What Does "Ministry" Have Authority To Do?

1.) Are all qualified to be "elders," or rather are just ambitious talkers with that sort of personality?

2.) Are "feeding the flock" God's Word without mixing in their nonsense?

3.) Are acting in actual "oversight," into the personal Godliness of their people, or doing nothing but babbling away on Sunday mornings?

4.) Are not being paid "filthy lucre" with a salary, or are merely living on handouts from gullible people without working as did Paul?

5.) Have a "ready mind," or just spew out their sermons and patronize the lay people?

6.) Are true "examples" of Christ according to 1John 2:6, or come up with excuses not to walk as Jesus walked?

Tell me, Nonkept, are you interested in conveying the Grace of God here, and learning something, or are you only wanting to be milque toast status quo in your babbling ideas about false "Pentecostalism?"

The Apostle Peter has a word for you, O Lofty Joreba. We DON'T have to respond to your ugliness, nonsense and babbling.

1 Peter 3:8-18

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.



IF you were coming here asking these questions in meekness and in fear, we would have a duty to respond to you in kind. However, your attitude and demeaning ugly spirit with which you spew forth your nonsense does not deserve our time. And you are falsely accusing the good brethren and sisters here, and you need to be ashamed, instead of accusing.

Thanks for standing up to this lunatic.
