000 two years earlier. The most recent documents show one salary of more than $119,000 likely that of Pastor Paul and three salaries between $80,000 and $119,000. In addition, Prayer Palace financial statements show "housing allowances" of more than $125,000, but the documents don't specify the recipients. The documents also show annual vehicle and travel expenses have doubled in the past two years, jumping to more than $175,000. The original cost of the vehicles in the Prayer Palace fleet is over $500,000. Documents obtained by the Star show the red Mercedes convertible is registered to the Canadian church but kept at the pastor's Florida villa. The Star found the pastors and their wives also drive, besides the Lexus and Porsche SUVs, an
Audi A6S sedan, BMW 7 Series and 3 Series sedans, a Lincoln LS and Towncar, and a red, oversized Dodge pickup. The Lexus is also kept in Florida. http://www.thestar.com/printArticle/187986 Dear Toronto Star, I have enjoyed your recent expose on the Torontos Pentecostal Prayer Palace but suggest that you look into Pastor John Arnott Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship/Toronto Airport Church of the Flesh and David Mainse 100 Huntley street and you will find out that these Pentecostal Pastors and Preachers including Benny Hinn, Karl Strader, John Arnott, (Peter Marshall) and Rodney Howard Browne have no integrity even though their bible states: We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. 2 Corinthians 6:3 avoiding this: that anyone should blame us in this lavish gift which is administered by us- providing honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. 2 Corinthians 8:20-21 Please check out http://torontoblessing.tripod.com/ and http://betrayaltoday.tripod.com/betrayal.htm and you will see how deep the corruption is of these wolves in sheeps clothing who support one another and rob, rape and use the sheep. I wrote to one of their supporters Russ Reese and stated, We have established the fact that Pentecostal Pastors and Preachers Benny Hinn, Karl Strader, John Arnott, (Peter Marshall) and Rodney Howard Browne have no integrity by establishing their indirectly personally owned nonprofit corporation in such as way that they are presidents of their entity for life and having total control in it and over it by loading the board with family members and/or salaried staff. And of course they personally profit from all of this! All of this is unethical to say the least and then they try to deceive us that they are men of integrity or men of God? Hogwash! You have stated that you dont believe anything that is out there on the web and I am right to assume that you believe that all newspapers are liars or untruthful? Its a convenient way for Russ of ignoring the truth and facts about wolves in sheeps clothing including the leadership of the Pentecostal Revival in Brownsville who also have no integrity just like the rest of the liars, rapists and thieves and about whom much has been written and reported by newspaper and others including on the web http://www.rickross.com/groups/brownsville.html Yes, just like other corrupt and perverted Pentecostals Pastors in America the leadership of the Brownsville revival became money changers by setting up personal non-profit corporations by which they could personally profit from the revival while pretending they were men of integrity and the Pensacola News Journal did an excellent job in reporting this fact! The Pensacola News Journal reported on November 16, 1997 that Top ministers cash in with
own products. The Brownsville Revival has generated a multi-million dollar retail industry, conducted within the walls of the church. Inside the church's double front doors, tapes, T-shirts and similar revival-generated products are offered for sale all during the day and until about an hour after the revival is under way at night. The crowds that stand in line throughout the day to get good seats for the night-time revival are a steady source of customers. Even as the revival service is under way, people leave the pews to browse and buy. At times, the customers are so densely packed that people have to suck in their stomachs and step sideways to pass one another in the merchandise-laden corridor and lobby. The products are sold not only by the church but also by individual corporations created by the revival leaders. Most profit figures are unclear. Its very sad that prominent Pentecostal Revivalists in America such as Steve Hill, John Kilpatrick and even Jimmy Swaggart have no integrity whatsoever! CNN aired on Sunday November 2, 1997 a documentary about former Assembly of God Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart whose ministry net worth is one hundred million dollars and is run by the Swaggart family. Financial statements alone of the Jimmy Swaggart Evangelistic Association do not reveal the fact that Jimmy Swaggart, his wife and his son, earn over six hundred thousand dollars in annual salaries and drive a fleet of six Mercedes Benz. Jimmy Swaggart lied on camera when questioned by CNN about his salary. He stated he was not really drawing a salary although IRS records showed otherwise. Yes, it is a very sad state when prominent TV Evangelists such as Jimmy Swaggart who can shout, dance and preach better than the rest of them lie about their salaries and hide them. In addition the financial statements of JSEA do not reveal that Jimmy Swaggart Ministry loaned Jimmy 4.2 million dollars to build his fancy estate. How many times have believers been subjected to mishandled scripture with an implicit or explicit "touch not God's anointed" if any dared to question? This is in contrast to the Biblical admonition to "try the spirits", (1 John 4:1). Fear is not of God and teaching which incorporates psychological intimidation is corrupt and deceptive. One of the easiest ways to determine what "spirit" motivates a person "in authority" is to question them. A godly man or woman will never be offended or become indignant if someone dares to question them and compare what is said with the Word of God. However, if one is motivated by an "authoritarian" spirit of conceit or arrogance, the questioner will soon know it. Peter warned the elders (pastors and spiritual guides of the church) not to be domineering [arrogant, dictatorial, overbearing] over the flock of God, but to be patterns and models of Christian living (I Pet. 5:3, AMPL.) Many prominent pastors and evangelists today make the claim that because "souls" are being saved and "healings" take place in their meetings, that this somehow validates their ministry. While these things may be well and good, they are no indication of "divine" sanction. A.A. Allen was a drunkard, Jimmy Swaggart a whoremonger, Jim Bakker a thief, Larry Lea a prevaricator, and Robert Tilton a charlatan - yet ALL of these saw thousands saved and miracles take place in their meetings. Because one is blessed with "prosperity" and has a "following" of thousands, doesn't mean a darn thing when it comes to integrity and godly sanction, for "he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust," (Matt. 5:45). Twenty-six years ago I experienced the greatest miracle of my life - salvation and the baptism of
the Holy Spirit. This experience came in a Pentecostal "holiness" church where, unbeknown to me at the time, the pastor was committing adultery, one of the deacons (or "pillars" of the church as they were called) visited a prostitute on a regular basis, another deacon kept a large supply of porno magazines in his home, and still another was a philanderer. This taught me that just because God moves in a particular setting, it is no indication that those who bear the message are "godly."(TOUCH NOT MINE ANOINTED? By John R. Anderson - January 1997) http://www.gospelassemblyfree.com/facts/anointed.htm And Billy Graham at 88 is no different from the rest of thieving preachers. Why is Billy Graham drawing a 100% compensation in the range of $500,000 from Billy Graham Evangelistic Association when he is sick most of the time and in a wheel chair? See http://cnt10.tripod.com/graham.htm The measure of a man is not how much power, wealth and fame that he has but how he handles these things. Unfortunately power corrupts. The media, Independent (England), June 15, 2003, reported that Jim Bakker's back: The life of Jim Bakker, the world's most famous fallen tele-evangelist, has always been about numbers, and we are not just talking hymns and psalms. There was the $1.9m salary he paid himself in 1986, the last full year that he led the Praise The Lord (PTL) Ministry that he founded in 1972 with his thickly mascara'd wife, Tammy Faye. At the time, he owned six luxury mansions, 47 bank accounts and a single Rolls-Royce. He was accustomed to raising $1m from his TVgoggling disciples across America every two days. Then came 1989, when he was charged, and convicted, on 24 counts of fraud and conspiracy for stealing $3.7m from his flock to fund his fabulous lifestyle. We could go on in this vein forever. It was never exactly clear how many sexual partners (allegedly both women and men) he enjoyed in those crazy days before his reckoning with the law and crushing humiliation. We do know he paid $265,000 in cash to buy the silence of a church secretary he had been involved with in 1980. The opulence of the Bakkers' lifestyle at the height of their reign could not be measured in simple figures, however. They enjoyed the American Dream, but a garishly inflated version of it. They had an air-conditioned dog kennel and gold-plated bathrooms. Theirs was the kind of money that bought everything except good taste. Tammy Faye, who used glove puppets to help explain the Word of the Lord on air, is still seen today as the gold standard for eye shadow run amok. There is even a documentary film about her simply called The Eyes of Tammy Faye Bakker. Jim had a monkey face. His apple-shiny cheeks contrived to look at once bloated and stretched. The Bakkers flaunted their wealth and used it to raise more and more of it. They offered a model of extravagant living that viewers drank in, presumably not in a spirit of post-modern irony. At its peak, the PTL broadcasts touched 13.5 million American households every day. The Bakkers are still being pursued for $3m (1.9m) in unpaid income tax. Bakker was defrocked by his denomination, the Assemblies of God, for "conduct unbecoming of a minister", and all of America, and his fellow television evangelists, turned against him. Jerry
Falwell publicly declared Bakker a sexual deviant, an embezzler and a liar. After taking over the PTL Club, as it was known, and taking it into bankruptcy, Falwell called its founder "the greatest scab and cancer on the face of Christianity in two thousand years of church history". Few at the time disagreed. While Apostle Paul wrote to Jim Bakker and his pastoral friends and said We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. (2 Corinthians 6:3) Avoiding this: that anyone should blame us in this lavish gift which is administered by us. (2 Corinthians 8:20) Where is the justice or integrity in all of this? Yes, where is the justice or integrity in all of this? Christian Religionists, Evangelicals, Baptists, Charismatics and Pentecostals, all teach, that as stewards of God, everything we have belongs to Him and it is very important that we provide: Honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. (2 Corinthians 8:21) Yet, very few churches and religious organizations, who although they state they believe the bible and the importance to provide honorable things, most of them dont belong to an organization that practices financial responsibility and open accountability. Also, they keep the salary of the senior pastor of the Church or the senior evangelist, a secret. Why? I cant answer that, but I do know it does give offense, in the secular and religious world. If you are honorable there is no reason not to reveal your income if it is within acceptable norms. The salaries of other public servants, including the President of United States and the first Lady, are known. In an intelligent society such as ours, any church or organization that is not openly accountable, shouldnt be soliciting money from its members or adherents, who are the public at large. Somehow, all churches and church corporations should be warned and told they must be accountable, and be open and do all things above board where possible. Many pastors and evangelists in America live and behave like kings of their own kingdoms, rather than like servants of the living God, as they should be. Humility and submission are words they must reintroduce into their own vocabulary and lives before they teach others. Contrary to many pastors and evangelists point of view, we as Christians dont exist primarily to serve them or to give them money but to serve the King of kings and Lord or lords. In our Heavenly Fathers eyes, we are all equally important. He has no favorites and is definitely not a respecter of persons and shows partiality to no one-although, some pastors and evangelists would like us to believe otherwise.

Subject: Anybody with brains knows that a true Christian church cannot sue people especially if it is a nonprofit organization? Jesus told them to bless people not sue them? Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Members of Parliament and the News media, Anybody with brains knows that a true Christian church cannot sue people? Anybody with brains knows that a proven liars and slanderers even if they are pastors cannot sue somebody else for slander? So why is Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship a Christian Church and nonprofit organization along with its founder Pastor John Arnott and Senior Pastor Steve Long suing Walter Kambulow, Engineer, for $ 50 million dollar and has requested the court to put him in jail because he refuses to be gagged by them? Also why is TACF and its pastors appealing Justice Clarkes decision of January 15, 2008 to allow Walter Kambulow to counter sue them for $ 100 million? Justice Clark also ordered TACF to submit a Statement of Defence to Walter Kambulow by January 30,2008! So how come these liars, thieves, scoundrels are showing double standards and dont care about the law or justice or truth except to get their own way at all costs! Is it because they are not a true Christian church and have no integrity? It seems that way Yes its not a very Christian thing for Pentecostal Evangelical pastors to do who are supposed to be honest, loving, caring, truthful men of integrity without any deceit or hatefulness to try to derive Walter Kambulow from suing them and having his date in court for their proven lies and slander and backstabbing? How come Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship cannot play fair and has to use every trick in the book to stop Walter Kambulow? But what do you want from wolves in sheeps clothing: So again for the good of all Canadians checkout, investigate and deal with all Pentecostal Family Owned and Run Ministries in Canada including Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, the Prayer Palace in Toronto, Victory International Church in Hamilton, and 100 Huntley Street in Burlington, just like United States Senator Mr. Grassley is doing and as a result news media coverage of the letters to the six ministries, his office has been flooded with calls about them and other church organizations, too, the aides said. In other words the New York Times told us there is a serious problem with lack of transparency and accountability with Ministries in America! Thank You! Walter Kambulow Burlington Ontario

I trust that you and your colleagues especially the Honourable Rob Nicholson, P.C., Q.C., M.P. for Niagara Falls, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, are becoming aware of these ravenous wolves and are doing something about it?
Wolves in sheeps clothing are not a laughing matter especially when they use their Government given nonprofit corporation to try to destroy and imprison their critics such as Pastor John Arnott of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship is trying to do with Walter Kambulow. Yes the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada must look into TACF and what it is saying and doing! Jesus Christ also instructed His disciples to bless, not destroy, their persecutors. And Apostle Paul wrote to all Christians and stated: Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 12:16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 12:17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 12:18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 12:19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. 12:20 Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. So what kind of Church is Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship that doesnt bless its persecutors but rather repays their enemies with evil suing Walter Kambulow for $50 million dollars? What kind of Church is TACF which thinks that its leaders are men of God who are accountable only to God and not one else and lack transparency and accountability? Yes there is something wrong here and not with Walter Kambulow! Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said he was investigating the finances of Benny Hinn and five other TV evangelists. Grassley is asking about Hinn's multimillion-dollar home in Dana Point, Calif., his private Gulfstream jet and his "layover trips" while traveling on ministry business. But not only birds of feather stick together Benny Hinn is the friend and mentor of Pastor John Arnott who also travels on ministry business and lives in an expensive home! The Attorney General of Canada must also investigate the finances of John Arnott and Steve Long! Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship claims to be a Christian Church but its structure, ownership, doctrines, actions and deeds are total anti-Christian and shows its not a church. Jesus Christ, the author and founder of the Christian faith who called the religious leaders of his days hypocrites, murderers, serpents, brood of vipers, liars, blind guides, sons of hell, etc. and told them they would not escape the condemnation of hell (Matthew 23:15, 33, Luke 11:24-25, 23:38-31), told us "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. "You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? "Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Matthew 7:15-18 And yes Pentecostal Family owned and run Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship is not a true church of Jesus Christ but a profit corporation headed by money changers, wolves in sheeps
clothing, liars, slanderers, and back stabbers whose action, words and deeds, contrary to the teachings and principles of Jesus, prove it to everybody! In other words its a bad tree that bears bad fruit and needs to be cut down because: A true church of Jesus Christ is transparent and accountable while a profit corporation is not! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt sue people but blesses them while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ isnt primarily concerned with money while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt destroy people or tells lies about them while le a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt ask a judge to put a person in jail because he tells the truth about them while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt do things in secret away from the eyes of the public while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt take away the rights or freedoms of any Canadian guaranteed by the Charter of Rights while a profit corporation can and does! Rights such as a) freedom of conscience and religion; b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and d) freedom of association. A true church of Jesus Christ is not run by pastors who are proven liars, slanderers and backstabbers while a profit corporation can be! Its pastors tell lies such as: Walter is as bad as they come He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of. The way that he slanders his wife in public is horendous. and if he had been a part of our church, which he wasn't; I wold be all over for him for slander. ; He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to himHe was a former member of TACF He is divorced TACFs solicitors frown at passages of the bible being quoted in the lawsuit and before the court and instead they quote secular law cases about unions, nurses, etc. all of which cannot and do not apply in this case because in Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship by its own confession and website states that its vision statement is "To walk in Gods love and then give it away to Toronto and the world" and its mission statement is To impact Toronto and the world by welcoming and responding to God's presence, communicating effectively and developing world class leaders.
Yes Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship says its a Christian Church and not a secular institution in any sense of the word? So it cannot be examined by the what other secular people say and do! The only way to measure and examine TACF is by the bible and especially the New Testament and the Words of Jesus and Apostle Paul and John who stated: Matthew 5:21 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.' 5:22 "But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire. 5:23 "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 5:24 "leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 5:25 "Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 5:26 "Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny. MK 10:19 "You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not bear false witness,' 'Do not defraud,' 'Honor your father and your mother.' " JN 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. Romans 13:7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. 13:8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 13:9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 13:10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. 1COR 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 13:4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 13:5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 13:6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 13:8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 13:9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 13:10 But when that which is perfect has
come, then that which is in part will be done away. 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 13:12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13:13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. PHIL 2:4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. 1JN 3:14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. 3:15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 3:16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.. A simple perusal of TACFs Lawsuit against Walter Kambulow and its actions and words and deeds to date shows that TACF has not only denied the words of Jesus, Paul and John but it has no love towards others including a stranger Walter Kambulow but are murderers and hateful people who are trying to harm Mr. Kambulow instead of doing any good for him. Yes TACF and its pastors John Arnott and Steve Long are very hypocritical in that they are angry with a brother without a cause and have not only judged him but slandered and defamed him and said awful things about him. They have not heeded the words of Jesus about wrong to their Christian brother "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, "leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. "Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. They have born false witness and have not honored Walter Kambulow nor spoke the truth about him. They have ignored the words of Apostle Paul who told them Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Their lawsuit is a complete rejection of Apostles Pauls admonition to them Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? And Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but
the greatest of these is love. And contrary to Pauls words Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others TACF and its Pastors have not been like the Good Samaritan that Jesus talked about who spent his own money to help the poor man who was robbed and beaten and left at wayside to die but have uses the money given to them in trust by the dumb sheep to try and destroy a private individual and his family with a $50 million dollar lawsuit and mean and evil motion that requested that Walter Kambulow be put in jail. Where is the love in all of this never mind their so called good deeds of Christianity in action? TACF and its Pastors have shown themselves to be non-Christians and not Christians in any sense of the word unless murder, raping, killing, lying, slandering, stealing are what professing Christians are supposed to do? Since when is it permissible in our society to have a so called Christian church continually stonewall somebody or sue him or her for $ 50 million dollars? It is not permissible! TACF and its Pastors have not laid down their life for Walter Kambulow and have ignored what Apostle John told them - We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.. TACF has demonstrated that it has no love and is hateful, selfish, greedy, arrogant, proud and self centered and doesnt deserve to exist or to be considered as a Christian Church never mind a religious nonprofit corporation. As a result its Article of Incorporation must be removed by the Federal Government. So again for the good of all Canadians checkout, investigate and deal with all Pentecostal Family Owned and Run Ministries in Canada including Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, the Prayer Palace in Toronto, Victory International Church in Hamilton, and 100 Huntley Street in Burlington, just like United States Senator Mr. Grassley is doing and as a result news media coverage of the letters to the six ministries, his office has been flooded with calls about them and other church organizations, too, the aides said. In other words the New York Times told us there is a serious problem with lack of transparency and accountability with Ministries in America! Thank You!

Thieves were to be blessed and rewarded, not judged for this is what Jesus would want them to do! IS THIS TRUE AND WHAT TACF TEACHES AND PRACTICES? IS TACF is a typical North American Prominent Pentecostal family run and owned ministry/church, a money making business, a cash cow for its elite benevolent rulers, its board of directors are composed of family members and staff who rubber stamp the wishes of the founder and should be thoroughly investigated by the governments and news media just like its friends are being investigated, including Benny Hinn and Richard Roberts who are not men of integrity!

The Bakkers had appointed a rubber-stamp board of directors to oversee their management practices. In return for acquiescing to Jim and Tammy's whims, several of these board members received tens of thousands of dollars in fees, bonuses, and contributions to their own projects. In 1986 the Bakkers were paid $1.9 million; since 1984, a total of $4.8 million had been paid to them. In addition, PTL monies were used for expensive homes, a palatial suite at the Heritage Grand Hotel, automobiles, lavish wardrobes, vacations, and parties.
The Bakkers' closest associates were privy to their high living at the expense of PTL partners. They, too, were well paid. Reverend Richard Dortch, the Assemblies of God minister who many thought had brought some order and organization to the rapidly growing Heritage USA operations, was paid $240,000 in 1985 and $350,000 in 1986. He received approximately $270,000 during the first three months of 1987 before Falwell sacked him. David Taggart, a twenty-nine-year-old "personal aide" to Bakker, received $360,000 in 1986; Jim Bakker's personal secretary received $160,000. And then there were "consultants." James Taggart, interior decorator and David Taggart's brother, was paid $10,000 a month, but, according to the new PTL management, he had performed no services "for months."' Peter B. Teeley, press secretary to George Bush until 1984, was paid $120,000 for eighteen months to serve as a Washington "liaison"; apparently there were no written records of any services performed. [viii]

TACF and ECFA GOOD CHARITIES WILLINGLY ANSWER TOUGH QUESTIONS. January 17, 2008 TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA Prime Minister Stephen Harper Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa K1A 0A2 pm@pm.gc.ca God told me to resign - Richard Roberts Its upsetting to be conned by Televangelist like Oral and Richard Roberts John Hutton 2 Corinthians 8:21 (NIV): For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men. Subject: Why cannot Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF), a family owned and run Pentecostal nonprofit corporation, join the Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability (ECFA)? Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Members of Parliament and the News media, Why cannot Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF) a family owned and run Pentecostal nonprofit corporation join the Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability (ECFA)? Because Toronto Airport Church of the Flesh cannot answer tough questions that ECFA says should be asked of any charity including: GOOD CHARITIES WILLINGLY ANSWER TOUGH QUESTIONS. Before you give to any charity, ask these questions. Worthy nonprofit organizations recognize they are recipients of the public trust, and are willing and prepared to supply the answers. * Does the organization have a clear and strong commitment to a certain mission objective? * Is there an independent board that oversees the organization's operations and accepts responsibility for its activities? (Family members, friends and staff are not allowed to be on an independent board) * Are the organization's financial records audited annually by independent certified public accountants? * Does the organization practice financial disclosure?
* Can anyone receive a copy of the organization's most recent audited financial statements upon written request? * Can donors obtain financial and other information about any program they have supported? * How does the organization avoid conflicts of interest? * What are the guidelines and standards for fund-raising? * Is there a review procedure to assure compliance with fund-raising standards and guidelines? As a service to our members and friends, ECFA provides compensation survey information for the top positions for churches and other nonprofit organizations. These positions include: The top position in the organization (senior pastor, president, CEO, executive director, etc) The chief operating officer or similar positions The chief financial officer or similar positions The chief development officer or similar positions But does ECFA itself have any integrity? ECFA on its website http://www.ecfa.org states The ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability ) was founded in 1979. It is comprised of over 2,000 charitable, religious, missionary, social, and educational tax-exempt, nonprofit 501(c)(3)organizations. In the 1970s, there was growing public and political concern over an increase of questionable fund-raising practices in the nonprofit sector. In addition, donors and governmental agencies expressed concern over the management of their donations to achieve publicly stated objectives as presented in fund-raising appeals. Donors had no source for an objective assessment of the financial integrity of Christian organizations desiring their support. In the late 1970s, Senator Mark Hatfield addressed a group of key Christian leaders and challenged them to police their own mission agencies as a "Christian Better Business Bureau" or face the potential of government intervention. Consequently, ECFA was formed, standards were established, and a chartering process was initiated for applicant ministries. ECFA is committed to helping Christ-centered organizations earn the publics trust through developing and maintaining standards of accountability that convey God-honoring ethical practices. ECFA assists its member organizations in making appropriate public disclosure of their financial practices and accomplishments, thus materially enhancing their credibility and support potential among present and prospective donors. The application asks for salary information. Should we answer this question using salary information from the recent fiscal year or current salaries?
Please submit salary information for your organization's five highest paid employees. List the CEO even if he or she is not among the top five. Answer this question based on current employees and current level of salaries. Former employees should not be included on the list, even if they were paid for a portion of the year. All figures should be annualized amounts, even if the individual has not been employed for the entire year. While Christian News Today on its website http://cnt10d.tripod.com/ecfa.htm states: Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability is an honorable organization? There are some people who have this opinion that Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability is an honorable organization. But it is a fact that the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability doesnt exist for the donors but for the Evangelical ministries to give them a so called legitimate umbrella. That is why ECFA never discloses the total compensation (not just the salary) of any Evangelical ministry leader and members of his family to the donors which is a true test of why they are in the ministry! The Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability came into being due to the threats of Congressman Charles Wilson of Texas who had introduced a bill that would have required disclosure "at the point of solicitation unless the Fundamental Evangelical Evangelists would clean up their own house and police themselves. For Southern Baptist Evangelist Billy Graham was embarrassed in 1977 when the Charlotte Observer discovered an undisclosed $23-million fund in Texas, apparently not mentioned in the accountings of the Minneapolis headquarters of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. As a result Graham's business manager led the formation of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability after Graham said on a national telecast, ". . . there are some charlatans coming along and the public ought to be informed about them and warned against them, " "stated K. Hadden and Charles E. Swann in their book Prime Time Preachers. Jeffrey K. Hadden and Charles E. Swann in their book Prime Time Preachers: The Rising Power of Televangelism (1) stated: In 1977 Senator Mark Hatfield informed a group of evangelical leaders that if they did not assume responsibility for regulating themselves there was every likelihood that legislation would be required. In fact, Congressman Charles Wilson of Texas had already introduced a bill that would have required disclosure "at the point of solicitation."
In December 1977 representatives of thirty-two evangelical groups met in Chicago to discuss cooperative efforts. Thomas Getman, chief legislative assistant to Senator Hatfield, told the group, "Legislation is not important; disclosure is." Getman encouraged "a voluntary disclosure program . . . that will preclude the necessity of federal intervention into the philanthropic and religious sector." Almost two years later Dr. Stanley Mooneyham, president of World Vision, acknowledged, "There is no denying that this threat of governmental action was one of the stimuli'' that produced the December meeting and the subsequent activities which led to the founding of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. Also do your homework on Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability which Billy Graham founded. It is a fact that Fundamental Evangelical leaders in America, even those who belong to ECFA, never show their total compensation to their donors. They are not stupid. If they disclose anything is just your basic salary but not their personal income tax? So to whom is the Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability accountable to? To themselves? Definitely not to their donors or the public as seen by their own words! For the ECFA has as its Mission Statement that it is committed to helping Christ-centered organizations earn the public's trust through developing and maintaining standards of accountability that convey God-honoring ethical practices. Also its donor bill of rights states that its responsibility to make sure your charity's standards and guidelines assure you of a "bill of rights" as a donor. You have the right to: 1. Know how the funds of an organization are being spent. 2. Know what the programs you support are accomplishing. 3. Know that the organization is in compliance with federal, state, and municipal laws. 4. Restrict or designate your gifts to a particular project. 5. A response to your inquiries about finances and programs. 6. Visit offices and program sites of an organization to talk personally with the staff. Nothing in the donor's "bill of rights" talks about checking into illegal or unusual expenses or compensations or gifts to the founders or its leaders? But ECFA states that it wants to earn the public's trust through developing and maintaining
standards of accountability that convey God-honoring ethical practices. But ECFA states that it wants to earn the public's trust through developing and maintaining standards of accountability that convey God-honoring ethical practices. A simple examination of ECFA seven standards of responsible stewardship shows that it gives nothing to the donor or the public to ensure that there is no hankypanky other than their word. Unfortunately as shown by the Baptist Foundation of Arizona bankruptcy the word of Southern Baptists doesn't mean much! An excellent way to determine responsible stewardship of any ministry that belongs to ECFA is to see the personal income tax of the chairmen of each of the nonprofit organizations who belong to ECFA. One can easily see if an individual is profiting from their own indirectly owned nonprofit religious organization? Why is it important to know the total compensation of religious leaders and their families? The downfall of Evangelist Rex Humbard says why. From its modest $65 beginning, the Rex Humbard Ministry was now worth millions. And was all paid for by private contributions. Still, like those of many of his fellow television colleagues, Rex's ministry appeared ever on the brink of bankruptcy. On his April 13, 1980, broadcast he made an impassioned plea for immediate cash contributions needed to stave off disaster. The program was $2.5 million behind in its obligations, and Humbard was running an average of four months behind in payments to stations for TV time. Humbard's appeals brought in $4 million and wiped out the debt. About the same time, a Cleveland Press writer discovered that Rex and two of his sons, who work with him on the television ministry, had purchased a home and condominiums in Florida valued at $650,000 with down payments of $177,500 in cash. A lot of people have long believed that preachers, especially the evangelical variety, have their hands in the offering plate. In light of this belief, the timing of Humbard's corporate debt and personal investment certainly didn't make him look very good. And he didn't help his own cause any when he told the prying Press reporter, "My people don't give a hoot what I spend that money for But people do give a hoot how much money their favorite minister steals and that is why ministers especially prominent ones hide their salaries. As a result of Rex Humbard's thievery his ministry folded because people and even God does not like crooks in the House of God. If you check out the latest form 990 - 2002 for Billy Graham Evangelist Organization available from Guide Star http://www.guidestar.org/search/ you will see that Billy Graham is just as much of a crook as ever. At 88 years of age
he is still receiving a hundred percent salary of $ 189, 385 and $ 233,979 for other allowances and is working less than ten percent of the time! The same with Clifford B. Barrows who is receiving $ 164,442. They both should have been put out to pasture a long time ago and should have stopped taken a salary that they have not earned! And yes Billy used his organization to support financially his children including $ 600,000 to Franklin Graham, $ 210,000 to Ned Graham and $ 300,000 to Ann. Ned Graham who was originally slated to take over Billy Graham Evangelist Organization instead of Franklin received less money because he is the black sheep of the family. What gave Billy Graham the right to take money donated to preach the gospel to give to the support of his family especially Ned Graham? Nothing! In my opinion Billy Graham has raised up two sons Ned and Franklin who are as deceitful as their father. Ned Graham, the son of Billy Graham, Southern Baptist minister, president East Gates International, a group that distributes Bibles in China told Christianity Today in an interview that he had abused alcohol and spent an "inappropriate amount of time" with two women on his staff. Grace Community Church, Southern Baptist Convention, in Auburn, Washington-which counted Ned Graham, his wife, and their two sons as members established the fact that Ned Graham was an adulterer, alcoholic, wife abuser, and drug user and revoked Graham's ministerial credentials. It directed Graham to stop using the title reverend. Yet in a style reminiscent of Jimmy Swaggart, who refused to be defrocked by the Assembly of God denomination, Ned Graham left that congregation for another church. Most of the staff and board members of East Gates International resigned amid controversies. East Gates, in Sumner, Wash., withdrew its membership in the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability after Ned replaced the board members with his sister Ruth Graham McIntyre, brother-in-law Stephan Tchividjian, and business leader Peter Lowe. Graham's sister Gigi Tchividjian has joined the office staff and Ned Graham continues as East Gates president. The ECFA the self-policing organization Billy Graham helped start requires that a majority of board members not be related by blood or marriage, which is no longer the case for East Gates. Nepotism is alive and well in Evangelical ministries? A December East Gates fund-raising letter included a note from his father saying that "Ruth and I are proud of and grateful to God for our son Ned." East Gates has distributed 2 million Bibles to Christians in China, Billy Graham said, encouraging Christians to "back this unique and effective ministry."
It is interesting to see the most famous "evangelist" (some say) not being able to educate his children, especially Ned. At the same time, having a bunch of socalled Christians following the leadership of such wreckless person. Franklin Graham wears jeans, boots, denim shirt, and leather jacket. He was a teen rebel who drank, smoked, fought, and led police on high-speed chases. He was kicked out of LeTourneau College. He used to be a rebel and a 'bum' got religion and become more sophisticated and formed "the Samaritan's Purse' so that he can fly around the country and charge things to his non-profit corporation. As a result his ministry, Samaritan's Purse, had a run-in with the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. The ECFA suspended Samaritan's Purse while it looked into Franklin's (Graham) compensation and use of the company plane. Although Billy Graham encourages religious leaders to be open about their salaries and publish their finances none of the Grahams reveal their total compensation nor release their personal income tax as President Bush does and former President Clinton has done. It's the law of the land that all nonprofit chairman of corporations must reveal their total compensation and that Billy, Ned and Franklin do not to their donors speak volumes of their hypocrisy? Yes, Jesus told us to beware of hypocrites like Dr. Billy Graham and ECFA and others. Recently U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R Iowa, is looking into complaints from the public and news coverage regarding generous salaries and housing allowances and amenities such as private jets and Rolls Royces allegedly allowed at six media-based ministries. Leaders of half of those Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar and Benny Hinn serve or served as Oral Roberts University regents. Grassley said he did not know if any specific problems exist, but his letters to the six came as ORU became embroiled in a controversy over questions about the use of university resources involving then-President Richard Roberts and wife, Lindsay. The embattled Roberts who is a good friend of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowships John Arnott resigned. Grassley asked the six to respond to his laundry list of questions by Thursday. According to information provided by Grassleys office, only the Copeland and Meyer organizations had responded. Eagle Mountain International Church (KCM) greatly respects Sen. Grassleys interest in, and commitment to, taxexempt religious organizations, John
Copeland said in his written statement announcing that his organization had submitted its response Thursday. KCM undergoes an annual financial audit by an independent certified public accounting firm. A compensation committee determines the compensation for each officer of the ministry, including members of the Copeland family, based on data compiled by an independent consulting firm. We comply with all applicable legal obligations, including all applicable federal income tax laws. Copeland went on to say our church prides itself on financial accountability, citing policies and procedures designed to ensure financial integrity. At the same time, we have also instituted procedures to ensure the privacy of our donors, employees, directors and ministers, he said. Copeland added that no further comments would be made at this time. But what is wrong with John Copeland statement to Sen. Grassley on taxexempt religious organizations? (See http://cnt10c.tripod.com/ministry.htm) KCM undergoes an annual financial audit by an independent certified public accounting firm. No financial audit determines if expenses charged are legal and proper They just agree they were charged! A compensation committee determines the compensation for each officer of the ministry, including members of the Copeland family, based on data compiled by an independent consulting firm. The compensation committee is composed of who? Family, friends, outsiders, etc We comply with all applicable legal obligations, including all applicable federal income tax laws. Everybody complies and it doesnt mean the organization has integrity Copeland went on to say our church prides itself on financial accountability, citing policies and procedures designed to ensure financial integrity. Are the policies and procedures made public to ensure they work or just rubber stamp things At the same time, we have also instituted procedures to ensure the privacy of our donors, employees, directors and ministers, he said. So who are the directors and what is their total compensations? Why keep it a secret since it a nonprofit organization?
Oral and Richard Roberts have no integrity FOR FORTY FIVE YEARS ORAL AND RICHARD ROBERTS FOOLED EVERYBODY THAT THEY WERE MEN OF GOD AND NOW WE ALL KNOW IT'S NOT TRUE AND ALL ALONG THEY HAD NO INTEGRITY AND NEITHER DO THEIR BOARD OF REGENTS INCLUDING Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn WHOSE PRIMARY INTEREST IS THEIR OWN WEALTH THAN THE GOOD OF OTHERS So again I want to state that You all are very educated and intelligent people? So could you answer the following questions for me: 1) Since when is God on the side of liars, rapists and thieves even if they are pastors? He is not! 2) How can proven Evangelicals pastors who are proven slanderers, liars, and backstabbers sue anybody for slander? They cannot! 3) How can these Evangelicals pastors use their nonprofit religious corporation to carry out in secret their evil and wicked deeds of trying to destroy someone because they dont like what he or she is saying? They cannot 4) Are these evangelical pastors any different than the Pharisees and Sadducees who murdered Jesus because He told the truth about them? They are not! So again for the good of all Canadians checkout, investigate and deal with all Pentecostal Family Owned and Run Ministries in Canada including Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, the Prayer Palace in Toronto, Victory International Church in Hamilton, and 100 Huntley Street in Burlington, just like United States Senator Mr. Grassley is doing and as a result news media coverage of the letters to the six ministries, his office has been flooded with calls about them and other church organizations, too, the aides said.

