A Tract for Anabaptist People (Mennonite, Amish etc)

DO YOU REALLY FOLLOW JESUS OR DO YOU FOLLOW MAN'S WAYS?

If the answer is Jesus; why are you as a plain person, following many man made traditions when Jesus said don't do that? See Mark 7: 6-9  We do agree with you (Mennonites and Amish) on many biblical truths like head covering, dresses for women, leaving worldliness (avoiding tv, entertainment and worldly activities) so we lovingly ask you why are you still following man made traditions that are sinful before God? (Psalm 119:104) We are not part of any man made organization, we are the remnant, meeting house to house, keeping God's true New Testament Church rejecting all man made false spiritual ways.

Are you and/or your body guilty of one or more of the following points?

1. A ritual life that is more centered on your church traditions then the Word of God.
(A spiritually dead ritual life.)

2. Calling yourself a denomination or after a man's name such as Menno Simon or Jacob Amman.
(1 Corinthians 1:12-13 the apostle Paul called this division and sinful.)

3. Practicing unbiblical pagan holidays like Easter and Christ-mass is sinful. (Colossians 2:8)

4. Following the Protestant way of gathering vs. the true New Testament Church.
(2 Thessalonians 2:15) Examples: not an open gathering but one controlled led by a few men, 1 Corinthians 14 calling Sunday the Lord's day, practicing vain dead rituals and more.

5. Tight and adorned clothing worn by men and women, unbiblical headcoverings (bun covers/caps vs veil).
(1 Timothy 2, 1 Peter 3, 1 Corinthians 11)

6. Lack of proclaiming the true gospel to the world that Jesus commanded His people do. (Mark 16:15)
( Anabaptist often have a false gospel.  See the back side of the page for the biblical gospe.)

7. Knowing a form of religion-traditions handed down by anabaptis people- vs studying, knowing and fully obeying God's Word. (2 Timothy 3:5)

8. Teaching many man-made ways like: no rubber tires, no electricity, no radio, uniforms, ritual religion etc.

9. Ecumenicalism: having a view that error filled and false denominations/groups are the people of God.
(Baptist, Methodist, Roman Catholic, non denomination orgainzations etc...)

10. Over focus on certain issues: non-resistance, communal living, divorce/remarriage, separation from the government, insurance etc. instead of a well rounded biblical world view.

Years ago we left the unbiblical man-made organizations for the true New Testament Church that Christ ordained in the 1st Century. Our ministry calls people to truth and out of all man made traditions. In love and concern we have to include Mennonite and Amish traditions in with false, unbiblical man-made ways. If you claim to be of God and walk in His ways not man's, the very first thing you must do is reject the title of man made religion, Mennonite and Amish. Are you of Christ alone or man? You will then begin to test all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21) to His Word vs following your man-made ways that we have shown you. Jesus warned against keeping man made traditions in Mark 7, this does not please God!

In love..are you truly of Him or are you of these man made ways? God's true people leave all false ways and to compromise is sin. Remember, the Pharisees dressed and looked very religious but Jesus exposed their unbiblical lukewarm hearts, calling them vipers and hypocrites! (Matthew 23) We are here to help you and will gladly bible study with you and guide you to the true NT life and show you these truths in God's Word. Truth is your man made religion will only hold you in bondage but the Word (Son of God) sets you free to obey Him; not man!

God be praised
