Myth—God Owns Solid Rock

After scoring a settlement with the Assembly of God, the next week

Matthews dumped the AFCM. Everything took place without anyone the wiser until I obtained a copy the falsified Article filings from the Secretary of State. More details are on the Internet at http://www.james417.org. The James 417 Association website is a virtual archive of the Solid Rock Church

theft. It will serve as a warning of Satan’s Zone 3 church. Remember, Satan will feed your itching ears exactly what they want to hear. Don’t accept any apostasy! Do you think the $100,000 Matthews sought to raise November 22, 1996 at the Harvest Dinner might be used to pay off the AG District?

So what about the New Testament church? Three clearly NT church characteristics are 1) submitting to Christ, 2) appointing of elders and 3) meeting in homes, all of which describes my church. Study Acts 14:23, Romans 16:5, 1 Cor. 16:19, Ephes. 5:24 and Col. 4:15. Should you vest all

voting power into one person and his or her board? You decide, is it right that one person own all church property, planes, expensive cars, etc.— when Christ told his apostles to go out without a moneybag? Again, Satan’s zone giveaway is the focus on the things of men, not of God. Paul taught Titus.

“The reason I left you [was to] … Appoint elders in every town [church], as I directed you.” Titus 1:5 NIV

“[Elders] must … encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. For there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers … They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by

teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain [money].” Titus 1:9-11 NIV

“They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny

him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.” Titus 1:16 NIV

“They are disqualified for every good work!” Titus 1:16 NKJV