Whenever I judge another believer, four things instantly happen: I lose fellowship with God, I expose my own pride, I set myself to be judged by God, and I harm the fellowship of the church. (Amazing how deceivers create their own false doctrines by ignoring what Jesus taught in Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 7:16 "You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 7:17 "Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 7:18 "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 7:19 "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 7:20 "Therefore by their fruits you will know them. 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 7:22 "Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 7:23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!') In typical New Evangelical fashion Warren makes no distinction between judging hypocritically (which is forbidden in Matthew 7) or judging on the basis of personal preference in matters not taught in Scripture (which is forbidden in Romans 14) and judging on the basis of the Bible (which is required by God). The child of God has an obligation to judge everything by Gods Word. The believers at Corinth were rebuked because they were careless in this regard and were tolerant of false teachers (2 Cor. 11:1-4). The Bereans, on the other hand, were commended because they carefully tested everything by the Scriptures (Acts 17:11). The Bible says he that is spiritual judgeth all things (1 Cor. 2:15) and Jesus taught that we should judge righteous judgment (John 7:24). We are to judge preaching (1 Cor. 14:29) and sin in the churches (1 Cor. 5). We are to try the spirits (1 John 4:1). To test preachers and their message carefully by Gods Word is not a matter of pride, but of wisdom and spirituality and obedience. On page 34 of The Purpose Driven Life, Warren says:
God wont ask about your religious background or doctrinal views. The only thing that will matter is, did you accept what Jesus did for you and did you learn to love and trust him? If this is true, why does the Bible say so very much about doctrine and why did the apostles call for doctrinal purity on every hand? Paul instructed Timothy to allow no other doctrine (1 Timothy 1:3). That is the very strictest stance on doctrinal purity, and it is precisely the stance we find throughout the apostolic writings. Rick Warren has a lot to answer for, because millions of people are basing their lives upon his teaching rather than upon the pure Word of God. If God is unconcerned about doctrine, why did the apostles spend so much time warning about false doctrines and doctrines of devils? See, for example, 2 Corinthians 11:1-4; Galatians 1:6-12; Philippians 3:18-21; Colossians 2:8; 1 Timothy 4:1-5; 1 Timothy 6:20-21; 2 Timothy 4:1-4; 2 Peter 2; Jude 3-23. Rick Warren requires his church members to sign a covenant promising to protect the unity of the church (The Purpose Driven Life, p. 167). This is a dangerous and unscriptural covenant. The child of God is not instructed to submit to a church or to its leaders blindly and at any cost. We are commanded to prove all things (1 Thess. 5:21), and all things means all things. The Bereans are exalted because they searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so (Acts 17:11). No preacher or church is above being tested by Gods Word. The Bible says, Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge (1 Cor. 14:29). Preaching is to be carefully judged by Gods Word. The pastor has God-given authority (Heb. 13:17), but it is not unquestionable authority and it is not his own authority; he is not a shepherd over his own flock; he is an undershepherd over Gods and he will give an account to the Great Shepherd (1 Pet. 5:14). The pastors authority is not in his own word; it is in Gods Word (Heb. 13:7); and if he strays from the Word of God he has no authority over Gods people and he should not be followed. Blind loyalty to a church is Popery and it is a gross heresy. Warren even claims that conflict is usually a sign that the focus has shifted to less important things (p. 162). If this were true, then the apostles and preachers in the early churches were side tracked much of the time, because they were frequently involved in doctrinal conflicts. Paul was involved in such conflicts almost continually. Many of his epistles contain lengthy sections in which he takes a stand against false teachers. In his epistles to his fellow preacher Timothy, Paul repeatedly warned about false teachers by name (1 Tim. 1:19-20; 2 Tim. 1:15; 2:17-18; 4:12, 14). (Critics are very upset that some who drop and use real names when they write and expose their sins and say dumb things that such people are not believers or Christians even though Paul told us in Ephesians . 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 5:12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 5:13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 5:14 Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light." Think about it for a moment if we took all the names out of the bible of each person who was in the bible including Jesus? What would have happened? The bible will become meaningless. So talking about the pie in the sky without out talking about the here
and now and using real names of real people is meaningless and will accomplishnothing? Imagine if a news paper wrote an important story about corruption and never used any names? It would mean meaningless!) Test All Professed Christian Teachers, Writers, Preachers, And Prophets Connie Giordano of www.Walkingintruth.org tells us clearly "Christians are commanded to test all professed Christian teachers, writers, preachers, and prophets, in fact, any individual who claims His work or message comes from the Holy Spirit. Believers may never assume that a ministry or spiritual experience is of God merely because one claims it is. Furthermore, no teaching or doctrine may be accepted as true solely on the basis of success, miracles, or apparent anointing." - The Full Life Study Bible "In this world there appears to be no truth without its counterfeit, no religion without hypocrites, no gold without tinsel, nor good wheat of God unmixed with tares." - Biblical Illustrator - New Testament "There is a need of a great deal of wisdom in our adherence to good truths, and good duties, and good people, lest in any of these we be imposed upon and deluded." - Matthew Henry "No one should be received as a religious teacher without the clearest evidence that he has come in accordance with the will of God, nor unless he inculcates the very truth which God has revealed." - Barnes' Notes' All believers are called to a walk of caution, scrutiny, and discretion while walking in the midst of gross error and deception - as found in their everyday world. Unlike so many other religious beliefs, Christianity is unique in that it commands its followers to examine and prove all words and experiences - rather than simply accepting them as coming from God. Here are some of the commands that must be followed by all in order to keep from ever being deceived 1. Try The Spirits 1 John 4:1 says - "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." "...try the spirits..." - prove them. In this case, "the spirits" are the teachers who are professing to be of God. Don't believe everything you hear. Carefully weigh and examine what they tell you. Test them to find out if they really do come from the Father. 2. Judge What Is Right Luke 12:57 says - "Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?" Judge for yourself what is right. Discern and acknowledge from what you see and hear. Don't be stupid and regardless. Understand the right thing to do. 3. Be Wise In Discerning What Is Good Romans 16:19 says - "...I would have you wise unto that which is good..." Be wise, discreet,
and knowing concerning that which is good. Discern good from evil and to be skillful and intelligent in His truths and ways. Test all who claim spiritual authority and to easily distinguish those who distort the Word and seek to weaken its power and authority. 4. Test Everything 1 Thessalonians 5:21 says - "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." Try every phenomena claiming to be supernatural by the touchstone of the Scriptures. Test all manifestations claiming to be from the Holy Spirit. Don't be gullible. Check out everything. All that stands the test - or increases your faith, love, holiness, and usefulness - accept...hold fast to...and keep. 5. Thoroughly Examine The Claims Of Preachers Revelation 2:2 says - "...thou hast tried them which say they are apostles..." There are many who are making false claims. In order to find them out, you have to thoroughly examine them. Don't just accept them because they carry honorable titles. 6. Judge All Things 1 Corinthians 2:15 says - "But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." The spiritual man - whose eyes of his heart have been enlightened, whose life is holy, and who is no longer blinded by the god of this world - discerns, decides rightly, examines, evaluates, and scrutinizes all things. He is able to do so because he is sanctified and spirituallyminded. Because he is guided by the Holy Spirit, he is able to rightly judge the value of everything. 7. Prove What Is Well-Pleasing To The Lord Ephesians 5:10 says - "Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord." The Christian is required to demonstrate what is acceptable to the Lord by his walk. As he walks as a child of the light, he shows what is acceptable in His sight. Don't be forward to believe every teacher to be a man or woman sent by God. Just because they pretend to be and teach under the Holy Spirit's influence does not make it so. Test everything according to the Word of God! You can't go wrong if you do! I Am Gentle And Lowly In Heart "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:2830 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 1 Peter 5:2 Many of us have experienced abusive pastors or religious leaders who have believed that a gift from God or some anointing has made them better than others, and they abuse the power and position that has been given to them in love. True ministry must be done in the same spirit that
Jesus ministered to others. He who is gentle and lowly in heart never verbally beat his disciples into any form of submission to achieve His own stated purposes. Jesus Christ who was meek and mild had numerous occasion to rebuke and tell off impetuous Peter who didnt always control his tongue, but He didnt! Hence Peter learned by experience what the true shepherd was like and told all religious leaders, Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly. The American Heritage Dictionary defines the word overseer as: overseer n. 1. One who keeps watch over and directs the work of others, especially laborers. 2. A supervisor or superintendent. A supervisor or superintendent is not a king, never mind a benevolent dictator? He is an employee who has been given the task to keep watch over and direct the work of others. However he should heed the words of Jesus who told us what would happen to bad supervisors: "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? "Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. "Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. "But if that evil servant says in his heart, 'My master is delaying his coming,' "and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, "the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, "and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 24:45-51 Since the once saved, always saved teaching is a doctrine of demons, then any unfaithful Christian leader can find himself cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Yet Gods word is unchanging: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Matthew 7:15-20 In his book, Churches That Abuse, sociologist Ronald M. Enroth ( Zondervan, Grand Rapids, 1992) identified 10 sets of features he found in abusive churches: control-oriented leadership, spiritual elitism, manipulation of members, perceived persecution, life-style rigidity, emphasis on experience, suppression of dissent, harsh discipline of members, denunciation of other churches, and the infliction of painful exit processes. An overview of the churches described indicates that control was obtained over every aspect of temporal liferanging from dress codes, the space between parishioners in pews, the kinds of cookies eaten, the assigning of marital partners, the destruction of marriages, the separating of familiesto the point that the readers see that individuals were led to replace their conscience and internal accountability with leaderdominated dictates that reflected that man's personal desires. (Few were woman pastors, and most of the pastors were self-appointed rather than ordained. Mind you, quite a few ordained pastors had been put in jail for other crimes including murder and rape.)
A common protest thrown at those who take a stand for the truth is that we are not supposed to judge. However there are innumerable verses in the Bible dealing with false teachings and refuting the errors. Hebrews 5:14 tells us that mature believers, those who are of full age, are those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern (judge) both good and evil. Jesus Himself said: Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment (John 7:24). In 2 Timothy 2:17 Paul not only warns of the heresies of two men, he also names them. He also states holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict (Titus 1:9). That you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine (1 Timothy 1:3). For the record, Jesus taught His disciples to beware of false prophets, who would come to them in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they would be ravenous wolves. The false ones will be known their fruits. Those who reject and deny what God has not denied including apostles, prophets, gifts of healing, miracles and speaking in tongues cannot be true prophets, but rather false ones. Those who rob, rape and use the sheep to build their own kingdom rather than those of the sheep cannot be true shepherds. For Gods word is unchanging: As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. John 10:15-16 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away. 1 Peter 5:2-4 True shepherds of the flock of God serve as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to them, but being examples to the flock. Unfortunately as seen by the many religious scandals in America true shepherds are very hard to find. But there are those foolish religious leaders who teach Judge not, that you be not judged or touch not my anointed? But if you dont judge a religious leader how can you be a fruit inspector? You cannot! No, Gods word is unchanging about the whole counsel of God: For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God. Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears. So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. I have coveted no ones silver or gold or apparel. Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me. I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, It is more blessed to give than to
receive. Acts 20:27-35 Take heed, watch and remember are not passive verbs but active verbs and is something that Gods word instructs all of Gods people to do. They have a divine calling to be fruit inspectors. Gods word is unchanging: Remember Lots wife. Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. Luke 17:32-33 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers doing business. When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers money and overturned the tables. And He said to those who sold doves, Take these things away! Do not make My Fathers house a house of merchandise! Then His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up. John 2:13-17 No, Jesus Christ was not very kind and nice to moneychangers in the house of God. Rather He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers money and overturned the tables. He gave an example what His true disciples were to do also! To be like Jesus is to do what Jesus did? Gods word is unchanging: Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. Then Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread? Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up? Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up? How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?-but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Matthew 16:5-12 Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, who devour widows houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation. Luke 20:46-47 Being dumb and stupid and not taking heed and being beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees is not something that would please Jesus or God? Otherwise Jesus would not warn His disciples about the false ones and their deeds and teachings! Gods word is unchanging: Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as the allotment of your inheritance," When they were few in number, indeed very few, and strangers in it. When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people, "He permitted no one
to do them wrong; yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes, Saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm." Psalm 105:11-15 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. 1 Corinthians 11:30-32 The Word of God tells us Miriam, the wife of Aaron, spoke against Moses and she really put herself in a lot of trouble with God. The bible records: Then He said, "Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house. I speak with him face to face, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant Moses?" So the anger of the LORD was aroused against them, and He departed. And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam became leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper. Numbers 12:6-9 Because Moses was faithful in all Gods house God spoke to Moses face to face and treated him differently from others who only heard about God. Now many presumptive idiots who think that because they are in leadership they are automatically the anointed ones like Moses was and anybody who speaks against them is going to be zapped by God and lose their life. But the Word of God tells us that we are all anointed ones and Gods word states: He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD (Proverbs 17:150 The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge (Proverbs 18:15) And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:28 Foolish ones, including religious leaders, fail to appreciate the fact that when they harm of Gods true apostles or prophets by word or deed they harm themselves and cause the judgment of God to fall on them. A prudent person would do well to ensure that he or she harms no one and obeys Gods word that states: Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13:8-10 Calgary Christian Center Now you already do know about the past Calgary Christian center church, run by clearly the bad no good, slandering, thieving pastor David Lagore, and family a Canadian Pentecostal
family run and owned religious nonprofit church Corporation, organization, ministry as I had witnessed , detailed to the news media and the federal government too, that was investigated by the federal Government and others also and it's incorporation was rightfully removed by the federal government too. Paul Kambulow "I was in a super great Church once, even though the Pastors were stealing, abusing the funds, committing adultery, counselling divorce, gossiping, slandering, lying, and so forth. The Holy Spirit due to the prayers of some of the faithful persons there was really moving in their services, and many people were getting saved, healed and delivered, and the praise and worship services were really great. God specifically had told me to go to this church as well, but he had put a condition on it, he said do not talk with, communicate, fellowship with any of the pastors. I had done some great personal counselling in that Church as well.. met some great and also bad people. But eventually one day next came when I had to talk to the same pastors, and even to tell them that God was going to get rid of them, to next deal with them negatively and God did! " (Micah 3:6 KJV) Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. 7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God. 8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. Yes I was at the Calgary Christian center when the bad, slandering, stealing, no good pastor Dave Lagore was there.. I lived across the street from the church too.. before the church closed.. How anyone could consider Dave Lagore a Christian Pastor is way beyond me for I had personally witnessed him stealing 14,000 dollars that we had previously collected door to door in Calgary for a halfway house to help troubled persons, but the same money never reached the house. There were mostly relatives of Dave Lagore on the paid staff at the Calgary Christian center, and non relatives were likely unable to find a job there. I wanted to prove to myself how really bad and crooked pastor Dave Lagore was, so I gave the church secretary a book to pass on to the pastor to read, and told her not to tell him who the book was from. The next Sunday pastor Dave Lagore preached a sermon directly from the same book but he did not refer to the book as his source, he claimed God had totally inspired his sermon. Pastor Gordie Lagore took me out for lunch once, and told me that once a week the pastors met and discussed other people in the other people in the church. They the CCC church pastors had gossiped, lied, slandered them behind their backs weekly too, and when I found out I went straight the same day to pastor Dave's office and told him that the next time he did that again I personally would deal with him. When other people asked what had happened at the meeting Dave Lagore next lied and told them I had threatened to kill him.. and so I helped to close his church by having the Canadian government revoke their right to issues tax receipts. Only one of the 7 Lagore relatives, pastors next was able to find a job in Alberta.
The trouble with anyone lying is that soon one will likely end up believing in one's own lies and one tends to live out the lies next, to act upon their false delusions.This applies to people who lie to the courts, to politicians who lie to the citizens as well.. to Pastors who lie to their congregations.. Now I have personally seen this happen many times .. For example a pastor was personally asked to repent of his own immorality. His own family asked him if the charges were true. The pastor replied you cannot believe anything the persons says he is crazy.. Soon the pastors family started to worry about this supposedly crazy person. To keep up the pretense the pastor even bought next a bullet proof car for protection for himself. This increased the stress upon his own family.. They lived out the pastor's lie.. This was a punishment for the lies now as well. This same truth applies to ANYONE, Minister, lawyers, spouses who lie to us or the courts too. In the end the pastor still lost his church anyway, because he next was still exposed for his wrong doings, cause you cannot lie to everyone.. some people saw the truth.. and did something good about it too.. they let the Pastor go. One of those crooked Calgary Christian center elders Harvey a member of the FGBMFI too had ran for government, to become an Alberta MLA, the same elder who professed to be a Christian, but managed a restaurant in Calgary, Ranchlands that served alcohol too. I next told the news reporters firsthand in Calgary what he was really like, so of course he lost the news media support and any chance of election too. God told me he had reduced in size this corrupt church so they would not spread their evil influences. I lived in the fortress towers in Dalhousie across the street from the church for ten years too. I had personally witnessed the senior pastor Dave Lagore even stealing 14,000 dollars of funds that were collected for by specific donations. promised to their teen haven halfway house were rather diverted to his own personal use. The Calgary Christian center Church which had an attendance of about 1400 people Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday prayer meetings too. this church had an annual budget of 2.2 million dollars and had 28 family members on the church payroll now too went out of the church business cause I firstly had told everyone how crooked they were too and cause I write to the government, news media about it too.there were 7/8 pastors that were direct relatives. And next only 2 of these pastors were next able to find job in Alberta, the rest had to move to the other provinces to get a pastoral job. The church was replaced by a small group of left over loyalist composed about 100 people and they became the victory Christian fellowship church of Varsity Calgary, Alberta. I next witnessed their new pastor coming out of a pornographic store as well. As posted on the net some of my related writings for years now too.. " "Canada Today - I wrote and told you the truth as to how bad the RCMP in Canada really was.. now it is being more detailed in Canada's newspapers.. Auditor General Sheila Framer, "she wrote that those in charge those in charge of the RCMP pension and insurance plans had hired their relatives at exorbitant rates of pay, let contracts of dubious value for inflated prices and improperly skimmed $1.3 million from the funds to cover the fact that their costs were skyrocketing out of control." Here is a line I wrote many years about crooked cops.. think about it the crooked pastors and crooked cops will go to the same place in hell for even doing the same bad things.. When I read about the latest RCMP sin revelations I could not help but think about
the past crooked Pastor Dave Lagore of Calgary Christian center, a Pentecostal Assembly of Canada church, the same church that next went into receivership, where Pastor Dave Lagore had 28 family members on the church payrolls, including his two brothers, brother in law, wife, etc.,.. and he Pastor Dave Lagore had even used unpaid labor from the street shelters to clean up the church.. and I had exposed him, rightfully had demanded his removal as well. If our PM Stephen Harper seriously wants to get re-elected he needs to look after the good welfare of all the citizens.. and not sleep with the bad RCMP.. The issues I write about get full news media attention and they do not go away till they get adequately resolved and he too should have learned that by now too".. "The pretentious and very inadequate Pastor of Calgary Christian Centre Dave Lagore had asked some members and adherents to collect money door to door in Calgary to keep a teen halfway house Open. The same pastor next had openly admitted he had no intention even of doing so. After the team had acquired 15,500 dollars the pastor closed the center, and transferred the funds to his own account, to even help pay the significant debit he has incurred. Unacceptable the same teen halfway center, along with a regular bus load of street people were being used to do the weekly church maintenance even freely." "Don Ross of Don Ross Ministries who claimed to be solely supporting the underprivileged persons in Calgary wrongfully used some of the designated funding as well to expand his recreation room in his house, improve his garage too... a charge I had personally shared now with him and had asked him to repent of it as well." "The pretentious and very inadequate senior founding Church Pastor of South Calgary Community Church, Dr. Frank Berg part of the clearly north American Baptist Church, a clearly German racists oriented church has said in his service one Sunday morning he personally could not understand what Hitler did that was so bad. The same pastor who also counseled divorce wrongfully and declared war, hostility towards those who would not support financially his proposed church expansion in to Mdnapore, the newer southwest part of Calgary." In the last 3 decades in Canada over 50 percent of the Canadian Evangelical pastors I had encountered, dealt with were basically crooked.. I witnessed them stealing funds, attempting adultery, a Plymouth Bretheren pastor reading pornography, pastors abusing their flocks. And I have already helped to close one church, exposed many others bad pastors too, plus I also have removed two founding bad pastors from their own churches as well. I interviewed about 45 evangelical pastors face to face in the city of Calgary and almost none of them used the Bible in marriage counseling too. The first fruit, evidence of the much too many evangelical pastor corruption besides them being hireling, money lovers is them falsely counseling divorce... cause they clearly and wrongfully are still sex maniacs too. Anyone familiar with basic North American Christianity can see firsthand how too many of the Plymouth Brethren, evangelical Fundamentals, Baptists too often spread their lies, hatreds towards the Pentecostal as well even on the Internet. This also needs to be fully stopped, investigated too. The basic most common criticism of Pentecostals that I have heard the last 50 years being emotionally unstable mentally sick persons is immoral, slanderous should be also balanced to the unacceptable fact that these same professing Christian bullies, basher, slanderers, liars are not qualified or permitted to make such remarks about others, not even doctors are allowed to do this.. You better get better
garbage than this to deal with your Pentecostal objections.. like the fundamentals are mainly still closed minded to the Holy Sprit cause they are busy living their own self centered life mostly. (Ezek 2:3 KJV) And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.4 For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD. And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. "Calgary the way Stephen Harper is not the only one who fails to practice what he says he believes in, so do some pastors at the Toronto Airport Christian fellowship even as of lately.The supposedly Pentecostal Pastors of the TACF Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship a "family run and owned" religious nonprofit Corporations/organizations/ministries do now need to seriously repent of their lies and slanders. If one examines it more closely one can see that the bad Church pastors of are now themselves even wrongfully violating the basic Moral codes. It is very ironical that the clearly bad Pastors who had sued Walter Kambulow for supposedly slandering them, are themselves rather lying and slandering, violating the basic laws of God, the ten commandments. "Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a nonprofit, religious corporation, has also gone to the Supreme Court of Ontario again to try and silence Walter Kambulow from exercising his right of sending emails to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Members of Parliament, the news media, and others " (http://cnt10a.tripod.com/tblaw.htm http://cnt10a.tripod.com/tb.htm) Yes, the Pastors of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, including John Arnott, Steve long and Fred Wright, have not even denied for too long of a period of reasonable time Walter Kambulow's written accusations towards them and thus in the eyes of the law they can no longer deny them , rather TCAF have accepted them as truthful.The whole scenario is also still pathetic too.. Professing Christian Pastors, believers go to court against the other Christian believers clearly not allowed by the Bible too.. no wise Christian persons able to resolve this all? (1 Cor 6:7 KJV) Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. Now you already do know about the past Calgary Christian center church, run by clearly the bad no good, slandering, thieving pastor David Lagore, and family a Canadian Pentecostal family run and owned religious nonprofit church Corporation, organization, ministry as I had witnessed , detailed to the news media and the federal government too, that was investigated by the federal Government and others also and it's incorporation was rightfully removed by the federal government too. So I am not surprised by these new allegations my brother now makes against the same Pentecostals groups, even the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.. Most people
who attend an evangelical church and donate money to it do rightfully think it is a congregational church, owned and run by the members of the church and not shockingly to find next rather it is a dictatorial, one many ministry owned by the pastor himself.. a fact generally not disclosed or advertised to the donators.. so there is not real accountability of the bad pastor's acts next as well. >> Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley announced a Senate investigation into whether six televangelists violated their organizations' tax-exempt status by living lavishly on the money small donors had contributed Me I had next wrote to you as well and have said that all the churches, corporations should be rightfully investigated, even for tax evasions, not just these six.. My other related experiences is that both the Pentecostal and non Pentecostal churches have the same number of bad pastors who cheat, lie, steal, slander, commit adultery, abuse as I now that as well.. so all this whole issues is merely the kettle calling the pot back still too.. you all need to do some serious personal repentance in realty.. Politicians are not the only crooks, so are many pastors, cops, professionals too, and they all need to repent.. .. , nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. Well after I had written to these Pentecostals Churches, two pastors from the Toronto Airport Christian fellowship church, pentacostal church on my past mailing list had next wrongfully decided to sue my twin brother Walter Kambulow last month for 5 million dollars, but unfortunately some of the allegations made towards my brother involved me, for now they had also wrongfuuly slandered me next in the process, and they even also had had misrepresented what my brother had done to them, about my brother. Their law suit does net even bear any initial merit cause they admited these same bad Church pastors they had not denied inititaly the allegations that my brother had made towards them in wrting, and after 6 months period, (http://cnt10a.tripod.com/tblaw.htm http://cnt10a.tripod.com/tb.htm) Yes, the Pastors of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, including John Arnott, Steve long and Fred Wright, have not even denied for too long of a period of reasonable time Walter Kambulow's written accusations towards them and thus in the eyes of the law they can no longer deny them , rather TCAF have accepted them as truthful."

Chapter 10
Fleecing The Sheep TACFs other best friend Pentecostal Evangelist Rodney Howard Browne of Tampa, Florida, has stated "It was the pastors job to fleece the sheep! Only God was to judge pastors, not the (dumb) sheep! Thieves were to be blessed and rewarded, not judged for this is what Jesus would want them to do! IS THIS TRUE AND WHAT TACF TEACHES AND PRACTICES? Rodney Howard-Browne & Friends
It was the pastors job to fleece the sheep RHB "One hundred million souls for Christ GHB By John Davies http://cnt10d.tripod.com/rodney.htm
Mark 4:22 "For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light Few had heard of Rodney Howard-Browne before he led a series of revival meetings in Lakeland, Florida in 1993. A lot has happened since then; some of it is commendable, and some of it is reprehensible. In theory Browne came to America from South Africa to "revive" a largely sleeping church. He quickly got labeled as a Holy Ghost "bartender" because of the manifestations of "holy laughter" dominating his ministry. In his meetings Rodney taught that not only it was the pastors job to fleece the sheep but only God was to judge pastors, not the (dumb) sheep! He also taught that thieves were to be blessed and rewarded, not judged for this is what Jesus would want them to do! Rodney also taught that it was more important to give than to receive and spend a lot of time receiving offerings that he spent on himself and family members. Rodney learned about nepotism from his good friend Senior Pastor Karl Strader of Carpenters Home Church, Lakeland, Florida, for the bible stated:1TM 5:8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Christmas morning, Dec 25, 2002, changed the lives of Dr's Rodney and Adonica HowardBrowne forever. It was early hours of that morning, that Kelly, their 18 year old daughter, passed away in his arms. She had suffered from the incurable disease, Cystic Fibrosis for 18 years. As she passed away, Rodney and Adonica offered up to Jesus the best gift they had to offer, their daughter. Rodney then vowed, that because the devil had taken their daughter with this dreaded disease, he would pay with 100 million souls over the next 10 years. Thus began the burning of the vision for 100 million souls. The Kelly May foundation was born and the beginnings of World Outreach began with the planning of two great crusades this year. The first in May/June 2003 in Mexico and the second Oct/Nov 2003 in Soweto, South Africa. There will be 6 crusades next year and 12 each year thereafter. Hence it was not a surprise to learn that Gil & Loraine Howard-Browne were moving to Tampa this March to help Evangelist Rodney Howard- Browne win "One hundred million souls for
Christ over the next 10 years?" Considering the Howard-Brownes are naturalized Americans who don't belong to ECFA and are accountable to no one but themselves, this is a very stupid and impossible vision, especially considering that there have never been one hundred million souls won for Jesus in a period of ten years through out earth's history. But the Howard-Brownes are nothing but liars, thieves, con-artists and wolves in sheeps clothing. A first-hand Account, Accurately Reported by Yves A. Brault. I saw him in Florida as he was a guest-speaker at the Orlando Christian Center. I also attended his services in British Columbia, where he held a series of meetings from Nov. 19 through 23, 1996, in a popular charismatic church of Vancouver. More than once in this 2,000-seat church auditorium, a member of his organization advised us to be careful at the altar and not step on those lying on the carpeted floor because "even if they are under the power of the Holy Ghost, they still feel pain!" Howard-Browne played a very active human role in the laughter manifestation. He joked again and again, "I'll read from The Amplified Bible, so if it comes out loud, it's because it's amplified." Himself a Caucasian, born and raised in Africa, now living in America, he came to this conclusion, "That makes me an African-American!" At the time of the offering he suggested, besides cash and check giving, "You can use your credit card: MasterCard, Visa, American Distress." The crowd was ecstatic. Adonica - his wife - also made a brief appearance on the stage. At the very first meeting she was asked to greet the audience. Estimating that the crowd's response lacked enthusiasm, she said, "Are you just shy Canadians, or what? Are you just as the Americans?" A remark that lacked some tact! The Holy Ghost "bartender" seemed to believe that he needs to instruct people on laughing and behavior. He even defied those who would not respond according to his expectations. It came close to threatening when he accused the more conservative people by saying, "We'll cast the religious devil out of you." He did not miss an opportunity to put his critics down, "Some people have got more faith in believing the devil can come into this place tonight to touch people. How dumb can you get and still breathe!" Referring to North American theologians, which he named dead heads, he said, "Bunch of whitewash, full of dead bones, like a constipated mule." Americans and Canadians, in particular, did not weigh much in his eyes. I don't know if his attitude has changed, but he said, "Jesus is alive. It's only North Americans that don't believe that." South African Pentecostal Evangelist Rodney Howard-Browne, a white supremacist in theology, who immigrated with all his brothers and parents to United States became a naturalized American and taught that "sheep needed to be fleeced or they would have too much hair and could not see where they are going.. It was the pastors job to fleece the sheep had been credited with bringing the laughter revival to America. But from what really happened in Carpenter's Home Church in 1993 and 1994 and its devastating effect on the community including the robbing, raping and murdering of the sheep, was not much of a revival. Roy Aldrich, a retired school teacher, was robbed of $100,000.00 by Pastor Karl Strader and his
son Dan Strader of Carpenter's Home Church Lakeland, Florida. Rodney, who was a personal friend of Karl Strader who practiced nepotism, and bought him a Lincoln town car, was asked to help the elderly victims who were robbed by the Straders and he refused. But when German Evangelist Reinhard Bonnkes decided to relocate his ministry to Florida, Rodney HowardBrowne decided he would give Bonnke a house. At first he offered Bonnke his own house in Tampa, but Bonnke had to locate in Orlando to be closer to his operational base. It was then that Howard-Browne decided to build Bonnke a new $250,000 home in Orlando. Rodney then drove a brand new car to Bonnkes driveway. How gracious and wonderful of Rodney to be a respecter of persons to the high and mighty and to ignore the real plight of the poor and needy? Nepotism was also practiced by Rodney who had his parents on the payroll! Rodneys older brother, Gil Howard Browne, who was burnt out in his ministry, was asked by Rodney to move to Tampa and help him with the vision God has given him "One hundred million souls for Christ over the next 10 years." And Rodneys other brother, Bazil, was also a scoundrel who used a scheme to get rich by enticing other pastors ordained or not to join him Come under the covering of River Family Church, and Pastors Bazil & Ann Howard-Browne, receive ordination through River Family Church, and as a ministry tithe to RFC. Of course Bazils ministry, the River Family Church, would profit from the tithes of all pastors who would join him. Hence it's not surprising that the Statement of Faith of Bazil ministry reflects the former bigoted white South African supremacy policy and states: The programs and activities of The River shall be based upon and at all times shall be consistent with the following beliefs: Section 1. Policy. The government of this Church shall be theocratic, recognizing that Jesus Christ is the Lord, head and pastor of the Body of Christ and that he has vested the authority to direct the affairs of the Church in the person of the Pastor, being assisted by the Board of Trustees and Staff. The Pastor shall be recognized by the members and all concerned as the leader under Christ of this local body. This Church maintains its inherent rights to sovereignty in the conduct of church life in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, and voluntarily enters into a cooperative fellowship with the Body of Christ. The fact remains that multi-million dollars Family run Evangelistic Ministries in America be it the Hinn's of Orlando, the Straders of Lakeland, the Howard-Browne's of Tampa, the Falwells of Lynchburg, the Brights of Orlando, the Robertson's of Norkfolk, the Roberts of Tulsa, the Copelands of Forth Worth, and the Graham's of Minneapolis are notorious for hiding their total salaries and those of their family members and special friends in their indirect personally owned nonprofit religious corporation while they live in palatial palaces like kings and royalty. Just like with the Bakker's of PTL Club fame personal misconduct, mismanagement, and pillaging of the treasury and misuse of Ministry resources are quite common. Benny Hinn had to flee from Orlando Florida, when the media started to dig into the different scandals in his ministry. The Straders of Lakeland, personal friends of the Jim Bakker, Benny Hinn, Oral and
Richard Roberts and Rodney Howard-Browne, went through a major split of Carpenter's Home Church in 1989 when the Straders refused to relinquish the financial control they had on the ministry, the church and its assets. Unlike Jesus Christ who owned nothing, Televangelists Jan and Paul Crouch who once had lost their tax exemption for their Trinity Broadcasting Network are definitely not lacking in any material possession. Their home is described as "a palatial estate with ocean and city views and was purchased for around five million dollars. It has six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a billiard room, a climate-controlled wine cellar, a sweeping staircase and a crystal chandelier. The three-story, nearly 9,500-square-foot house, has an elevator, also has a six-car garage, a tennis court and a pool with a fountain. Trinity Broadcasting, established in 1973, has more than 768 TV stations on the air worldwide. The Crouches oversee a $100-million-plus-a-year enterprise. One of the Crouch estates is TBN's ranch in Colleyville, TX, just minutes away from the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The 80-plus acre ranch contains eight houses and horse stables, is estimated to be worth about $10 million. Mind you President Clinton did and President Bush does release his total salary and his personal income tax to the public while Billy and Franklin Graham and their friends do not. But adulterous and lying Bill Clinton seems to have more integrity and accountability than TV Evangelists do in this area? It seems that all of these family run ministries including RHB are bigoted and see the dumb sheep as God sent to be fleeced for their own hidden agenda and growth of their personal kingdom of which they are kings and rule supreme and are not accountable to the public but only to God. But they collect their money from people and not God? And their tax exemption comes from the people and not God? So whom are they fooling? Not God and not the people! Is it possible that they are really crooks who use the separation of Church and State to fleece the sheep as South African Evangelist Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne had said, it was their responsibility to fleece the sheep? The leadership of the Assembly of God denomination both in Lakeland and Missouri also would not accept the testimony of one of its members Roy Aldrich that he was robbed and raped by money changers and wolves in sheep's clothing in Carpenter's Home Church during the so called "revival". But the State of Florida who cared about justice, righteousness and truth accepted the words and testimony of Roy Aldrich about the Straders. The Florida State prosecutors proved their case and convinced the jurors that Dan Strader, the son of the senior pastor Karl Strader, devised an elaborate scheme to attract cash in the realestate and mortgage investments. He was selling the securities without a license and that the securities were unregistered. This was done in an organized method amounting to RacketeerInfluence and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO Act. Daniel, 37, was sentenced to 45 years in prison in August 1995. He was convicted of 238 felony
counts for bilking 57 mostly elderly investors, some members of the church, out of $2.3 million by selling investments in properties that didn't exist or already had liens against them. Others who were involved along with Dan Strader were not pursed by the State of Florida as they felt that the conviction of Daniel Strader was a good example for others to take notice. It is to be noted that Howard-Browne's standard biography claims he once served as an associate pastor at Rhema. But according to Rhema church officials contacted, Howard-Browne was never an associate pastor-nor did he ever hold any pastoral credentials or responsibilities. Said Kelmeyer: "Rodney was never an associate pastor here. He was an ordained minister by the state and a lecturer at our Bible school, but was not involved in any form of pastoral work." Howard-Browne also claimed a "doctorate of ministry degree" from an obscure San Jacinto, California correspondence institution called "The School of Bible Theology." A state Department of Education employee contacted likened the tiny school, which bills itself as "The Seminary to the World" and has no faculty, to a "diploma mill." While most doctorate degrees are earned through serious study at through hard work at a credited University Life Christian University of Tampa, another diploma mill, gives out honorary degrees to prominent Charismatic Christians based on stupidity and has stated: "Many full-time ministers continue their education to the doctoral level through our Distance Learning program. These doctoral programs can include work in which the minister is currently involved and advanced standing is awarded for published works. Our illustrious alumni include such internationally-prominent ministers as: Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne Doctor of Divinity Doctor of Theology Dr. Joyce Meyer Doctor of Philosophy in Theology Dr. Kenneth Copeland Doctor of Philosophy in Theology Dr. Norvel Hayes Doctor of Philosophy in Theology Dr. Mike Francen Doctor of Philosophy in Missionary Evangelism Dr. Dick Mills Doctor of Sacred Theology Dr. Benny Hinn Doctor of Philosophy in Theology
Dr. Kevin McNulty Doctor of Missiology in Missionary Evangelism So why are prominent Evangelical leaders in America so dishonest about Doctorate degrees and are hiding their total personal salaries? Are they ashamed that they earn so much or not enough? Or are they Crooks and Liars? Mind you the latter is more plausible for Evangelical Leaders in America, be they Billy or Franklin, Graham, Bill Bright, Pat Robertson, Rodney HowardBrowne, Benny Hinn, Jerry Falwell or others, have no integrity whatsoever; especially when it comes to their own personal salaries and those of their special friends. David Taggart, a twenty-nine-year-old "personal aide" to Jim Bakker and his lover, received $360,000 in 1986 for special services. While in 1986 the Bakkers were paid $1.9 million. It is a fact the PTL Club was full of personal misconduct, mismanagement, and pillaging of the PTL treasury. So are the others any different? For the total salaries of the Billy Graham and his sons and family are one of American's best-kept secrets and even their personal lives that are no different than that of Jim Bakker! Self Righteous Evangelical leaders, such as Billy Graham and Bill Bright were shocked and dismayed, at the revelations about the life style and morality of these Pentecostal "televangelist in America. On Larry King live in the fall of 1998 Southern Baptist Evangelist Billy Graham was insulted when he was compared with TV Evangelists such as Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker and their sex scandals. Billy Graham said that he did not do those things which Jim Bakker or Jim Swaggart did - a statement that turned out to be a lie! But Billy Graham's own son Ned Graham turned out to be no different than Jim Bakker. Even though a President of an Evangelical Ministry must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; not given to wine, not violent, and not greedy for money, Ned Graham the son of Billy Graham, Southern Baptist minister, president East Gates International, a group that distributes Bibles in China told Christianity Today in an interview that he had abused alcohol and spent an "inappropriate amount of time" with two women on his staff. Grace Community Church, Southern Baptist Convention, in Auburn, Washington-which counted Ned Graham, his wife, and their two sons as members established in 1999 the fact that Ned Graham was an adulterer, alcoholic, wife abuser, and drug user and revoked Graham's ministerial credentials. It directed Graham to stop using the title reverend. Yet in a style reminiscent of Jimmy Swaggart, who refused to be defrocked by the Assembly of God denomination, Ned Graham left that congregation for another church. Most of the staff and board members of East Gates International resigned amid controversies. East Gates, in Sumner, Wash., withdrew its membership in the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability after Ned replaced the board members with his sister Ruth Graham McIntyre, brother-in-law Stephan Tchividjian, and business leader Peter Lowe. Billy Graham, born as William Franklin Graham in Charlotte, North Carolina, a registered
Democrat, and the leading spokesman for Christian Fundamentalism was educated at the now infamous racist and bigoted Bob Jones University associated with Senator John Ashcroft and George W. Bush. As full time chairman of Billy Graham Evangelistic Organization, which he founded fifty years ago, Graham took a yearly one hundred percent salary from his own religious non profit organization; even if he was incapacitated, had a pension fund, worked about ten days a year and spent fifty percent of the time in bed or at the hospital! While the Tampa Tribune had reported that "Billy Graham encourages religious leaders to be open about their salaries and publish their finances" But this does not change the fact that Rev. Billy, Ned and Franklin Graham, Rev, Jesse Jackson or any other prominent Baptist leader in America are not open about their total salaries and those of their family members and special friends. Graham who has legally been stealing his full salary and other benefits for the last fifty years is unique in his special privileges in this non profit organization as no other employee in the Billy Graham Evangelistic Organization other than Billy Graham is paid a full one hundred percent salary and is allowed to spend fifty percent of his time in bed or at the hospital. In the last five years newspaper investigations brought out factual revelations that showed that the "Born Again" Baptist leaders in America were no different than their Pentecostal counter parts. They were just as much liars, thieves and adulterers as the others. As a matter of fact, even though he is sick and dying, spends over fifty percent of his time in bed or the hospital, Dr. Billy Graham has been taking a one hundred percent salary and other benefits from the B.G.E.A. that he had founded: Even though the I.R.S. rules state that no non-profit organization should exist for the benefit of one individual. No other salaried employee in B.G.E.A. is allowed to take a one hundred percent salary plus his pension fund and other perks and spends so many days being sick, as Billy Graham has done and does. Where is the justice or integrity in all of this? Does the "Separation of Church and State mean that the chairman of a religious non profit religious organization could legally steal as much salary and other benefits as he wants if it is rubber stamped by his special board of directors and not be accountable to the donors or the public? This seems to be the case! Otherwise hypocritical Baptist leader who preach integrity to others would not hide their salaries but be honest and state the "total compensation" of their five top employees, including Billy and Franklin Graham!

The senator expects full cooperation, he said in a statement released by his staff. "It's about time some sanity is brought to these religious nonprofits," said Ole Anthony, founder of Trinity Foundation, a Dallas-based televangelist watchdog organization. "Some are committing outright fraud, and it's getting worse, not better, as time goes on." Grassley, former chairman of the finance committee, said his requests for information came in response to complaints from the public and news coverage about practices at the six ministries. The allegations involve governing boards that aren't independent and allow generous salaries and housing allowances for church leaders, and amenities such as private jets and Rolls-Royces. "I don't want to conclude that there's a problem, but I have an obligation to donors and taxpayers to find out more," he wrote. "People who donated should have their money spent as intended and in adherence with the tax code." Besides the Whites, letters went to Benny Hinn of World Healing Center Church of Grapevine, Texas; David and Joyce Meyer of Joyce Meyer Ministries of Fenton, Mo.; Kenneth and Gloria Copeland of Kenneth Copeland Ministries of Newark, Texas; Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church of Lithonia, Ga., and Creflo and Taffi Dollar of World Changers Church International of College Park, Ga. In a five-page letter to Randy and Paula White, Grassley asked for detailed information on 28 areas of church and personal finances, mainly from the years 2004 to present. Some of those include: A detailed explanation of the compensation paid to the Whites, as well as cash and noncash gifts, housing allowances and personal use of assets. A detailed list of any expenses paid for by their church or ministries toward the purchases and monthly maintenance of their residences on Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa, and in New York, San Antonio and Malibu, Calif. Credit card statements for expenses paid by the Whites' tax-exempt entity, including a list of all expense account items such as clothing and cosmetic surgery. A list of all domestic and overseas bank accounts and investments belonging to their organizations. A list of all vehicles purchased, leased or maintained by their tax-exempt organizations. Copies of flight records of any aircraft leased or owned by their ministries, as well as flight itineraries for both the Whites.
A copy of the bill of sale, type of payment used and an explanation of the reported tax-exempt purchase of a Bentley convertible as a gift for Bishop T.D. Jakes. A detailed accounting of $871,000 worth of items reportedly sold to the church since 2005 by two of the private businesses owned by the Whites, and an explanation as to who determined that the church would purchase these items. An explanation of who determines how the funds of Without Walls and Paula White Ministries are spent, copies of all board minutes and whether any of the decisions, both operational and financial, are subject to oversight by an elected or appointed body. Randy and Paula White, who founded Without Walls in 1991 and divorced this year, reacted Monday to the Grassley letter in a statement released by their public relations firm, Tucker/Hall. Representatives from the other ministries did not respond to a request for comment. Whites Call Letter 'Unusual' The Whites said they were initially notified of the letter by a reporter, and found it peculiar that the media learned of it before they did. "We're assuming it's authentic - but we find it unusual, since the IRS has separate powers to investigate religious organizations if they think it's necessary," the statement said. "So we find it odd that the IRS did not initiate this investigation. It also seems odd that they have asked about areas that have no relationship to the operation of the church." The Whites said they could not comment further because they had just received the letter and their lawyers had not finished reviewing it. This year, The Tampa Tribune detailed problems at Without Walls, one of the largest independent nondenominational churches in the nation. Detractors said the Whites borrowed $170,000 from an elderly widow and failed to keep promises to care for her or pay it back. A young woman who said she was promised a house for winning a church essay contest did not get it, though the church repeatedly publicized the award ceremony. The Whites have since repaid the widow and secured a house for the young woman. After inquiries from the Tribune, the church published an audit of its 2005 and 2006 finances on its Web site. It states that the church took in $39.9 million in 2006 and itemizes some of its spending. It does not break down how much was spent on specific ministries or on salaries for its top staff. That a U.S. senator is asking about finances, and not the IRS, doesn't surprise Anthony, whose organization has provided information to the Finance Committee for more than two years. "You've got approximately 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in America, and 30,000 starting up each year," he said. "The government can't possibly keep up with that workload. But it's apparent that media coverage isn't enough to expose this. If anything is going to change, it takes
a drastic step like this." 'He's Picking A Fight' Kenneth Behr, president of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, an accreditation agency for Christian ministries, called the inquiry "a very big deal." He said he is not aware of a high-ranking lawmaker ever undertaking such an extensive investigation into so many churches. "I think he's picking a fight," Behr said. "He is not just asking them to come in and talk, he is asking them for everything." And if they don't tell all, he predicted, Grassley could ask the IRS to step in. "An IRS audit is not pleasant," said the former Ford Motor Co. executive. "I wouldn't wish it on my enemy." Gloria Sutton, an IRS spokeswoman in Jacksonville, would not comment on Grassley's letters or how the agency might respond. She could not say how many churches the IRS has audited in recent years. The churches probably can't take refuge in laws governing the separation of church and state. Religious organizations are subject to all sorts of government regulations, said Ayesha N. Khan, legal director for Americans United for Separation of Church and State. If the churches don't respond, or don't respond in full, Grassley could push for a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee. Ministries Teach Prosperity Gospel Rodney Pitzer, of a North Carolina-based donor advocacy organization called Ministrywatch.com, said some ministries are purposefully designed to make their leaders wealthy. He said he hopes the Senate inquiry will encourage religious organizations to "start cleaning house." "Some of these nonprofits really know how to work the system," he said. "They may be in compliance with the law, but they're certainly not in compliance with the heart and the spirit of the law." The pressure to change the laws will have to come from donors rather than the government, said Ted Olsen, managing editor for news and online journalism at Christianity Today. But the ministries targeted by Grassley are in a subgroup of the Christian evangelical movement that Olsen calls the "health-and-wealth crowd." They preach prosperity Gospel, a teaching that promises material rewards for those who give to the church.
"There's little fear of donor backlash when your donors see opulence as a sign of God's blessing," he said. Even a national Christian publication that has given favorable coverage to ministries such as Without Walls is taking a harder look. Lee Grady, editor of Charisma magazine, is now calling for financial reform in Christian evangelical circles. He is bothered that some ministries are giving "all of us a bad name because money has been misused." "This is an awkward time for the church," Grady said. "I believe God is putting his finger on some problems and demanding that we set our house in order. If we don't correct these problems ourselves, then the government may have to step in and do it. And that will be unfortunate." Tips For Donors Guidelines For Nonprofits Should Churches Have To Answer The Government's Questions?

