As I street preached in Jackson Wyoming, we had a rare occasion today to meet a group of "tunic wearing" claimed believers of Christ. (on bikes) We talked and you can see how that went as there was some very interesting happenings there.
*** I have audio/video of it all on the link below.
I did a witnessing post about it here with the details as it was telling:
*Their bikes had signs like "What are you Living For" and "What is your Purpose"?
*They talked with a worldly looking man for over a hour (it looked like that man did all the talking to me) and I did not interrupt them.
*After they were done; I then talked with one of their men who came over as others looked on and I handed out gospel cards. He and I got into what it is we believe and he said they are Sermon on the Mount believers who travel around. (I have seen there type before as they usually lack the true gospel and have various false ways as a tunic does NOT make you biblical!
*We got into a discussion on truth and teaching all Jesus commanded Matt 28:20. He said there are things that are essential then things that are not essential. I challenged that in love as it is a lie (all of the NT Word doctrine is essential see a article on that at the end of this post) and he could not give a answer as to why he teaches that false way. I asked would he teach a brother to stop all sin and he said well yes but; he earlier said they let people do as they will till they come to truth themselves. (James 5 says pull them out of sin to save their soul)
*He then told me we should not judge anyone then.... he judged me; saying I was contentious for calling out his false way. (that is hypocrisy right there and we are to judge the body per 1 Cor 5) He quoted Gal 5 about contention but again he was wrong. That verse clearly is NOT about striving for the truth as contentious because Jude tells us TO indeed contend! (Jesus and Paul and Peter did contend to their deaths!)
*At that point that worldly man came over, butted in and wanted to argue. I asked him to wait till I was done with this conversation but he was a fleshly man who just pressured and pushed in. The tunic man then walked away and I ended up rebuking the worldly man as he was fleshly and invading our personal space in a threatening way. (he claimed to be a believer too, how sad)
*The tunic people then went to the other side of the park.
*I preached on (one of the tunic men came close to listen) and as we left for the day, I walked right by the tunic group and lovingly told them to call me and lets bible study. I said; we love you but I cannot be silent about their false lacking good doctrine ways.
*They had a real lack of love for us and the truth. Jesus is TRUTH yet they are walking in error. They ignored me and we walked on.
*The next day as we street preached, I saw on of them in the park (see him in the video) and I informed him how wrong his brother was about contention and I made this video of it:
Facts: I showed them godly love, I gave them my contact info, I wanted to still talk but they rejected us. That tunic man got in his flesh as he was teaching false ways and (in front of his brothers) he had no answer as he was asked to repent but he wouldn't. We have heard of a group like them in Colorado (Jim Roberts?) and I suspect this "could be" them as they are Anabaptist types and clearly NOT in the full truth!

We love them and I hope they go deeper in scripture as they are lacking in truth!
God be praised
