See our entire email communication below with my words having **** in front of them.
Start at the bottom and read up....
*****Your very words will expose you like your false gospel you sent ... Believe only.
Per Gal 1 you are accursed... I pray you turn.
You are more like a Pharisee then me and I will show your many hypocrisies in your emails. That was their sin ...Luke 12:1
You clearly don't know the Word and are deceived by man made religion. You are so sure they are biblical who you associate with but you are too fearful timid and cowardly to name them ... how pathetic really!
Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
I see how much danger you are in ...it's loving to tell you to Repent sir ...or perish in your sin.
God be praised
Ps that will still go up on my website ...look for it if you care too. I won't read anymore of your heretical emails. Call me if you ever repent .
You are picking and choosing what you want to share with other people to reinforce your theology and teaching which is deceitful and unbiblical.
The difference between you and me is that I am not willing to condemn you for being an unrepentant sinner headed for hell just because I don't agree with your theology. I believe that you have "wrong theology" in need of correction as well but I see you as my brother and not my enemy.
And my "associations" in life are completely biblical and they have nothing to do with whether my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life or not. The same thing goes for your non-association with any organizations. You take a lot of pride in saying that you are not associated with any other organization and that you do not take any donations but that has nothing to do with whether you are saved or not.
Any correction I need will come from the Bible and the power of the Holy Spirit at work in my life because I have repented of my sins and as Jesus and the Bible promise, I have been given the Holy Spirit when I was born again.
Grace and Peace,
B
*****Ps to be clear I am posting your last two or 3 emails not all of them ...
If you want all of them posted ...feel free to start a website and do so. The last few accurately frame what you wrongly accuse ... lack and need correction in ...
God be praised
*****I will post it but your name will be left off unless you offer what body you are with. It must not be biblical as you hide it ...
My website already answers every question you asked but I will go into to edify.
You have more wrong theology in this email and you need correction to the saving of your soul.
God be praised
I look forward to seeing you post my messages on your website. Please make sure that you post ALL of it and not just parts of it. And thank you for your concern for me. I know that I am not perfect but I also know that I am a born-again Holy Spirit filled fully devoted follower of Jesus who is doing exactly what God has called me to do to spread the Gospel and help build His Kingdom on this earth by making disciples. If God needs to correct me in any sort of way He will do it through the Scriptures and the power of the Holy Spirit at work in my life.
Feel free to put my name in the posting on your website. I am not afraid of any negative consequences of people seeing my name on your website.
And please feel free to respond to my questions which you have craftily avoided answering because they would help reveal your heart and motivations.
Nothing we do as humans on this earth is perfect because we are fallen but God works through broken people and broken systems to reconcile people to him through His Word and the Holy Spirit. I am praying that he will use you to increase His Kingdom as well. But I would challenge you to possibly humble yourself a little and listen to people who gently rebuke you through the Word, and maybe spend some time building relationships with others like Jesus did instead of just preaching at them with your loudspeakers. It is through relationship that people listen to what we have to say in love. Being condemned and preached at tends to close people ears to your message I believe.
Have a blessed day and weekend.
B
P.S. Please post this message as a part of what you post on your website as well.
*****Thanks for your answer ...
I am going to place that email on my website and answer it ....line by line ...as a teaching moment for all. I won't use your name or email.
It will bless many all over the world and you have much wrong so I want to help you.
I will send you the link ....
God be praised
I agree with your contention that we must repent of our sins as a part of following Jesus but Salvation is a free gift that we do not earn by being good enough. We are not "made eligible" for grace. Grace is freely given to all who will accept it which includes repenting and turning away from sin. But it is the Holy Spirit who convicts us of our sin and helps us turn from temptation and resist sin in the future. We are not perfect once we start following Jesus, just like the disciples were not perfect. They still had sinful hearts of pride and condemnation of others and Jesus showed them grace by gently helping them see who he was and what God's kingdom was all about. Even after they were filled with the Holy Spirit and were a part of the Church, they still sometimes slipped back into the sinful nature. Paul called himself the "chief of all sinners" and talked about his own struggles with sin. Salvation is a free gift that is given to us when we repent and choose to follow Jesus and then the Holy Spirit begins the work of sanctification in our lives to help us become more and more like Jesus but we will never be free of temptation and sin until our glorification and we enter the new heaven and new earth. Until then, as followers of Jesus we know that - "if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness."
In your response to my quotation from Galatians 2 you say - "We don't keep Torah ...we are to keep the law of Christ Gal 6;2" You also are "cherry picking" what you want out of the verse because Galatians 6:1-2 state - "Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. 2 Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ." These verses tell us that if a believer is overcome by sin we should "gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path" not stand on the street corner and shout condemnation on them. Verse 2 states that we should share each others burdens because that is the way to obey the law of Christ. The law/commandment of Christ is to "love one another as I [Jesus] have loved you."
I recently studied Galatians in depth with a group of believers and I believe that it could be applicable to your ministry because I believe that you have added to the Gospel and are telling people that they need to follow a whole list of rules and regulations to truly be saved, just like the people of that day were trying to tell people that they had to follow rules and regulations to be true Christians. You try to deflect the issue by saying that you "don't keep Torah" but in reading through things like your teaching on clothing for men and women, I believe that is the same as what the Pharisees and other religious leaders were teaching in their day - it is about the outward appearance and your behavior that makes you right before God. Jesus called them out as hypocrites and said that they were "whitewashed tombs full of dead men's bones." What someone wears does not make them right with God and does not prove that they have a pure heart. If everyone in the world followed your dress code it would not eliminate lust in the hearts of people because sinful hearts would still exist no matter what people wear. Obviously our culture is sexualized at every level which makes resisting the temptation to lust that much harder but even if you eliminated things like pornography and bikinis, lust and sexual sin would still exist. The Bible shows us this in the Old and New Testaments.
The Pharisees and religious leaders of Jesus's day had created a huge list of do's and don'ts that they used to control the people and make themselves look "holy." Jesus said that they tied people down with heavy burdens and did nothing to help them, and that is the feeling I get when I read through all of the rules and regulations that you have created to "test" people and then condemn them. Jesus said that his burden is light and his yoke is easy. He didn't stand on the corner and condemn sinners, he went to their houses and ate and drank with them - he showed them love. He built relationships with them. And he confronted the religious leaders who thought they were righteous because of their dress and actions. This is why the religious leaders hated him and wanted to kill him. The "regular people" loved Jesus because he showed them a different way to follow God without hundreds of rules and regulations.
God is the only truly righteous Judge because he looks at the heart and he knows us intimately. He created us and knows our every thought and action. He knows our motivations in spreading the Gospel and Paul was even thankful for those who preached the Gospel with the wrong motivations because the power of God is in the Gospel, not the person preaching it. The Word of God does the work of God in the hearts and lives of men and women. Just like David, the man after God's own heart who committed adultery had the woman's husband killed and had way more than one wife, I cry out to God to create a clean heart in me and purify me from unrighteousness. (Psalm 51) And I know that "The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. 9 He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever. 10 He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. 11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. 12 He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. (Psalm 103:8-12)
The Bible also tells us that it is God's job to separate the sheep from the goats and the wheat from the tares because He is the only one who truly knows who is on his side and who isn't. Jesus said that the sinners and tax collectors were closer to the Kingdom of God than those who thought they were righteous because of their rules and regulations.
You so desperately want me to reveal my "association" so that you can condemn me as "following a false Jesus" which also reminds me of how the Pharisees and teachers of religious law constantly tried to trap Jesus with their questions. In their false righteousness they wanted to condemn Jesus according to their rules and regulations because he didn't follow them. In the same way you accuse me of avoiding revealing my association, you avoid answering my questions directly regarding your beliefs. To me it seems like you think that every person who doesn't think, dress or act like you needs to repent because they are following a "false Jesus" and headed for hell. Is this correct? Do you believe that you have the same righteous judgment of the hearts of men and women that God has? Do you think that you could be wrong in any way about your teaching and beliefs?
So, in a similar way to how Jesus responded to the questions of the religious leaders, I will tell you more about my life and my "associations" if you stop avoiding my questions and answer them.