Dear Editor of the Associated Press, Eric Gorski article of 01/18/08 "Senator to push probe of Atlanta churches, others" is very shallow and obtuse. It omits the fact that Senator Grassley must also investigate examine the origin, history and hypocrisy of Christianity Today and Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability which was founded by Evangelist Billy Graham who himself is a thief
(http://cnt10.tripod.com/graham.htm) and Charisma which supported and supports thieves such Benny Hinn, Pastor Karl Strader, Rodney Howard Browne, Richard Roberts, Bishop Randy White, Paul Crouch, and others in the Neo-Pentecostal movement. All these groups have refused to expose wolves in sheeps clothing when asked to do so See Not Innocent http://crooksaog.tripod.com/ The flagship magazine of the movement, Christianity Today, editorialized this month that the Grassley probe amounted to "oversight overstep" that risked delving improperly into theology. This is not the first financial scandal in the church. The silver lining to past embarrassments is the greater transparency they launched in the evangelical movement. In response to some nonprofit scandals in the late 1970s, George Wilson (Billy Graham's business manager) and Sen. Mark Hatfield took the lead in creating the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, a "Christian Better Business Bureau." One concern was donor confidence, but another was fear of government intervention. Some similar reforms came out of the televangelist scandals of the 1980s.

Chapter 11
Holy War These tax-exempt ministries are required, by law, not to use donations from followers to enrich themselves, and theres considerable evidence that theyve done just that. Pentecostal preacher pledges holy war against GOP senator Posted January 28th, 2008 at 12:50 pm Share This | Spotlight | Permalink It hasnt generated a lot of headlines, but in the world of religion and politics, its a pretty big deal. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, recently asked six high-profile, hyper-wealthy Pentecostal televangelists for their financial records, under the suspicion that theyre using their ministries for personal gain. (Imagine that.) Not surprisingly, most of the televangelists ministries have been loath to cooperate with the inquiry. One in particular is pledging a holy war. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has gone after more than a few iconic nonprofits during his tenure atop the Finance Committee, including the Red Cross, Smithsonian and Harvard University. But now the Finance ranking member and former chairman may have met his match: televangelist Kenneth Copeland of the sprawling Kenneth Copeland Ministries based in Newark, Texas. In a Jan. 22 closed-circuit broadcast of his 2008 Ministers Conference obtained by Roll Call, Copeland pledges a holy war against Brother Grassley and the Senate for attempting to get a look at the controversial ministrys finances. Grassley wrote a Nov. 6 letter to Copeland and five other prominent ministers requesting a variety of financial information. You render unto the government what belongs to the government. And you render unto God what belongs to God, Copeland loudly intones to approving murmurs from the crowd of 1,000 ministers and their guests. Oh, the irony is rich. These TV preachers believe the separation of church and state is some kind of Satanic, communist plot to be rejected by decent people everywhere. That is, right up until a senator wonders if perhaps theyre abusing their tax-exempt status, at which point the churchstate wall is high and impregnable. Now, I should note that, as a rule, Im not inclined to have government officials poking around churches books unless the church is receiving tax dollars or is suspected of wrongdoing. In this case, the latter applies. Grassley contacted six ministries that has engaged in activities that certainly look like fraud. These tax-exempt ministries are required, by law, not to use donations from followers to enrich themselves, and theres considerable evidence that theyve done just that.
Its no wonder, then, that some of these Pentecostal televangelists are reluctant to share information with Grassley. Copeland seems to be quite the drama-queen about it. After a searing attack on Grassleys tactics which Copeland says were designed to sully his image and pressure him via the media Copeland says he will never provide information on his donors, even if he is ordered to do so by subpoena. You can go get a subpoena, and I wont give it to you! Copeland storms. Its not yours, its Gods and youre not going to get it and thats something Ill go to prison over. So, just get over it! he tells Grassley, jamming his finger into the air. And if theres a death penalty that applies, well just go for it! I see. As for the broader political context, because the six ministries involved are all mega-churches, filled with likely Republican voters, theres quite a bit of consternation about Grassleys inquiry. Doug Wead, head of evangelical outreach for ex-President George H.W. Bush, said the move threatens to fracture the tenuous coalition of Pentecostal and Baptist voters that supported President George W. Bush in his campaigns. He said the ministers see the probe as personal because Grassley is a Baptist and the churches are all Pentecostal. Grassley argues the inquiry is about tax-exempt policy and not religious doctrine. He says he did not know the churches denominations before the letters were sent. Hes dividing the base that George W. Bush had, Wead contended. Hes opened this deep fissure. If you look at it as a Republican, it looks disastrous. Well, thats certainly a good reason for a senator to look the other way on suspected fraud and abuse, isnt it? As for what kind of holy war these ministries might consider, we havent seen any details yet, but it should be interesting. Stay tuned. http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/14387.html Huckabee fundraiser held at Kenneth Copeland Ministries' campus by: Associated Press 1/29/2008 12:00 AM LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- A Christian nonprofit says a Texas televangelist turned a national ministers' gathering last week into a fundraising opportunity for Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, a newspaper reports. The Trinity Foundation, a charity that monitors televangelists and viewed a live Internet broadcast of the event, said the fundraiser took in $111,000 and generated pledges nearing $1 million, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported in a copyrighted article Tuesday. The fundraiser was held at Kenneth Copeland Ministries' campus in Newark, Texas. Russ Florence of Tulsa, a spokesman for Copeland, said in a statement that the event did not
amount to an endorsement of Huckabee by Kenneth Copeland Ministries. He said Huckabee's campaign rented one of the rooms after the ministers' conference and Kenneth Copeland Ministries did not make a contribution to Huckabee's campaign. "No offering was or has been taken for any political candidate by Kenneth Copeland Ministries or at a KCM event," Florence said. Huckabee campaign spokeswoman Alice Stewart said she could not confirm the amount raised, but said that Huckabee and Copeland spoke by phone last week. The former Arkansas governor also is an ordained Southern Baptist minister. "Basically, Kenneth Copeland simply asked him how he could pray for him and the governor asked him to pray for physical stamina for the team and the financial resources that they need each day," she said. "I'm not sure who called who." Huckabee's campaign released a statement saying it rented a room for "a separate event that was hosted by a private individual" and was not affiliated with Copeland's ministry. The campaign said the event conformed with campaign finance laws and tax regulations. The Trinity Foundation is helping in a Senate investigation, headed by Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee. Grassley began the probe into spending by Christian television ministries last year. Copeland's actions "should raise enormous red flags," said Trinity Foundation founder Ole Anthony. "This is not appropriate as a part of American church life or American politics." Copeland oversees a ministry with its own $17.5 million Cessna "Citation X" jet and its own private airport. In November, he gave Huckabee nearly a week of free airtime on The Believer's Voice of Victory telecast to talk about character and integrity. Copeland said at the time that he and his wife Gloria had donated $2,300 to Huckabee's campaign. Copyright 2008, World Publishing Co.

Billionaire evangelist oilman cattle rancher Kenneth Copeland, who sits so high atop the prosperity gospel pyramid that he has hundreds of franchise churches whose pastors send money back up the pipeline, spent much of his annual ministers conference last week talking about how he stonewalled the Senate Finance Committee, then boasted about having Mike Huckabee on his team. Kenneth Copeland, I will stand with you! Huckabee yelled over the phone, according to Copeland. Youre trying to get prosperity to the people, and theyre [the Senate] trying to take it away from em. I will stand with you anytime, anywhere, on any issue! You can watch the whole speech here, but basically Copeland is saying that he offered to hide his close relationship with Huckabeethe ex-governor had recently recorded a full week of televised Bible studies with Copeland, who constantly huckstered Huckabees ten-year-old bookbut Huckabee said he would gladly oppose the Senates investigation of Copeland and others because they only have an 11 percent approval rating. Every year Copeland invites about 1,000 fellow prosperity-gospel ministers to his church/broadcasting facility/ranch/natural gas field/airstrip in Newark, Texas, a few miles north of Fort Worth, for a three-day conference. This year he shut down the conference after two of the days and convened some kind of separate session with the same ministers that would protect his 501(3)(c) tax exemption while he raised campaign funds for Huckabee. Reports on Thursday morning were that hed come up with $111,000 in immediate cash, plus an additional million bucks in pledges, which would work out to around $1,000 per pastor. (These sorts of fundraising efforts with the Copeland family are fairly common. About 30 pastors raised $2.1 million for Copelands 70th birthday celebration a year ago.)
The Door left messages for Huckabee and his press secretary over the weekend, but they were not returned. Copeland spent much of the three-day ministers conference reassuring his fellow pastors that all their ministries were safe from the prying eyes of the Congress. He repeatedly made a distinction between the Congress and the Internal Revenue Service, saying that he recognized the executive branch but not the legislative when it came to oversight. He was especially upset by a request that he reveal the donors to a special offering made to himself and his wife for the 40th anniversary of their ministry and said that hed promised to God never to give any information to anyone about that, even if it means prison or death. He frequently mentioned receiving direct instructions from the Lord, including instructions to put Mike Huckabee on his television show, Believers Voice of Victory. During his six programs [1] with Huckabee, airing in November, the two men reminisced about their friendship and Huckabees political career in Arkansas, with occasional excursions into scripture. Neither of them distinguished themselves as Biblical scholars, but Huckabees comments were especially lame as he seemed to be sucking up to Brother Kenneth in discussing passages like James 1:3: It is the trying of your faith that works patience. Huckabees read on that passage was that he used to think trying meant a trial of faith. (This is what 99 percent of commentators for the past 2000 years have also believed it meant.) But then, the more he thought about it, the more he thought the key word was try. It meant to keep trying, and every time you fail, to try again. I tried tithing and it didnt work. Well, try it again. I tried it three or four times. Well, try it again. Huckabees view: it doesnt mean to be patient when God sends trials, it means to assert yourselfin other words, the opposite of its apparent meaning. Since the Greek word for try as in trial and the Greek word for try as in attempt are two different words, Huckabees exegesis of this particular scripture is not only demonstrably wrong as a matter of fact, but he seems to be insisting on it as a way to support Copelands emphasis on tithing, which is the source of his fortune. There are other examples scattered through the week, including some statements by Huckabee that, no matter what office he holds, my only client is Jesus. Other highlights from the ministers conference: Copeland seems puzzled by the fact that Senator Charles Grassley, who is spearheading the Senate investigation, was also the author of the Church Protection Act. Copeland talks about his natural gas company [2] and says that the Senates suspicions about the source of that wealth are bull. Copelands characterization of his answer to Senator Grassley: We gave them a several page lesson on No. . . . We gave them the address of the Internal Revenue Service in Washington, D.C. Copeland assures everyone that hes personally been a billionaire [3] a long time and that his ministry has taken in $1.3 billion over 41 years. Im the seed of Abraham. The seed of Abraham are known for being rich. Im a Jew. Im a rich Jew backed by a richer Jew. [4] God loves me just as much as he loves Jesus.

January 30, 2008 TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA Prime Minister Stephen Harper Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa K1A 0A2 pm@pm.gc.ca Subject: Why would religious leaders of Pentecostal family run and owned ministries, who are not only arrogant and proud, think they are accountable only to God not others when their own bible tells us Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities? Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Members of Parliament and the News media, For the good of all Canadians could you please answer the following important questions that affect all of us in one way or another? Why would religious leaders of Pentecostal family run and owned ministries, such as Benny Hinn, Rodney Howard Browne, Kenneth Copeland, Peter Marshall, John Arnott, Richard Roberts, Jim Paul, etc. who are not only arrogant and proud think they are accountable only to God not others when their own bible tells us Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities? What gives these religious leaders the right to practice lawlessness?
Why do these religious leaders think that God only speaks to them and not to others? Why do these religious leaders think that others cannot speak on behalf of God but only them? Why do these religious leaders think they have the right to hide their total compensation and those of their family and friends from their donors or the public when their nonprofit status is given by the public and the total compensation of the Prime Minister of Canada or the President of United States is not hidden from anyone? Why do these religious leaders think they can have a board of directors composed of family, friends and paid staff instead of an board of independent people full of integrity? Why do these religious hypocritical leaders believe they are better than everybody else and practice double standards? Double stands such as Pastors Benny Hinn, John Arnott and Steve Long of TACF, think that they can lie, slander and sue others but nobody can sue them? (http://tacf.tripod.com/kamtacf.pdf) Who do these religious leaders cook their accounting books such as Richard Roberts is alleged to have done or Jim Bakker did and was sent to prison as a result? Why do these religious leaders think they are men of integrity when facts speak otherwise?
So for the good of all Canadians and others please answer these question and investigate all of these thieving, lying, scoundrels? Yes, checkout, investigate and deal with all Pentecostal Family Owned and Run Ministries in Canada including Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, the Prayer Palace in Toronto, Victory International Church in Hamilton, and 100 Huntley Street in Burlington, just like United States Senator Mr. Grassley is doing and as a result news media coverage of the letters to the six ministries, his office has been flooded with calls about them and other church organizations, too, the aides said. In other words the New York Times told us there is a serious problem with lack of transparency and accountability with Ministries in America!

80 Wellington Street Ottawa K1A 0A2 pm@pm.gc.ca Subject: The Pastors of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship need to be put in jail and their article of incorporation as a nonprofit corporation removed Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Members of Parliament and the News media, Jesus Christ the author of the Christian Faith told us He came to preach good tidings to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and open the prison to those who are bound. He didnt come to do what Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long of Toronto Christian Fellowship are doing, tell lies, slander, backstab, sue, destroy and try to put a total stranger, Walter Kambulow, in jail because He was exposing them to be liars, hypocrites, thieves, and rapists who set up and were using their nonprofit corporation to their advantage and all the time claiming they were a Christian Church that had come to heal and deliver others! They have proved themselves to be real hypocrites in that these employees of a religious nonprofit corporation are presently on a luxury Ocean Cruise while they are using the services of high priced Bay Street lawyers to sue on their behalf by remote control a total stranger by twisting his words and making outrages claims about him and his family including: Walter is as bad as they come He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of. The way that he slanders his wife in public is horendous. and if he had been a part of our church, which he wasn't; I wold be all over for him for slander. ; He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to himHe was a former member of TACF He is divorced But these same employees are appealing the right of the stranger to sue them and have his day in court? Why? Because: They are benevolent dictators who rule on behalf of God? They alone are gods who are right in all things? They alone determine what is truth or what justice can be served? They alone know the truth and can tell others what to do? They are Gods representative on earth and are accountable to no one but God? They are money changers and self appointed rulers who cannot be questioned by no one? They can rule and control anybody any way they like just like they rule and control their family owned and run nonprofit corporation loaded with a board of directors composed of personally chosen family, friend and staff to bank roll a lavish life style including trips around the world for themselves, their family and staff, under the guise of ministry?
They are hypocrites who have different rules for themselves and for others?
Its to be noted that Pentecostal Preacher Jim Bakker was not put in jail for his sexual misconduct but for misappropriating PTL resources for their own personal use and the payment of huge salaries and bonuses which were far more serious charges than the allegations of sexual misconduct. The Bakkers had also appointed a rubber-stamp board of directors to oversee their management practices. In return for acquiescing to Jim and Tammy's whims, several of these board members received tens of thousands of dollars in fees, bonuses, and contributions to their own projects. In 1986 the Bakkers were paid $1.9 million; since 1984, a total of $4.8 million had been paid to them. In addition, PTL monies were used for expensive homes, a palatial suite at the Heritage Grand Hotel, automobiles, lavish wardrobes, vacations, and parties. The Bakkers' closest associates were privy to their high living at the expense of PTL partners. They, too, were well paid. Reverend Richard Dortch, the Assemblies of God minister who many thought had brought some order and organization to the rapidly growing Heritage USA operations, was paid $240,000 in 1985 and $350,000 in 1986. He received approximately $270,000 during the first three months of 1987 before Falwell sacked him. David Taggart, a twenty-nine-year-old "personal aide" to Bakker, received $360,000 in 1986; Jim Bakker's personal secretary received $160,000. And then there were "consultants." James Taggart, interior decorator and David Taggart's brother, was paid $10,000 a month, but, according to the new PTL management, he had performed no services "for months."' Peter B. Teeley, press secretary to George Bush until 1984, was paid $120,000 for eighteen months to serve as a Washington "liaison"; apparently there were no written records of any services performed. [viii] Yes Pentecostal Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long are misusing this family owned and run religious nonprofit corporation to sue a private individual for fifty million dollars because they upset that he has been calling for real transparency, accountability and integrity from their nonprofit corporation and a total investigation by the Department of Justice of TACFs and John Arnott finances and accounting books! Nonprofit corporations, especially religious ones, cannot exist or be run by family and friends for the benefit of a selected few nor can they have family, friends or staff on their board of directors. Nor can they be money making machines or cash cows for is founders to finance their high life style and give them a living that is beyond the means of most Canadians. We cannot have different rules for different folks or allows hireling and wolves to operate unchecked and at will to do their thing and rob, rape and use the sheep be it only financially! Contrary to Pauls words Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others TACF and its Pastors have not been like the Good Samaritan that Jesus talked about who spent his own money to help the poor man who was robbed and beaten and left at wayside to die but have uses the money given to them in trust by the dumb sheep to try and
destroy a private individual and his family with a $50 million dollar lawsuit and mean and evil motion that requested that Walter Kambulow be put in jail. Where is the love in all of this never mind their so called good deeds of Christianity in action? TACF and its Pastors have shown themselves to be non-Christians and not Christians in any sense of the word unless murder, raping, killing, lying, slandering, stealing are what professing Christians are supposed to do? Since when is it permissible in our society to have a so called Christian church continually stonewall somebody or sue him or her for $ 50 million dollars? It is not permissible! TACF and its Pastors have not laid down their life for Walter Kambulow and have ignored what Apostle John told them - We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.. TACF has demonstrated that it has no love and is hateful, selfish, greedy, arrogant, proud and self centered and doesnt deserve to exist or to be considered as a Christian Church never mind a religious nonprofit corporation. As a result its Article of Incorporation must be removed by the Federal Government. Anybody with brains knows that a true Christian church cannot sue people? Anybody with brains knows that a proven liars and slanderers even if they are pastors cannot sue somebody else for slander? So why is Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship a Christian Church and nonprofit organization along with its founder Pastor John Arnott and Senior Pastor Steve Long suing Walter Kambulow, Engineer, for $ 50 million dollar and has requested the court to put him in jail because he refuses to be gagged by them? Also why is TACF and its pastors appealing Justice Clarkes decision of January 15, 2008 to allow Walter Kambulow to counter sue them for $ 100 million? Yes, Justice Clark also ordered TACF to submit a Statement of Defence to Walter Kambulow by January 30,2008 and TACF is doing everything in its power not to comply with Justice Clark order????? So how come these liars, thieves, scoundrels are showing double standards and dont care about the law or justice or truth except to get their own way at all costs! Is it because they are not a true Christian church and have no integrity? It seems that way Yes, its not a very Christian thing for Pentecostal Evangelical pastors to do who are supposed to be honest, loving, caring, truthful men of integrity without any deceit or hatefulness to try to derive Walter Kambulow from suing them and having his date in court for their proven lies and slander and backstabbing? How come Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship cannot play fair and has to use every trick in the book to stop Walter Kambulow?
But what do you want from wolves in sheeps clothing: So again for the good of all Canadians checkout, investigate and deal with all Pentecostal Family Owned and Run Ministries in Canada including Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, the Prayer Palace in Toronto, Victory International Church in Hamilton, and 100 Huntley Street in Burlington, just like United States Senator Mr. Grassley is doing and as a result news media coverage of the letters to the six ministries, his office has been flooded with calls about them and other church organizations, too, the aides said. In other words the New York Times told us there is a serious problem with lack of transparency and accountability with Ministries in America! Thank You!

Chapter 12
Cash Cow IS TACF is a typical North American Prominent Pentecostal family run and owned ministry/church, a money making business, a cash cow for its elite benevolent rulers, its board of directors are composed of family members and staff who rubber stamp the wishes of the founder and should be thoroughly investigated by the governments and news media just like its friends are being investigated, including Benny Hinn and Richard Roberts who are not men of integrity! Your honor, there are more things than moneytruth, honesty and justice. He [Strader] hasnt been honest, and he is seeking to avoid justice with money. (Assistant state Attorney Wayne Durden, Polk County, Florida at the sentencing of Dan Strader, 1995) The name Strader carries weight in charismatic circles. Strader, 72, has been pastor of Carpenters Home for 35 years and has ministered at various churches nationwide. A Pentecostal church under the Assemblies of God denomination, Carpenters Home has owned radio stations, hosted concerts and conferences featuring big names in Christianity, such as evangelist Rodney Howard-Browne, gospel singer CeCe Winans and Christian music artists Jars of Clay and Michael W. Smith reported the St. Petersburg Times.
But the past 15 years have also carried controversy. Some Assemblies of God leaders, including televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, have publicly questioned Strader's theological teachings, according to the Lakeland Ledger. "We've been to hell and back," Strader said during a recent church service. About 800 of Strader's members left to form their own church in 1989, after a dispute over his leadership. Then in 1994, Strader's son, Daniel, was arrested on fraud charges. He was convicted the next year and is serving a 45-year sentence in federal prison. A small number of fraud victims were members of the church, causing further tension. Strader said he believed his son was innocent and was treated unfairly by the system. But his son's appeals have been denied. Strader asked members of Without Walls to pray for his son's release, saying seven years behind bars was enough for a "white collar crime." At one time membership rolls swelled to about 5,000. Strader and a jubilant congregation had the 10,000-seat auditorium built, believing that in time it would be filled to capacity. Instead, attendance dwindled. Published the St. Petersburg Times August 12, 2002 The problem with lying and thieving preachers in America is that they all preach to others but never listen to others. They are after all better than their sheep? Someone should tell preachers such as Karl Strader, Benny Hinn and Randy White, who said I was demon possessed and needed to get a life because I don't do what they did, that robbing and raping the money and well being of the sheep under their care is not just a "white collar crime." They should read their own bible that they talk so much about and see what God said to Eli and his raping and thieving sons: Then a man of God came to Eli and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: 'Did I not clearly reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house? 'Did I not choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer upon My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod before Me? And did I not give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire? 'Why do you kick at My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling place, and honor your sons more than Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?' "Therefore the LORD God of Israel says: 'I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever.' But now the LORD says: 'Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed. 1 Samuel 2:27-30 Carpenter's Home Finances In our local news recently is a report that the Carpenter's Home Church, under the leadership of Karl Strader, will be sold. I wish The Ledger would investigate and publish the finances of this deal. The Carpenter's Home Church started out as an Assembly of God church before Karl Strader took control. I have relatives who were members of that church since the 1940s, and they helped pay for it. I have visited often in the past and heard many of Rev. Strader's sermons. I was puzzled why he often said in his sermons that anyone who disagreed with him should not make a fuss, just walk out the back door and leave. His congregation has now dwindled down and he is left with a multimilliondollar facility. My relatives left after Rev. Strader became a more-autocratic minister, there were questions about his family being given jobs at the church and his son was convicted of defrauding church
members (mostly elderly ones) out of their life savings. It seems to me part of the problem is that the Assembly of God denomination allows ministers to preside over board meetings instead of a church member, as in other more democratically operated Protestant churches. Nonetheless, it was good Assembly of God people who paid for that Carpenter's Home Church property, and any benefits from the sale should go to the Assembly of God denomination. The question before the public is, will it? TRAVIS EPSHIRE Published The Ledger Saturday, August 31, 2002 Since the Garden of Eden, man has proclaimed his innocence and has refused to accept responsibility for his sins and deeds. However, the bible clearly gives us a solution in receiving with meekness the implanted Word, which is able to save our souls. Then it clearly tells us to be doers of the Word and not hearers only thereby deceiving ourselves. Unfortunately, as documented by the Strader Affair, there were many who were deceived but very few who were doers of the Word as defined by the History of the Revival of 1992-1995 6. Karl Strader taken from a web site: In February of 1993, Karl Strader, pastor of Carpenters Home Church in Lakeland, Florida, and his wife, Joyce, were in Hawaii for a Worship 93 conference, where Norvel Hayes prophesied that a tremendous great wind of the Spirit was about to come to them. Joyce Strader wrote in Ministries Today (July/August 1993, p. 38), We arrived home Saturday night. That Sunday morning Carpenters Home Church began a planned one-week series of meetings with South African evangelist Rodney Howard-Browne But God had a surprise for us. The meetings went on for four weekswith thousands flocking to the church to see and taste the new move of God.... But God never intended for it to last only a week. Full-blown revival has come to Central Florida and Carpenters Home Church. During the first few months of 1993, Rodney Howard-Browne spent a total of thirteen weeks at that church, and Christian leaders from many parts of the United States, including Richard Roberts, chancellor of Oral Roberts University, came to the meetings to observe and participate, and minister in the new anointing. Charisma (Aug 1994, p. 24), stated that people flew in for these meetings from Africa, Great Britain, and Argentina to see what was happening. The effect of this so called revival in Carpenters Home Church and its lasting impact on the community, as documented by this book, included the robbing, raping and murdering of innocent God fearing elderly people by the Straders. Also, on Monday morning, May 20, 1996, I heard on the radio a company had reprinted a 1987 advertisement in the newspapers mocking Jim and Tammy Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart. To me this is not a coincidence that many are now waking up to the fact that a very small religious, arrogant and hypocritical denominationThe Assembly of God, produced the three Musketeers: Bakker (1987), Swaggart (1988), and Strader (1989). Together, these so called men of God have robbed, raped and even murdered the defenseless elderly people in their communities and affected many lives across America. We all like the pleasant things of God and life, and shy away from unpleasant and controversial
things, such as the present day sins of the pastors and evangelists in this great land. We say things such as touch not Gods anointed and some of us worship them as kings. The Prophet Isaiah reminded us: Be a shelter to them from the face of the spoiler. For the extortioner is at an end, devastation ceases, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. (Isaiah 16:4) Sometimes, others see and know more about the truth of the Kings of Israel and others in that they were largely spoilers, thieves, liars and oppressors. Not all Kings in Israel in bible times were good and kind; most of them were terribly wicked and despots. As a denomination, the Assembly of God has not accepted responsibility for the actions of their prominent members in their organization. It has done nothing to bring justice and healing to the real victims in these cases. Instead, they it has chosen to console and comfort the aggressors, the noble ones, and the perpetrators of the crimes. The victims were mostly elderly people, who didnt have the physical strength or financial resources to fight back and recover what they lost. The other fact of the matter is that because of the accurate reporting of the Ledger and The Tampa Tribune, in central Florida, in 1994-95, concerning Daniel Strader, Alice Faye Redd, the Assembly of God ministers and pastors and what went on at Carpenters Home Church, many people were justifiable upset with those who piously talked about God from their high places but behind the scenes did hypocritical things. As a result, they wanted nothing to do with God or Christians. What was not right and unfair was that such a small number of people should do so much damage to other peoples lives and to the Kingdom of God? The Tampa Tribune ran a typical story in June 1996, about a Pastor in Lakeland who lied on his resume to get his pastoral job. He stated he had two degrees, which was not true. When the pastor was exposed he didnt resign but stayed on and caused the church to split. We were to learn the hard way about how a church split is often the result of a crooked and corrupt pastor. This was true in Lakeland and was nothing new. It had happened long before we arrived in Florida. In like manner, the hierarchy of a denomination can become equally corrupt and crooked. However, when you have a church organization made up of honest and God-fearing people, full of integrity and accountability, it doesnt matter which system predominates. When an organization is made up of dishonest and corrupt people, it still doesnt matter which system is in operation because it will affect everyone. The same holds true for all forms of government both State and Federal. We live in a day and age where many religious Christian organizations and churches been exposed, have tumbled and fallen because of financial mismanagement and serious accusations, that have been made by the media about some of the leaders and directors of these nonprofit organizations and corporations. Independent ministers have become offensive to the secular world and to some Christians, and we are sure there will be others. There have even been grand jury investigations and indictments of people such as Jim Bakker and Dr. Henry J. Lyons - men we would never have believed would have committed sexual and financial improprieties. The St. Petersburg Times and the Tampa Tribune reported almost daily about Lying Lyons. The Born Again Rev. Henry Lyons, former head of the National Baptist Convention, was sentenced to 5 years in prison for his convictions on state charges of racketeering and grand
theft. Lyons, 57, had been one of the most influential black religious leaders in the United States, overseeing one of the largest church organizations of African-Americans. Lyons was convicted in February 1999 of swindling more than $4 million from companies that wanted to market life insurance, credit cards and cemetery plots to his convention members. Prosecutors said Lyons padded the conventions mailing list with names randomly selected from phone books across the country. Even a grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan was on the list. Judge Schaeffer ordered Lyons to pay $2.5 million in restitution to the companies who bought his phony mailing lists and to pay $97,000 for the cost of the state probe into his dealings. Lyons and his alleged mistress, convention publicist Bernice Edwards, were accused of spending much of the ill-gotten money on a lavish lifestyle, including fancy cars, jewelry and a pricey waterfront home. Edwards was acquitted on state charges, but she pleaded guilty in federal court to tax evasion. A few weeks after Lyons was convicted in state court, he resigned as head of the National Baptist Convention. He pleaded guilty to federal charges of tax evasion, fraudulent activities and lying to officials. On his income tax, as a preacher, Lyons only declared $ 110,000 as gross and $ 20,000 as net when $ 4.5 million went through his hands. We were to find that integrity among preachers in America was almost nonexistent, especially when it came to money! Lyons friend and mentor Jesse Jackson, also a friend of adulterous lying President Bill Clinton, was no different. The news media reported in January 2001 that using the ministry funds over the course of seven years Pentecostal Jim Bakker paid his lady friend about one- half ($265,000) of what Baptist Jesse Jackson admitted to paying his mistress in two years ($472,000) -- and about one-third of what the National Enquirer reported Jackson has paid ($640,000). Because of the separation of church and state, religious non-profit organizations are hardly every audited and get away with murder. Since 1994, the Lakeland Ledger, the Tampa Tribune and the St. Petersburg Times all have had many stories about born again evangelicals who say the love the Lord but do terrible and wicked things to Gods people. Stories about religious evangelicals like the Straders of the 10,000-seat Carpenters Home Church in Lakeland, Florida who conducted a Ponzi scheme and stole from poor defenseless elderly. Senior pastor Karl Strader gave his son advice on whom to rob or not to rob by means of a Ponzi scheme. Pastor Karl Strader, a board member of Oral Roberts University, was a graduate of Bob Jones University, the same university that Fundamentalist Evangelist Billy Graham graduated from. Bob Jones University in South Carolina, a fundamentalist Christian college and a bastion of Independent Fundamental Baptists, has banned interracial dating and has been attacked by critics for anti-Catholic views. The school lost its tax exemption in 1983 after a 13-year battle with the Internal Revenue, when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an IRS decision critical of its discriminatory practices. BJU now admits blacks but keeps the ban on interracial dating based on a biblical interpretation that God created people differently for a reason.
Bob Jones University leaders have criticized the pope and labeled the Catholic church a ``Satanic cult'' say that the pope is the antichrist, forbid interracial dating, and teaches that speaking in tongues as a result of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is of the devil! Bob Jones University teach and say that they are bible believers and that their local church is the only "true church of Jesus Christ." BJU has posted on its website: Bob Jones University is the world's largest Fundamental service organization to local churches and related ministries. Pastors obviously trust BJU with their studentsstudents come from nearly 2,000 local churches. They return to their churches (or churches in other regions) better equipped to serve Christ, and pastors know it. BJU has trained more pastors than probably any other Fundamental college or university. Our graduates make up much of the leadership of Biblical Daniel Strader, 37, was sentenced to 45 years in prison in August 1995. He was convicted of 238 felony counts for bilking 57 mostly elderly investors, some members of the church, out of $2.3 million by selling investments in properties that didnt exist or already had liens against them. The leadership of the Assembly of God denomination both in Lakeland and Missouri would not accept the testimony of Roy Aldrich that he was robbed and raped by money changers and wolves in sheeps clothing in the house of God. But the State of Florida who cared about justice, righteousness and truth accepted the words and testimony of Roy Aldrich about the Straders. The State prosecutors proved their case and convinced the jurors that Dan Strader devised an elaborate scheme to attract cash in the real-estate and mortgage investments. He was selling the securities without a license and that the securities were unregistered. This was done in an organized method amounting to Racketeer-Influence and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO Act. Jim Bakker helped dedicate Carpenters Home Church in Lakeland, Florida in 1985. Bakker said Straders wife, Joyce, wrote him a letter once a week while he was in prison. I was one of those who helped him build PTL, said Karl Strader, and I never did know what he did wrong, frankly. And if he did do something wrong, I forgive him, and I know everybody else here forgives him, said Strader. Bakker, 54, was convicted in 1989 of defrauding 116,000 followers who sent him at least $1,000 each in return for promised lodging at his religious/recreational complex, Heritage USA near Charlotte, N.C. During his trial, prosecutors said the scheme brought about $158 million into the Praise the Lord television ministry that Bakker and his former wife, Tammy Faye, founded in 1972. Who would have believed that the Strader name in Lakeland, Florida, would become associated with fraud and racketeering? In New York, the President of a major national nonprofit organization had to step down because of proven misuse of funds. People who profess their innocence the most, like Jim Bakker and Daniel Strader, receive the longest prison sentences at first because neither God who rules in heaven and earth, or the Judge who acts on his behalf is ignorant of the truth. Both received the same number of years when sentenced forty-five years, which in itself speaks volumes. However, whenever such people admit their guilt, their prison sentences are reduced hopefully by Gods grace. For too long we have sat back and accepted this situation, and let others look into the allegations
of wrong doings. Then we are all surprised that some of these allegations turned out to be true. Unfortunately for us, power and greed corrupts people who have been in their position too long and assume it is their God-given right to do as they please. Many organizations including the Senate and the House of Representatives are plagued with those who have been there too long and begin to abuse their privileges and rights. Nonprofit religious and charitable organizations are no exception and suffer from the same problems human dilemma. There is a thread of corruption, greed, evil and preying on the weak and misfortunate by local pastors, like Karl Strader; to prominent national Assembly of God ministers, like Bakker and Swaggart, within the Assembly of God organization itself that is based on connections and influence and is devoid of honesty, truth, integrity and righteousness. The nice meek people like Roy and Patricia and Associate Pastor Jim who caused the 1989 split at Carpenters Home Church. (May I add it was a direct result of Jim having the nerve to rebuke the Pastors son and son-in-law for their misuse of church properties as though they were their own.) Unfortunately, many innocent people dont have a chance to receive real justice and equity when they are among wolves in sheeps clothing. The money that flows through Carpenters Home Church and the Assembly of God denomination, as well as other denominations in America and is not openly accounted for, is in the hundreds of millions of dollars per year, and offers religious politicians and unscrupulous scoundrels a gold mine or cash cow as Roy called it. Some of the things that go on in AG (Assembly of God) CHC (Carpenters Home Church) and Baptist Christians make the soap operas on television appear mild in comparison. More money is embezzled from the church each year ($16 billion) than is given to foreign missions ($15 billion) reported the newly published second edition of the World Christian Encyclopedia. The exhaustive survey of global Christianity contains some good news. It notes that Christianity has become the most extensive and universal religion in history, with some 2 billion adherentsone in three of the worlds populationat the start of the new millennium. The last century has also seen a huge shift in the racial makeup of believers globally, from 81 percent white in 1900 to 55 percent non-white last year. The charismatic renewal has also been a major influence in the last 100 years, with 520 million current members of Pentecostal and charismatic denominations and movements. Almost 800 million people have been touched by the Spirit since 1900. But the fine print of the massive publication also contains some disturbing information. Among the startling findings of the research team is that: More money is embezzled from the church each year ($16 billion) than is given to foreign missions ($15 billion).
Consider this fact that in a one year period of 8/31/1998 to 8/31/1999 Campus Crusade for Christ, Inc., a California not-for-profit corporation in theory run and owned by Evangelical Preacher Bill Bright, spent $29,416,000 to raise $314,959,000. Would Jesus Christ have done this? (Mind Jesus Christ did not keep His total salary a secret like Bill Bright has continually done!) CCC is in theory an interdenominational Christian evangelistic and discipiling ministry with the objective of helping the local church and other organizations fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) in this generation BUT TONGUE-SPEAKERS ARE NOT WELCOMED nor MIRACLES and HEALINGS! Even though Jesus Christ healed the sick, cast out devils and drove money changers out of the House of God with a whip! Founder and Chairman Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ who along with his wife makes up fifty percent of the board of directors of this nonprofit religious organization wears thousand dollars suits and claims to make on forty thousand dollars are year. But of course, unlike President Bush or other public servants, Bill Bright doesnt release his total compensation to his donors or the public and definitely not his personal income tax! Because of the separation of the church and state in the American Constitution, the American Evangelical religious leaders such as Bill Bright, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Charles Stanley, Louis Paula and Billy and Franklin Graham have a field day in stealing money from the sheep in the name of the one who would never do such a thing. They have developed an art in legally being wolves in sheeps clothing that is not allowed in Canada, England or other industrial educated countries. For there is no one to police American TV Evangelists who are usually of Baptist or Pentecostal backgrounds and have no open integrity when it comes to money. It is a fact that none of the prominent evangelical leaders in America reveal their total compensation to their donors. The selfishness and greed of these Evangelical Christians who have done things that others, who are not religious would think twice to do. This is what this book is all about - the selfishness, greed and corruption of so-called Christian leaders in America today. In United States, in the last few years, many evangelical churches and religious organizations have gotten together because of a religious scandal in Texas, involving Larry Lea of On the Rock Church, W. A. Grant and Robert Tilton of Dallas. The television media brought it out, and while others such as Dr. Billy Graham who was most hurt by it formed an organization called Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability insisting accountability and financial responsibility in religious organizations so there would be no cause for offense in anything or needless loss of money. Apostle Paul wrote: We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. (2 Corinthians 6:3) Avoiding this: that anyone should blame us in this lavish gift which is administered by us. (2 Corinthians 8:20) Christian Religionists, Evangelicals, Baptists, Charismatic and Pentecostals, all teach, that as stewards of God, everything we have belongs to Him and it is very important that we provide:
Honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. (2 Corinthians 8:21) Yet, very few churches and religious organizations, who although they state they believe the bible and the importance to provide honorable things, most of them dont belong to an organization that practices financial responsibility and open accountability. Also, they keep the salary of the senior pastor of the Church or the senior evangelist, a secret. Why? I cant answer that, but I do know it does give offense, in the secular and religious world. If you are honorable there is no reason not to reveal your income if it is within acceptable norms. The salaries of other public servants, including the President of United States and the first Lady, are known. In an intelligent society such as ours, any church or organization that is not openly accountable, shouldnt be soliciting money from its members or adherents, who are the public at large. Somehow, all churches and church corporations should be warned and told they must be accountable, and be open and do all things above board where possible. Hence, as a news reporter and editor rather than a theologian or gifted one, I have tried to report and make comments on events that actually happened rather than what should have happened. Many have come to realize and appreciate, that in America in the 80s, there was a minority of pastors and evangelists, belonging to a minority denomination, the Assembly of God, who caused the majority of religious scandals that affected all the Christians in America. Arrogant, rebellious and scandalous people like Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart and Pastor Karl Strader, who were Born Again Evangelicals. It would be wrong to generalize and to associate all pastors or evangelists with these troublemakers. Nevertheless, we had personally written randomly to over two hundred and fifty evangelists and pastors in America concerning the Strader Affair and not one offered to help us in anyway. But some were very keen to criticize and say awful and nasty things about us without verifying the truth. However, we wrote to secular people and they were more than happy to help and assist us in anyway that they could. Ironic, isnt it? Many of these pastors and evangelists live and behave like kings of their own kingdoms, rather than like servants of the living God, as they should be. Humility and submission are words they must reintroduce into their own vocabulary and lives before they teach others. Contrary to many pastors and evangelists point of view, we as Christians dont exist primarily to serve them or to give them money but to serve the King of kings and Lord or lords. In our Heavenly Fathers eyes, we are all equally important. He has no favorites and is definitely not a respecter of persons -although, some pastors and evangelists would like us to believe otherwise. We have over us only one King and His Name is Jesus. We are all bondservants to each other in the body of Christ, not just in words but in deeds. Pastors and evangelists are not and never were meant to be kings over us or over anyone else for the matter. They are there to serve us and not we to serve themselves. The prominent Pentecostal and charismatic evangelists and pastors, especially in AG, who dont know what the word integrity means should look it up in the American Heritage Dictionary,
which defines it as: Probity, complete and confirmed integrity; uprightness, of principles and practices: honesty, honor, honorableness, incorruptibility, uprightness, moral soundness, virtue, purity, morality. Also, integrity corresponds with fact or truth: veracity, accuracy, correctness, faithfulness, fidelity, truthfulness, honesty, frankness, openness, sincerity, exactness, verity, exactitude, and precision. Also, it defines integrity as the moral quality of a course of action, morality, moralness, ethicalness, propriety, righteousness, rightness and the state of being whole: completeness, entirety, oneness, totality and wholeness. However, on the other side of the coin the words associated with the opposite of integrity are: duplicity, deceit, immorality, dishonor, untruthfulness, deception, deceit, falsehood, fabrication, unethicalness, impropriety, partiality and incompleteness. The latter things can be easily associated with Evangelical pastors, such as Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, Karl Strader, Dr. Henry J. Lyons, Dr. Bill Bright, Pat Robertson, Oral Roberts, Kenneth Copeland, and Dr. Billy Graham . In other words, if we have faith we will have integrity, responsibility and accountability. These are words that are missing in many of our churches in America. But a real man or woman of God, will be just, righteous, honest, a nonoppressor, a restorer, will execute true judgment, feed the hungry, cover the naked and will act and do right things for a start and not just preach and talk about it all like some do in AG. However, for the record and to my knowledge, there has been no acknowledgment or acceptance of any responsibility by the prominent Men of Integrity in the Assembly of God, concerning the deeds and actions of AG Pastors like Karl Strader and Jim Bakker, whose leadership has resulted in many poor and defenseless elderly people being raped, murdered and robbed. Roy and Patricia Aldrich of Lakeland, a wonderful couple, were among the elderly who were members of the Assembly of God and Carpenters Home Church who were deeply hurt. Roy had written to important and influential people at AG, including District Superintendent Don Lunsford and General Superintendent Thomas Trask, requesting their help concerning Pastor Karl Strader. America has many rebellious preachers and teachers, who call themselves Christians and say that they speak the bible, in His anointing and power, but their actual personal lives and deeds speak the opposite. This is what the Strader Affair is about: The Real Facts about The Strader Affair The Perpetrators of the Crimes The Charade and Foolish Virgins The Innocent Defenseless Victims The Foul and Evil Deeds by Wolves in Sheeps Clothing The Cover Up and Stonewalling The Letters and Answers The Inequity and Injustices Men of Integrity and The Assembly Of God The Trial and Sentencing The Work and Accountability
A chaplain wrote to me in January 1996 and stated: Also, a couple of months back I saw a prominent A/G minister from the Orlando area, I think his name was Charles Groden (something like that), who was caught on video tape dancing with nude women in a strip joint in Orlando. District Superintendent Terry Raburn was on T.V. saying that the pastor denied the charges and said that it wasnt him and he had been set up by a look-alike. Inside Edition then put the minister on split screen in pulpit and in the bar. It was definitely him or a cleverly edited tape or a twin brother. It has to be him. The report went on to say that Groden(?) was involved in a drug deal gone bad and a pistol whipping of another man. Police identified him as one of three men present at the pistol whipping incident. God bless you! We have learnt something interesting about many Pastors, Preachers, Superintendents, and Evangelists in America? They want everybody to believe and listen to their words but they will not believe and listen to the words of others. All of this shows typical double standards and hypocrisy of religionists or Pharisees of our day and of the day that existed when Jesus walked among them as a man.

Subject: TACF a religious nonprofit corporation has sued in the civil commercial superior court of Ontario for $50 million dollars a private individual Walter Kambulow???????????????? Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Members of Parliament, Contrary to the teaching s of Jesus, TACF a religious nonprofit corporation, a Christian Church, has sued in the civil commercial superior court of Ontario for $50 million dollars a private individual Walter Kambulow to silence him from telling the Canadian Government and others that Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship is in reality a profit corporation set up to benefit solely its founders, a family run and owned ministry whose board of directors is composed improperly of family, friends and staff and not others. It doesnt exist to benefit the public but solely its founders! In other words they are literally wolves in sheeps clothing who dont exist for the welfare of the sheep. (http://cnt10.tripod.com/tblaw.htm http://cnt10.tripod.com/tb.htm) Hence since TACFs nonprofit status comes from the public it must be removed because we cannot have in Canada a multimillion dollar corporation who in reality is supposed to be a Christian Church using its resources, power and money to sue, silence or destroy a private individual who has blown the whistle on Pentecostal family run and owned corporations/ministries in Canada and Unites States including 100 Huntley Street of Burlington, Prayer Palace of Toronto, Victory International Church of Hamilton, Benny Hinn Ministries, and Oral Roberts Evangelist Organization. In United States today there is a Senate investigation into whether six celebrity Pentecostal preachers violated their organizations' tax-exempt status by living lavishly on the backs of small donors and in this land of freedom, liberty and justice we cannot have prominent Pentecostal Televangelists in the U.S. or Canada praying with and preying on the sheep! CBC television has done an extensive documentary on Evangelist Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn of World Healing Center Church Inc. and Benny Hinn Ministries of Grapevine, Texas, and his use of a private jet, a home in Dana Point, Calif. and "layover trips" while traveling on ministry business. Hinn also does not respond to requests for comments or other matters because they are Super Gods or Anointed Ones who are only accountable to God and not others, just like TACF. See http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/main_miracles.html Benny Hinn, the liar, the fool, and the thief, is the mentor and friend of John Arnott the founding pastor of TACF The Toronto Airport Church is located in Etobicoke, Canada; The church is famous for the Toronto blessing, an experiential religious activity which spread amongst the Charismatic church world-wide.see http://www.grmi.org/Richard_Riss/history/arnott.html http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/bhinn.html Many have a problem with the elitism that the Toronto Blessing seems to bring with it. Those who do not embrace this movement are not only made to feel like Second Class Christians but are shown no tolerance for questioning it.
The church has presently filed a $50 million dollar suit against Walter Kambulow, a private individual to purposely silence him from revealing to the public what his years of investigation of Pentecostal family run and owned ministries in America like TACF are all about! See http://cnt10.tripod.com/tblaw.htm http://cnt10.tripod.com/tb.htm http://betrayaltoday.tripod.com/betrayal.htm http://crooksaog.tripod.com/ http://www.hiddenmysteries.org/religion/pentecostal/godfraud.shtml Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a nonprofit, religious corporation, has also gone to the Supreme Court of Ontario again to try and silence Walter Kambulow from exercising his right of sending emails to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Members of Parliament, the news media, and others TACF are upset with the email of November 14, 2007 sent to the Prime Minister of Canada, Members of Parliament, news media and others about Six charismatic (Pentecostal ) ministries are under the microscope as a U.S. Senate committee scrutinizes their spending practices. Is this from the devilor God? They are also very upset that Mr. Kambulow is requesting that The Government of Canada should immediately look into the real reasoning and desire of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a family run and owned nonprofit corporation and in theory a church, contrary to their own Christian doctrines and beliefs and the teachings of Jesus, want to punish or destroying Walter Kambulow by their lawsuit as evidenced by their requesting the following: (a) general damages in the amount of $1,000,000 each; (b) punitive, aggravated and exemplary damages in the amount of $1,000,000 each; A religious nonprofit organization such as Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship should not be allowed to use its nonprofit status given to it by the public to silence or destroy its critics or suppress any freedom of speech or request for justice? Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship should be pleased to demonstrate to the Canadian Government and others, that it has nothing to hide and is not afraid to be openly examined by the authorities concerning any matter. Its amazing how a so called Christian nonprofit corporation that is supposed to be lover of truth wants to suppress any investigation of its misuse of nonprofit status as shown by how hard they are coming down on Walter Kambulow using high price lawyers and all kinds of motions. What is Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship afraid off and what is it trying to hide by all this? An honest organization is not afraid of demonstrating its accountability to friends or enemies or the Government? As J.L. Grady has clearly stated: What is unfortunate about this investigation is that it had to be initiated by someone in the federal government. The Christian public should have demanded a higher level of accountability a long time ago. Why have we been silent when we know certain ministries are operating without a proper board of directors or without any accountability?
Please use the full resources of the Canadian Government to look into this matter immediately! Herewith you will find my email to U.S. Senator Church Grassley about this very serious matter that for the good and welfare of all Canada the Government must not sit back and do nothing but investigate these wolves in sheeps clothing!

Chuck Grassley did in not launching a Senate investigation into Naturalized American Pentecostal Evangelist Rodney Howard Browne of Tampa, Florida who has also violated his organizations' tax-exempt status by living lavishly on the money small donors had contributed and is also a family run and owned ministry. See http://cnt10.tripod.com/rodney.htm Many innocent Mega-churches and Televangelists are being tainted by this Senate investigation and reporting into whether six televangelists violated their organizations' taxexempt status by living lavishly on the money small donors had contributed by ignoring the fact that that all these Televangelists are not only Pentecostal in their beliefs and practices but many of them are family owned and run corporations/ministries but are friends of Rodney Howard Browne and have been influenced by his dirty anointing and false teachings that
anointed ones are not to be touched by anyone and are accountable to no one but God! Yes all these fools and wolves in sheeps clothing have something in common that has been overlooked! They are not only Pentecostal Evangelists in doctrine who have been touched by Rodney Howards Browne Laughter Movement just like John Arnott of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship but they are personal friends of the thief Rodney Howard Browne who believes and practices Nepotism just like his friend senior Pastor Karl Strader of Carpenters Home Church Florida. See http://crooksaog.tripod.com/ Former Senator Connie Mack of Florida has been quite aware of all the crooked and immoral doings by Senior Pastor Karl Strader of Carpenters Home Church and his son Dan Strader who robbed, raped and even murdered the defenseless elderly people in their church and community and worked for the accountability of these religious thieves in seeing Form 991 become law. (See http://www.hiddenmysteries.org/religion/pentecostal/godfraud.shtml and http://crooksaog.tripod.com/) But the influence and practices of South African Pentecostal Evangelist Rodney Howard Browne on all these Pentecostal Mega Church Family run and owned corporations/ministries and Evangelists has been totally overlooked by all! It's is a fact that Rodney Howard Browne taught and propagated the idea that not only these anointed ones were special and accountable to God and became very rich off the offering of God's people but he taught them that "It was the pastors job to fleece the sheep! Only God was to judge pastors, not the (dumb) sheep! Thieves were to be blessed and rewarded, not judged for this is what Jesus would want them to do! See http://cnt10.tripod.com/rodney.htm , http://cnt10.tripod.com/or.htm http://cnt10.tripod.com/rc.htm Most of the other fine Pastors and churches in America are not guilty of what these lying thieving Pentecostal Evangelists, including Rodney Howard Browne, have done and are doing. So they must not be painted with the same brush as the family run and owned nonprofit corporations/ministries such as Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, 100 Huntley street of Burlington, Prayer Palace in Toronto, Victory International Church of Hamilton, Benny Hinn, Oral Roberts university, Kenneth Copeland ministry, Joyce Meyers, Creflo Dollar, and Rodney Howard Browne! So I strongly suggest that the Senate not only continue to investigate six televangelists but also Rodney Howard Browne, Richard Roberts and John Arnott of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship to correct the root problem of Prominent Pentecostal Pastors in America praying with and preying on the sheep! Walter Kambulow Burlington Ontario P.S. Here is some important material that you should include in your future writings and investigations:
Mega-church investigation might have a balancing effect Is it OK for a minister to live large? A new probe by Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, will certainly call into question whether it's appropriate for some leaders of multimillion-dollar ministries to live in majestic homes, drive luxury cars and earn CEO-like salaries. I'm afraid the perception that there are a lot of these types of preachers will only increase in light of Grassley's probe. "The allegations involve governing boards that aren't independent and allow generous salaries and housing allowances and amenities such as private jets and Rolls-Royces," Grassley said in launching the inquiry. "... People who donated should have their money spent as intended and in adherence with the tax code." In letters to six nationally known ministries, Grassley demanded reams of documentation to back up ministry activities and the use of tax-exempt money. Creflo and Taffi Dollar of World Changers Church International of College Park, Ga., were among those getting Grassley's letter. In a television interview, Creflo Dollar indignantly disputed claims he owns two Rolls-Royces. "That's not true," he said. "... The one Rolls-Royce that was purchased was purchased by the donors." Here's the thing. The pastors who run these mega-churches minister to tens of thousands of people. These leaders oversee an amazing amount of community outreach efforts. They're often on call around the clock. They are overworked and often overstressed trying to bless others. As long as the ministers serve as examples of good stewardship and live within their means, it's none of our business what they purchase with their own earnings. However, it certainly is our business if they are abusing their positions and misusing tax-exempt donor money. It's not as if donors haven't been misled in the past. Let's not forget the televangelist scandals of the late 1980s. Remember Jim Bakker? He was sent to federal prison for misappropriating $158 million in ministry funds. If nothing else, I hope Grassley's probe forces all churches - large and small - to put in place tight financial controls and an independent board of directors to oversee the ministry operations and expenditures. As for their personal expenditures, should these private-jet-flying, bling- wearing, Rolls-Roycedriving, mansion-owning preachers live less large? Restraint might be in order. A 2007 Rolls-Royce sells for nearly $340,000. When you're ministering to the masses, it just doesn't seem right to own a vehicle that costs more than any home many of your parishioners will ever live in.

"They are blurring the line between profit and nonprofit." "They are taking market principles, setting themselves up as corporations, and yet they don't want to be taxed they don't want to have accountability," said Fredrick Harris, a professor of political science at Columbia University, according to the LA Times. "They are blurring the line between profit and nonprofit." With big perks, such as Rolls-Royces, private jets and multi-million-dollar homes, that seem to come with being a popular preacher on TV, Dollar said he understands the senator's worries as the investigation evaluates whether the ministers are using their nonprofit status to enrich themselves. The six televangelists preach what critics call the prosperity gospel, a highly criticized theology that teaches wealth is a sign of God's blessing. "Jesus came into the city of Jerusalem on a donkey," Grassley told The Los Angeles Times. "Do these ministers really need Bentleys and Rolls-Royces to spread the Gospel?" In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Richard and Lindsay Roberts denied wrongdoing. Richard Roberts has said the lawsuit amounted to "intimidation, blackmail and extortion."

Is this from the devilor God? Depending on how you look at it, Sen. Charles Grassley is either a crusader for righteousness or a devil with horns. Some Christians feared he was the latter this week when the Iowa lawmaker, who is the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, announced that he has launched an extensive investigation into the spending practices of six prominent charismatic ministries. As soon as news of the probe broke on Tuesday, I started getting calls from people who are worried that Grassley is plotting to take away the tax-exempt status of all evangelical churches in America. I have been assured by one of Grassleys top associates that he does not have a hidden agenda, and he is not conspiring to deny anybody of religious freedom. What the senator does want is assurance that these six organizations are not taking money that was donated to charity and misusing it to buy mansions, plastic surgeries and other lavish perks. The Christian public should have demanded a higher level of accountability a long time ago. In letters that were made public on Tuesday, Grassley told Kenneth and Gloria Copeland; David and Joyce Meyer; Randy and Paula White; Creflo and Taffi Dollar; Eddie Long; and Benny Hinn that they have four weeks to send him a boatload of paperwork to prove they are in compliance with U.S. tax laws. Grassley has been applauded in the past for blowing the whistle on financial abuses among secular nonprofit organizations including the American Red Cross. Now, because of complaints he has received from the public, the senator is
turning his attention to these six ministries, demanding that they send him receipts for expensive purchases, minutes from board meetings, audited financial records and detailed compensation figures, among other documents. Each of the ministries received a letter asking about specific expenditures or questionable practices. Among Grassleys requests: ** A receipt for the Bentley convertible that Florida-based television preacher Paula White reportedly gave to Texas pastor T.D. Jakes ** Information from Bible teacher Joyce Meyer about expensive furnishings in her Missouri headquartersincluding a $30,000 malachite table, a $23,000 commode with a marble top and a $19,000 pair of Dresden vases ** Paperwork explaining how Benny Hinns ministry purchased his $3 million home in Dana Point, Calif. ** Receipts and other records explaining how Eddie Long paid for his $1.4 million estate on 20 acres in suburban Atlanta ** Records about vacation trips to Hawaii and Fiji that Kenneth and Gloria Copeland took using their ministry plane ** Clarification from Atlanta faith preacher Creflo Dollar about his role in raising a hefty portion of a $2 million gift donated to Kenneth Copeland. We charismatics certainly are in an awkward spot these days. At the same time that Oral Roberts University (ORU) is under the microscope for alleged financial mismanagement, some of the biggest names in our movement are now accused of bending tax rules and spending Gods money on themselves. I am not going to rush to judgment in this case. I know that Meyer pumps hundreds of thousands of dollars into missionary outreach projects in many parts of the world, and the IRS recently notified her that Joyce Meyer Ministries is operating in compliance with tax rules. Hopefully her answers to Grassleys questions will satisfy the Senate committee so she can continue her programs without interruption. At the same time I cant understand how some preachers can take their offerings with a straight face. How can anyone, for example, think that it is a wise use of Gods money to pay $10,000 a night for a hotel room on the way home from a foreign ministry trip? (i.e. Benny Hinn) Something needs to be said. Questions need to be asked. Thats why I refuse to demonize Grassley for launching this probe.
What is unfortunate about this investigation is that it had to be initiated by someone in the federal government. The Christian public should have demanded a higher level of accountability a long time ago. Why have we been silent when we know certain ministries are operating without a proper board of directors or without any accountability? IE.TACF Ive been praying about all the uncomfortable shaking that is taking place in the church todayfrom the embarrassing moral failures to the cavalier ministry divorces to the ORU scandaland I sense that God is the one who is orchestrating these events. I believe He is raising His holy plumb line over the church today. He is demanding that we come in line with His higher ways. He is decreeing: I will have a holy people. I will expose greed, arrogance, larceny and corruption, and I will correct theological error that has led My people into materialism, selfishness and idolatry. The process will be painful, but in the end My people will be purified. I hope every one of these ministries can prove theyve done nothing wrong. But if God wants to use a senator to help the American church clean up its act, then I say bring on the reformation. http://www.fireinmybones.com/ Gag Order WHY IS TORONTO AIRPORT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP AFRAID AND IS TRYING TO PUT A GAG ORDER ON WALTER KAMBULOW? The structure of many televangelist organizations - in which the leadership is often concentrated in one person or one family - has itself been the target of criticism. "Churches like these (including TACF) are ruled as a dictatorship," says Rod Pitzer, who directs research at Ministry Watch in North Carolina, which provides advice for donors to Christian organizations. CBS News http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/06/cbsnews_investigates/main3456977. shtml TACF in its lawsuit vs Walter Kambulow says its a nonprofit organization not a church. But Walter Kambulow has been proclaiming its a typical family run and owned ministry/church, a money making business, a cash cow for its elite benevolent rulers, its board of directors are composed of family members and staff who rubber stamp the wishes of the founder and should be thoroughly investigated by the governments and news media just like its friends are, including Benny Hinn and Richard Roberts who are not men of integrity! United States Senate Committee is Investigating Six Major Ministries Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Benny Hinn, Eddie Long, Joyce Meyer, and Randy and
Paula White. Three of the six - Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar - also sit on the Board of Regents for the Oral Roberts University. Benny Hinn and Richard Roberts are very good friends of Pastor John Arnott the founder of TACF. Walter Kambulow maintains that the Canadian Government and its agencies as well as the province of Ontario should now investigate Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship , friends of Benny Hinn, and just as bad as Benny Hinn who are presently, using lies and intimidation, suing a private individual, Walter Kambulow for 50 million dollars and a motion is before the courts to gag Walter Kambulow and throw out his Statement of Defence because they are afraid of the truth. The motion is to be heard on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 at 10:00 a.m at the courthouse at 361 University. Toronto Ontario. Check out why many support Walter Kambulow against TACF!

Is Anyone In With Hinn? Posted on Friece01beFri, 25 Jan 2008 08:40:00 +0000 8, 2006 by Scott Kyle
By Covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words 2 Pet. 2:3 The Trinity Broadcasting Network and the LeSea Network owe America and the Christian community an apology for airing Benny Hinn. This Is Your Day is broadcast on each network as well as on many other Christian networks. His ministry brings in between 80 to 100 million dollars each year. Hinn uses the unbiblical Slaying the in the Spirit to heal people. Yet, only just recently, Hinn barred disabled people from appearing on stage for healing. Why? Because his methods are a sham and pre-arranged. He even has been known to expand slaying in the spirit by hurling mystic charges through the air. On one occassion,he was to heal a heavy set woman but the charges zoomed past her and hit two stagemen and knocked them over while the woman hit the floor with a thud, since there was no one available to catch her. The audience roared their approval. When King Hezekiah was sick and near death, he PRAYED! Remember, now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before you in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in your sight. And Hezekiah wept bitterly Is. 38:2-3. As a result of that prayer, the Lord added 15 years to his life. No slaying in the spirit or any other such nonsense. But, that is precisely what Hinn speaks- Nonsense (Ezekiel 13:8). In Nevada, Hinn performed 56 miracle healings in 2002 but none were verified. He casted out a demon from a woman dying of cancer and pronounced her healed but dies of that cancer two months later. Does TBN or the LeSea Network tell of those types of things? Of course not because Hinn donates heavily to each network so why would they want to slay the golden goose. Instead those he supposedly heals have goose egg on their faces. Hinn healed a little boy of damaged vision and said he would assist his family to the tune of $10,000 yet three years later the boys vision is worse and no money has been forthcoming from Hinns ministry. You have envisioned lies, therefore, I am indeed against you, says the Lord Ezek.13:8. It is Satan who is the father of lies (John 8:44). What about this TBN and Lesea? Hinn told Dateline (NBC) that his ministry helps 20,000 children worldwide but NBC found only 247 kids that were helped in the world which is a far cry from Hinns television projection, which is quite a difference. Would that not be considered a fraudulent practice TBN or Lese?
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, he wasnt carrying two VISA cards but commandments to live by. After Datelines report Hinn went on the air and said his ministry lost 10% in revenue? 10% only? Who said that there is a sucker born every ten seconds? TBN (The Baloney Network) and LeSea (Sick) Networks need to repent and move this phony off the air. But they wont because his fund raising abilitities mean more to them then integrity. LeSea did force Doyle Davidson off their stations when he tried to expose the methods of the Faith Movement. Will the truth ever move TBN and LeSea to remove Benny from their networks? You shall know the truth and the truth will make you free John 8:32. But, TBN and LeSea just hate that word free http://obadiah1317.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/is-anyone-in-with-hinn/ Benny Hinn A Real Scoundrel Criticism and Controversy On November 6, 2007, United States senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa announced an investigation of Hinn's ministry by the United States Senate Committee on Finance. Grassley asked for the ministry to divulge financial information to the committee to determine if Hinn made any personal profit from financial donations, and requested that Hinn's ministry make the information available by December 6, 2007. The investigation also scrutinized five other televangelists: Paula White, Kenneth Copeland, Eddie Long, Joyce Meyer, and Creflo Dollar.[17] In March 2005, Ministry Watch, an independent evangelical organization which reviews Christian ministries for financial transparency and efficiency and advises potential donors accordingly, issued a Donor Alert stating that "the reported exorbitant spending of the Hinn family reveals that BHM has far more money than it needs to carry out its ministry" and advising Christians to "prayerfully consider withholding contributions to Benny Hinn" while praying for his restoration and repentance.[6] Benny Hinn Ministries is not a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.[7] Hinn lives in an ocean-front mansion valued at an estimated $8.5 million in an exclusive gated community in Dana Point, California, travels by private aircraft, and stays in hotel rooms costing upwards of $3,000 per night.[8] In December 2006, he sent out a mailing asking for donations towards a new Gulfstream G4SP jet valued at an estimated $36 million.[9] Starting in June of 2007, at the end of his This is Your Day program, Hinn stated he is behind in his bills to TBN and said he needs "your love gifts" so he can become current and continue to preach the gospel around the world. Hinn stated the cost of his worldwide crusades and the increased price of everything else has left him financially behind in his bills, but says TBN founders Paul and Jan Crouch have been very supportive. Currently this ministry is receiving a "F" rating (0-70) in financial transparency from Ministry Watch.[10]
On August 24, 2007 the CBC Television show the fifth estate did a special on the apparent transgressions committed by Benny Hinn's ministry. With the aid of hidden cameras and crusade witnesses, the producers of the show attempted to demonstrate Benny's misappropriation of funds, his fabrication of the truth and, the way in which his staff chose crusade audience members to come on stage for televised healings. According to the show the seriously disabled who attend his healings are interviewed and then weeded out from ever getting the chance to come on stage. Instead, those who have minor injuries are brought up in their place. Benny Hinn claims proof from the faithful's doctors that healings have been successful. However according to the show none of these doctor notes have ever been produced as evidence to his claims. Hinn made a number of unfulfilled (religious) prophecies for the 90s, such as God will destroy America's homosexual community in 1995 or the death of Fidel Castro,[11] election of the first female president of the USA,[12] the east coast will be devastated by earthquakes,[11] etc., all before the 3rd millennium. Jesus had a money box which he used for the poor. Todays prosperity preachers, such as Benny Hinn, do nothing for any of their people who helped them but ask for more money and when the people give all they could they ask for even more and make the people feel guilty for not giving enough. It seems that Prosperity Theology works for one person and one person only to make the pastors rich. We need to clean up these pastors and churches that prey on its parishioners, its abhorrent! Benny Hinn Sues A Former Colleague Dallas Morning News courts reporter Mike Grabell Benny Hinn began his healing ministry in Toronto by hosting his own evangelical program on local television. His success in Canada inspired him to travel with his healing missions. In Orlando, Florida he met and married Suzanne, the daughter of a local pastor and it was there that Benny Hinn began to build his evangelical empire. Today he is known as Pastor Benny . Without doubt he is one of the best known and possibly richest televangelists in the world. Each year he travels the world conducting so-called miracle healing crusades that are very closely patterned to a rock concert tour. He produces a daily television show called This is Your Day from his studios based in California and has written several books about his life and ministry, which he markets and sells, along with video tapes of his crusades, music CDs and bibles. The World Healing Center Church, the Irving-based church run by televangelist Benny Hinn, is suing its former vice president of television operations, contending that he and his wife defamed the famous faith healer
as wild and out of control. In the lawsuit filed last week in Dallas County district court, the church contends that Truett Hancock, an employee since 1992, and his wife, Malena, an employee since 2004, revealed confidential information about the church several times last month in breach of their employment contracts. Specifically, Truett has communicated to third parties that the pastor of World Healing Center Church, Benny Hinn, was wild and out of control, painted him as wicked and accused him of alleging death threats to other staff members, the lawsuit says. These hypocritical Pentecostal Ministers, including Benny Hinn, Prophetess Juanita Bynum, and John Arnott of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, talk about agape or unconditional love and then contrary to scriptures take Christians to court even though their own bible tells them : 1COR 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? See http://torontoblessing.tripod.com/lawsuit.htm They hypocritical talk about agape or unconditional love and state Agape is rational, reasonable and strong. It overcomes all the situations and circumstances. If you look at 1st Corinthians 13, its the thing that stands when everything else has fallen and thats whats not happening, But they dont practice it at all even though their bible states: And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13) But if Suzanne Hinn is crazy and out of control why not Benny Hinn? Check out the Video of Suzzane Hinn being herself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jhw_5ye8Qo in you need the Holy Ghost Enema up your rear end. B. H. commented Pretty crazy video of Suzanne. K. G. commented She gives bachelorhood a good name. THIS VIDEO WOULD BE GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE IN ANY COURT ANYWHERE! CAN ANYONE IN THE CROWD CAST OUT DEMONS? SHE IS DEFINITELY IN NEED OF DELIVERANCE! Benny deserves her! So why should anybody be surprised that Suzanne Hinn, the wife of Benny Hinn, would be speaking at Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Signs and wonders conference September 26-29, 2007 Toronto, Ontario whose elite proud and arrogant leadership of Pastor John Arnott and Steve Long also are liars and deceivers if not cowards. Many have a problem with the elitism that the Toronto Blessing seems to bring with it. Those who do not embrace this movement are not only made to feel like Second Class Christians but are shown no tolerance for questioning it. http://torontoblessing.tripod.com/ http://torontoblessing.tripod.com/lawsuit.htm

Dont forget to send this website to all your friends so they can also play the game MT 5:44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, People all over the world are waking up to the fact that Benny Hinn is evil and a liar and a thief who curses people openly on television, says stupid things and makes false prophecies. Under "the anointing" on a TV program on 12/31/89 Healing Evangelist Benny Hinn made several prophecies of things the Lord was showing him were to take place in the 1990s: "The Spirit of God tells me an earthquake will hit the east coast of America and destroy much in the 90s." "The Spirit tells me Fidel Castro will die in the 90's. . . Oooh! Holy Spirit just said to me it'll be worse than any death you can imagine." "The Lord also tells me to tell you in the mid-90s -- about '94 or '95, no later than that -- God will destroy the homosexual community of America . . . He will destroy it with fire." As a matter of fact none of Benny Hinns prophecies have come to pass because Benny Hinn doesnt have discernment of the gift of discerning of spirits (1 Corinthians 12:10). Its a fact that familiar and unclean spirit plays all kinds of games with many Christians and they dont discern what is going on! When a person yields to a familiar spirit he becomes a medium for the spirit to speak through her/him! But what many of Gods people are not aware that there are many sincere Christian folks who are unknowingly yield to familiar spirit who cause them to say and do foolish things and even prophesy things that come from a familiar spirit, not God. Hinn's lavish lifestyle not defensible
TheStar.com - comment - Hinn's lavish lifestyle not defensible The Star LETTER TO THE EDITOR August 18, 2007
Evangelist Hinn lands under a cloud

Aug. 17
Toufik Benedictus Hinn, aka Benny Hinn, has been repeatedly exposed in the news media and through Internet websites, yet people continue to donate to his ministry and flock to his crusades, in spite of the prophecies that never came to pass and miracles that never transpired when the people were followed up months later. The latest expos on The Fifth Estate is just another `drop in the bucket' and a rehashing of the same revelations which came before it (CNN, Dateline, apologetic websites, books, videos, ad nauseum). Jesus lived a modest lifestyle and set the gold standard for righteousness. He never demanded the royal treatment, with private jets, motorcades, bodyguards, five-star hotels, expensive suits, luxury cars and mansions by the ocean. In fact, he took on the role of a servant, came riding on a donkey, and had no place to lay his head (which is the direct antithesis to Benny Hinn's lavish lifestyle). There's no mention of tailored suits, luxury cars and multi-million dollar mansions in exclusive gated communities. Even if Benny Hinn donates some of his ministry money to charity, it doesn't address the underlying fact that he is still living a life of material excess above and beyond his basic needs, which contradicts everything Christ stood for and preached. You can twist Scripture to justify anything (such as bringing up the fact that King Solomon was extremely wealthy and that since you're a child of God, you also deserve to live like royalty) but you cannot fool God. If it walks and talks like a duck ... then walk out because you're in the wrong pasture. Jesus heals for free and doesn't qualify his miracles based on one's monetary donation.
Jacqueline Verville, Ottawa "People in my position will have threats," Benny Hinn told the Star. "If you ask for a secure (hotel) floor, you're going to pay more money." I always find it quite interesting that people like Hinn defend their stealing of, and spending of, mostly frightened peoples' money by saying the above. Real people of faith rely on that faith in all circumstances. This isn't a theory, I have lived it. I did crisis work many years ago (sometimes with police accompanying me, sometimes not) where my life was threatened many times. I went into areas where the police wore bullet-proof vests when they came to assist me (we had none), where the police sent out a memo to all agency workers not to go into certain areas unless they were accompanied by the police (this was directly related to a case I was involved in). I was able to do this work because of my faith, which meant I prayed for protection, kept my head up and didn't knowingly do anything that anyone would personally want to harm me for. Benny Hinn, a man of faith? I think not!

Al vs KAMBULOW For the record Mr. Kambulow will be presenting to any court he attends all the material that he has sent to your firm, to the Prime Minister of Canada and the Members of Parliament , to the news media, to TACF and to others which dont not change the fact that your clients TACF, John Arnott and Steve Long are proven unrepentant liars and slanderers and should resign as pastors because they are doing things contrary to what Jesus taught. The other fact of the matter is that in Kambulow vs TACf lawsuit, Kambulow is suing Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation and its President John Arnott and Vice President Steve Long for the actions and words of its employees Pastors Steve Long and John Arnott! Mr. Kambulows will reiterate his position to the courts concerning both Justice Campbell's endorsement and Lederman Order that they are invalid because the TACF lawsuit against Kambulow itself is illegal, invalid and unlawful for many reasons including 1) you cannot have employees of a corporation using a corporation to sue for an alleged slander, 2) It infringes on Mr. Kambulows rights guaranteed by the Charter of Rights! Rights
such as: a) freedom of conscience and religion; b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and d) freedom of association. 3) TACFs lawsuit didnt not state that a corporation was suing Kambulow or the corporation was slandered. 4) The lawsuit is also ambiguous and unclear as to the right of Employees, i.e. Pastors of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, to sue on behalf of the corporation. 5) TACF lawsuits maintains that Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long were allegedly slandered by Mr. Kambulow and not the President and Vice President of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation! 6) TACF lawsuit did not consider and take into account the context, the authors, the freedom of the press and other media of communications in trying to impose their views and control over Mr. Kambulow though the lawsuit. Yes the lawsuit didnt take into account the freedom of conscience and religion; freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communications which enables Mr. Kambulow to write, publish, or transmit any truth about Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship and its Pastor John Arnott and Steve Long! 7) TACFs lawsuit ignored the fact that any religious leader Canada including John Arnott can be questioned as to his integrity, teachings and doctrines and even be called a liar, a thief, a rapist and a whole bunch of terms just like Jesus did to the religious leaders of his day and a religious nonprofit corporation cannot sue for these reasons nor can it infringe of any Canadian citizen to do this under the Charter of Rights!. 8) TACFs lawsuit ignored the fact it has been established since April 2006 in the eyes of the public and emails sent to TACF by Walter Kambulow, Kevin Gibb and John Szewczuk that Pastor Steve Long is a proven unrepentant liar and slanderer! And this fact cannot be ignored or disputed by any one and has been reported by Christian News Today and others! Its also to be noted that that Superior Court of Ontario heading of the Justice Campbell's ruling concerning TACF et Al v. Kambulow stated it was a commercial court establishing the fact that Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship is a commerce suing Walter Kambulow as a commerce and it is not a church of Jesus Christ! It appears that the lawsuit was thrown together quickly without any consideration of Mr. Kambulows rights or what was really expressed in the material but referenced in the lawsuit to stop Mr. Kambulow at all costs from telling the truth about TACF and its pastors! Mr. Kambulows public position to the court and others is that a true church of Jesus Christ is not run by pastors who are proven liars, slanderers and backstabbers while a profit corporation can be! Its pastors tell lies such as:
Walter is as bad as they come He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of. The way that he slanders his wife in public is horendous. and if he had been a part of our church, which he wasn't; I wold be all over for him for slander. ; He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to himHe was a former member of TACF He is divorced Mr. Kambulow will reiterate to the courts his public position that a Pentecostal Family owned and run Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship is not a true church of Jesus Christ but a profit corporation headed by money changers, wolves in sheeps clothing, liars, slanderers, and back stabbers whose action, words and deeds, contrary to the teachings and principles of Jesus, prove it to everybody! A true church of Jesus Christ is transparent and accountable while a profit corporation is not! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt sue people but blesses them while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ isnt primarily concerned with money while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt destroy people or tells lies about them while le a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt ask a judge to put a person in jail because he tells the truth about them while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt do things in secret away from the eyes of the public while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt take away the rights or freedoms of any Canadian guaranteed by the Charter of Rights while a profit corporation can and does! Rights such as a) freedom of conscience and religion; b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and d) freedom of association. And yes Mr. Kambulow has a right to compile, use and publish by any means all this and other material about Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship and its pastors in a book form in United States or elsewhere and will do so just like he has done about The Strader Affair! http://crooksaog.tripod.com/ Regards Walter Kambulow Burlington, Ontario

TACF Lawsuit Is Invalid and Unlawful Common sense tells us that employees of any corporation cannot use the resources of the corporation to sue others including a private individual for alleged slander or anything else.

Kevin Gibb Pamela Miehls /Aird & Berlis LLP Barristers and Solicitors 1800 - 181 Bay Street Toronto ON M5J 2T9 Email: pmiehls@airdberlis.com Subject: TACF vs Kambulow Court File No: 6447/07 the lawsuit is illegal and invalid Dear Pamela Miehls, Its Mr. Walter Kambulows point of view and those of others that Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship lawsuit is illegal and invalid because it has employees of a corporation using the
resources of the nonprofit corporation to sue a private individual rather than using their own resources. Its also invalid because it has not clearly differentiated as applied to Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship the difference between who and what is the executive, employee, corporation and church nor terms such as Pentecostal, Doctrine, religion, and freedom of religion and freedom of speech. It has lumped everything together to achieve a desired end to silence an individual including transgressing on his God given and Government given rights such as the Canadian Charter of Rights which states that Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: a) freedom of conscience and religion; b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and d) freedom of association. Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability. TACF lawsuit has definitely infringed upon Walter Kambulow fundamental freedoms including freedom of conscience and religion, and freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication. We now have TACF and its solicitors asking the Superior Court of Ontario trying to forbid these freedoms for no lawful reason except that Pastors of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship namely John Arnott and Steve Long dont like what Mr. Kambulow has expressed to the news media, in the press, other media of communication and to the government of Canada including the Prime Minister and Members of Parliament about their proven lies and slander namely: Yes its an established irrefutable fact that Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long are proven liars who have constantly and continually refuse to retract or substantiate their public lies about a stranger and private individual Walter Kambulow of Burlington, Ontario, and his family. Lies such as: Walter is as bad as they come He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of. The way that he slanders his wife in public is horendous. and if he had been a part of our church, which he wasn't; I wold be all over for him for slander. ;
He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to himHe was a former member of TACF He is divorced We cannot have in Canada hirelings or wolves in sheeps clothing pray with or prey on the sheep or tell public lies about total strangers including Canadians. Also we cannot have employees of a nonprofit corporation, be they pastors or janitors, use the resources of the corporation to destroy, silence or sue their critics. Its also Mr. Walter Kambulows point of view and those of others that Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship lawsuit cannot in anyway bring in or discuss religious doctrine or the term Pentecostal as has been done by their solicitors and are doing because it covered by freedom of religion and religion cannot be the subject of a lawsuit by religious ones who dont like to have their religion questioned or quoted. Religious leaders are not exempt from scrutiny by others especially if they are liars, rapists, or thieves as shown by the United States Senate investigation of Prominent Pentecostal Televangelists? Its also Mr. Kambulows position that he has not slandered Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation but has questioned its validity and reason for existence as a nonprofit corporation. (See Walter Kambulow attached email of December 17, 2007 To: Pamela Miehls Subject: Lawsuit WALTER KAMBULOW Plaintiff - and TORONTO AIRPORT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP JOHN ARNOTT and STEPHEN LONG Court File No: 6447/07), (See Mr. Kambulows letters to the Prime Minister below) Yes a simple perusal of TACF lawsuits tells us that its by Pastors of a so called Christian Church and not by Executives of a Corporation. It tells us its about religious beliefs and practices and ethics and not about the management of the TACF corporation! Yes the TACF lawsuit against Mr. Kambulow has lumped all kinds of things together and is comparing things with nurses unions, religious orders and all kinds of things. Its not a lawsuit by a corporation about a corporation but about religious beliefs and alleged slander of employees of a corporation! Before there can be any discussion about the TACF lawsuit, court ruling or contempt motion, the following terms must be established and agreed upon by all parties including the court of Ontario as to the meaning of Corporation, church, Executive, Employee, Pastor, Janitor, Pentecostal, Doctrine, Slander.

Stonewalling Why did TACF respond to Rick Meyers emails but stonewalled all of Walter Kambulows emails? Summary Rick Meyers sent an email on October 29, 2005 to Senior Pastors John and Carol Arnott of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation/Ministry/Church (TACF) on the Subject: Pastor John and Diane Paul Metro Church International. Meyers received Monday, October 31, 2005 11:13 AM a response from Pastor Steve long with Cc: Fred Wright on the Subject: Fwd: Partners in Harvest stating Thanks for your note. I've forwarded it to Fred Wright who looks after these kind of complaints. Steve. A few months later Meyers received from Rhonda Puddle of TACF on Monday, January 23, 2006 10:12 AM a response from Fred Wright on the subject: Replying to your letter to which Meyers replied with copies to John Arnott on January 23, 2006. A few months later Pastor Steve Long again sent an email to Rick Meyers on April 25, 2006 stating: Sorry Rick, but Walter is as bad as they come. He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of.