Subject: Re: Questions About Your Ministry
I will answer your question about the "gospel to eternal life" through a set of scriptures. This is not an exhaustive list though.
****Is it a complete gospel to life or incomplete? Let's see?
*** So by faith we come to Christ John 3;16
Agreed...
People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.
**** No... your gospel is incomplete ...we must repent in that faith. No repentance ...no new life! Luke 13:3
This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, 26 for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus." (Romans 3:23-26)
*** Even the demons believe ...it takes more then mere belief to be saved. Ask the people in Matt 7 that Jesus turns away due to their sin!
"But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. 9 And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation.
**** We are not made right by mere belief. We must have faith and repent ..turn from sin... There is more...
10 For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. 11 So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God. (Romans 5:8-11)
***** You can't even be of God lest you are born from above John 3 ...faith ..repentance ..new life but there is more. Your gospel lacks much ....
For Moses writes that the law’s way of making a person right with God requires obedience to all of its commands. 6 But faith’s way of getting right with God says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’ (to bring Christ down to earth). 7 And don’t say, ‘Who will go down to the place of the dead?’ (to bring Christ back to life again).” 8 In fact, it says, 'The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.' And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, 'Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.' 12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him. 13 For 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:5-13)
**** Romans 10 was written to godly saints who had faith ..repented ...were born again and ...they walked in holiness and obedience as fruit they were of Him. Heb 12;14 without holiness you wont see God ...Heb 5;9 he made the way for those who obey and John 15 without much fruit you are cast in the fire.
"The jailer called for lights and ran to the dungeon and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them out and asked, 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' 31 They replied, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.'" (Acts 16:29-31)
***** You miss this verse
Acts 16:32 KJVS And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
They taught him the way that was the full gospel not just believe. Don't cherry pick scripture it is a bad way to get to truth....
"God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." (Ephesians 2:8-10)
*** What Christ did for us is indeed free ...but there is a cost to our life. we need his perfect righteousness but ...you must be made eligible for that grace by repenting and leaving all wilful sin or there is no sacrifice for you. Haven't you read Heb 10;26-27 ?
"Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law. 17 But suppose we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then we are found guilty because we have abandoned the law. Would that mean Christ has led us into sin? Absolutely not! 18 Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law I already tore down. 19 For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God. 20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die." (Galatians 2:16-21)
**** Bad context here. Paul is refuting Jews who were telling gentiles to keep Torah law. We don't keep Torah ...we are to keep the law of Christ Gal 6;2 the moral law if we expect salvation. Read 1 Cor 6 and a list of things that get you hell. Also read Rev 22:14-15 ...one lie puts tou outside heaven. Do you believe you can be a sodomite..drunk..adulterer or a person who is friends with the world or just a liar and you will still go to heaven by mere belief? Read Acts 5 ..God kills a couple over one lie ...and they did not go to heaven! Study more ....2 Tim 2:15
Again, this is not an exhaustive list of scriptures that pertain to the Gospel and salvation but it is a good start. We are saved through grace and faith in Jesus Christ, not through works.
**** Your gospel lacks much.
By faith in His perfect work ...we repent to be made eligible for grace...to new life then ... with fruit of holiness and obedience ... we must endure or we will be cut off! 1 Cor 15 and Romans 11.
Read James 2 ..faith and works go together ...would Noah have survived if he didn't obey and build the ark?
I have read your information and know that you have left all associations because that is what you feel like God has called you to do in your own life.
**** No...Actually that is what God's word teaches. Read Mark 7;6-9 ...man made traditions void your worship of God!
And so I will return to the original message that I sent to you and the questions that I asked, especially this one - Do you believe that any person who does not believe and practice everything that you preach and teach is destined for hell as an unrepentant sinner?
**** I have covered the gospel and showed you were you lack much as... I love you. You have a easy believe gospel ...study and repent of that! Why don't you share your association now then I can easily answer your question?
I look forward to your response to my questions.