It's also to be noted that Pastor Jim Paul nor any of the elders of Metro Church nor Pastor Steve Long or anybody from TACF ever talked to Walter Kambulow about anything. I found unbelievable that you have come up with all the statements in your email without you or anybody else in TACF or Metro Church every talking to Walter about their validity or having sources that will stand up in court. I also know for a fact that Walter hasn't been disciplined by any church per say including Pastor Jim Paul who never talked to Walter but only Sandra! (You can verify this by talking to Kevin Gibb who was with Walter at his last two churches including Metro church and Victory International. ) I assume that you can give the names, dates and places of churches and people who disciplined Walter Kambulow to back up all your remarks and will send it to me by return email? I am sending Walter and his friends a copy of this email to show that your stated remarks are
baseless and nothing but lies and libelous and strongly suggest that you re-examine your position that Walter "is as bad as they come." You have a lot to lose if you cannot back up your stated remarks! Regards Rick Rick Meyers received no further replies from TACF including Fred Wright or Steve Long but friends of Walter Kambulow in particular Kevin Gibb and John Szewcuzk who notified Steve Long and Rick Meyers about his slander and defamation: Details Rick Meyers sent the following email on October 29, 2005 to Senior Pastors John and Carol Arnott Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF) Subject: Pastor John and Diane Paul Metro Church International Dear Pastor John, Best Selling Author Harold Hill who wrote "How to Live Like a King's Kid once wrote in his book "You cannot argue with success?" Success speaks for itself!" The same is true with failure. Failure speaks for itself. On TACF web site it is stated that John is a director of the TACF church network - Partners in Harvest? So when something is wrong with one of your churches or pastor it reflects on the whole denomination? Well I like to bring forth a complaint about one of your pastors who are failures in every sense of the word. Their church of 400 not only has less than 25 people on a Sunday morning but they have filed for personal bankruptcy. And their marriage has been on the rocks for a number of years. And what is worse they are giving out bad advice about equality in marriage between a man and a wife ignoring the word of God that states in Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 5:23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.5:24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. It has come to my attention that Pastor Jim and Diane Paul of Hamilton Metro church advised a wife of one my Christian friends that a wife doesnt have to be subject to her own husband in everything because we now have equality in marriage where the wife and husband share all things together and are equal in all things. They also never talked to the husband of the marriage but only to the wife about the marriage and the responsibilties and obligations in marriage. That in itself is wrong. They should have talked to both parties together for which they have no excuse! Without being a legalist about Ephesians 5:22-24 is this something that Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship and Partners in Harvest subscribe to as one of the doctrines of the Christian faith the liberal notion that a women doesnt have to obey her husband when she doesnt feel like it?
Although I accept the notion that each man is a king and priest unto God (Revelations 1:6) and the head of his household in all things, I cannot accept the teachings of Pastor Jim and Diane that have caused real problems in a marriage with my friends and members of their church. As a result presently the wife is going through a nervous breakdown because of their words and the husband is upset because the pastors have been interfering in his marriage without talking to him. I also was not aware that Jim and Diane have any qualifications to be marriage counselors. If they do, could you let me know about it? I suggest that you look into this whole matter before more lives are damaged by such foolish teaching.

I have been traveling almost constantly since August 05 and do not take a computer with me when I travel. The interesting thing about churches and pastoring churches is that it is based on people choosing that church. They vote weekly with their attendance, money and support. If they disagree with what a pastor says or does, they leave. Pastors are far from perfect and people like you in congregations have their own interpretations of scripture, for example
Ephesians 5:23 & 25. You disagree with Jim Pauls interpretation of it and are upset about what you perceive is the effect his interpretation has had on your friends. Does that make your interpretation orthodoxy and his heresy? I think not. Does your disagreement with him make it imperative for me to come roaring in with guns drawn to try to correct Jim? I think not. I am sure there were other problems in their marriage before this issue came up. Scripture is quite clear about when overseers are to intervene and it is for moral failure and heresy. What you are stating is neither. What I do hear from you are some harsh charges directed against him in other areas that have nothing to do with morals or heresy. The scripture is also clear about making charges against church leaders and against Gods elect. My suggestion is that you calm down and try to get things in perspective. Please know that I am not going to intervene because you disagree with Jims teaching nor because his church has diminished. At its peak they had maybe 150, not the 400 you state they had. All churches grow and diminish at various times in their history and some grow again. I am also not going to carry on some type of long term discussion with you about all this. I have better things to do with my time. Please know that the tone of your email and your accusations about my doing nothing about your concern did nothing to endear you with me either.

I hope this is not the way you normally deal with people." For the record my tone doesn't matter as I don't have to win your support but just point out the hypocrisy of this whole situation and the lack of any justice or integrity on your part. You only confirmed to me that Pastors always support pastors and that there is no justice given by the clergy when a complaint is made against the clergy! And your reply only confirmed your own condescending attitude! You also stated "Does your disagreement with him make it imperative for me to come roaring in with guns drawn to try to correct Jim? I think not. I am sure there were other problems in their marriage before this issue came up." The fact remains that I know my friends very well and there were no other problems in their marriage before this issue came up. They were happily married for twenty four years until foolish Pastor Jim Paul meddled in with the wife and never talked to the husband. And that is wrong because the bible teaches that the wife and husband are one! Maybe Jim's motive was to divide and conquer the wife? He hasn't been very successful in his own marriage an issue you have not discussed! Take care!

I suggest that you get your own words into perspective and
get specific facts straight before you say anything else foolish? There are about 25 people in attendance presently in Metro International Church in Hamilton, Ontario. The church presently has in it over 400 seats from its former glory days when there were 400 people in attendance for special meetings as testified by Jim Taylor, the former youth pastor and even Pastor Jim Paul. The Church is basically owned and run by Pastor Jim and Diane Paul along with Lynn and Cathy Reichert who are not only majority board members along with Jim and Diane but Cathy is the sister of Jim. In other words it's a family owned and run church? And it's treasurer quit the church about six months ago leaving the pastor holding the money bag. And the monthly interest payments on the church mortgage was renegotiated from $3,000 a month to $1,500 a month. You can correct me if these facts are wrong? It's not only Jim teachings that I disagree with and his methods and ways of doing things including being led and directed by his wife, but his lack of integrity and the fact that he doesn't have his own children in submission and filed for personal bankruptcy. If he cannot handle his own family and finances how can he handle the church? ( 1 Timothy 3:2-5) He cannot and that is why Jim and Metro Church Internation is a failure in every sense of the word.

Acts 5:3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 5:4 "While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God." 5:5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. 5:6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him. Dear Pastor Steve Long, Just because you are a pastor doesnt give you the right to lie about me, character assassinate me, run away from me. You did you read my book Apostasy on the web which details why you are a liar and you did read the Halton Police report of October 30,2005 which tells the truth about many things? For the record I am not going away and neither are my books which are on the web to stay and for all to read! Again may I remind you that as a pastor you know God hates a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren? And being silent own confirms your guilt and unwillingness to apologize and change your ways making you into a real loser because God is never on the side of liars, cowards and fearful ones. His word is unchanging: DEUT 31:6 "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." 2CHRON 25:8 "But if you go, be gone! Be strong in battle! Even so, God shall make you fall before the enemy; for God has power to help and to overthrow."

Accountability And Transparency? So what is it with these Religious Non Profit Leaders who think they can do whatever they want with no accountability and transparency? December 12, 2007 Prime Minister Stephen Harper Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa K1A 0A2 pm@pm.gc.ca Subject: Yes U.S. and Canadian Pentecostal family run and owned religious nonprofit Corporations/organizations/ministries must be immediately investigated by the Government and others also Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Honorable Members of Parliament, Further to my emails of December 3, 2007, November 15, 21, and 29, 2007 on the subject of U.S. and Canadian Pentecostal family run and owned religious nonprofit Corporations, organizations, ministries must be investigated by the Government and others also it is not an coincidence that all the Televangelists chosen for Sen. Chuck Grassley's inquiry are Pentecostal in doctrine and Pentecostal Pastors but friends of Trinity Broadcasting Network President Paul Crouch, a son of Pentecostal Pastor, and a family run and owned Ministry. Trinity Broadcasting Network founders Jan and Paul Crouch are not only a family run and owned ministry but are accountable to no one and live a life of luxury off the proceeds of the generous gifts from the public! Trinity Broadcasting has 341 million dollars in the bank yet televises tearful pleas for more money or stations will have to close down. While the average parachurch organization has a zero savings rate TBN socks away a whopping 39%! What for? Paul and Jan Crouch live in a variety of TBN-owned homes. In all, the network owns 30 residences in California, Texas, Tennessee and Ohio all paid for in cash, property records show. These include two Newport Beach mansions in a gated community overlooking the Pacific. One of them was recently on the market for an asking price of $8 million. A real estate advertisement said it featured "11,000 square feet of opulent European luxury with regulation tennis courts and a rambling terraced hillside orchard with view of the blue Pacific." In Costa Mesa, the ministry owns 11 homes in a gated development adjacent to Trinity Christian City International. It just so happens, though, that three choices for United States Sen. Chuck Grassley's inquiry are not only Televangelists on TBN but members of ORU's board of regents: Benny Hinn, Creflo Dollar and Kenneth Copeland. It just so happens that Pentecostal Evangelists Benny Hinn and Richard Roberts are mentors and friends with Canadian Pastor John Arnott of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a family run and owned nonprofit corporation that is accountable to no one
and its founders and friends live a life of luxury off the proceeds of the generous gifts from the public. It is not a coincidence, attorneys for the defendants, Televangelist, Richard Roberts, declined to talk publicly about the lawsuit by three former professors but they are asking the court to stop the professors and their attorneys from doing so just like Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship is doing in its lawsuit against Walter Kambulow. Yes TACF also hate public exposure (http://cnt10a.tripod.com/tblaw.htm ) Yes, the Pastors of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, including John Arnott, Steve long and Fred Wright, have continually stonewalled Walter Kambulow, a private individual, not a nonprofit corporation, and continue to propagate their lies, slander and defamation about him! And rather than admitting they are wrong they have chosen to sue Walter Kambulow in a commercial civil court! And this is something that no nonprofit religious organization/corporation/ministry/church should be doing. Keith Drury has stated something important that is to be noted about these Pentecostal family run and owned ministries who are a cash cow for its founders: Five things that make me mad at parachurch organizations. 1. When they prey on the poor with promises. 2. Making desperate pleas for more money when they already have plenty 3. When they pay extraordinary salaries to themselves and their family. 4. When Gods money is used as hush money. 5. Refusing to be held accountable by hiding information. In spite of the lawsuits and/or legal motion by TACF and its pastors, the Government and others must get to the bottom of TACF fears and paranoia or lack of integrity and get answers to the following: 1. Why is Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a religious nonprofit corporation, running scared these days and its founding and senior pastors are in an uproar? Why did a member of parliament in Canada ask the department of Justice to look into this Pentecostal family run and owned ministry and others like it? Why do TACF pastors tell its critics and dissidents to get lost? What does TACF really stand for if anything? Why is TACF and its pastors afraid and telling lies about a private individual and suing him in a civil commercial court for $50 million dollars even though its bible says that Christians are not to take Christians to court, especially a secular court! 2. Is TACF in reality a profit corporation that exists for the benefit of its founder and friends? Is TACF and its pastors worried that since their prominent Pentecostal friends and mentors Benny Hinn and Richard Roberts have been exposed as not only being wolves in sheeps clothing but being devoid of integrity, the same could be said about the Pastors of TACF?
3. Are Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship any different then Pastor Rick Godwin who constantly presses his flock at Eagle's Nest Christian Fellowship to give generously for a new $36 million mega church under construction on the North Side at the same time he spends tens of thousands of dollars of church money on luxury items for himself? When he flies, it's first class or private chartered plane. He stays in high-end hotels and buys expensive gifts for some of his church associates. He can watch the Spurs from an AT&T Center luxury suite and play golf at the exclusive Club at Sonterra. 4. How about the weird manifestations, convulsions and exhibitions that are common everyday occurrence at TACF? Is the Jerking that TACF and its pastors enjoy and propagate of God or of the devil? For all its fanfare and jerking and emotional exhibitions TACF and its pastors are very short on words and books both on the web and in real life! 5. Are they are a typical egocentric ministry that says I have something that you dont have and you must do and think my way! But the bible tells us 1THES 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good, not do things or think TACFs way. And Thomas Jefferson also told us: I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. So please use the full resources of the Canadian Government to look into this matter immediately! Herewith you will find again my email to TACF solicitor, Pamela Miehls, about their dirty underhanded methods and to U.S. Senator Church Grassley about this very serious matter that for the good and welfare of all Canada, the Prime Minister and Members of Parliament must not sit back and do nothing but investigate these wolves in sheeps clothing!

HOW COME PROVEN LIARS AND SLANDERERS SUCH AS PASTORS JOHN ARNOTT AND STEVE LONG OF TORONTO AIRPORT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP REFUSE TO RESIGN OR REPENT? WHAT MAKES THEM SO SPECIAL THAT THEY THINK THEY CAN BE ABOVE THE LAW AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY OR CONSEQUENCE? IS IT GREED AND THE LOVE OF MONEY WHICH IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, IS IT ARROGANCE AND PRIDE, OR IS IT SELF LOVE THAT KEEPS THEM FROM DOING THE RIGHT THING? SOMEBODY SHOULD ASK THEM THESE QUESTIONS
Preachers Overdosing on Greed, Silent on Greedy Criminals By Dr. Barbara Reynolds, NNPA Religion Columnist December 17, 2007 In the nation's capital there is a sickening outbreak of the worst examples of greed, theft and ludicrous, wasteful spending flowing from the White House to the schoolhouses. Although shame has taken a holiday, you won't find the nation's mega-church pastors pounding their pulpits in damnation over these unethical practices. Sermons about "the love of money being the root of all evil,'' or the folly of chasing material gain or even how Christians should do for others before they do for themselves are just not hot topics anymore. Could it be that maybe some of the nation's leading evangelists are so caught up in the selfaggrandizing wealth rat race themselves that dust is covering the Scriptures that call preachers to preach against greed and abusers of the poor and needy. Recently U.S. Senate investigators are probing why some of the nation's most visible evangelists like Joyce Meyer have reportedly paid $23,000 for a toilet with a marble top, and if Pastor Paula White used church funds for facelifts and to buy Bishop T.D. Jakes a Bentley. The jet-setting Pastors Creflo Dollar and Bishop Eddie Long are also under scrutiny, as well as Benny Hinn and Kenneth Copeland.
I have a personal interest in all of this. I have made financial contributions to Joyce Meyer, Pastor White, Bishop Jakes (who is not under investigation) and Paula White. I watch their broadcasts and have worshipped with Dollar, Meyer and Hinn. So I am not throwing rocks at ministers I disdain. I am just troubled. Even if no laws have been broken by these allegations of outrageous spending, I worry about the precedents and the state of their get rich thinking that are infecting so many others. I wonder what in the world does Myer need with a marble commode and are my little funds part of what's being flushed down the drain? While I accept my own sagging face, I wonder have my funds been used to spruce up White's tight and happy countenance. What was on Paula White's mind when she bought Jakes, a man that she calls her "spiritual father" a Bentley? Why not a scholarship for a hundred students in his name? And as churchgoers follow with awe and admiration the over-the-top celebrity ministers, there is a growing belief that "bling bling" materialism is more important than servanthood and salvation, both of which require sacrifice. What really bothers me more is that the greedy deeds of some preachers may be buying silence against abuse of the needy because the "pot can't call the skillet black," as my grandmother used to say. The Rev. Dr. Reynolds is an adjunct professor at the Howard University School of Divinity; author of several books, including "Out of Hell & Living Well: Healing From the Inside Out," and is the religion writer for the National Newspaper Publishers Association. So what is it with these Religious Non Profit Leaders who think they can do whatever they want with no accountability and transparency?

religious corporations disguised as ministries with liars and slanderers as Pastors be it Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, Victory International Church of Hamilton, 100 Huntley Street of Burlington or the Prayer Palace of Toronto. Nonprofit corporations especially religious ones cannot exist or be run by family and friends for the benefit of a selected few nor can they have family, friends or staff on their board of directors. Nor can they be money making machines or cash cows for is founders to finance their high life style and give them a living that is beyond the means of most Canadians. We cannot have different rules for different folks or allows hireling and wolves to operate unchecked and at will to do their thing and rob, rape and use the sheep be it only financially! The United States Senate at least has the courage and wisdom to investigate and hold accountable the Prominent Pentecostal Family Run and Owned Ministries such as Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyers, and Kenneth Copeland. And the Government of Canada must also investigate and deal with these ministries and those like them! So please act on this matter immediately Thank You!

Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Honorable Members of Parliament of Canada, How can proven liars such as Pastor John Arnott or Steve Long be pastors of a Christian mega church be it in Toronto or anywhere? They cannot because it goes against everything that Jesus Christ is, stands for and taught! They must resign immediately as pastors for being liars, hypocrite and devoid of integrity.
Yes its an established irrefutable fact that Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long are proven liars who have constantly and continually refuse to retract or substantiate their public lies about a stranger and private individual Walter Kambulow of Burlington, Ontario, and his family. Lies such as: Walter is as bad as they come He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of. The way that he slanders his wife in public is horendous. and if he had been a part of our church, which he wasn't; I wold be all over for him for slander. ; He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to himHe was a former member of TACF He is divorced
We cannot have in Canada hirelings or wolves in sheeps clothing pray with or prey on the sheep or tell public lies about total strangers including Canadians. Also we cannot have employees of of a nonprofit corporation, be they pastors or janitors, use the resources of the corporation to destroy, silence or sue their critics. The Government of Canada and the Attorney General of Canada must immediately investigate and deal with such scoundrels and immoral pastors who are employees of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation.

Subject: The Questionable Integrity of Former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Pastor John Arnott of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Honorable Members of Parliament, Further to my numerous emails of December 3, and 12, 2007, November 15, 21, and 29, 2007 on the subject of U.S. and Canadian Pentecostal family run and owned religious nonprofit Corporations, organizations, ministries must be investigated by the Government and others also the Commons ethics committee, members of Parliament, have questioned former prime minister Brian Mulroney about his relationship with Karlheinz Schreiber and his possible lack of integrity! Well members of Parliament should also question Pastor John Arnott, the chief executive officer, of a religious nonprofit corporation, Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, who is not only a proven liar. but is using the power and resources of his family run and owned nonprofit organization to destroy a private individual, Walter Kambulow who has been asking too many questions about the lack of integrity of Pastor John Arnott and his handpicked staff. Jesus Christ, the author and founder of the Christian faith, told us "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, "that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. "For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? "And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:4348 While the Pastors of TACF including John Arnott and Steve Long are telling us But I say to you, hate your enemies, destroy those who curse you, do evil to those who hate you, sue those who persecute you, tell lies about them and do it in secret not openly Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a nonprofit, religious corporation, has not only sued Walter Kambulow for fifty million dollars but has gone to the Supreme Court of Ontario again to try and silence Walter Kambulow from exercising his right of sending emails to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Members of Parliament, the news media, and others that that Government of Canada must immediately investigate family run and owned nonprofit corporations/ministries operating in Canada just like the American government is doing. Ministries such as Toronto Airport Christians fellowship, 100 Huntley street, prayer palace in Toronto, Victory International Church, Benny Hinn, Oral Roberts university, Kenneth Copeland ministry, Joyce Meyers, and Creflo Dollar! TACF are upset with the email of November 14, 2007 sent to the Prime Minister of Canada, Members of Parliament, news media and others about Six charismatic (Pentecostal ) ministries are under the microscope as a U.S. Senate committee scrutinizes their spending practices. Is this
from the devilor God? They are also very upset that Mr. Kambulow is requesting that The Government of Canada should immediately look into the real reasoning and desire of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a family run and owned nonprofit corporation and in theory a church, contrary to their own Christian doctrines and beliefs and the teachings of Jesus, want to punish or destroying Walter Kambulow by their lawsuit as evidenced by their requesting the following: (a) general damages in the amount of $1,000,000 each; (b) punitive, aggravated and exemplary damages in the amount of $1,000,000 each; A religious nonprofit organization such as Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship should not be allowed to use its nonprofit status given to it by the public to silence or destroy its critics or suppress any freedom of speech or request for justice? Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship should be pleased to demonstrate to the Canadian Government and others, that it has nothing to hide and is not afraid to be openly examined by the authorities concerning any matter. Its amazing how a so called Christian nonprofit corporation that is supposed to be lover of truth wants to suppress any investigation of its misuse of nonprofit status as shown by how hard they are coming down on Walter Kambulow using high price lawyers and all kinds of motions. What is Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship afraid off and what is it trying to hide by all this? An honest organization is not afraid of demonstrating its accountability to friends or enemies or the Government?

So please examine your sources and be prepared to back up your words less you be shown to be a liar and dishonest! It's also to be noted that Pastor Jim Paul nor any of the elders of Metro Church nor Pastor Steve Long or anybody from TACF ever talked to Walter Kambulow about anything. I found unbelievable that you have come up with all the statements in your email without you or anybody else in TACF or Metro Church every talking to Walter about their validity or having sources that will stand up in court. I also know for a fact that Walter hasn't been disciplined by any church per say including Pastor Jim Paul who never talked to Walter but only Sandra! (You can verify this by talking to Kevin Gibbs who was with Walter at his last two churches including Metro church and Victory International. ) I assume that you can give the names, dates and places of churches and people who disciplined Walter Kambulow to back up all your remarks and will send it to me by return email? I am sending Walter and his friends a copy of this email to show that your stated remarks are baseless and nothing but lies and libelous and strongly suggest that you re-examine your position that Walter "is as bad as they come."

His wife wasn't stolen, she left him and if he had been a part of our church, which he wasn't; I wold be all over for him for slander. The way that he slanders his wife in public is horendous. He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to him- (Pastor Steve Long to Rick Meyers Tuesday, April 25, 2006) http://www.tacf.org/ Proverbs 6:16 These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 6:17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, 6:18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, 6:19 A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren. Acts 5:3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 5:4 "While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God." 5:5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. 5:6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him. Dear Pastor Steve Long, Just because you are a pastor doesnt give you the right to lie about me, character assassinate me, run away from me. You did you read my book Apostasy on the web which details why you are a liar and you did read the Halton Police report of October 30,2005 which tells the truth about many things? For the record I am not going away and neither are my books which are on the web to stay and for all to read! Again may I remind you that as a pastor you know God hates a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren? And being silent own confirms your guilt and unwillingness to apologize and change your ways making you into a real loser because God is never on the side of liars, cowards and fearful ones. His word is unchanging: DEUT 31:6 "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." 2CHRON 25:8 "But if you go, be gone! Be strong in battle! Even so, God shall make you fall before the enemy; for God has power to help and to overthrow."

Rodney believes that you are to bless financially those who hurt you or take advantage of you like Karl Strader did in robbing Rodney. So Rodney used the money of the sheep to buy Karl Strader his much needed second Lincoln town car to bless him. Of course Rodney didnt use his own money to bless Karl because he wasnt stupid. He used the sheeps money just like most family owned and run Pentecostal Ministers do! As detailed in my book The Strader Affair and on the web at http://crooksaog.tripod.com and http://cnt10d.tripod.com/rodney.htm when Roy Aldrich, a retired school teacher, was robbed of $100,000.00 by Pastor Karl Strader and his son Dan Strader of Carpenter's Home Church Lakeland, Florida. Rodney, who was a personal friend of Karl Strader who practiced
nepotism, and bought him a Lincoln town car, was asked to help the elderly victims who were robbed by the Straders and he refused. But when German Evangelist Reinhard Bonnkes decided to relocate his ministry to Florida, Rodney Howard-Browne decided he would give Bonnke a house. At first he offered Bonnke his own house in Tampa, but Bonnke had to locate in Orlando to be closer to his operational base. It was then that Howard-Browne decided to build Bonnke a new $250,000 home in Orlando. Rodney then drove a brand new car to Bonnkes driveway. Mind you Dr. Rodney Howard Browne in his winter Camp meeting at the USF Sun dome in Tampa Florida in January 1996 preached to the ministers in attendance and told them, when my friends and I were there that the sheep had to be fleeced. Otherwise they would have wool in front of their eyes and will not see where they are going. Men of God in the Bible such as Daniel, Joseph and Job no matter what they were going through had integrity, honesty, accountability, convictions and truthfulness. Well, we saw on satellite, on Trinity Broadcasting Network, a revival at Carpenters Home Church, in Lakeland, Florida, headed by Evangelist Rodney Howard-Browne. As a result, and due to the Lords leading, we sold our business, our home and our cottage, said farewell to all our friends, and moved to Florida to be a part of this great revival. Well, after a few months of attending Carpenter's Home Church reality hit us. Evangelist Rodney Howard-Browne was no longer associated with the church. It seems because of a disagreement, of how the offerings were taken and collected by the church. As it turns out somebody was skimming money from the offerings. The pastor's son was arrested and sentenced to forty-five years in jail for stealing around four million dollars from the elderly church members, many of whom belonged to the church and worked faithfully for the pastor. The Pastor and the son stated from the pulpit that it was a frame up, a lie and a conspiracy by the state and former members of the church, which turned out to be a lie. It was the pastor who had no integrity or accountability, and had rewritten the article of incorporation and policy of the church with his accountant friend, in 1989, after a horrific split of the church to suit himself. The split is another horror story of the perversion of justice by the superintendent of the Assembly of God, who on the orders of his superior did not touch or deal with the Pastor . The new articles of incorporation, of Carpenters Home Church, gave the senior pastor the sole discretion to appoint or fire anybody, including board and staff members without any recourse, which he did over the years, with exception of his family members, who were all on the payroll of the corporation. The newspapers were continually writing articles about the Straders, which the Straders including the head pastor, said were all lies, but turned out to be true because former pastors at the church, and victims, became friends of our family and gave us facts about the real truth of what was going on behind the scenes. The senior was paying himself a salary in the range of 200,000 dollars according to his former best friends and associates and had his two daughters, son and son-in-law on the church payroll. We could never get the real fact of his true salary because of the extreme secrecy he kept
concerning it. All of this time a revival was going on in the church with people slain-in-theSpirit all over the place during the meetings. This Senior Assembly of God Pastor lived in a 400,000 dollar home, by a lake, plus he owned two new Lincoln Towncars, given to him by others, one for him and one for his wife, and even had body guards to protect him at one time. He seemed to be modeling his corporation after Oral Roberts Association, where he was a board member. Also, according to others, the senior pastor had maid service paid by the church for his home, plus he traveled around the country visiting his friends and charging it all to the corporation of which he was the sole executive. With hypocritical behavior of preachers and pastors like Rodney Howard Browne and Karl Strader no wonder most people dont trust pastors and dont go to their churches! Yes there is something wrong and its not with Walter Kambulow but with these foolish thieving pastors!

Put in Jail Why should Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long be put in jail?
"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; Isaiah 61:1 January 27, 2008 TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA Prime Minister Stephen Harper Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa K1A 0A2 pm@pm.gc.ca Subject: The Pastors of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship need to be put in jail and their article of incorporation as a nonprofit corporation removed Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Members of Parliament and the News media, Jesus Christ the author of the Christian Faith told us He came to preach good tidings to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and open the prison to those who are bound. He didnt come to do what Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long of Toronto Christian Fellowship are doing, tell lies, slander, backstab, sue, destroy and try to put a total stranger, Walter Kambulow, in jail because He was exposing them to be liars, hypocrites, thieves, and rapists who set up and were using their nonprofit corporation to their advantage and all the time claiming they were a Christian Church that had come to heal and deliver others! They have proved themselves to be real hypocrites in that these employees of a religious nonprofit corporation are presently on a luxury Ocean Cruise while they are using the services of high priced Bay Street lawyers to sue on their behalf by remote control a total stranger by twisting his words and making outrages claims about him and his family including: Walter is as bad as they come He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of. The way that he slanders his wife in public is horendous. and if he had been a part of our church, which he wasn't; I wold be all over for him for
slander. ; He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to himHe was a former member of TACF He is divorced But these same employees are appealing the right of the stranger to sue them and have his day in court? Why? Because: They are benevolent dictators who rule on behalf of God? They alone are gods who are right in all things? They alone determine what is truth or what justice can be served? They alone know the truth and can tell others what to do? They are Gods representative on earth and are accountable to no one but God? They are money changers and self appointed rulers who cannot be questioned by no one? They can rule and control anybody any way they like just like they rule and control their family owned and run nonprofit corporation loaded with a board of directors composed of personally chosen family, friend and staff to bank roll a lavish life style including trips around the world for themselves, their family and staff, under the guise of ministry? They are hypocrites who have different rules for themselves and for others?
Its to be noted that Pentecostal Preacher Jim Bakker was not put in jail for his sexual misconduct but for misappropriating PTL resources for their own personal use and the payment of huge salaries and bonuses which were far more serious charges than the allegations of sexual misconduct. The Bakkers had also appointed a rubber-stamp board of directors to oversee their management practices. In return for acquiescing to Jim and Tammy's whims, several of these board members received tens of thousands of dollars in fees, bonuses, and contributions to their own projects. In 1986 the Bakkers were paid $1.9 million; since 1984, a total of $4.8 million had been paid to them. In addition, PTL monies were used for expensive homes, a palatial suite at the Heritage Grand Hotel, automobiles, lavish wardrobes, vacations, and parties. The Bakkers' closest associates were privy to their high living at the expense of PTL partners. They, too, were well paid. Reverend Richard Dortch, the Assemblies of God minister who many thought had brought some order and organization to the rapidly growing Heritage USA operations, was paid $240,000 in 1985 and $350,000 in 1986. He received approximately $270,000 during the first three months of 1987 before Falwell sacked him. David Taggart, a twenty-nine-year-old "personal aide" to Bakker, received $360,000 in 1986; Jim Bakker's personal secretary received $160,000. And then there were "consultants." James Taggart, interior decorator and David Taggart's brother, was paid $10,000 a month, but, according to the new PTL management, he had performed no services "for months."' Peter B. Teeley, press secretary to George Bush until 1984, was paid $120,000 for eighteen months to serve as a Washington "liaison"; apparently there were no written records of any services performed. [viii]
Yes Pentecostal Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long are misusing this family owned and run religious nonprofit corporation to sue a private individual for fifty million dollars because they upset that he has been calling for real transparency, accountability and integrity from their nonprofit corporation and a total investigation by the Department of Justice of TACFs and John Arnott finances and accounting books! Nonprofit corporations, especially religious ones, cannot exist or be run by family and friends for the benefit of a selected few nor can they have family, friends or staff on their board of directors. Nor can they be money making machines or cash cows for is founders to finance their high life style and give them a living that is beyond the means of most Canadians. We cannot have different rules for different folks or allows hireling and wolves to operate unchecked and at will to do their thing and rob, rape and use the sheep be it only financially! Contrary to Pauls words Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others TACF and its Pastors have not been like the Good Samaritan that Jesus talked about who spent his own money to help the poor man who was robbed and beaten and left at wayside to die but have uses the money given to them in trust by the dumb sheep to try and destroy a private individual and his family with a $50 million dollar lawsuit and mean and evil motion that requested that Walter Kambulow be put in jail. Where is the love in all of this never mind their so called good deeds of Christianity in action? TACF and its Pastors have shown themselves to be non-Christians and not Christians in any sense of the word unless murder, raping, killing, lying, slandering, stealing are what professing Christians are supposed to do? Since when is it permissible in our society to have a so called Christian church continually stonewall somebody or sue him or her for $ 50 million dollars? It is not permissible! TACF and its Pastors have not laid down their life for Walter Kambulow and have ignored what Apostle John told them - We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.. TACF has demonstrated that it has no love and is hateful, selfish, greedy, arrogant, proud and self centered and doesnt deserve to exist or to be considered as a Christian Church never mind a religious nonprofit corporation. As a result its Article of Incorporation must be removed by the Federal Government. Anybody with brains knows that a true Christian church cannot sue people? Anybody with brains knows that a proven liars and slanderers even if they are pastors cannot sue somebody else for slander? So why is Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship a Christian Church and nonprofit organization along with its founder Pastor John Arnott and Senior Pastor Steve Long suing Walter Kambulow, Engineer, for $ 50 million dollar and has requested the court to put him in jail because he refuses to be gagged by them?
Also why is TACF and its pastors appealing Justice Clarkes decision of January 15, 2008 to allow Walter Kambulow to counter sue them for $ 100 million? Yes, Justice Clark also ordered TACF to submit a Statement of Defence to Walter Kambulow by January 30,2008 and TACF is doing everything in its power not to comply with Justice Clark order????? So how come these liars, thieves, scoundrels are showing double standards and dont care about the law or justice or truth except to get their own way at all costs! Is it because they are not a true Christian church and have no integrity? It seems that way Yes, its not a very Christian thing for Pentecostal Evangelical pastors to do who are supposed to be honest, loving, caring, truthful men of integrity without any deceit or hatefulness to try to derive Walter Kambulow from suing them and having his date in court for their proven lies and slander and backstabbing? How come Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship cannot play fair and has to use every trick in the book to stop Walter Kambulow? But what do you want from wolves in sheeps clothing: So again for the good of all Canadians checkout, investigate and deal with all Pentecostal Family Owned and Run Ministries in Canada including Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, the Prayer Palace in Toronto, Victory International Church in Hamilton, and 100 Huntley Street in Burlington, just like United States Senator Mr. Grassley is doing and as a result news media coverage of the letters to the six ministries, his office has been flooded with calls about them and other church organizations, too, the aides said. In other words the New York Times told us there is a serious problem with lack of transparency and accountability with Ministries in America! Thank You!

January 20, 2008 TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA Prime Minister Stephen Harper Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa K1A 0A2 pm@pm.gc.ca Subject: Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship/Kambulow Lawsuit Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Members of Parliament and the News media, As I told you yesterday Canada is a beautiful democratic country that is tolerant and accepts all kinds of people of all races, creed, religion, sizes and nationalities. But it seems that we have in Canada some religious folks who are very intolerant of others and want to impose their narrow minded dogmatic views on others even to the point of getting involved uninvited in our homes, marriages and vocations such as Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a Pentecostal family owned and run religious nonprofit corporation www.tacf.org Jesus Christ the founder of the Christian faith told us to "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. Hence I am sending you my latest book/brief about Wolves titled Kambulow-TACF Lawsuit Preliminary that I trust that you and your colleagues will enjoy especially the Honourable Rob Nicholson, P.C., Q.C., M.P. for Niagara Falls, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, for Wolves in sheeps clothing are not a laughing matter especially when they use their Government given nonprofit corporation to try to destroy and imprison their critics such as Pastor John Arnott of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship is trying to do with Walter Kambulow. Yes the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada must look into TACF and what it is saying and doing! So again for the good of all Canadians checkout, investigate and deal with all Pentecostal Family Owned and Run Ministries in Canada including Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, the Prayer Palace in Toronto, Victory International Church in Hamilton, and 100 Huntley Street in Burlington, just like United States Senator Mr. Grassley is doing and as a result news media coverage of the letters to the six ministries, his office has been flooded with calls about them and other church organizations, too, the aides said.

Thank You! Walter Kambulow Burlington, Ontario http://cnt10c.tripod.com/tblaw.htm http://cnt10c.tripod.com/tb.htm http://apostasytoday.tripod.com/arnott.htm January 13, 2008 TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA Prime Minister Stephen Harper Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa K1A 0A2 pm@pm.gc.ca Subject: Pentecostal Tongue Speaking Apostle Paul was put in jail and so should Pentecostal Preachers Richard Roberts and his friend TACF's John Arnott Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Members of Parliament and the News media, Further to my numerous emails calling for real action on behalf of the Government of Canada concerning wolves in sheeps clothing I suggest that if Pentecostal Tongue Speaking Apostle Paul was put in jail and so should Pentecostal Preachers Richard Roberts and his friend TACF's John Arnott be put in jail where they can also minister to the prisoners just like Paul did! Richard Roberts stepped down as president in November amid accusations he misspent school funds to bankroll a lavish lifestyle. He has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. Roberts is also accused by a former URU accountant of cooking the books for his own profit! Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship founding pastors John Arnott also used his family owned and run ministry with a board of directors composed of personally chosen family, friend and staff to bank roll a lavish life style including trips around the world for himself, his family and staff, under the guise of ministry! He is also ironically misusing his family owned and run nonprofit corporation o sue a private individual, Walter Kambulow, Engineer, for fifty million dollars. John Arnott and his personally chosen side kick Steve Long are upset that Walter Kambulow has been calling for real transparency, accountability and integrity from their nonprofit corporation and a total investigation by the Department of Justice of TACFs and John Arnott finances and accounting books! Both Richard Roberts and John Arnott have serious moral and ethical problems in their family owned and run nonprofit ministries! It seems that TACF and John Arnott and Steve Long dont
believe in the right to freedom of speech or the freedoms given under the Canadian Charter of rights to each individual including freedom of conscience and religion, freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication. As a result they are using highly priced Bay Street law firm charged to their personally owned nonprofit corporation to silence and destroy one of their critics Walter Kambulow and not Rev. Gordon Williams because the latter is a pastor and you cannot go against any pastor as God Himself will strike you down as you are not to touch Gods anointed as preached many times by the liar and thief Evangelist Benny Hinn! Obviously this is a very unfair mean and wicked thing by so called Christian Pastors to do to others when Jesus Himself taught that His disciples were to bless, not sue their persecutors. But when money, which is the root of all evil, is involved Evangelical Preachers like Richard Roberts, John Arnott and Steve Long, ignore the teachings of Jesus to ensure their lavish lifestyle! What else is new? A lot of people have long believed that preachers, especially the evangelical variety, have their hands in the offering plate. So again for the good of all Canadians checkout, investigate and deal with all Pentecostal Family Owned and Run Ministries in Canada including Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, the Prayer Palace in Toronto, Victory International Church in Hamilton, and 100 Huntley Street in Burlington, just like United States Senator Mr. Grassley is doing and as a result news media coverage of the letters to the six ministries, his office has been flooded with calls about them and other church organizations, too, the aides said.