**** I look forward to you answer and why would you hide your body.... if it is biblical?

For Moses writes that the law’s way of making a person right with God requires obedience to all of its commands. 6 But faith’s way of getting right with God says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’ (to bring Christ down to earth). 7 And don’t say, ‘Who will go down to the place of the dead?’ (to bring Christ back to life again).” 8 In fact, it says, 'The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.' And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, 'Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.' 12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect.

Hi James,
I have read through your Gospel presentation page which is why I asked you the questions that I sent to you. And I don't know "all about" you - I just know you through what I have heard you say and what I have read on your website.
I am a Bible-believing born-again follower of God living by the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish the call that God has placed on my life to fulfill the commission to "go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit" and to "teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I [Jesus] have given you." (Matthew 28:19-20a) Currently God has called me to be a missionary to youth and their families in a rural setting and I work to help them understand the Gospel and help them become fully devoted followers of Jesus as well. I became a follower of Jesus early in my life through the influence of my mother and then the Holy Spirit has been working on me through the process of sanctification to give up the "sins that easily entangle" me so that I can run the race well. I am a servant of Jesus committed to following him to the best of my ability to accomplish the purpose that he created me for in this life. For me, Acts 20:24 sums it up well for me - "But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus - the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God."
B
******Ps I also require people tell me about themselves as you know all about me. What is your faith association connection and testimony ...?
Thanks much ...

*****I always start at the gospel to life and it often answers many questions. See the gospel link on my website ..it's on almost every page and let's see if we agree on the narrow path to eternal life per God's Word ...then we can move on to other issues if need be.
What is the path to eternal life?
God be praised
Hello Jim,
I recently heard you preaching and afterwards I decided to check out your website to see what your ministry is about. I have spent several hours going through your posts about many different people and ministries. I have read through your teaching on various subjects and read through your Statement of Faith. So, I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of your beliefs and your ministry, and I admire your commitment to spreading the Gospel of Jesus to anyone and everyone you meet. But, after spending all of this time studying your ministry and beliefs I have a few questions for you.
I am 51 years old and I can't think of one person in my life now or anyone I have ever known in my entire life who would qualify as a follower of Jesus according to your standards.
Do you believe that any person who does not believe and practice everything that you preach and teach is destined for hell as an unrepentant sinner?
Examples - people who wear shorts and a t-shirt or even jeans, men with long hair, women with short hair, people who go to sporting events including school sporting events that their children are involved in, people who go to a church worship service on Sunday morning, people who celebrate Christmas and Easter, and so on.
If so, do you believe that your judgment and condemnation of these people is 100% righteous in line with the righteous judgment of God who is perfect in all of his ways?
Do you believe that you could be wrong in any way when it comes to your "testing" and judgment of people/ministries who don't agree with your teaching and preaching?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Have a blessed week.
B