Chapter 24
Revoke Incorporation How about TORONTO AIRPORT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP IS NOT ONLY A CURSE AND HYPOCRITICAL BUT BIGOTTED AND DANGEROUS - IT'S NON PROFIT STATUS MUST BE REMOVED? If they are not willing to accept the so-called Toronto Blessing manifestations they are being kicked out of their churches. If people do not conform, then they are gone. This intolerance is quite the opposite of the agape love which Paul defines in 1 Corinthians 13. Many pastors across Canada and in many countries have been trying to accommodate the Toronto Blessing with the result that it has become the Toronto Curse because of the disruptions in worship and the creation of a new kind of Christian Elite Pharisee whose experience makes them superior Christians in their own eyes rather than people with a broken and contrite spirit (Ps. 51: 17). Rev. Gordon Williams 11 Bayberry Road, Orangeville, Ontario, Canada L9V 1AI dangerous adj. 1. Involving or filled with danger; perilous. 2. Being able or likely to do harm. -dangerously adv. --dangerousness n. January 12, 2008 TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA Prime Minister Stephen Harper Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa K1A 0A2 pm@pm.gc.ca Subject: TORONTO AIRPORT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP IS NOT ONLY A CURSE AND HYPOCRITICAL BUT BIGOTTED AND DANGEROUS - IT'S NON PROFIT STATUS MUST BE REMOVED Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Members of Parliament and the News media, I have brought to your attention on many occasions the fact that the news media reported that the United States Senate Committee is investigating six major Pentecostal family run and owned religious nonprofit Organizations/Ministries some of which have nonprofit Status in Canada - in particularly Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Benny Hinn, and Joyce Meyers. Three of the six - Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar - also sit on the Board of Regents for the Oral Roberts University. See http://www.startelegram.com/news/story/294870.html and http://www2.tbo.com/content/2007/nov/06/nawithout-walls-finances-face-senators-scrutiny/ CBC television has done an extensive documentary on Evangelist Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn of
World Healing Center Church Inc. and Benny Hinn Ministries of Grapevine, Texas, and his use of a private jet, a home in Dana Point, Calif. and "layover trips" while traveling on ministry business. Hinn also does not respond to requests for comments or other matters because they are Super Gods or Anointed Ones who are only accountable to God and not others, just like the Plaintiffs. See http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/main_miracles.html Benny Hinn, the liar, the fool, and the thief, is the mentor and friend of John Arnott the founding pastor of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (The Toronto Airport Church) which is located in Etobicoke, Canada; The church is famous for the Toronto blessing (Toronto Curse), an experiential religious activity which spread amongst the Charismatic church world-wide.see http://www.grmi.org/Richard_Riss/history/arnott.html http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/bhinn.html Many have a problem with the elitism that the Toronto Blessing seems to bring with it. Those who do not embrace this movement are not only made to feel like Second Class Christians but are shown no tolerance for questioning it. We see this reality in the fact that the church had presently filed a $50 million dollar suit against Walter Kambulow, a private individual to purposely silence him from revealing to the public what his years of investigation of family run and owned ministries like TACF are all about! See http://cnt10.tripod.com/tblaw.htm and http://cnt10.tripod.com/tb.htm President Richard Roberts of ORU who is in the center of a scandal this month is also very good friend of John Arnott and recently spoke at TACF. See TACFs web site http://www.tacf.org/Default.aspx?tabid=152 . Pastor Ted Haggard the now disgraced former leader of the National Association of Evangelicals from 2003 until November 2006 and a graduate of ORU was also a good friend with John Arnott http://www.tacf.org/tacforghome/whoweare/revival/TedHaggardsReconciliationEfforts/tabid/157 /Default.aspx. Pastor Tedd Haggard on December 5-13, 2005 tried to reconcile Pastor John Arnott and Pastor John Wimber after the Plaintiffs, formerly known as the Toronto Airport Vineyard, were booted out of Association of Vineyard Churches for excesses and weird manifestations. The February 1996 issue of Charisma magazine reported, The issue centers in part on the unusual animallike behavior such as roaring or barking that is sometimes manifested during renewal meetings at the Toronto church. Wimber said Arnott and his staff repeatedly were warned not to promote, encourage or theologize the animal behavior and the accompanying sounds (pg. 12). Its to be noted that TeleEvangelists Benny Hinn and Pastor John Arnott the founder of TACF not only sue their critics to silence them (http://cnt10.tripod.com/hinn.htm ) but load their board of directors with special friends and staff which they control. The news media reported recently that President Richard Roberts Tulsa, Oklahoma is quoted as saying - I have the deck stackedI am elected to three year terms and if a Regent appears to give me trouble, I remove him. I stack the deck... .
And TACFs other best friend Pentecostal Evangelist Rodney Howard Browne of Tampa, Florida, has stated "It was the pastors job to fleece the sheep! Only God was to judge pastors, not the (dumb) sheep! Thieves were to be blessed and rewarded, not judged for this is what Jesus would want them to do! See http://cnt10.tripod.com/or.htm and http://cnt10.tripod.com/rodney.htm TACF is a typical North American Prominent Pentecostal family run and owned ministry/church, a money making business, a cash cow for its elite benevolent rulers, its board of directors are composed of family members and staff who rubber stamp the wishes of the founder and should be thoroughly investigated by the governments and news media just like its friends are being investigated, including Benny Hinn and Richard Roberts who are not men of integrity! TACF are not the only family run and owned ministries in Canada that should be examined and investigated but there are others which the Defendant has brought to the attention of the Government and News Media including 100 Huntley Street of Burlington, Ontario and Victory Church International of Hamilton, Ontario - See Betrayal http://betrayaltoday.tripod.com/betrayal.htm , http://cnt10.tripod.com/aog.htm The Government of Canada should look into the real reasoning and desire of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a family run and owned nonprofit corporation and in theory a church, contrary to their own Christian doctrines and beliefs and the teachings of Jesus, want to punish or destroying Walter Kambulow by their lawsuit as evidenced by their requesting the following : (a) general damages in the amount of $1,000,000 each; (b) punitive, aggravated and exemplary damages in the amount of $1,000,000 each; Its is also to be noted and questioned by the Government of Canada and its institutions why a nonprofit Christian organization such as TACF whose motto is To know the Fathers love and to give it away or You too can experience the fullness of God's love, the power of His Holy Spirit and his healing in your life would use the services of a very a high priced law firm to deal with the Mr. Kambulow when a simple phone call to the Mr. Kambulow would have cleared matters up? What are the real motives and reasoning of the TACF to silence Mr. Kambulow is a proper question to be posed by those who rule this beautiful country of Canada and ensure freedom and just for all and not just for the power rich religious elite such as bigoted hateful lying John Arnot about whom the TACF website states: John Arnott is known for his ministry of the Lord's forgiveness and mercy! www.TACF.ORG I wrote to John Arnott this week and stated: John Arnott is known for his ministry of the Lord's forgiveness and mercy! www.TACF.ORG
DEAR JOHN, YOU ARE JOKING? HOW ABOUT LOVE DOES NO HARM TO A NEIGHBOR? YOU ARE A REAL HYPOCRITE WHOSE EVIL DEEDS SPEAK LOUDER THAN THE FALSE WORDS! YOU SHOULD RESIGN AND GET OUT OF THE MINISTRY! WALTER And others like Rev. Williams, who appeared for several years with Rev. David Mainse on 100 Huntley Street, pastored Good Samaritan Church, Kitchener and is now an evangelist and travels extensively across Canada, are now also warning people about the evils and dangers of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship and its arrogant and proud pastor John Arnott. In our society when you have a dangerous mad dog running around hurting and biting people you deal with it? Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship have shown themselves to be a dangerous mad dog whose teachings and actions are very dangerous to others and must be dealt it including having its public given nonprofit status removed and its founders put in jail for using their Pentecostal family run and owned nonprofit ministry to destroy and damage Walter Kambulow just because he is telling the truth about them like Rev. Gordon Williams The Toronto Blessing continues to be a dangerously mixed blessing ! Toronto Blessings is really Toronto Curse! Jesus Christ, the author and founder of the Christian faith who called the religious leaders of his days hypocrites, murderers, serpents, brood of vipers, liars, blind guides, sons of hell, etc. and told them they would not escape the condemnation of hell (Matthew 23:15, 33, Luke 11:24-25, 23:38-31), told us "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. "You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? "Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Matthew 7:15-18 And yes Pentecostal Family owned and run Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship is not a true church of Jesus Christ but a profit corporation headed by money changers, wolves in sheeps clothing, liars, slanderers, and back stabbers whose action, words and deeds, contrary to the teachings and principles of Jesus, prove it to everybody! In other words its a bad tree that bears bad fruit and needs to be cut down because: A true church of Jesus Christ is transparent and accountable while a profit corporation is not! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt sue people but blesses them while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ isnt primarily concerned with money while a profit corporation can and does!
A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt destroy people or tells lies about them while le a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt ask a judge to put a person in jail because he tells the truth about them while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt do things in secret away from the eyes of the public while a profit corporation can and does! A true church of Jesus Christ doesnt take away the rights or freedoms of any Canadian guaranteed by the Charter of Rights while a profit corporation can and does! Rights such as a) freedom of conscience and religion; b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and d) freedom of association. A true church of Jesus Christ is not run by pastors who are proven liars, slanderers and backstabbers while a profit corporation can be! Its pastors tell lies such as: Walter is as bad as they come He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of. The way that he slanders his wife in public is horendous. and if he had been a part of our church, which he wasn't; I wold be all over for him for slander. ; He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to himHe was a former member of TACF He is divorced Yes we cannot have in Canada hirelings or wolves in sheeps clothing pray with or prey on the sheep or tell public lies about total strangers including Canadians. Also we cannot have employees of a nonprofit corporation, be they pastors or janitors, use the resources of the corporation to destroy, silence or sue their critics. The Government of Canada and the Justice Minister of Canada must immediately investigate and deal with such scoundrels and immoral pastors who are employees of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation and put them in jail where they belong! So again for the good of all Canadians checkout, investigate and deal with all Pentecostal Family Owned and Run Ministries in Canada including Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, the Prayer Palace in Toronto, Victory International Church in Hamilton, and 100 Huntley Street in Burlington, just like United States Senator Mr. Grassley is doing and as a result news media coverage of the letters to the six ministries, his office has been flooded with calls about them and other church organizations, too, the aides said. In other words the New York Times told us there is a serious problem with lack of transparency and accountability with Ministries in America!

Chapter 25
The Enemy O LORD my God, if I have done this: if there is iniquity in my hands, if I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, or have plundered my enemy without cause, let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; yes, let him trample my life to the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah (Psalms 7:3-5) Believe it or not Pastor Karl Strader actually preached on Psalms chapter seven and made it his prayer one Sunday morning when we were there. He actually mouthed the foolish words and asked God to do it to him if he did evil to others. Well, God heard and answered His prayer and his honor was laid in the dust by enemies, Roy and Walter. Early 1989, Roy Aldrich wrote many letters both to Karl Strader and the dissidents including brother Jim. It was very interesting to examine what Roy saw and stated then and how he changed; once the shoe was on the other foot. That is how most of us are when it doesnt touch us, we arent bothered about a problem until it touches us directly. So Roy wrote a letter to his friend and pastor Karl Strader that stated: These are traditionalists whose warfare is not only against Pastor Strader but also against the entire charismatic movement, and if they succeed here, there could be an adverse ripple effect around the world because of the special nature of this church. We need to stand and fight, not to preserve our position, but to keep the faith and the ministry going. The real casualty here will be worship and spiritual warfare this is the target of the demon world and Satan. Is it possible that we should abbreviate the Easter program or change its complexion in order to preserve our energy for the continuing storm? It has been my opinion all along that the enemy's strategy is a war of attrition, not an attempted knockout punch, and that is why no charges have been filed. A frontal attack against you would miserably fail. If you, indeed, do call for a vote of confidence, then let some of us mail out a letter to members which clearly delineates the issues as we see them. By naming the ten or so prominent people against you, the dissidents would be drawn out in the open where they are at a great disadvantage. Putting this insurrection to an end is as simple as just clearly identifying bitter people and enabling all to see their objectives. This is what they fear the most, and they now need to be drawn from seclusion without exception or else we may lose our battle by default. Sincerely in Christ Roy Aldrich Roy Aldrich, like his friend Walter loved to write letters. On March 10, 1989 Roy and his wife Patricia wrote a letter and sent 2,500 copies to members of CHC and they distributed it themselves. The Letter stated:
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: As you probably already know, a very important vote concerning the status of our beloved Pastor Strader will be taken on Monday evening, March 13th, at a congregational meeting. At that meeting there will be a vote of confidence for our pastor, and I am sure you can see the importance of attending it to make sure that your will, as it is submitted to God's will, is done. No doubt you are familiar with the fact that there have been two previous meetings in which our church situation was discussed; however, at this one a crucial vote will be taken that will determine whether or not the vision Pastor Strader has for our church will be continued. It is a very serious matter for any individual or group of individuals to attempt to terminate the ministry of a servant of God and, frankly, such an attempt may be made Monday night by a dissident minority who consider that their opinions should be placed above the facts as seen by a loyal majority, the staff, and the pastor. Strong written affirmations by Uncle Shelby, Rusty Nelson, and Kevin Doddy indicate their 100% support for pastor, and other voices in support of the pastor will be heard on Monday. Only members will have the privilege of voting at this meeting. In all fairness it should be pointed out that there will be an equal opportunity for all sides to speak under the chairmanship of a district official. [Thomas E. Trask] Your attendance at this meeting could be the greatest contribution you are going to make in 1989 to this great church. By responding to this call, we demonstrate our willingness to accept the responsibility as well as the rewards of our having been selected by Jesus, before the foundation of the world, for the privilege of being associated with Pastor Strader in the great mission of getting the gospel out around the world. Concerned, loving supporters of the Strader family. Pastor Karl Strader also enjoyed to write letters of appreciation because on March 27, 1989 on The Carpenters Home Church stationary he wrote: Dear Roy and Pat: Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus! Only God knows how close the vote would have been had you folks not helped to get "the letters" out to encourage people to come last Monday night. You are to be commended. God bless you for wanting to see things done fairly! Sincerely Yours in Christ Karl D. Strader, Pastor A year later, Roys Aldrich friend and beloved Pastor, Karl Strader, wrote on March 28, 1990 the
following: Dear Roy & Pat Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus! Thank you for your kind remarks and your input. I really appreciate the good work that you have done and are doing, Pat. I really appreciate your sweet spirit. You and Roy have been real friends. Sincerely in Christ Roy also wrote the following letter which in his usual style Roy distributed to others CHARGES AGAINST PASTOR STRADER We have been told that no formal charges have been filed against our pastor, so I would like to suggest that he is guilty of many things, perhaps too numerous to mention, which include the following: 1. He should be charged with building the Carpenter's Home Church into one of the finest churches in the world 2. He should be charged with loving all people, even his critics. 3. He should be charged with being an aggressive soul winner. 4. He should be charged with praying for the healing of bodies and spirits. 5. He should be charged with a vision for missionary efforts all around the world. 6. He should be charged with memorizing Scripture and becoming a master preacher. 7. He should be charged With spreading the Gospel around the world by radio and television. 8. He should be charged with being a strong family man. 9. He should be charged with defending his wife. 10. He should be charged with deliverances made through Spiritual Warfare Ministries. 11. He should be charged with supporting our Easter and Christmas programs. 12 He should be charged with teaching the fullness of the Holy Spirit. 13. He should be charged with praying in the Spirit everyday. 14. He should be charged with creating a good working atmosphere for the staff. 15. He should be charged with getting the finest guest speakers for Our church. 16. He should be charged with opposing the works of the devil. 17. He should be charged with asking forgiveness for his mistakes. The above list of charges implies that Pastor Strader is guilty and should spent the next ten years or so at hard labor working as the Gods placed leader of the Carpenter's Home Church.
Sincerely in Christ, Roy Aldrich Later, Roy was to write one of his best letters which I consider a classic to Karl Strader in January, 1995 in regard to his Sunday sermons on Enemies which included the following remarks: I would like to join the ranks of those who Karl Straders counts as his enemies. by the following statements: 1) I am the enemy of lying and deception which hurts and robs people. 2) I am the enemy of those who practice cruelty in the administration of any corporation, especially churches. 3) I am the enemy of any minister who allows the use of his pulpit for personal vendettas. 4) I am the enemy of any minister who uses his pulpit for soliciting public and personal sympathy over controversial matters involving his family. 5) I am the enemy of every minister in the world whose sense of right and wrong is based on nepotism and favoritism. 6) I am the enemy of the policy of Karl Strader who raised $52,000.00 for Dans defense fund and $58,000.00 for repairing a roof and not one dime for his sons elderly and devastated victims. 7) I am the enemy of the disrespect represented in the Strader attitude towards the State Attorney and Judge Robert Doyel, a true servant of God. 8) I am the enemy of the policies of secret salaries which conceal huge benefits flowing from trusting church members to their leaders- salaries which provide sumptuous life styles, while at the same time, these same leaders are firing and traumatizing the little people under their care like Cindy Deaton, Patricia Aldrich, Jack and Betty Collins. 9) I am the enemy of huge personal gain to Karl Strader and Joe Perez derived from their secret management fees from the CHC Life Center Retirement Estates. 10) I am the enemy of the thinking that some claimed anointing or supposed special privilege with God gives anyone the right to turn a Christian church into their own personal cash-cow. 11) I am the enemy of the thinking expressed in the attached sermon outline which implies that the welfare of CHC is determined by any one man or family. We are supposed to worship Christ, and not the Straders. 12) I am the enemy of any minister who uses his oratorical ability to rally church audiences into cheerleading and other emotional excess as a device to shore up a crumbling personal empire. 13) I am an enemy of any organization that suggests opposing the leaders lifestyle and words is opposing God.

Pastor? The "ONE MAN PASTOR" System is NOT in the Bible -by Andrew Strom. Most churches today are run using the 'Senior Pastor' model, where one man (-almost always with a degree from Bible College) does most of the ministering and is looked up to as "the man of God". Few could deny that pastors are truly the ones who are running the church today. But amazingly enough, in the Book of Acts, which is the history of the first 30 YEARS of the early church, the word 'Pastor' is NOT EVEN MENTIONED ONCE. In fact, even in the whole New Testament the word is only used one time - and that is near the bottom of a list of ministries in the church: "It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers..." (Eph 4:11, NIV). -This is the only place where the word 'Pastor' can be found. There were elders and 'overseers' (-these terms are inter- changeable) in the New Testament church. But that is totally different from the position of "one man pastor" that we have today. So how did Pastors end up running everything? And what effect does this have on the church? Well, when you study history it becomes obvious that we mostly got this concept from Rome not from the Bible. As Beckham said (-quoted in one of our previous articles): "Using a combination of the Roman governmental and feudal systems, Emporer Constantine developed a church structure that has lasted for seventeen centuries... People go to a building (cathedral) on a special day of the week (Sunday) and someone (a priest, or today, a pastor) does something to them (teaching, preaching, absolution or healing) or for them (a ritual or entertainment) for a price (offerings)." In most cases, what we are seeing today is the continuation of this "Clergy and Laity" system that dominated the church during the Dark Ages. There is very little difference, really. The titles have changed but apart from that it is basically the old Roman Catholic system of professional 'Priests' running everything. We call them 'pastors' but the position is basically the same. These are people who have gained a degree from Bible College, and now we pay them to be our "minister". Never mind the fact that we are ALL supposed to be ministers! What this results in is two different 'classes' in the church. -The "ministering" class and the "churchgoing" class (or 'laity'). -Which is something that God utterly detests. He cannot stand His people being divided up into 'classes' like this. It is the doctrine of the Nicolaitans" (Rev 2). But is it really that bad? What harm does it really do? Below are the specific ways that this "one man pastor" model does enormous harm to the church:
(1) It puts one person on a pedestal - above all others. In many churches this veneration of the pastor closely resembles Idolatry. His word is law and the entire church revolves around this one man. (2) This leads directly to PRIDE. The position that we place these men in is terribly dangerous for them and for the whole church. It is very difficult NOT to develop Pride when treated in this way. Pride is the most subtle and spiritually fatal of diseases. It wreaks havoc wherever it finds a home. (3) Control, manipulation and spiritual abuse become common where power is concentrated in the hands of one 'venerated' figure. Power corrupts. Flattery corrupts. Veneration corrupts. And before you know it, people are being terribly damaged and wounded by the control and the "management techniques" being exerted from the top. Then new teachings on "covering" and "submission" are wheeled out, to lend an air of legitemacy to the oppression that is being visited upon people. Everyone is told to 'submit' and not to question. The "one man pastor" system lends itself to this whole scenario like a hand in a glove. It is virtually made for it. (4) It turns the church into a bunch of "spectators". In other words, everybody sits around and watches while the 'professionals' do most of the work. It is their "job" after all. -This is an absolute disaster. For we ALL have gifts and callings and anointings from God. (5) The position lends itself to "robes and titles". Jesus said to his disciples, "You are not to be called 'Rabbi,' because you have only one Master and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called 'teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ." (See Matt 23:5-12, NIV). -None of this seems to stop men from taking on "titles" today. (6) Many pastors by their nature tend to be "play it safe" types. They don't like the boat being rocked and they are often resistant to real change. The fact that today's church is in the hands of pastors, rather than apostles and prophets (as it should be) who are the "risk-takers" of the church, means that it is slow to react and is easily out-manoevred by the enemy. We desperately need anointed 'risk-takers' and change-oriented leaders today. (7) Because the position of Pastor is usually the "only job going" in the church, it forces many who are actually evangelists or prophets to become Pastors, just so they can get to minister. Often they are quite out of place, and many times this leads to disaster. (8) All of this creates such a load on the shoulders of the man that is appointed Senior Pastor, that this job has one of the worst BURNOUT rates in the western world. (9) At the end of the day, just like church buildings, the best reason for rejecting this model of leadership is that it is simply NOT IN THE BIBLE. Some people say that having a 'board of elders' who can hire or fire the pastor keeps all of this in check. Not so. It may keep the "control" side of things down, but the mere fact that they feel the need to "appoint a pastor" just shows how hooked into this system they really are. It is centuries
old, and all we are doing is perpetuating it. So how did they do things in the New Testament? Well, the first thing we need to realize is that the apostles were not "professionals". Apart from Paul they had never been to Bible College. (-These were run by the Pharisees!) Most of the apostles were simple fishermen and tax-collectors. But they had spent MUCH TIME WITH JESUS. -That was their qualification. And it is clear that Pastors were never in charge of the church. It was the APOSTLES who were given that role. But they never "lorded it over" the people. And wherever they went they appointed elders or overseers (plural) to watch over the church in their absence. Unfortunately, some translations of the Bible use the word "Bishop", which gives the impression of a 'hierarchy'. But this was not in the original. As Greek scholar W.E. Vine states: "'Presbuteros', an elder, is another term for the same person as bishop or overseer. See Acts 20:17 with verse 28." So these were just simple "elders" - that's all. It was only when the church fell into serious decline and then into Romanism that the complicated "hierarchies" began. Before this, it was all very simple. Perhaps one day it will be so again. Now, some will want to ask - Does all this information make me "anti-pastor"? -Not on a personal level. In fact, I tend to get on with pastors pretty well. I meet them all the time. But we have to realize that a lot of them are struggling inside a system that is completely unscriptural and change has got to come. God bless you, my friends!

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH CREATED THE NICOLAITANS SYSTEM OF THE

AND PETER THE CHIEF APOSTLE CALLED EVERY LEADER IN THE CHURCH AN EQUAL AND USED THE TERM ELDER NOT PASTOR BUT RATHER SHEPHERD.

The priesthood in Catholicism is similar to an Old Testament style of leadership. Everyone is a priest under the New Testament. 1 Peter 2:9 But there are still leaders. As examples. 1 Peter 5 1.

Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. Gal 1 Paul and people to the churches. 1.

Chapter 27
Pastor Karl For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quicktempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict. For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. (Titus 1:7-11) The word Pastor is a King James invention. The New Testament doesnt talk about Pastors as we know them today. However, the Word of God speaks of bishops and that a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not greedy for money, but a lover of what is good, and that includes justice, virtue and truth. I believe that this also applies to Pastor Karl Strader. Stephen Strader asked me once, What Bible was I reading, because he didnt understand what I was saying. Maybe I should ask the same question of the Straders, What Bible were they reading, while all those evil and funny things were going on in CHC. The following letter was written by my wife, Sandy concerning the Bishop of CHC, Senior Pastor Karl: After reviewing some of the damaging evidence against Daniel Strader in the articles that were printed in The Ledger (Lakeland) and the Tampa Bay Tribune, and having attended Karl Straders church services for quite awhile, I have come to some interesting conclusions, to clarify this entire affair: 1. I find that both Karl and Daniel are self-deceived, self-serving, dishonest, discompassionate and underhanded. Basically, they are con-artists! The outward appearance they portray is one of honesty, love, respect, and an air of success, while they are truly in the Biblical sense Wolves in sheeps clothing. They, I repeat They Are NotSheep! Pretending, to be a sheep or a shepherd doesnt make it true! Seriously speaking, there is nowhere in the New Testament that speaks of pastors or their importance. The only good pastor is a Spirit-filled pastor who has put his respectability aside for the greater good. I have a lot of experience with family members who say they love me, while they use many words to express how wonderful they are and act in a self-serving manner. 2. The spiritual atmosphere in the church when I began to visit in October, 1994, was cold, distant, sprinkled with a few spiritual gifts offered by others, not the Straders, and filled with gossip and a sense that under the surface was a lot of hurt in many of the people. After several months at the church, I observed that the leadership was cold, indifferent to the sheeps individual needs and upon meeting one or two of them, I noticed how they lacked genuine concern for others and were very self-important. This denotes a definite lack of love and humility, which the Bible clearly states we must have both for the brethren and the heathen. Some of the gifts of the Holy Spirit were in operation, but only in prophets, and healers outside the main leadership. The Holy Spirit was present at the front podium due to the anointing on the singers, not the pastors, as I realized later. Everything was extremely controlled. Only prophecies acceptable to
the leaders where allowed to be spoken. It was obvious the Holy Spirit was not really in control of the services as it was purported He was. 3. I simply observed how Karl himself, never turned to people or seemed genuinely happy to see them. This was true even of his leadership and his behavior toward them. His smile appeared artificial. It seemed unusual for a man in Christian leadership for so long. Later, I would learn my inner sense on the matter was right. It was not that he didnt know people but that he chose to ignore them. He was more important than they. Jesus, didnt ignore his disciples, he walked with them, talked, ate, and slept with them. He lived with and loved them on their level. He showed them his compassion and love even when he knew they could so easily betray Him. True love is loving the unlovely. It is supernatural. Something alien to Karl Strader. He chose to ignore people. Both his leadership and his congregation of long standing, followed his poor example of love and caring of the sheep. No one invited us to join them or showed interest in our family. If we didnt join the programs we were ignored. All contact with the church and its members were superficial and brief. A hand-shake when you entered the church, an occasional smile, and a lot of criticism behind your back. Also, his sermons were devoid of the Holy Spirit. Oh, yes they were interesting at times. He tells his stories well. But, something deeper and more important was very much missing. He used the Word of God without seeming to understand the deeper truths behind the words. He spoke too much of us changing our character and behavior, very little of how the Holy Spirit can do it far better if we simple invite Him to. Something Ive come to realize he doesnt understand. He became repetitive and dull. Not really showing much depth. (By depth I mean, having such a relationship with the Holy Spirit that you get fresh manna from heaven for each new sermon and the prophecy and direction all fit together in the service to further the Kingdom of heaven and benefit the people. Heaven is moving and flowing freely in the service and everyone knows it. In order to accomplish this the pastor must be very close to the Lord.) 4.The whole point of the exercise of coming to Florida, for my family and I was to find a church full of the Holy Spirit, where we could give and take in true Christian love and giving, and minister as God called us. We were duped into believing this was Carpenters Home Church because of the satellite broadcasting coming to our home in Canada. It was an illusion and a lie. Carpenters Home Church would not turn out to be what it pretended to be: a Spirit-filled church, full of Christian love and fellowship and flowing in the miraculous presence of the Holy Spirit with signs following. I would be deeply disappointed. Later, I would realize, this attitude of lack of caring was an outward expression of a deeply embedded inward problem. Problems of true honesty before God and man, self-deception that Karl Strader and his family felt they were: right, acceptable in behavior, true to the Word of God,
selfless, loving and truly honest in their dealings with others. I hate to say, the entire family, is delusional, self-deceived and totally dishonest and disrespectful to others. The heart is desperately wicked, who can know it, the Bible tells us. 5. The facts of Karl and his familys behavior speak for themselves. a. Karl doesnt genuinely love people. He doesnt love justice in Gods terms. When one of my family members were wrong, I told them so. I didnt cover it up, pretended they were spiritual or protect them. Wrong is wrong! He chooses to ignore wrong and sugar coat his childrens behavior. The children of Eli in the Old Testament didnt get away with this why should his?! For that matter neither did Eli! b. They believe they have a special dispensation from God and are above other people because they are so important to Him and His service. They consider themselves indispensable to God, in itself a delusion! The Bible is clear, God is no respecter of persons. c. They must not be judged by man because they are about Gods business and are above the men around them. They should be treated with great deference and respect no matter what they do. It cant be wrong they did it sincerely. Sincerely robbing people and calling wrong acceptable, is in itself deeply wrongwrong before God and wrong before man! 6. Due to their attitude of self-righteousness, a need for respectability at all costs, and love of power and money, the following atrocities toward mankind was committed by them: Karl didnt heed the warning of the people demanding true Christian behavior from the Straders and accountability to the church body, in a meeting held to clear the air between the congregation of true believers and the Strader clan. Karl wrote up a dictatorial policy demanding people behave as he wanted them to or leave the church quietly in his own words. As he was the Christ and had all the answers. Sounds delusional? It is! In my entire life I have never seen such an un-democratic, un-spiritual, unloving, un-professional and un-Christian document. I personally read the sixty-six resolutions the congregation were bringing forward to Karl, demanding he and his family change their behavior and attitude to the congregation and certain prophetic and other practices. He chose to ignore them and cut them out of the body. He chose to place himself above the sheep. Does this sound like a loving shepherd or a cold hearted wolf. Why is it he alone has power over the governing of the church, its policies, attitudes to sheep and control of the finances. Is it perhaps because of his love of money? This entire attitude on the part of the father, opened the way for the delusions and practices of Dan to begin his business practices of taking money from one person to pay off his personal debts or investors. Where he promised them their money would go, was not what truly happened to the funds. Even in simple insurance transactions he stole money entrusted to him, to pay peoples insurance
premiums, by endorsing the checks and keeping the money for personal use. Insurance companies began to complain they were not receiving their clients premiums and it came back to Daniel. He was entrusted with a sacred trustto deal honestlythere is no mistakes when one is honest! If one willfully robs one person to give to another, this is thievery, no question about it! It is blatant robbery. He also had his fathers arrogance and pride that he is right and above the law of God and man. Upon digging a little deeper, you begin to realize that Karl has been practicing the very thing his son was doing with his insurance clients and investors. Karl has been taking peoples tithes, given to the Lords service, and properly designated to certain ministries and specific purposes, and placed them where he wanted them, not where they were designated to go. In so doing, he aroused Gods attention and anger when he began to manipulate and remove intended funds from intended service to the Lord, to cover the churchs indebtedness. This obviously doesnt honor the Lord but only becomes lip service, something Karl became adept at. A pathetically poor example to his children of mismanagement of money and double talk, saying one thing to the congregation and doing something totally different. Sad to me is the documented facts that came out in Daniels trial that he had robbed not only the investors and insurance clients, he had robbed his children and wife of peace of mind and a sense of security, because their electricity was shown to have been cut off at least fifteen times in the previous year by the electric company due to lack of payment. This is only a small sample of what went on in his practices in paying personal bills and obligations. Not very responsible or lovingeven to his own family, is it? The bottom line is, men who cannot handle their own behavior or families correctly, with good Christian order and with common respect and decency, should not be leaders of anythinglet alone a large Christian church or a business! This principle applies to all Christian leaders! We are all accountable: first to God, second to our spouses and children, and third to fellow believers and other people. We must all pay the piper! Sorry, no exceptions! We have a firm responsibility to teach accountability to our children, both to God and man! It is irresponsible to allow a child to believe there are no consequences for our actions and all will be forgiven and covered by Gods love. This is only true, the Bible says, if we meet Gods conditions of holding to his truths, unwaveringly and with deep fear of what He could do if He so chose! God is still ultimately Sovereign! He chose to allow Job to suffer though he had done nothing to deserve it! God is God! I know he is not blind to all man does. He does Judge. Jesus sacrifice brought judgment. As He said to me on the subject of love, it not only means being gentle and kind, it brings
accountability and judgment. If were not sure weve crossed over the line into judgment and wrong doing we need to humble ourselves before God and find out. When Karl and Daniel were told by God they were wrong they didnt obey His voice. Is it because they never learned to truly listen to His still small voice and obey Him? They also thought the vessels of his warnings were unimportant and of no consequenceChristian peoplenot of high positions or great wealth. Simple people, whom they had learned not to respect. They could not recognize when a man of God had been sent to them, to redirect them and give deeply important warnings. They had not true spiritual discernment. They couldnt hear, they couldnt see. Is this not also Biblical? God stopped mens ears and blinded mens eyes? The evidence speaks for itself. A broken church, many hurt and damaged Christian lives, the theft of thousands of dollars not belonging to the Straders, be it in tithes or investments, the Gospel of Christ trampled and disgraced, control and manipulation of lives in the Name of God and without compassion. One son in prison, another sent out of the country to minister elsewhere because he is a liability due to his attitudes and behavior, and a daughter who begs other pastors to help displace her father to place her husband in her fathers pastoral position. How Christian! How loving! What a wonderful example of right Christian living! How happy I am not to follow or be fooled anymore by such a wicked example!
Chapter 28
In every country and every age In every country and every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot ... they have perverted the purest religion ever preached to man into mystery and jargon, unintelligible to all mankind, and therefore the safer engine for their purpose. Thomas Jefferson to Horatio Spafford, March 17, 1814 The Wrongs Associated With Doctrines? Most of us know anger quite well. Talk to someone who is involved with the repentance scene and you will likely hear it in their voice as they talk about the state of the church, you will see it in their eyes as they explain the wrongs associated with the hyper- prosperity, once saved-always saved or the seeker sensitive doctrines. Anger at the way that things are has been at the heart of the repentance community and is something that most of us are well aquainted with. Anger by itself is not bad, it is a tremendous motivator for the person seeking to change things. But when anger is left alone and is not coupled with action, it must end in the destruction of the ones who embrace it. Because anger must be answered, that is its nature. It demands that a wrong be addressed and if no solution presents itself, anger will inevitably lead to frustration, withdrawal and ultimately a martyr complex that can only destroy a Christian life and that is absolute poison for any move of God. We have seen that this frustration will many times introduce a little known companion to anger named apathy. When the source of frustration seems to be such that there is no ready answer for it, apathy comes along as a form of learned helplessness. "I used to be angry about such-andsuch but then I just gave up, it is never going to change anyway." And apathy crouches right now at the door of the repentance community, stealing our resolve to see change and sapping our strength for the battle ahead. I hear from people from all over the world because of my ministry email list. And the impression that I am getting more and more often of late is that they are tired of hearing about everything that is wrong. People in the community have grown tired of hearing about what is wrong with them, with the church and with the world. Not that they do not see the truth in what is being said, it is just that there must be an answer presented as a solution to the problems that are being exposed. WORD to THE REMNANT" Anger and Courage - A call for action -by James Smith. I am pleased to know that the wise ones are coming to realize that there is something wrong with the hyper- prosperity, once saved-always saved, the seeker sensitive or the third wave soaking doctrines. It reminds me of my old friend Thomas Jefferson who stated: Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day. Thomas Jefferson Letter to P. S. Dupont de Nemours, Poplar Forest, April 24, 1816
I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.. Thomas Jefferson Letter To Francis Hopkinson, Paris Mar. 13, 1789 Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia states the following about Thomas Jefferson: Jefferson, Thomas (1743-1826), third president of the United States (1801-1809) and author of the Declaration of Independence. He was one of the most brilliant men in history. His interests were boundless, and his accomplishments were great and varied. He was a philosopher, educator, naturalist, politician, scientist, architect, inventor, pioneer in scientific farming, musician, and writer, and he was the foremost spokesman for democracy of his day. Now some religious ones object to Jefferson personal life style or morality, but they do not deny the Declaration of American Independence because of it. Which is nothing but hypocrisy? They cannot deny the truth of Jefferson's words: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. The Declaration of American Independence Which of the religious ones can deny Jefferson stated view that all men are born free and have rights as individuals: "Under the law of nature, all men are born free, every one comes into the world with a right to his own person, which includes the liberty of moving and using it at his own will. This is what is called personal liberty, and is given him by the Author of nature, because necessary for his own sustenance." --Thomas Jefferson: Legal Argument, 1770. "What is true of every member of the society, individually, is true of them all collectively; since the rights of the whole can be no more than the sum of the rights of the individuals." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1789. "I have never been able to conceive how any rational being could propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others." --Thomas Jefferson to A. L. C. Destutt de Tracy, 1811. In every government on earth is some trace of human weakness, some germ of corruption and degeneracy, which cunning will discover, and wickedness insensibly open, cultivate and improve." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia, 1782. In every country and every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance
with the despot ... they have perverted the purest religion ever preached to man into mystery and jargon, unintelligible to all mankind, and therefore the safer engine for their purpose. Thomas Jefferson to Horatio Spafford, March 17, 1814 For unfortunately down through the ages men do not change and power and greed corrupts them. As Jefferson stated: "When we come to the moral principles on which the government is to be administered, we come to what is proper for all conditions of society. Liberty, truth, probity, honor, are declared to be the four cardinal principles of society. I believe that morality, compassion, generosity, are innate elements of the human constitution; that there exists a right independent of force." --Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1816 "The sheep are happier of themselves than under the care of the wolves." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia, 1782. A True Hunger for God and His Word Jesse http://jesserichministries.com/ writes: After being born again, there are two areas that we need to develop quickly in order to grow and develop spiritually. # 1: we need to develop our personal prayer life; # 2: we need to gain a knowledge of God's Word. Once a person receives Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they need to grow and develop spiritually to where they can resist the attacks of the devil with boldness and the utmost confidence. They need to be able to take the Word of God and turn it into the sword of the spirit (Ephesians 6: 17). And if they don't grow and develop spiritually, they can either die prematurely for lack of knowledge of the believers authority, or be preyed upon and controlled and manipulated by religious deception. They can also be discouraged by tests and trials, or they can be deceived in their walk with the Lord by thinking that what they believe is right, just because they go to church, or because they're saved, or just because they feel that God would never let them be deceived. An indication that we've been born-again and really saved is in our hunger for God, but it is a hunger not just for religion, but for God Himself. For example, I know people personally that couldn't wait to get to church just to fellowship with their friends, and to sing some hymns, but they never really had a hunger or desire to be fed on God's Word or to develop a prayer life to get to know God personally. Ive also had the same thing take place in my own meetings with people who came for some other reason than to hear the message. Thank God for churches and meetings and for Christian fellowship and ministers and songs and hymns, but we get in trouble when we allow them to become the biggest reason were attending the meeting. When people don't grow and develop spiritually by developing a personal prayer life and having a hunger for God's Word, they often feel that what they have is all they need. Some signs that a person is being caught up in religion and not being caught up with God are:
- they don't really care that they never hear from God for themselves; - they talk about their minister and their church and rarely, if at all, ever talk about what God has been doing recently in their lives; - they usually let someone else do the thinking for them when it comes to spiritual matters; - they would like for someone else to do all their believing, decision making and praying for them; - you hear them say, "I love my church and my minister; he's such a nice person." --But, you can go a long time before you ever hear them say "I sure love God," or "Jesus is first and foremost in my life." Religion always comes across as though it cares for you, but it really doesnt. Religion gets angry when it doesnt get its way. And, it always goes on a counter-attack in order to get you to submit to it. For, all throughout the gospels, it was religion as well as Satan, himself, that tried to stop Jesus. Sooner or later, religion gets exposed when the gospel is preached with Holy Ghost conviction. Judge Not Matt. 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. Lets consider the popular scripture used for rebuke any time a person tries to take a stand for righteousness! This command refers to rash, censorious, and unjust judgment. See Rom 2:1. Luke 6:37 explains it in the sense of condemning. Christ does not condemn judging as a magistrate, for that, when according to justice, is lawful and necessary. (Commentary by Barnes) The term "judge" is used in more than one sense, but Christ's meaning is plain. (1) He does not prohibit the civil judgment of the courts upon evil doers, for this is approved throughout the whole Bible. (2) He does not prohibit the judgment of the church, through its officers, upon those who walk disorderly, for both he and the apostles have enjoined this. (3) He does not forbid those private judgments that we are compelled to form the wrong-doers, for he himself tells us that we are to judge (know) men by their fruits. (See Mt 7:15-20.) What he designs to prohibit is rash, uncharitable judgments, a fault-finding spirit, a disposition to condemn without examination of charges. (Peoples New Testament Commentary) The stand we should take on this scripture is that GOD is commanding us not to sit in the judgment seat. And not to jump to assumptions based on appearances, ready to pronounce judgment on one another. When the disciples wanted to call down fire on the Samaritans for rejecting Him, this is what GOD replied: Luke 9:55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. Wanting to see someone consumed with vengeance is a wrong spirit. Wanting to see someone walk in truth and be restored and delivered is altogether different. The disciples suggestion gives a connotation of harsh judgment and selfish motives. I believe this judging portrays a self-righteous attitude elevating ourselves above another. So this is the judging that GOD
condemns and we should refrain from it. (As a side note, we need to also acknowledge the prophetic office here. The prophet does judge and proclaim the judgments of Jesus. There will eventually be consequences for sin. The prophetic word is for those who hide from His light, those who have deceived themselves about that sin. A prophet may warn of serious consequences or be used by Jesus to speak forth His judgments. The prophet portrays the character of GOD by showing what He hates and the passion by which He hates it!) Let us keep this in balance. GOD did judge and this would make more sense in the light of these scriptures: Jn. 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Jn. 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. Luke 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Luke 12:57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? Jn. 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. 1Cor. 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. Luke 11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. These are not contradictions of Matthew 7:1, but simply the proper usage of judgment. The misunderstanding of this word has opened the door for Satan to bring all manner of defilement and filth into the church. Of course if our motive is not love, forget it! If we cannot lovingly teach and admonish, it shows our lack of character. We should have enough light in our lives to convict another of their sin by how we live. Sadly, we do not because we do not judge ourselves or allow the light of Jesuss judgment to pierce through us. http://www.meguiar.addrcom/judgment.htm A Checklist for Judging Prophecy by Larry Ollison, Ph.D. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith. (Romans 12:6) "Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge" (1 Corinthians 14:29). Even though prophecy differs, it still must be judged. Here are three main criteria for judging prophecy. #1 Does it bring glory to Jesus? "And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" (Revelation 19:10).
All prophecy must lift up and exalt Jesus. Any prophecy that lifts up a man or an organization above Jesus is not of God. A false prophecy will always try to divert the glory, the honor, and the attention to another person or group. Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world (1 John 4:1-3). Prophecies should never be flatteries or motivated by ulterior motives. The character of a prophet will reflect Jesus. "You will know them by their fruits." #2 Does it agree with God's Word? For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21). Deuteronomy 13:1-5 tells us that we should never believe a prophecy because of a sign only. Deuteronomy 18:20-22 tells us that a true prophecy will always come to pass because God does not lie. #3 Does it produce liberty or bondage? Prophecies are given through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Ask yourself this question after hearing a prophecy. "How does it feel in my spirit? Does it agree with the anointing in me?" It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil (Isaiah 10:27). A prophecy from God will always produce liberty because it is soaked in love. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing (1 Corinthians 13:2). A Few Nasty Words articulate (r-tk"y-lt) adj. 1. Endowed with the power of speech. 2. Composed of distinct, meaningful syllables or words, as human speech. 3. Expressing oneself easily in clear and effective language. 4. Characterized by the use of clear, expressive language. 5. Anatomy. Consisting of sections united by joints; jointed
EX 4:10 Then Moses said to the LORD, "O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue." 4:11 So the LORD said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the LORD? 4:12 "Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say." LK 21:14 "Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; 21:15 "for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. 21:16 "You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. 21:17 "And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. Just because a person is very good in articulating something doesn't mean he is right or great! Moses stammered and said some very nasty words to Pharaoh and the bible says about him what it says about very few others: DEUT 34:10 But since then there has not arisen in Israel a prophet like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, 34:11 in all the signs and wonders which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt, before Pharaoh, before all his servants, and in all his land, 34:12 and by all that mighty power and all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel. Just because evil men are articulate in their speech doesn't make what they say to be right or good: LK 6:45 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. Stephen who was a good man told the truth and they killed him for it because they didn't want to hear the truth ACTS 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. 6:9 Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen. 6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. 6:11 Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God." 6:12 And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council. 6:13 They also set up false witnesses who said, "This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law; 6:14 "for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us."
It's better to say a few nasty words that God gives you then a million nice articulate words that come from the flesh or the devil!
ACTS 7:51 "You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. 7:52 "Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers, 7:53 "who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it." 7:54 When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 7:56 and said, "Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!" Unfortunately for them many false ones cannot handle the Spirit of truth because He cannot and will not be controlled by anyone. So they end up being destroyed just like the murderers of Stephen who died in 70 A.D at the hands of the Romans: JN 16:13 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 1JN 2:27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. Name Calling JUDGING, EXPOSING ERROR, AND CALLING NAMES: IS IT RIGHT OR WRONG? Francis Swaggart Clearly, the True Jesus was in favor of righteous judgment; Jesus was no coward Attempting to find Biblical proof that Christians should not call names is clearly a futile effort! W.E. Vine says that discernment is a distinguishing, a clear discrimination ... judging by evidence whether they are evil or of God. So, is it right for a Christian to judge? Not only is judging, exposing error, and calling names the right thing for a Christian to do, it is not right not to do them. The Christian is actually disobeying God when he refuses to do such. In fact, Jesus taught that one of the greatest indicators of an evil leader is his very refusal to exercise judgment. In other words, it is really the people who dogmatically oppose judging, exposing error, and calling names whose sincerity should be questioned! Isnt it amazing how the church has been conditioned to believe just the opposite that those who point out error are somehow religious bigots? What a tragedy that those who are truly doing what is good are called evil. Jesus wept when Jerusalem killed the true Prophets (Mat. 23:37). Woe unto them who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isa. 5:20). THE TRUE SHEPHERD
God will put it in the heart of a true Shepherd to protect his flock! Jesus said, l am the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But he who is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep. The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep (Jn. 10:11-13). Jesus is saying here that if a leader does not guard the people of God, he is simply not a shepherd. He is a hireling, and more than likely his Christianity is completely false! Likewise, any layman who does not exercise discernment does not have the proper love of Christ for his brethren. The Lord told one true Shepherd, Ezekiel: Son of man, have made you a watchman unto the House of Israel: there fore hear the word at My mouth, and give them warning from Me (Ezek. 3:17). And Paul, another true Shepherd, encouraged the Church in Rome: Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them (Rom. 16:17). John the Baptist called the Pharisees and Sadducees a generation of vipers . . . (Mat. 3:7). True men and women of God are compelled with a Holy Call to defend that which is precious to the Lord, including both His Church and His Word If you do not sense that this part of your ministry, perhaps you are not called at all. The Word, which is Jesus Christ and Him Crucified, is the standard upon which the Christian is able to rightly judge. His Word is a mighty weapon, . . . the Sword of the Spirit. (Eph. 6:17). However, just as the authority of the Word is the greatest weapon with which the child of God may exercise discernment, the twisting of the Word can become a great weapon for the enemy. Knowing that Gods children value His Word, nothing has worked better for the Devil than to pervert it to confuse the Body of Christ. The Devil wants to distort it in the Believers mind, and suggest that certain passages mean something that the Lord never intended. This is why it is so important for every Believer to not only read the Bible, but to understand it. Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth (II Tim. 2:15). Matthew 7:1 is one of the most misused verses of Scripture with which people try to excuse their refusal to exercise righteous judgment: Judge not, that you be not judged. But, if you will notice, almost every time a person quotes this verse, he has neglected to consider the rest of the passage. He has lifted a verse out of context, which both stifles the true meaning and justifies a lie. See, in just the next few verses of Matthew, Chapter 7, it becomes obvious that the type of judgment referred to here involves self-righteous hypocrisy, not righteous judgment for the purposes of Redemption. Verses 4 through 5 say, Or how will you say to your brother Let me pull out the mote out of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then you shall see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brothers eye. This means that we can only judge righteously when our own sin has been dealt with! No one who is blinded by pride can rightly judge. When our own heart is right, however, our judgment can come from love. In these verses, Jesus shows us that a correct spiritual position
will indeed give us the ability to judge righteously! THE FRUIT Furthermore, Verses 16 and 17 teach us exactly how to judge by inspecting fruit! Fruit is the evidence that a new life in Christ has been planted in a persons heart and, accordingly, you will begin to see a changed life! On the contrary, evil fruit is a sign of the same old tree, the same old nature of man which is full of sin and self-pursuit. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. Paul did not hesitate to judge fruit. For I verily, as absent in body. but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him who has so done this deed. For what have I to do to judge them also who are without? do not you judge them who are within? But them who are without God judges. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person (1 Cor. 5:3, 12-13). Not only should we inspect fruit to protect the Body, but hopefully to give the one in sin a chance to get right with God. To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your glorying is not good . . . (5:5-6). Paul means, here in Verse 6, that glorying in a persons ability to live in sin while professing Christ at the same time was not a good thing. A sinful lifestyle is not acceptable to God, and Christians should not want to aid the sinner in his deception. PAUL Also, Paul did not hesitate, even in the slightest bit, to call names. He publicly called out the name of his friend and fellow brother in Christ, Peter, when Peter failed to uphold the standards of the Gospel. And thank God Paul did this so that Peter was able to see his error, repent, and continue on with the Lord and his ministry. Peter may have backslid altogether had he continued on the path he had started to follow. But when Peter was come to Antloch. I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed (Gal. 2:11). Godly correction is a good thing, and the Bible says that a wise man will welcome it! (Prov. 9:8). Preach the Word: be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine (II Tim. 4:2). Paul also named Demas for his refusal to follow the Lord: For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world (II Tim. 4:10). He named several others as well: Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil. ..(II Tim. 4:14). Hymenaeus and Alexander. whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not t blaspheme (I Tim. 1:20). .. of whom is Hymenaeus an. Philetus; who concerning tlu Truth have erred, saying thav the Resurrection is past already: and overthrow the Faith ol some (II Tim. 2:17-18). Also John named Diotrephes: . . . but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, receives us not (III in., vs. 9). Moses, John, Peter, and Jude all exposed the false prophet Balaam (Num., Ch. 22: Rev 2:14; II Pet. 2:15; Jude, vs. 11). Attempting to find Biblical proof that Christians should not call names is clearly a futile
effort! THE MAN, JESUS CHRIST The Lord Jesus Himself gave us the greatest example of how a Christian should live, because while He was both God and man, He did not act as God while on Earth. Rather, he carried out His earthly existence as a man full of the Holy Spirit. Knowing this, lets look at the position He took regarding righteous judgment. As we have already mentioned, Jesus warned us to Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheeps clothing. .. (Mat. 7:15). He also warned the people to watch out for the heresies of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy (Lk. 12:1). He made it very plain who was teaching false doctrine and spoke very strongly to these religious leaders. He said to one particular group of Pharisees, 0 generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Mat. 12:34). Throughout the New Testament, He called false religious leaders hypocrites, evil, blind guides, blind, whited sepulchers, serpents, etc. Since we know that Jesus never sinned, it is made plain to the Believer that calling a spade a spade is not sin. It is actually the right and honest thing to do. The ecumenical movement today, however, tries to do just the opposite, as Christian leaders attempt to maintain a fake fellowship with those who teach doctrines just as unscriptural as Pharisaical leaven. The church today even claims to have fellowship with an entirely different Gospel known as Roman Catholicism. Jesus did more than speak against false leaders at times. When He saw that the temple in Jerusalem was transforming into nothing more than a marketplace, He took it upon Himself to fashion a whip with His own hands (Jn. 2:13-16). Now, whips are not made for mild disciplinary procedures; the crack of a whip never sounds sweet! Yet, Jesus took the whip and with it, did something quite startling. He drove all the people and animals out of Gods house, poured out the changers money, and turned over their tables, all without any regret of His actions! Sometimes, the Holy Spirit makes us bold! Jesus actually cleaned out the temple in this manner twice, once at the beginning of His ministry and once at the end. You see, the mild-mannered, peace-loving Jesus that is presented today is not the Jesus of the Bible! If that is your idea of our Lord, you worship another Jesus (II Cor.11:4), and you might as well worship Buddha! Clearly, the True Jesus was in favor of righteous judgment; Jesus was no coward. This doesnt mean, however, that He did not have to endure some pain; it hurts when our refusal to compromise breeds the hatred of others. We often think of Jesus suffering at Calvary, but we sometimes forget the wounds He bore years before. Still, He never once apologized for His stand, and He never once backed down! There is one other point to be made here. While Jesus did make tremendous stands against the errors and hypocrisy of the religious leaders, he was not in the business of pointing out the personal sins of men. He quickly identified errant doctrine and spirit, but not personal failures. This brings us to another strong directive regarding biblical judgments. The bible says
Christians are to try the Spirits for there are many lying spirits . Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world (I in. 4:1). The Holy Spirit commended the church at Ephesus because they had. .. tried them which say they are Apostles, and are not, and have found them liars (Rev. 2:2). On the other hand, the church at Pergamos was rebuked because they tolerated the doctrine of Balaam and the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate (Rev. 2:14-15). The spirit of both persons and their doctrine should be tried or judged. Again, this weighing of spirit must be in accordance with the Word of God and, thereby, in accordance with the Holy Spirit as well. The scales should balance weighed against Gods Word. The Law and to the Testimony: they speak not according to this. Word, it is because there is n. light in them (Isa. 8:20). If you are looking for balance in your church by any other measure, the apostasy of your church has already begun. The Holy Spirit will bear witness when you receive a brother in Christ, so if you do not surely recognize this witness, you have reason to be cautious. In fact, a man might say everything right, but still be operating under the influence of another spirit. This is why the Bible tells us to try the spirit of a man, even more than his words or his actions, False brethren will lie, and false brethren will conform in outward action. But, praise God, He has given us a deeper level with which we can see the truth, with which we can expose the works of the enemy. The Spirit, Who works in accordance with the Word, will let us know if a man is a true brother in the Lord. The Holy Spirit cannot be fooled! Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His (Rom. 8:9). . . . and Circumcision is that of the heart in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God (Rom. 2:29).

Chapter 29
Milton Court And before discussing TACF motion Kambulow needed for the court to establish at the outset who are THE DEFENDANTS, Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF), John Arnott (Arnott) and Stephen Long (Long) and who and what is AIRD & BERLIS defending? Rejection of TACF Milton Motion Your Honor and the Superior Court of Ontario I am submitting my documents which the defendants have already received as to why this motion is to be rejected! Unlike others the Plaintiff Mr. Walter Kambulow doesnt own and control a nonprofit religious corporation to which he can hire and charge to the best solicitor from Toronto Bay Street that money can buy so he has no choice but to act as his own lawyer to protect himself from proven liars and slanderers! I also want to establish at the outset that the Plaintiff, Mr. Walter Kambulow, has not received to date a proper Statement of Defense from the Defendants to which he is entitled to have. The Plaintiff requests that that Court note the Defendants in default in not submitting a proper Statement of Defence which they could have done as they definitely dont lack manpower or resources! And before we begin discussing this motion the Plaintiff needs for the court to establish at the outset who are THE DEFENDANTS, Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF), John Arnott (Arnott) and Stephen Long (Long) and who and what is AIRD & BERLIS defending? In other words is Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship a Corporation or a Church or a Social Club or a fellowship? Is John Arnott in this motion the President of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation or Founding Pastor of a Church or an employee of TACF? Is Steve Long in this motion the Vice President of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation or Senior Pastor of a church or an employee of TACF? Is AIRD & BERLIS defending all these groups and individuals and what is their legal right to do so? Its my understanding that as of December 2007 the Board of Directors of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation were John G Arnott, President, Carol S Arnott, Director, June Bain, Stephen Long, Vice President, Joe Call Director, Duncan Smith, Director, Alan Macdonald, Director, Jeremy Sinnott, Secretary. (Mind you in a true nonprofit corporation there are no family members or staff on the board of directors!) For the record, the Plaintiff, Walter Kambulow, is not suing a church, but a corporation, called Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship whose officers including the President of the Corporation
and Vice President have been publically proven to liars and slanders who have publically using the internet, which is public domain, and the court slandered the Plaintiff and his family and have refused to retract or substantiate their slanders and have caused untold problems for the Plaintiff and his family! For example: Walter is as bad as they come He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of. The way that he slanders his wife in public is horendous. and if he had been a part of our church, which he wasn't; I wold be all over for him for slander. ; He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to himHe was a former member of TACF He is divorced This shown slander is an established fact which even TACF Corporation cannot deny or suggest that its only the action of one person who also is a Vice President and Senior Pastor and that the TACF corporation should not be held responsible or liable for that action. But unfortunately for TACF, the Corporation through its President is responsible for whatever goes on in the corporation including the actions of any employee be he or she a senior pastor or a janitor. And in this case the senior pastor who is also a vice president of TACF corporation used the term we in responding to Rick Meyers on behalf of President John Arnott and Fred Wright! Hence TACF as a corporation and John Arnott as the President and Steve Long as Vice President are liable in the Plaintiffs lawsuit for the slander and that is the Plaintiffs official position. Yes for the record, your client, the Defendants, including Steve Long acting in the capacity of Senior Pastor of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship with the blessings and support of TACF and John Arnott, published slanderous, defamatory, and malicious remarks about the Plaintiff which TACF and John Arnott refused to substantiate or retract as evidenced in Statement of Claim and the attached Schedules A, D, E, F, & G including the fact that on April 25, 2006, Pastor Steve Long falsely and maliciously published, to the Rick Meyers as listed in Schedule A and/or to the world at large on the internet false and defamatory words of and concerning the Plaintiffs (the Defamatory Publications). Pastor Steve Long had no direct relationship with the defendant and did not know him at all! Sub sequentially in spite of numerous emails and publications by the defendant on the matter the Defendant refused to substantiate his lies, defamation and character assassination of a stranger or take back his words and stonewalled the Defendant at every occasion. The Plaintiff has stated that he would provide particulars of the many incidents at the Courts or Longs request as detailed in schedule A and B of the November 26, 2006 REJECTION OF NOTICE OF MOTION Walter Kambulow, Plaintiff Walter Kambulow Statement to Milton Court on January 15, 2008

Kambulow vs. TACF et Arnott and Long - It was a great victorious day in court as not only TACF has to submit a statement of defense to Walter Kambulow but his counter suit of 100 million dollars against TACF and John Arnott and Steve Long stands. Before making his official ruling requiring TACF solicitors to make a proper statement of defense to Walter Kambulow and addressing the issue that the Kambulows lawsuit is unchanged and against TACF and John Arnott and Steve Long, so that Walter can have his day in court as well as rebut the statement of defense, the Judge of the Superior Court of Ontario allowed Walter Kambulow to summarize what were the main issues of the case and it was recorded as part of the court records. Walter Kambulow started by stating: Unlike others the Plaintiff Mr. Walter Kambulow doesnt own and control a nonprofit religious corporation to which he can hire and charge to the best solicitor from Toronto Bay Street that money can buy so he has no choice but to act as his own lawyer to protect himself from proven liars and slanderers! The Plaintiff, Mr. Walter Kambulow, has not received to date a proper Statement of Defense from the Defendants to which he is entitled to have. And before discussing TACF motion Kambulow needed for the court to establish at the outset who are THE DEFENDANTS, Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF), John Arnott (Arnott) and Stephen Long (Long) and who and what is AIRD & BERLIS defending? In other words is Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship a Corporation or a Church or a Social Club or a fellowship? Is John Arnott in this motion the President of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation or Founding Pastor of a Church or an employee of TACF? Is Steve Long in this motion the Vice President of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation or Senior Pastor of a church or an employee of TACF? Is AIRD & BERLIS defending all these groups and individuals and what is their legal right to do so? These are questions that TACF and its solicitors must answer and especially as who authorized and told !
Its Mr. Kambulow understanding that as of December 2007 the Board of Directors of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation were John G Arnott, President, Carol S Arnott, Director, June Bain, Stephen Long, Vice President, Joe Call Director, Duncan Smith, Director, Alan Macdonald, Director, Jeremy Sinnott, Secretary. (Mind you in a true nonprofit corporation there are no family members or staff on the board of directors!) Walter Kambulow is not suing a church, but a corporation, called Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship whose officers including the President of the Corporation and Vice President have been publically proven to be liars and slanders who have publically using the internet, which is public domain, and the court slandered the Plaintiff and his family and have refused to retract or substantiate their slanders and have caused untold problems for the Plaintiff and his family which has been established and confirmed to Steve Long by Kevin Gibb and John Szewczuk and is all over the web. John Arnott and Steve Long never had any relationship with Mr. Kambulow and he was never a member of TACF which is a lie by the defendants. The problem started because a former staff member of TACF, Jim Paul, Pastor of TACFs Satellite Church in Hamilton, Metro Church International, in 1995, carried on private discussions and meetings with Walters wife Sandra without Walters knowledge and presence and resulted in friction between Walter and Sandra! Walter Kambulow told the court all about Jim and Diane Pauls hypocrisy and weird behavior (See http://cnt10c.tripod.com/tb.htm) How the pastor filed for bankruptcy, how his church reduced greatly in numbers, how his treasurer left, how its a family run and owned ministry and how Diane runs around the church backwards during communion and says the Holy Ghost is making her do it. The Judge could not believe that Diane was running around backwards during service so Mr. Kambulow demonstrated to the court what she was doing and everybody laughed! Mr. Kambulow told the court to check out Toronto Blessing on Wikepedia and read what it says about TACF Christians: The Toronto Blessing is a transferable anointing. In its most visible form it overcomes worshippers with outbreaks of laughter, weeping, groaning, shaking, falling, 'drunkenness,' and even behaviours that have been described as a 'cross between a jungle and a farmyard.'" The UK magazine 'Christianity' wrote an article on the subject, also noting, "In one meeting in Dudley a woman in the congregation kept making loud cuckoo clock noises during the notices and sermon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_Blessing Now Rick Meyers, a friend, was told of Pastors Jim Pauls unethical and immoral behavior with Sandra and Walter Kambulow and he filed a complaint on October 29, 2005 with Senior Pastors John and Carol Arnott who forwarded the letter to Fred Wright. Rick Meyers and Fred Wright had discussions on the matter and then on April 25, 2006 Steve Long took it upon himself to write to Rick Meyers and blatantly slander and character assassinate Walter Kambulow with:
Walter is as bad as they come He has been disciplined by several churches in his past for rebelllion and blames every and all churches he has every been a part of. The way that he slanders his wife in public is horendous. and if he had been a part of our church, which he wasn't; I wold be all over for him for slander. ; He is not a part of our chrch so we are not responding to himTACFs lawsuit originated and signed by Pastor John Arnot against Kambulow also lied because it stated: He was a former member of TACF He is divorced Mr. Kambulows view is that TACF, through its President is responsible for whatever goes on in the corporation including the actions of any employee be he or she a senior pastor or a janitor. Hence TACF as a corporation and John Arnott as the President and Steve Long as Vice President are liable in the Plaintiffs lawsuit. Pastor Steve Long had no direct relationship with the defendant and did not know him at all! Sub sequentially in spite of numerous emails and publications by Kambulow and others on the matter the Pastor Steve Long refused to substantiate his lies, defamation and character assassination of a stranger or take back his words and stonewalled the Defendant at every occasion. Hence Mr. Kambulow is suing TACF and John Arnott and Steve Long! Mr. Kambulow also pointed out to the judge that TACFs lawsuit imposed on his rights and freedoms under the charter of rights to each individual including freedom of conscience and religion, freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication. As a result they are using highly priced Bay Street law firm charged to their personally owned nonprofit corporation to silence and destroy one of their critics Walter Kambulow because they dont like what he is stating truthfully about them! Mr. Kambulow brought to the attention of the court that his twin brother Paul Kambulow not only stated that John Arnott and Steve Long are liars and slanderers but Paul encountered a similar problem years ago in Calgary and has brought this matter up recently to the Prime Minister and others members of Parliament of how Calgary Christian center church incorporation was rightfully removed by the federal government. i.e.: It is very ironical that the clearly bad Pastors who had sued Walter Kambulow for supposedly slandering them, are themselves rather lying and slandering, violating the basic laws of God, the ten commandments. "Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a nonprofit, religious corporation, has also gone to the Supreme Court of Ontario again to try and silence Walter Kambulow from exercising his right of sending emails to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Members of Parliament, the news media, and others " (http://cnt10a.tripod.com/tblaw.htm
http://cnt10a.tripod.com/tb.htm) Yes, the Pastors of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, including John Arnott, Steve long and Fred Wright, have not even denied for too long of a period of reasonable time Walter Kambulow's written accusations towards them and thus in the eyes of the law they can no longer deny them , rather TCAF have accepted them as truthful. The whole scenario is also still pathetic too.. Professing Christian Pastors, believers go to court against the other Christian believers clearly not allowed by the Bible too.. no wise Christian persons able to resolve this all? Now you already do know about the past Calgary Christian center church, run by clearly the bad no good, slandering, thieving pastor David lagore, and family a Canadian Pentecostal family run and owned religious nonprofit church Corporation, organization, ministry as I had witnessed , detailed to the news media and the federal government too, that was investigated by the federal Government and others also and it's incorporation was rightfully removed by the federal government too. So I am not surprised by these new allegations my brother now makes against the same Pentecostals groups, even the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.. Most people who attend an evangelical church and donate money to it do rightfully think it is a congregational church, owned and run by the members of the church and not shockingly to find next rather it is a dictatorial, one many ministry owned by the pastor himself.. a fact generally not disclosed or advertised to the donators.. so there is not real accountability of the bad pastor's acts next as well. Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley announced a Senate investigation into whether six televangelists violated their organizations' tax-exempt status by living lavishly on the money small donors had contributed As a result Walter Kambulow with the aid of Mike Wallace Member of Parliament for Burlington and others are working on having Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Incorporation removed by the federal government too as well as being investigated by different government branches. In Canada there are many Pentecostal churches or ministries such as TACF, Prayer Palace in Toronto, Victory International Church of Hamilton, and 100 Huntley Street that are family owned and run and we cannot have wolves in sheeps clothing doing their thing! Walter then read to the court his latest letter of January 14, 2008 to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Members of Parliament and the News media: You all are very educated and intelligent people? So could you answer the following questions for me: 1) Since when is God on the side of liars, rapists and thieves even if they are pastors? He is not! 2) How can Evangelicals pastors who are proven slanderers, liars, and backstabbers sue anybody for slander? They cannot!
3) How can these Evangelicals pastors use their nonprofit religious corporation to carry out in secret their evil and wicked deeds of trying to destroy someone because they dont like what he or she is saying? They cannot 4) Are these evangelical pastors any different than the Pharisees and Sadducees who murdered Jesus and Stephen because He told the truth about them? They are not! So again for the good of all Canadians checkout, investigate and deal with all Pentecostal Family Owned and Run Ministries in Canada including Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, the Prayer Palace in Toronto, Victory International Church in Hamilton, and 100 Huntley Street in Burlington, just like United States Senator Mr. Grassley is doing and as a result news media coverage of the letters to the six ministries, his office has been flooded with calls about them and other church organizations, too, the aides said. In other words the New York Times told us there is a serious problem with lack of transparency and accountability with Ministries in America! The presiding Judge said he was aware that Mr. Kambulow wrote many books and articles and inquired if he was paid for it. He complimented Mr. Kambulow for being a brilliant professional who no doubt was successful in all that he did. Mr. Kambulow retorted that he was a civil engineer, a project control manager, a proposal manager for one of the largest Engineering firms in Canada, etc. as well as a successful President of his own company doing a mega volume of business and loved writing articles for different newspapers as well as the Electronic press and his specialty was Wolves in sheeps clothing and would continue do so. The judge denied and overruled the motions and objections brought by TACF solicitor and ordered that TACF submit to Mr. Kambulow by January 30, 2008 a proper statement of defense so that he can reply to it and go to trial on February 13, 2008! At one point the judge brought up the fact that he saw or ready something about Benny Hinn and his lack of integrity and thieving. Mr. Kambulow responded immediately and said to the judge Funny you should talk about Benny Hinn, he is a friend and mentor of John Arnott. But its not surprising for birds of feather stick together January 15, 2008

THEY ARE NOT MEN OF INTEGRITY THEY ARE NOT MEN OF INTEGRITY BUT WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING JUST LIKE THEIR FRIENDS RICHARD ROBERTS AND BENNY HINN AND RODNEY HOWARD BROWNE! WALTER KAMBULOW Richard Roberts (evangelist) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Richard Roberts (born November 12, 1948, Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American televangelist and a former president of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is the son of televangelist Oral Roberts. Richard Roberts hosts the religious television show Something Good Tonight. He is also president and chief executive officer of the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association and has conducted evangelistic crusades on six continents since 1980. In October 2007 Roberts was named as a defendant in a widely publicized lawsuit alleging improper usage of university funds for political and personal purposes along with the improper use of university resources. The scandal led to his resignation the following month.[1] As a young man, Richard Roberts accompanied his father Oral Roberts on evangelistic crusades beginning with Haiti in 1968. He and his first wife Patti sang with the ORU World Action Singers, released recordings together, and performed on his father's television specials. In the early 1980s, he began faith healing crusades after claiming to have heard a calling from God.[2] According to the ORU website, Richard has three degrees from ORU: "bachelors, masters, and a doctorate."[3] In 1985, he became executive vice president of ORU. In 1987, Time magazine reported Richard's controversial claim to have seen his father raise a child from the dead.[4] He was elected as the university's second president and chief executive officer on January 27, 1993. He resigned these posts on November 23, 2007. [edit] Disclosed earnings According to Charity Navigator, Richard earned $477,122 a year as president and CEO of Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association. His wife Lindsay earned $196,818 a year as executive vice president, and his father Oral earns $161,872 a year as a trustee.[5] The Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association has an overall efficiency rating of 1 out of 4 stars.[6] [edit] Family Roberts married his first wife Patti in 1968. They had two daughters, Christine and Julene. Richard and Patti were highly visible participants in the Oral Roberts ministry, being groomed for leadership of the organization when they divorced in 1979. Patti Roberts subsequently wrote a book about her marriage to Richard called Ashes to Gold. In a 1987 review Martin Gardner concluded Patti left Richard because of "her distress in watching Richard turn into a clone of Oral, and shameless way that she and Richard rationalized their jet-set way of life."[7] Ten months after the divorce, Richard married his second wife, Lindsay. They reside in Tulsa, Oklahoma with their three daughters Jordan, Olivia and Chloe.[8][9] The Roberts live in a home

valued at more than $1.4 million provided by ORU rent rent-free as a tax-exempt benefit.[10] exempt [edit] ORU lawsuit and scandal Wikinews has related news: Oral Roberts University president accused of illegal political donations and financial misappropriation In October 2007 three former professors filed a lawsuit in Tulsa County. They claimed to have been wrongfully terminated. They also alleged Roberts misused university assets and illegally also ordered the university to participate in Republican candidate Randi Miller's political campaign 's for Tulsa mayor. This occurred while the tax exempt university was working lawfully with the tax-exempt Republican National Committee on out-of-state projects as part of a long-standing, pre standing, pre-approved curriculum which had been in place for several years.[11][12] Other allegations against Roberts include claims he used university funds to pay for his daughter's trip to The Bahamas by providing the university jet and billing other costs to the the school, maintains a stable of horses on campus and at university expense for the exclusive use of his children, regularly summons university and ministry staff to the Roberts house to do his daughters homework, has remodeled his house at university expense 11 times in the past 14 rk, years, allowed the university to be billed both for damage done by his daughters to university universityowned golf carts and for video-taped vandalism caused by one of his minor daughters, la taped later alleged to be Chloe Roberts (along with benefiting from school property she allegedly stole during the same incident, even after he was informed) and acquired a red Mercedes convertible and a white Lexus SUV for his wife Lindsay through ministry donors.[13] [14] Lindsay Roberts, who is referred to in ORU publicity as the university's "first lady," is accused of spending tens of thousands of dollars of university funds on clothes, awarding nonacademic scholarships to the children of family friends and sending text messages on university university-issued cell phones to people described in the lawsuit as "underage males."[15] The lawsuit also alleges a longtime maintenance employee was fired for the purpose of giving the job to an underage male friend of Lindsay Roberts.[16] Richard Roberts publicly responded by saying, "This lawsuit ...is about intimidation, blackmail and extortion." A former ORU professor Tim Brooker, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, questioned the university's survival. "All over that campus," said Brooker, "there are signs up e that say, 'And God said, build me a university, build it on my authority, and build it on the Holy Spirit.' Unfortunately, ownership has shifted."[17] United Church of Christ Bishop Carlton Pearson, a former protege of Oral Roberts, said Richard Pearson, Roberts was "born into privilege... What others may call extravagance he may not see it as extravagant." According to CNN, Pearson said he was disappointed but not surprised by the allegations, explaining, "These kinds of things are common among family owned and operated family-owned businesses and ministries. They don't cross every T and dot every I."[18] Wikinews has related news: More allegations filed against Oral Roberts University
On 12 October the plaintiffs filed an amended version of the lawsuit alleging three days after the original lawsuit was filed, Roberts fired the university's financial comptroller (who had been employed by ORU for 26 years) and "witnesses have reported voluminous materials and documents were shredded and destroyed, constituting spoilation of evidence." The filing also alleged Lindsay Roberts had spent at least nine nights in the ORU guest house with an underage 16 year old male who also was allowed to live in the Roberts family residence on campus, a situation which made their oldest daughter so uncomfortable, she insisted deadbolt locks be installed on all bedroom doors in the house.[19] In a written response to the later allegations Lindsay Roberts said, "I live my life in a morally upright manner and throughout my marriage have never, ever engaged in any sexual behavior with any man outside of my marriage as the accusations imply. Allegations against me in a lawsuit yesterday are not true. They sicken me to my soul." In a separate written statement the university denied "purposely or improperly" destroying documents.[20] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Roberts_(evangelist) REJECTION OF NOM for Leave to Appeal From: walter kambulow [mailto:walthope@cogeco.ca] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 9:22 PM To: 'Pamela Miehls' Subject: TACF ats Kambulow - REJECTION OF NOM for Leave to Appeal Dear Pamela Mielhs Here with are some of my official reasons for rejection of motion for leave to appeal served upon you pursuant to the Rules of Civil Procedure. 1) The only court date that I accept for any discussion is February 13, 2008 as Justice Clark combined the two lawsuits as one and ordered TACF to submit a proper Statement of Defence to Walter Kambulow by January 30, 2008-01-22. As a result I will request that the court hold TACF in default on February 13, 2008 if they fail to comply with Justice Clarks order! 2) Also please find served previously upon you pursuant to the Rules of Civil Procedure my Rejection of Milton Motion dated December 27, 2007 which I tried to submit to Justice Clark who said it would be accepted and read by new judge on February 13 for the combined lawsuit. Noteworthy is Appendix A and B which defines when and how Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship through its pastors slandered and defamed Walter Kambulow on April 25,2005 not August 25, 2005! 3) Its to be noted that Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a nonprofit corporation incorporated pursuant to the laws of Ontario, action on about October 29, 2007 against Walter Kambulow is for alleged defamation, not proven defamation!
4) Its to be noted that Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, a nonprofit corporation, is responsible for all the deeds and actions of its executive and employees including Steve Long and John Arnott and Mr. Kambulows lawsuit is against the corporation! 5) Its to be noted that it has not been established the employees Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship alleged defamation in the carrying out of their duties is a reason for using or are they authorized to sue using the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship Corporation or that they have to right to sue in their capacity as pastors! 6) Its to be noted that TACFs lawsuit has not established that all the websites and emails are owned by Mr Kambulow which they are not! 7) Its to be noted that the Kambulow TACF Lawsuit Preliminary attached here with and will be used in all court cases with TACF establishes the reason and motives for Mr. Kambulows lawsuit, complaints and disgust with Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship and its pastors John Arnott and Steve Long! 8) Its also to be noted that Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship claims its primarily a church and as such cannot be adjudicated by a court of law without using the bible as point of reference and comparing their words and deeds with the bible and the teachings of Jesus! Using any secular organization as a point of reference or discussion is invalid because TACF is primarily a Christian Church not a secular organization or corporation 9) Its also to be noted that Kambulow TACF Lawsuit Preliminary contains more than enough material to show that TACF and its pastors are in error not only in their slander, defamation, backstabbing, stonewalling, cowardice, etc. but in Christian Doctrine! 10) Its to be noted that the bible doesnt permit Christians to take Christian to secular court as TACF has done and is doing. 11) Its to be noted that according to the bible and the teachings of Jesus Pastors Steve Long and John Arnott must repent for their proven lies as established by Kevin Gibb and John Szewczuk 12) Its to be noted that Walter Kambulow is not divorced nor has every been a member of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship as stated in TACFs lawsuit! 13) Its to be noted that any reference by TACF to Walter Kambulows marriage or his wife is pure defamation and slander that has no truth in reality but is only an unproven supposition and cannot continue in any way without additional lawsuits against TACF by Mr. Kambulow! << REJECTION OF MILTON MOTION.PDF>> < <KAMBULOW TACF LAWSUIT PRELIMINARY.PDF>> Sincerely, Walter Kambulow Burlington Ontario http://tacf.tripod.com/kamtacf.pdf http://cnt10c.tripod.com/tblaw.htm http://cnt10c.tripod.com/tb.htm http://apostasytoday.tripod.com/arnott.htm http://crooksaog.tripod.com/
The Question DO YOU APPRECIATE HOW SCARED TORONTO AIRPORT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP IS OF JUDGE CLARKE'S DECISION OF JANUARY 15 2008 ACCEPTING WALTER KAMBULOW LAWSUIT AGAINST TACF AND PASTORS JOHN ARNOTT AND STEVE LONG AND TELLING THEM THAT THEY HAD TO SUBMIT A PROPER WRITTEN STATEMENT OF DEFENSE SO THAT HE COULD HAVE HIS DAY IN COURT ON FEBRUARY 13, 2008? IT MEANS NOT ONLY THAT TACF CORPORATION WHICH HAS REAL ASSETS IS BEING SUED AND COULD LOSE THEIR CASE BUT KAMBULOW COULD CROSS EXAMINE PASTORS JOHN ARNOTT AND STEVE LONG ON THE WITNESS STAND AND ASK THEM ALL KINDS OF QUESTIONS AND REPORT THEIR ANSWERS TO THE WORLD DEMONSTRATING THAT THEY ARE NOT MEN OF INTEGRITY BUT WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING JUST LIKE THEIR FRIENDS RICHARD ROBERTS AND BENNY HINN AND RODNEY HOWARD BROWNE!

But what do these liars, thieves, scoundrels care about the law or justice or truth except to get their own way at all costs and using any trick and method to prevent Pastors John Arnott and Steve Long from appearing in court so they can be cross examined by Walter Kambulow for all their lies, backstabbing, slanders and dirty tricks! Now that is not a very Christian thing for Pentecostal Evangelical pastors to do who are supposed to be honest, loving, caring, truthful men of integrity without any deceit or hatefulness to try to derive Walter Kambulow from suing them and having his date in court for their proven liars and slander?

Chapter 31
OTHER POINTS We must embrace humility. This was the overarching theme of the Orlando event. Robert Morris, pastor of Gateway Church in suburban Dallas, said we must go overboard in humility by being genuine, touchable and accessible. Naomi Dowdy, who has pastored in Singapore for more than 30 years, noted that too many leaders today are enamored with their image or their frequent flyer status. We think we are OK because our numbers are good Eight Prophetic Directives for 2008 We are desperate for a word from God in a year of new beginnings. I received these encouraging insights while listening to a group of Christian leaders gathered in Orlando. 2007 was a difficult year, but Im feeling more positive about 2008 after spending two days with 61 key leaders of our movement. They convened in Charismas offices this week for the Charismatic Leadership Summit, an informal and refreshingly honest dialogue designed to help the church respond proactively to current challenges. We didnt solve the worlds problems by having this discussion. But a smaller miracle occurred when we knelt together on the first night and repented of the pride that has tainted the American church. The holy hush of that moment encouraged me more than any comment made from the podium. Heres my feeble attempt to summarize what these leaders said, and what God was saying through them, during three sessions that focused on these questions: (1) Where is the charismatic movement headed? (2) Is the charismatic movement healthy? and (3) Is the charismatic movement making a difference? "As we enter this significant year of challenge and opportunity, a big 'IF' hangs over us. Our faithfulness to God will be determined by whether we made the Great Commission our priority. "
1.
We must have personal revival. Marcus Lamb, founder of the Daystar Television Network, fought back tears as he lamented how far leaders have fallen in this day of Christian superstar scandals. When was the last time we fasted? he asked. When was the last time we studied the Word just to hear from God? Lamb believes an alarm was sounded in 2007 that is calling each of us back to the simplicity of devotion to Jesus. 2. We must embrace humility. This was the overarching theme of the Orlando event. Robert Morris, pastor of Gateway Church in suburban Dallas, said we must go overboard in humility by being genuine, touchable and accessible. Naomi Dowdy, who has pastored in Singapore for more than 30 years, noted that too many leaders today are enamored with their image or their frequent flyer status. We think we are OK because our numbers are good. But prayer will break that seduction, she advised. Missionary mobilizer David Shibley, who spends most of his time training pastors in
Africa and Asia, said he believes God is raising up a new breed of charismatic leaders today who display anointing without arrogance, boldness without brashness, and power without pride. Steve Murrell, a missionary to the Philippines and leader of the Every Nation church-planting movement, said his main concern for the American church is a prideful spirit. His comment prompted the crowd to get on their knees in repentance. 3. We are experiencing gracious judgment. Many leaders alluded to recent theological and moral scandals involving charismatic ministers. Theologian and author R.T. Kendall, based in Nashville, Tenn., explained that there are five kinds of judgment in the Bible, some of which have no positive outcome. Gracious judgment, he said, involves correction but leads people to repentance and obedience. Joni Lamb of Daystar called 2007 a year of sifting and shaking and then held up a plumb line like the one described in the book of Amos. She said the Lord is measuring the church in this hour, and then asked: Are we lining up to the Lords plumb line? Are we men and women of character in a world of compromise? 4. We must balance the prosperity message. Although not everyone in the room was in agreement about the recent U.S. Senate investigation of six charismatic ministers, many called for restraint and a new attitude toward money. Several leaders, including Hispanic apostle Hctor Torres, emphasized that God is calling us to a higher standard of ethics, integrity and corporate governance. A prophetic warning was also issued: Leaders should either adopt a policy of full disclosure in the financial area, or they can expect full exposure of financial misdeeds. Robert Morris used the term hyper-prosperity to describe a theology that emphasizes wealth and personal blessing. He urged leaders to teach people to give extravagantly, not expecting anything in return instead of suggesting that people should give to get. Revivalist Rodney Howard-Browne bluntly suggested that the prosperity movement has gone off the tracks. Biblical prosperity, he explained, is not given so that people can focus on buying houses or cars but so they can fund the work of world evangelism. 5. Its time to get back to evangelism. The phrase get back to the basics was repeated numerous times over the course of our 24-hour session. Michigan pastor Barbara Yoder told how she totally restructured her church in Ann Arbor last year because her congregation was not evangelizing or nurturing new believers. Weve got to make it simple, she said. Dallas-based evangelist Steve Hill agreed, announcing that our priorities must return to soul-winning and discipleship. Other leaders, while stressing the absolute importance of the presence and power of God in our churches, cautioned against an inordinate emphasis on manifestations of the Holy Spirit. We must get back to the core doctrines of the Bible, and test all things, said prophetic minister Cindy Jacobs of Dallas, noting that our focus must not be on manifestations but on souls. Rice Broocks, pastor of Bethel World Outreach Center in Nashville Tenn., said he believes our mandate for 2008 is simple: Dont get cute. Dont get fancy. Go and make
disciples. He urged leaders to stop majoring in minors when evangelism has been neglected. David Shibley reinforced that message, noting that since the death of Bill Bright in 2003, no one is really championing the necessity of evangelizing the world in our lifetime. 6. We must root out racism in the church. The tensest moment in the discussion came after California-based church leader Samuel Rodriguez, president for the National Association of Hispanic Evangelicals, called on the group to challenge racist attitudes toward Hispanics. He warned that unless we develop a true kingdom DNA in our churchesby welcoming and celebrating all ethnic groupswe will not successfully impact our culture or enact biblical justice on issues such as immigration policy. Charismatic prophet Rick Joyner also challenged what he called spiritual bigotry that is caused by our prideful attitude about the groups we are associated with. 7. Holiness is not an option. The leaders had a lively discussion on the need for proper accountability so that leaders who have moral failures can be properly restored. Mike Bickle, founder of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Kan. decried the greasy grace that quickly forgives a fallen brother but does not offer tough love and discipline. That is no grace at all, he said. Everyone agreed that leaders not only must learn to restore but also must focus on how to prevent moral failurewhich will require a new emphasis on holy living. 8. God is calling us to transform society. Several leaders, including Harry Jackson of Washington, D.C., noted that American cultureand our governmentis becoming increasingly hostile to the Christian faith. He and others challenged the group to become active politically, in the current presidential contest and on every level. If we run from our calling to transform culture, we may end up in a fishs mouth like Jonah. We must engage in a kingdom mission rather than hide behind an escapist Left Behind eschatology. Barbara Wentroble, an apostolic leader from Dallas, noted that Christians for too long have viewed politics, education and the financial realm as evil when we must see those arenas as mountains to claim for Christ. My quick summary: As we enter this significant year of challenge and opportunity, a big 'IF' hangs over us. Our faithfulness to God will be determined not by our prophetic conferences, the size of our churches, the trendiness of our music or whether we have gold dust appearing in our meetings. It will be judged by whether we make the Great Commission our priority. J. Lee Grady is the editor of Charisma.

It calls God's people not just to understand our changing times from the world's perspective, but to actually flow with the wind and help fuel the transformation. It uses familiar
old words to persuade the people, but it conforms God's Word as well as human thinking to politically correct views of unity, community, service and change. Behavioral laboratories, schools, UNESCO and liberal churches all helped light that fire during the 20th century. Hidden from sight, their subversive efforts seared America's Biblical foundations and prepared the masses to believe a lie. Now, at the dawn of the new millennium, "conservative" and "evangelical" churches are following suit. Worldwide "Christian" networks provide trained leadership and management consultants to guide God's people along this alluring superhighway to a new world order. Forget the old narrow way that leads to life. Today's "change agents" hope to popularize Christianity so effectively that whole nations will join their crusade. Forget solid Bible teaching and "the offense of the cross." To win the masses "for Christ", the church must be re-cloaked in a more permissive and appealing image. It must be marketed to the world as "a safe place," purged of the moral standards that stirred conviction of sin and a longing to separate from the world's immorality. So they re-imagined a feel-good church stripped of offense - one the world could love and claim as its own. Their march to a "better world" is well under way. In this new church, group thinking, compromise, conflict resolution, the dialectic process and facilitated consensus are in. Uncompromising conviction and resistance to group consensus are out. For God's way seems far too intolerant to fit the managed systems of the new millennium. As a result Bill Liniewicz and his family can no longer share in the fellowship at Chain of Lakes Community Bible Church (CLCBC) in Illinois. Like other members who questioned the new church management, he has been banned from the communion table. By declining a series of "counseling" sessions and by failing to attend a "Solemn Assembly" -- a special congregational meeting for the purpose of public confession, brokenness, reconciliation and healing -- he supposedly proved his "unwillingness to submit" to his spiritual authorities. There's only one way that "insubordinate" people like Bill would be welcomed back into fellowship: they must follow the steps to "reconciliation" determined by the new interim pastor. For Bill, reconciliation would mean compromise, for he could neither trust the new leadership nor agree with the proposed program. And disagreement was, apparently, unacceptable to the new leadership. As Jim Van Yperen, the "intentional interim pastor" would soon teach, "There's not a lot of things you have permission to disagree about." What, then, was Bill's initial sin? During one of many "adult group forums" held to introduce and discuss the new church agenda, he had shared his lack of peace, called for spiritual discernment and asked some challenging questions about the psychological strategies that might be used to produce change. He had reasons to be concerned. It all began with some unresolved issues in the church. The last senior pastor had left and CLCBC continued to struggle with disunity. The old-timers still saw Bible teaching as the main
focus, while others preferred the feel-good relational "church growth" approach to "doing church." When the assistant pastor suggested outside consultation, the board agreed. It soon met with Metanoia Ministries, headed by Van Yperen. His team assessed the congregation, presented a diagnosis and proposed a solution. So Bill Liniewicz became one of God's "lone ranger Christians" who are scattered around the world. Many have left the churches they loved because they couldn't submit to compromising leaders. Most have sought Bible teaching churches in their community but found only shallow, feel-good messages stripped of truths that might offend. Some have established house churches, while others continue to seek genuine fellowship in Christ. But the fact remains that many, many churches are dead, impotent and anemic and have very little value to society. They deny apostles, prophets, miracles and other gifts of the Spirit. Their services are composed of useless educational religious games in different formats. But the bottom line is you are no different when you come out then when you went in. Your needs are not miraculously meet by God's wonderful miracle working power but you are encouraged to try harder and to endure all the negative things that come your way. Yet God's word is unchanging: And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was. 1Timothy 3:1-9 http://cnt10.tripod.com/edit.htm Banned From Church Reviving an ancient practice, churches are exposing sinners and shunning those who won't repent.
By ALEXANDRA ALTER January 18, 2008; Page W1
On a quiet Sunday morning in June, as worshippers settled into the pews at Allen Baptist Church in southwestern Michigan, Pastor Jason Burrick grabbed his cellphone and dialed 911. When a
dispatcher answered, the preacher said a former congregant was in the sanctuary. "And we need to, um, have her out A.S.A.P." Half an hour later, 71-year-old Karolyn Caskey, a church member for nearly 50 years who had taught Sunday school and regularly donated 10% of her pension, was led out by a state trooper and a county sheriff's officer. One held her purse and Bible. The other put her in handcuffs. (Listen to the 911 call1) The charge was trespassing, but Mrs. Caskey's real offense, in her pastor's view, was spiritual. Several months earlier, when she had questioned his authority, he'd charged her with spreading "a spirit of cancer and discord" and expelled her from the congregation. "I've been shunned," she says. Her story reflects a growing movement among some conservative Protestant pastors to bring back church discipline, an ancient practice in which suspected sinners are privately confronted and then publicly castigated and excommunicated if they refuse to repent. While many Christians find such practices outdated, pastors in large and small churches across the country are expelling members for offenses ranging from adultery and theft to gossiping, skipping service and criticizing church leaders. Hear an interview2 with Doug Laycock, a professor of constitutional law at the University of Michigan, about the legal implications of church discipline. Hear the 911 call3 made by Pastor Burrick. *** CAST OFF Timeline:4 View a brief history of shunning and excommunication. The revival is part of a broader movement to restore churches to their traditional role as moral enforcers, Christian leaders say. Some say that contemporary churches have grown soft on sinners, citing the rise of suburban megachurches where pastors preach self-affirming messages rather than focusing on sin and redemption. Others point to a passage in the gospel of Matthew that says unrepentant sinners must be shunned. Causing Disharmony Watermark Community Church, a nondenominational church in Dallas that draws 4,000 people to services, requires members to sign a form stating they will submit to the "care and correction" of church elders. Last week, the pastor of a 6,000-member megachurch in Nashville, Tenn., threatened to expel 74 members for gossiping and causing disharmony unless they repented. The congregants had sued the pastor for access to the church's financial records. First Baptist Church of Muscle Shoals, Ala., a 1,000-member congregation, expels five to seven members a year for "blatant, undeniable patterns of willful sin," which have included adultery,
drunkenness and refusal to honor church elders. About 400 people have left the church over the years for what they view as an overly harsh persecution of sinners, Pastor Jeff Noblit says. The process can be messy, says Al Jackson, pastor of Lakeview Baptist Church in Auburn, Ala., which began disciplining members in the 1990s. Once, when the congregation voted out an adulterer who refused to repent, an older woman was confused and thought the church had voted to send the man to hell. Amy Hitt, 43, a mortgage officer in Amissville, Va., was voted out of her Baptist congregation in 2004 for gossiping about her pastor's plans to buy a bigger house. Her ouster was especially hard on her twin sons, now 12 years old, who had made friends in the church, she says. "Some people have looked past it, but then there are others who haven't," says Ms. Hitt, who believes the episode cost her a seat on the school board last year; she lost by 42 votes. Scholars estimate that 10% to 15% of Protestant evangelical churches practice church discipline -- about 14,000 to 21,000 U.S. congregations in total. Increasingly, clashes within churches are spilling into communities, splitting congregations and occasionally landing church leaders in court after congregants, who believed they were confessing in private, were publicly shamed. In the past decade, more than two dozen lawsuits related to church discipline have been filed as congregants sue pastors for defamation, negligent counseling and emotional injury, according to the Religion Case Reporter, a legal-research database. Peggy Penley, a Fort Worth, Texas, woman whose pastor revealed her extramarital affair to the congregation after she confessed it in confidence, waged a six-year battle against the pastor, charging him with negligence. Last summer, the Texas Supreme Court dismissed her suit, ruling that the pastor was exercising his religious beliefs by publicizing the affair. Courts have often refused to hear such cases on the grounds that churches are protected by the constitutional right to free religious exercise, but some have sided with alleged sinners. In 2003, a woman and her husband won a defamation suit against the Iowa Methodist conference and its superintendent after he publicly accused her of "spreading the spirit of Satan" because she gossiped about her pastor. A district court rejected the case, but the Iowa Supreme Court upheld the woman's appeal on the grounds that the letter labeling her a sinner was circulated beyond the church. Advocates of shunning say it rarely leads to the public disclosure of a member's sin. "We're not the FBI; we're not sniffing around people's homes trying to find out some secret sin," says Don Singleton, pastor of Ridgeview Baptist Church in Talladega, Ala., who says the 50-member church has disciplined six members in his 2 years as pastor. "Ninety-nine percent of these cases never go that far." When they do, it can be humiliating. A devout Christian and grandmother of three, Mrs. Caskey moves with a halting gait, due to two artificial knees and a double hip replacement. Friends and family describe her as a generous woman who helped pay the electricity bill for Allen Baptist, in Allen, Mich., when funds were low, gave the church $1,200 after she sold her van, and even cut
the church's lawn on occasion. She has requested an engraved image of the church on her tombstone. Gossip and Slander Her expulsion came as a shock to some church members when, in August 2006, the pastor sent a letter to the congregation stating Mrs. Caskey and an older married couple, Patsy and Emmit Church, had been removed for taking "action against the church and your preacher." The pastor, Mr. Burrick, told congregants the three were guilty of gossip, slander and idolatry and should be shunned, according to several former church members. "People couldn't believe it," says Janet Biggs, 53, a former church member who quit the congregation in protest. The conflict had been brewing for months. Shortly after the church hired Mr. Burrick in 2005 to help revive the congregation, which had dwindled to 12 members, Mrs. Caskey asked him to appoint a board of deacons to help govern the church, a tradition outlined in the church's charter. Mr. Burrick said the congregation was too small to warrant deacons. Mrs. Caskey pressed the issue at the church's quarterly business meetings and began complaining that Mr. Burrick was not following the church's bylaws. "She's one of the nicest, kindest people I know," says friend and neighbor Robert Johnston, 69, a retired cabinet maker. "But she won't be pushed around." In April 2006, Mrs. Caskey received a stern letter from Mr. Burrick. "This church will not tolerate this spirit of cancer and discord that you would like to spread," it said. Mrs. Caskey, along with Mr. and Mrs. Church, continued to insist that the pastor follow the church's constitution. In August, she received a letter from Mr. Burrick that said her failure to repent had led to her removal. It also said he would not write her a transfer letter enabling her to join another church, a requirement in many Baptist congregations, until she had "made things right here at Allen Baptist." She went to Florida for the winter, and when she returned to Michigan last June, she drove the two miles to Allen Baptist as usual. A church member asked her to leave, saying she was not welcome, but Mrs. Caskey told him she had come to worship and asked if they could speak after the service. Twenty minutes into the service, a sheriff's officer was at her side, and an hour later, she was in jail. "It was very humiliating," says Mrs. Caskey, who worked for the state of Michigan for 25 years before retiring from the Department of Corrections in 1992. "The other prisoners were surprised to see a little old lady in her church clothes. One of them said, 'You robbed a church?' and I said, 'No, I just attended church.' " Word quickly spread throughout Allen, a close-knit town of about 200 residents. Once a thriving community of farmers and factory workers, Allen consists of little more than a strip of dusty antiques stores. Mr. and Mrs. Church, both in their 70s, eventually joined another Baptist congregation nearby.
About 25 people stopped attending Allen Baptist Church after Mrs. Caskey was shunned, according to several former church members. Current members say they support the pastor's actions, and they note that the congregation has grown under his leadership. The simple, white-washed building now draws around 70 people on Sunday mornings, many of them young families. "He's a very good leader; he has total respect for the people," says Stephen Johnson, 66, an auto parts inspector, who added that Mr. Burrick was right to remove Mrs. Caskey because "the Bible says causing discord in the church is an abomination." Mrs. Caskey went back to the church about a month after her arrest, shortly after the county prosecutor threw out the trespassing charge. More than a dozen supporters gathered outside, some with signs that read "What Would Jesus Do?" She sat in the front row as Mr. Burrick preached about "infidels in the pews," according to reports from those present. Once again, Mrs. Caskey was escorted out by a state trooper and taken to jail, where she posted the $62 bail and was released. After that, the county prosecutor dismissed the charge and told county law enforcement not to arrest her again unless she was creating a disturbance. In the following weeks, Mrs. Caskey continued to worship at Allen Baptist. Some congregants no longer spoke to her or passed the offering plate, and some changed seats if she sat next to them, she says. Mr. Burrick repeatedly declined to comment on Mrs. Caskey's case, calling it a "private ecclesiastical matter." He did say that while the church does not "blacklist" anyone, a strict reading of the Bible requires pastors to punish disobedient members. "A lot of times, flocks aren't willing to submit or be obedient to God," he said in an interview before a Sunday evening service. "If somebody is not willing to be helped, they forfeit their membership." In Christianity's early centuries, church discipline led sinners to cover themselves with ashes or spend time in the stocks. In later centuries, expulsion was more common. Until the late 19th century, shunning was widely practiced by American evangelicals, including Methodists, Presbyterians and Baptists. Today, excommunication rarely occurs in the U.S. Catholic Church, and shunning is largely unheard of among mainline Protestants. Little Consensus Among churches that practice discipline, there is little consensus on how sinners should be dealt with, says Gregory Wills, a theologian at Southern Baptist Theological seminary. Some pastors remove members on their own, while other churches require agreement among deacons or a majority vote from the congregation. Since Mrs. Caskey's second arrest last July, the turmoil at Allen Baptist has fizzled into an awkward stalemate. Allen Baptist is an independent congregation, unaffiliated with a church hierarchy that might review the ouster. Supporters have urged Mrs. Caskey to sue to have her
membership restored, but she says the matter should be settled in the church. Mr. Burrick no longer calls the police when Mrs. Caskey shows up for Sunday services. Since November, Mrs. Caskey has been attending a Baptist church near her winter home in Tavares, Fla. She plans to go back to Allen Baptist when she returns to Michigan this spring. "I don't intend to abandon that church," Mrs. Caskey says. "I feel like I have every right to be there." The Mark of a True Christian by Dr. Larry Ollison In First John, chapter 4 the Bible makes a very interesting and often overlooked statement. It says, Beloved, let us love one another for love is of God and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God for God is love. On the surface, that just seems like a nice Bible verse. But lets look closely at what it says. It says if we do not love, we do not know God. Thats a powerful statement! This verse says that without love in our hearts we do not know God. When Jesus was talking with His disciples in John 13:34, He explained to them how other people would know that they were His disciples. He didnt give them a gold embossed certificate that they could display on their office wall saying they had passed the requirements to be a disciple. He didnt say that they would have a certain type of robe or suit to wear that would set them aside. The only thing He said that would set them apart from others, the thing that would let others know that they were His disciples, would be one thing and one thing only. They would have love for one another. Sometimes when we think of love, those who lived though the sixties think of hippies walking around in bell bottoms, giving the peace sign and saying, Love, brother. Well, thats not what we are talking about. We are talking about a godly, supernatural love, not the kind of love that comes from ourselves, but the kind of love that can only come from God the Father. This love will cause you to love those who are not lovely and to be more specific, it will cause you to love those who hate you. You may be asking yourself if this love is really as important as I am making it out to be. Well, the answer is, yes. It is extremely important! Romans 13:8 says he who loves another has fulfilled the law and the Bible tells us that perfect love casts out fear. We know faith is important. We are saved through faith. We are healed by the prayer of faith. Anything that is not of faith is sin and Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith it is impossible to please God. So why am I saying this?
Well, as important as faith is, the Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 13:2 that we can have all faith, even enough faith that we could move mountains, but if we do not also have love, we are nothing. The last verse of that chapter says, Now abide faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. While we were in sin, God sent His Son Jesus to die for us. Then, God raised Him from the dead so that we who accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior can have eternal life. When we accept Jesus, we become children of God. And as His children we should have the same character as our Father. We should not only love one another, but we should love those who do not deserve it. Thats what God did when He loved us. And when we truly love Him, thats what we will do. Test and Prove All Things A clarion call is sounding across the land. Its a call from the Wonderful Counselor: Test and prove all things! In the Apostle Pauls letter to the Thessalonians, he addresses the church concerning the Day of the Lord. Verse 21 says, Test all things and hold fast that which is good. I John 4:1 tells us not to believe every spirit, but to test the spirits, whether they are of God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church are observing a new falling away from truth. The serious consequence of refusing the truth is that God lets us believe a lie and turns us over to a spirit of delusion! Many other gospels continue to come forth, wielding one new controversy after another. Now, one of our strongest evangelists proclaims the idea that Jesus did not come to be the Messiah to the Jews. Lyrics from the song, When its All Been Said and Done, say, there is just one thing that matters did I do my best to live for truth, did I live my life for You? The Lord Jesus Himself is Truth, and His Word is truth. How does a Christian test and prove all things? By adhering to Scripture and asking whether or not it reflects a life of holiness and righteousness the righteousness to which God ascribes. Proving something calls us to examine the Word, and allow the Holy Spirit to illumine our understanding. When we witness those in leadership fall, it is a warning signal to the nation, a call to repentance, an opportunity for self- deception, a call to self- examination, and a time to intercede. May we hold fast to the Head, even Christ, testing and proving all things and be found worthy when He calls our name. http://www.godswordtowomen.org/main.htm A church toll booth on way to salvation By PHILIP GAILEY, Editor of Editorials Published December 9, 2007
Consider the choices of two churchgoing Christians. One tithes, giving 10 percent of his gross income to the church and another 3 percent to charity. The other gives 3 percent to the church and contributes 10 percent to charities that feed the hungry, clothe the ragged and shelter the homeless. Both believe they are doing God's will, but contrary to what most pastors preach, I believe the one who puts charity ahead of the church in his giving comes closer to the teachings of Jesus. That's my opinion, not a judgment. The church is where we worship God; the world outside is where we must do his work. The human needs of a community are just as important, maybe even more so, than the spiritual needs of church members. I recognize that some tithers also give generously to charities. However, many people have to make choices about where to put their money. There are those who tithe and those who don't. And that's the way it should be. It should be the individual's choice. Tithing should not be a requirement or a pressure point on church-goers, especially on those who are struggling to make ends meet for their own families. This view will not sit well with many pastors and denominations. They preach tithing from the pulpit, as if it were a toll booth on the road to salvation. Some churches require their employees, even those who barely make a living wage, to tithe, and others try to make church members who don't feel guilty. This borders on extortion. No wonder, according to a recent Wall Street Journal report, there is a growing backlash against tithing in churches across the country, and not just in the evangelical megachurches whose charismatic pastors depend on generous giving to fund their extravagant lifestyles. "Opponents of tithing say it is a misreading of the Bible, a practice created by man, not God," the Journal reported. "They say they should be free to donate whatever amount they choose, and they are arguing with pastors, writing letters and quitting congregations in protest. In response, some pastors have changed their teaching and rejected what has been a favored form of fundraising for decades." Most churches are holding firm on tithing despite the protests. Some require new members to sign covenants, promising to tithe or give generously. And those congregants who refuse to tithe are being denied leadership roles and, in some cases, asked to leave the church. Then there are churches that try to embarrass non-tithers by publicly recognizing, in church bulletins or at Sunday morning services, those who have pledged to tithe. At the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C., professor Andreas Kostenberger challenges tithing in his classes on the New Testament. There is no 10 percent rule in the New Testament, he told the Journal, adding that pastors perpetuate tithing out of "pragmatism, tradition and ignorance, quite frankly." Even the income taxes levied by the government seem fairer than tithing, which is based on gross income. The government at least allows for exemptions and deductions and taxes you on your "adjusted" net income. If that's good enough for Caesar, then why shouldn't that be the standard for tithing?
I don't understand why pastors would even raise the subject of tithing with congregants they know to be on the edge financially. Take the example cited by the Journal: Kevin Rohr earned $34,200 a year organizing youth activities at his Ohio church where tithing is emphasized to all and required of church employees. Struggling to support his wife and four children on his income, Rohr told his pastor in a letter that he believes Christians are not required to tithe. His letter was treated as heresy by church leaders, and soon afterward, he left the church and is now driving a truck to support his family. Churches, of course, have expenses, including salaries for the pastor and church employees. They also are involved in some charitable programs, often taking up special collections for them. If you are curious about how your church is spending its money, you should ask to see the books for an accounting. Accept nothing on faith. Some church members, meanwhile, are using their checkbooks as an instrument of protest. For example, earlier this year a new rector arrived at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in St. Petersburg and, before taking the pulpit for his first sermon, summarily fired the church organist, an accomplished musician who had been a pillar of the church for 22 years. The rector didn't even know the organist and never bothered to meet with him. He gave no public explanation for his action, leaving the impression that the organist was fired for cause. Some church members thought what the rector did was un-Christian and the way he did it reprehensible, but the controversy soon quieted down as Episcopalians went back to being Episcopalians. One longtime St. Thomas member, however, found a way to express her outrage. She reduced her annual gift to the church to $52, one dollar a week. Imagine if a hundred other members had followed her lead. Philip Gailey's e-mail address is gailey@sptimes.com. When a Celebrity Pastor Divorces Then We See Real Hypocrisy By Cary McMullen It goes without saying that attitudes about divorce have changed drastically in society over the last 40 years. When I was a kid in the early 1960s, it was not very common and still a matter of some shame. Today, we are told, roughly 50 percent of all marriages will end in divorce. That alone would tend to make people less inclined to see divorce as a stigma. In fact, if anything, the needle has swung in the opposite direction, and it is now seen as no big deal. Even for pastors, once held to a one-strike-and-you're-out standard, the rules, it seems, have changed. About two weeks ago, two celebrity pastoral couples suffered public crack-ups within days of each other. Randy and Paula White, pastors of Without Walls International Church in Tampa reckoned in 2005 the second-largest church in America and the fastest-growing - announced they are going their separate ways. By all accounts, it is an amicable split, and Randy White will
continue on as pastor of Without Walls while Paula follows her star as a preacher, author and "life coach." About the same time, singer and evangelist Juanita Bynum had a rather more nasty breakup with her estranged husband, Thomas Weeks, pastor of Global Destiny Ministries in the Atlanta area. According to police, Weeks had to be restrained from choking and stomping on Bynum at a hotel parking lot. She went to the hospital, and he has been charged with assault and battery. No doubt, divorce is painful and tragic. I would even say in a few cases, it is necessary for the health of those involved. But when a pastor's marriage goes on the rocks, should it be no big deal? If either of the Whites marry again, it would be their third marriage. Does this matter? Should members of Without Walls mind that their pastor hasn't set a very good example? Some might say pastors are human, too, and that it is unfair to hold them to a different standard. Others might say that is the price of leadership - that leaders should be held to a higher standard. The mainline Protestants generally have adopted more lenient standards for their pastors, following along with society's trends. It's no longer considered a disqualification for a minister, but there are occasional cases that test the bounds of leniency. In 2006, a candidate for bishop in the Episcopal Church was challenged on the grounds that he had been divorced twice and married three times. The objections were disregarded, and Barry Beisner was made bishop of the Diocese of Northern California. Conservative Protestants continue to insist on biblical standards that forbid divorce, but more and more they are showing a willingness to carve out exceptions. Their churches tend to be centered on the personality of the minister, and if he is particularly beloved or powerful, then a way is found to qualify what the Bible says. An extraordinary example is Charles Stanley, longtime pastor of First Baptist Church in Atlanta whose wife left him, but was allowed to remain in the pulpit. In the case of the Whites, as far as I could tell, there was not even any discussion about trying to justify the divorce on biblical or any other grounds. Randy White manfully took the blame for the marriage's failure, but no one mentioned that the biblical standard of adultery is the only justifiable grounds for divorce. And if the comments posted on my blog in response to entries about the Whites and Bynum are any indication, their followers are staunchly supporting them. I have seen comments such as, "Nobody's perfect," "Before talking about her sins, you better look at your own" and "Don't judge, lest you be judged." But the Whites and Bynum are celebrities, and that is a big difference. Celebrity pastors, especially if they have an independent ministry, tend to get a break. If you're a pastor of a small-town church, you're not going to find as much sympathy.
Still, failures have their costs. Stanley kept his pulpit at the price of losing part of his congregation and a relationship with his son, also a successful minister. I suspect the Whites will find that not everyone is willing to go along with their view that after the divorce; it's business as usual. [ Cary McMullen is religion editor for The Ledger.

James 3:11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh. 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 3:14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 3:15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 3:16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 3:18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. Dr. Lindsay is assistant professor of sociology at Rice University and assistant director of the Center on Race, Religion and Urban Life. And he has a new book: Faith in the Halls of Power, How Evangelicals Joined the American Elite. He spoke recently in San Antonio at the Religion Newswriters Association annual conference. In reporting for his book, he spent several years interviewing more than 300 political, business, and cultural leaders who he defines as evangelical. He has stated: Evangelicals understand themselves primarily as a political movement. Not so, he says. Most evangelicals understand themselves as a part of a cultural movement. That means political disappointments don't derail their passion for their work. Specific theological positions drive the evangelical agenda. Not for most people, Dr. Lindsay says. "Most evangelicals are like most Americans: They dont know what they believe or why." Megachurches are the most powerful institutions for evangelicals. For many of the people he interviewed, Dr. Lindsay says, parachurch organizations were much more important. One of the oldest is the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Parachurch groups operate more like corporations, are more task-driven, and set relatively short-term and intense time demands. That fits better into the lives of many busy people than regular church or denominational leadership, he said. Thieves And Parasites James 1:21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 1:23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 1:24 for he observes himself, goes
away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 1:25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. 1:26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless. 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. The Bible says about the attitude of the people in the last days including preachers "Know this, that in the last days perilous times will come, For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!" (2 Timothy 3:1-5). When you become a doctor you study in your field and become an expert as well as being responsible for your mistakes. Preachers today dont study much, dont know much and they dont want to be responsible for their mistakes. So they should keep their mouth shuts and get out of the field they have no business being there! The problem with deceived preachers in America is that only want to preach stupidity and not use their brains or do real hard work because they are lazy. They only want to travel and pretend they are something which they are not - real men of God. And that is why they have become thieves and parasites because talking is easy and hot air is free! They should bridle the tongue of most preachers and we all would be better off! Instead let them do what the bible tells them to do: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. James 3:1 My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. 3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3:3 Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 3:4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 3:7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind . 3:8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Beware of Spiritual Pride in Prayer Scriptures teach us about united prayer, where just one person does not pray for all of us, but where someone starts us out in prayer and we all pray at the same time, out loud. In the Book of Acts, we have some illustrations, as well as some tremendous testimonies that came out of the prayer meetings. It starts out in the Book of Acts in Chapter 2, where they were all praying in one accord; and then in Acts chapter 3, Peter and John were headed to the temple for prayer, when they
ministered to the crippled man at the beautiful gate and got him healed. They were persecuted over this miracle in verse 21 of Acts chapter 4, and we pick up in verse 23, after they were being threatened, they were let go: And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness (Acts 4:23-31). What came out of their prayer meeting was not only that building was shaken by the power of God, but as a result of that prayer meeting, they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke the Word of God with boldness. And, as you continue to read the rest of the chapter, people sold their property and houses and brought the money and laid it at the apostles feet. In Acts chapter 12, we read a verses 1-19, that these people got together in prayer and prayed Peter out of jail. This is what prayer meetings in one accord are able to produce! This is where the people came together, and had one goal in common: to pray until God showed up. You can have prayer meetings and teach on prayer; you can exhort the people to pray, and tell people what prayer can do; and you can have everybody get on their knees and start praying, and still, you will not get the prayer meeting off the ground. You may read scripture about prayer, you may teach the people about prayer and exhort them to pray; you may have people testify about what prayer has done for them, but it will be in vain, and bear no fruit if the people that you have there in the prayer meeting don't really want to be there. Or, if their hearts aren't right toward God, and if they can't wait until the prayer meeting is over, or if they're just praying to impress the rest of us, these will all kill the spirit of prayer. Many meetings end up being in vain because people's hearts are not drawn after God. Spiritual pride can kill your prayer meeting quicker than anything else. I would much rather have the devil show up in a prayer meeting than I would have pride show up. Ive learned that you can deal with the devil in Jesus' Name. And, the Holy Spirit can let you know what to do when the devil shows up, as in Acts chapter 8, when Simon offered Peter money to buy the same spiritual gift that Peter had. Peter knew by the spirit that this man was not right with God and he rebuked him. To have an effective prayer meeting, you need to be having it for the right reason. You need to have it for a holy and godly purpose, and the people who are attending and participating need to
be in one accord. And you need to pray until you know in your heart that youve prayed it through. You want to be very careful about whose prayer meetings you go to. You want to judge things by their fruits, by the Word, and by the spirit. And if you ever sense that the prayer meeting that youre attending is getting over into the flesh, or if spiritual pride enters in, or if it is becoming a prophecy club and no longer prayer meeting as it was (everybody is giving a word and getting a word), but most of all, if it ever loses its conviction, the Holy Spirit will not manifest. When conviction leaves, it is a sign that the Holy Spirit is being grieved, and the Holy Spirit will not manifest where there is pride and ego. He will be imitated, He will be mentioned, but He will not be in manifestation. Many dear people who have good intentions have become prey to the devil when they didnt listen to their heart and consequently fell into the trap of spiritual pride. Its too bad this goes on, because we have so much need of prayer, but the devil tries to find his way into everything that God is doing. If the devil can get a prayer meeting off course, he has accomplished a great victory. You have to realize that even if prophecies, dreams or visions come to pass, if what is going on leads the people into following a person, the Scriptures teach us that it is not of God, no matter what kind of signs and wonders were performed. Deuteronomy 13: 1-5: If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee. So, we see from the Scriptures, that we never follow signs and wonders; we follow after God, because there are always people around to prey on the innocent, naive, spiritually young in the Lord, common and simple-minded people, all of whom end up being taken advantage of. Just beware of the person whom you feel you have to tell everything to-you may call them your "prayer partner", but that individual is taking the place of God in your life --- subtly, but surely. We're always to go God first, and many times, we're to go to God only. We need prayer meetings, but at the same time, we should never compromise our spiritual values, just for the sake of being able to say, "I'm going to a prayer meeting". There is a real fine line between walking in the spirit and being in spiritual pride. But as long as a person doesn't
want to be a leader, doesn't want to be seen or heard, doesn't want any recognition, never thinks they do enough for God, always thinks they have a lot to improve on, and always feels that they should pray more --- that's the type of person you want in your prayer meeting. In fact, if that person were called, they would make a good pastor. Until God raises up a prayer meeting, you can still go to His throne room yourself, and bask in His presence. A lady told me something one day that I thought was so profound; her statement said it all. She quoted a minister who said, "If you think waiting on God in prayer is hard, try what you get when you don't wait on God." So, let's just keep waiting on God in prayer in our own prayer closet, and believe Him to raise up some godly prayer meetings that will shake the whole Earth with the glory of God!

Have you ever noticed how few pastors and preachers in America really do what the word of God tells them to do? When was the last time you heard a pastor rebuke those who are false or as a matter of fact give more of the word of God then his own thoughts or opinions? Many in the House of God claim they love but their love is based on their desire to serve themselves and their best interests. Their desire is not the best interest of the sheep. But it is for their own betterment that they draw near to them. This is especially seen when you contact them for what ever reason and then your mail is flooded with requests for money to support their ministry or special projects. But try asking money from them? Then see what kind of response you will get. Ask them for a financial statement and the salaries of the founder and his family members. Then see if they are any longer nice to you. They try in feeble ways to serve God and promote God His love on earth but even this is weak and watered down to the real love He has for His sheep. The sad part is they think they are doing Gods perfect will yet they are missing the finer points of His truth. They have interpreted His Word in such a way and it is not what He really meant. They have missed the meaning behind the words and therefore missed the truth all together. They have no real understanding and therefore end up teaching what appears to be truth but is not truth. A literal lie clothed in what is supposed to be truth. The sad part is His sheep believe and accept this teaching as Gods ultimate truth and live their lives according to it resulting in loss of life, peace, joy and Gods personal safety. They are living on the fringes of the faithnot in the portals of the true faith. They are living in deceptions established by men and women misguided by the doctrines of demons. The promises of God are to everyone who will receive them. The promises are like metal girders in a great big building. They are the backbone of the faith within the church. If they are corrupted then the building will collapse and the revival will never begin there in that place. Half-truths corrupt the integrity of the girders and the building collapses. When the Word of God is not taken for what it says and is interpreted according to mans twisted understanding it becomes corrupted wisdom and its end is a lie. Any and all who believe this half-truth ends in the same way--having believed a lie. The Word is clear: Gods people perish for lack of knowledge-knowledge of the real truth! Knowledge of the real Jesus and His true intentions. John Smith (Alias) recently wrote to Christian News Today and said Check out Church On The Rock in Palmetto, Florida. Pastor Tad Mathews.

Walter Kambulow Burlington Ontario And Let The Others Judge 1COR 14:29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge. JER 14:14 And the LORD said to me, "The prophets prophesy lies in My name. I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart.
JER 23:21 "I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. The Bible, the word of God tells us that anybody who speaks in the name of God is fair game to be examined, exposed and even destroyed! We have many today in the church of the flesh including Pastors Benny Hinn and Rodney Howard Browne prophesying and speaking lies in Gods name and He has not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them and they prophesy to people a false vision, divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart. These fleshly ones who think they are gods are totally off the wall in thinking that they cannot be challenged or examined by no one! These fools indirectly state I cannot be corrected by no one because I cannot be wrong. I can lecture everybody but they cannot lecture me. These egotistical fleshly ones are also totally off the wall because they think they are gods who are accountable to no one but God. But Television or Internet is a public domain and the moment you go on it you are accountable to the public and are subject to judgment and exposure as a false one and a son of hell whose converts seem to be more suited for hell than heaven. They also greatly underestimate the value of desktop publishing, email and internet! But think about it that we live in a time that is unprecedented in history where our words can instantly be transmitted all over the world and into many places and become a record of what was said or spoken. They also forget that God is never on the side of rapists, liars, murderers, thieves and deceivers which they are! and for that they will pay for their foolishness even with their lives like Pastor Jack Frost did and Pastor Russ Reese is doing! See http://torontoblessing.tripod.com http://cnt10.tripod.com/aog.htm.

"The pastoral office is one of the wisest institutions of heaven." - Barnes' Notes "The true pastor leads in love in words, and in deeds." - Robertson's Word Pictures Is your Pastor called by God to do the task that he is doing? Is he influenced by love to God...not seeking the office of a "bishop" from ambition or the love of power, wealth, or ease....or promoting God's interests rather than his own? Throughout the Scriptures, we find many verses where God addresses the issue of Preachers and
Prophets running with a message yet He never sent them Jeremiah 14:15 says - "Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in My name, and I sent them not..." Jeremiah 23:16-17 says - "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. They say still unto them that despise Me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you." Jeremiah 23:21 says - "I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied." Jeremiah 23:32 says - "Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. " Jeremiah 28:15-17 says - "Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD. So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. " Jeremiah 29:31-32 says- "Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for My people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD." Ezekiel 13:2-6 says - "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD. They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word." The Lord Jesus plainly stated in John 10:1 - "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." What He was doing was making a distinction between those Preachers who are called and commissioned by Him and those who are not - yet ran. There are those who "enter by the door" and those who "enter not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way." The ones who "climb up some other way" are the self-promoting group who are not influenced by a love to God...who seek the office from ambition and a love of power, wealth, and ease...and promote their own interests. They are also the ones who take the honor to themselves...don't do
the will of God...and know nothing of sacrificing themselves entirely to His service. In John 10:7 and 9, Jesus succinctly stated - "I am the door of the sheep..." By saying this, He meant that He was "the door" for both the sheep and the shepherds. In reference to the shepherds, He was not simply talking about being their "door" to salvation. He was referring to their entrance into the ministry. In other words, it was through His merits, intercession, aid, and appointment that they had lawful entrance into the ministry. Those ministers who are not commissioned by "the door" or the Lord Jesus "but climbeth up some other way," He called them "thieves and robbers." In John 10:8, He said - "All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them." Thus those who run before He sends them by His Spirit are categorized as such. Their main ambition is to aggrandize themselves and oppress the people. They are not guides for the sheep but plunderers - seeking wealth, office, and ease at the expense of the sheep. They know nothing about "leading them out"(John 10:3) into paths of righteousness. Sometimes the sheep become reluctant to move on in the things of God. They easily grow complacent with things as they are. A true shepherd will "lead them out" of themselves to Christ and lead them out of the follies, amusements, and diversions of the world into the paths of holiness and righteousness. The Lord Jesus went on to call all "thieves and robbers" in the ministry by another name "stranger." In John 10:5, He said - "And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers." He said that the "sheep" would know the difference between those whom God sent and those who ran - not having the commission from Him for "the thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy..."(John 10:10). Their intention is to steal the hearts and affections of the people from Christ and to kill and destroy them spiritually. The "sheep" in God's fold flee from the "stranger" for "for they know not the voice of strangers." They shun him and his ministry simply because they find nothing of God therein. These humble and devoted Christians seek only those Teachers and Preachers who have the mild and self-denying spirit of their Master - rather than the proud and haughty spirit of the devil. They know a "hireling" when they see one - for the "hireling" will not work were it not for the hire. He does not practise self-denial for the welfare of the sheep...has no boldness in the cause of the Master...is unwilling to face any danger...and only preaches for support. A "thief," "robber," "stranger," "hireling" or a true shepherd? How would you describe your Pastor? If you are sitting every week under what Jesus calls a "thief," "robber," "stranger," or "hireling" who is only concerned about receiving your financial support and not at all concerned about your spiritual welfare - what does that say about you? "And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers"(John 10:4-
5). May God Bless His Word. Connie http://www.walkingintruth.org/Walkingintruth/devotions/april2007/wit042707.htm Some evangelical pastors today "sell blessings" much like corrupt priests of the 1500's "sold indulgences" Surprisingly, some of the loudest Evangelical critics of the 500 year old indulgences scandal are approaching their congregations with very similar language to the corrupt priests of the 1500's who Martin Luther criticized. When speaking about their ministries, many Evangelical pastors (especially Benny Hinn, Paula and Randy White, Rodney Howard Browne, http://cnt10.tripod.com/hinn.htm, http://cnt10.tripod.com/rodney.htm ) will say something like: "Now dig deep into those pockets for this most worthwhile ministry, it will be a blessing to you and your family!" When they say the gift will be a "blessing" to the giver, they are saying that God is looking with favor upon the offering. They are saying that the giver will be "blessed." Although different Evangelical pastors may mean different things by the word "blessing," many would say the giver will receive blessings in all areas of their lives including financial, health, family life etc. Some of these Evangelical ministers cross a line and are basically "selling blessings" which is quite bad given that they preach against corrupt Catholic priests in the 1500's who were "selling indulgences." It is wrong to sell spiritual things. It was wrong for corrupt priests to do it in the 1500's and it is wrong for Evangelical preachers to do now. There is a thin line between legitimate and blasphemous teaching in the area of money. On one hand, it is perfectly legitimate to say God looks with favor on a generous heart. (Mark 12:42) On the other hand there is a very human tendency of greed and manipulation, and sometimes motives are mixed and not entirely without merit. (i.e., building a beautiful medieval Catholic Church or Evangelicals wanting to build a huge "Dream Center" Church) [viii] Hadden, Jeffrey K. and Anson Shupe.
