At this time, we'll go ahead and get started.
And once you find a seat, let's go ahead and find a hymnal.
We'll all sing song number 147 together.
One hundred and forty-seven.
And everybody sing it out real loud together.
What a fellowship, what a joy divine.
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
What a blessedness, what a peace of mind.

Leaning, leaning.
And secure from all of us.
Leaning, leaning.

I have blessed peace with my Lord so dear.
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Leaning, leaning.
Safe and secure from all alarms.
Leaning, leaning.
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Great singing everybody. Let's open up the service with a word of prayer.
Lord, we love you.
We just thank you again for Steadfast Baptist Church.
Thank you for gathering everybody here together and allowing us to sing unto you, Lord.
We just ask you to fill this church with your spirit and bless the service.
And it's in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
All right, for our next song, let's go to song number 185.
Song number 185.
My Savior's Love.
Song number 185. Everybody sing it together on the first.
I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene.
And wonder how He could love me, a sinner condemned unclean.
How marvelous, how wonderful, and my song shall ever be.
How marvelous, how wonderful is the Savior's love for me.
For me it was in the garden.
He prayed not my will but thine.
He had no tears for his own grief, but sweat drops of blood for mine.
How marvelous, how wonderful, and my song shall ever be.
How marvelous, how wonderful is my Savior's love for me.
He took my sins and my sorrows. He made them his very own.
He bore the burden to Calvary and suffered and fled alone.
How marvelous, how wonderful, and my song shall ever be.
How marvelous, how wonderful is my Savior's love for me.
When with the ransomed in glory His face I last shall see.
Twill be my joy through the ages to sing of His love for me.
How marvelous, how wonderful, and my song shall ever be.
How marvelous, how wonderful is my Savior's love for me.
How marvelous, how wonderful, and my song shall ever be.
Before announcements, we'll go ahead and sing our psalm of the week, Psalm 126.
All right, that was Psalm 126.
Psalm 126 in your special handout or in your King James Bible.
Psalm 126.
When the Lord turned again, the captivity His eye on, we were like them that dream.
Then was our mouths filled with laughter and our tongue with singing.
Then said they among the heathen, the Lord had done great things for them, the Lord had done great things for us.
Whereof we are glad, turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south,
they that sow in tears shall reap in joy, they that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Then said they among the heathen, the Lord had done great things for them, the Lord had done great things for us.
Whereof we are glad, he that goeth forth the weeping, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheep with him.
When said they among the heathen, the Lord had done great things for them, the Lord had done great things for us.
Whereof we are glad.
Great singing everybody. Now as the offering plates are being passed around, go ahead and turn your Bibles to Acts chapter 2.
That's the book of Acts chapter number 2.
Acts chapter 2.
Acts chapter 2 the Bible reads,
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place,
and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled all the house where they were sitting, and there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as a fire,
and it sat upon each of them, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost,
and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
And they were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men out of every nation under heaven.
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together,
and were confounded because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another,
Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans?
And how here we every man in our own tongue were in we were born,
Parthians and Medes and Elamites and the dwellers in Mesopotamia and in Judea,
and Cappadocia and Pontius and Asia,
Fergia and Pamphylia in Egypt and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene,
and strangers of Rome, Jews and Proselytes,
Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another,
What meaneth this? Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said unto them,
Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem,
be this known unto you, and hearken to my words,
for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel,
and it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,
I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my spirit,
and they shall prophesy, and I will show wonders in heaven above
and signs in the earth beneath, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood
before that great and notable day of the Lord come.
And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ye men of Israel, hear these words.
Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,
which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know,
him being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God ye have taken,
and by wicked hands have crucified and slain,
whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death,
because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
For David speaketh concerning him,
I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
for he is on my right hand that I should not be moved.
Therefore did my heart rejoice and my tongue was glad.
Moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope,
because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,
neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption.
Thou hast made know to me the ways of life,
thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David,
that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day.
Therefore, being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him
that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh,
he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne,
He seeing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ,
that his soul was not left in hell,
neither his flesh did see corruption.
This Jesus that God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost,
he hath shed forth this which he now see and hear.
For David is not ascended into the heavens,
but he saith himself,
The Lord said unto my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly
that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
both Lord and Christ.
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart,
and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles,
Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them,
Repent and be baptized, every one of you,
in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children,
and to all that are afar off,
even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
And with many other words did he testify and exhort,
saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized,
and the same day they were added unto them about three thousand souls,
and they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship,
and in breaking of bread, and in prayers,
and fear came upon every soul,
and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles,
and all that believed were together, and had all things common,
and sold their possessions and goods,
and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple,
and breaking bread from house to house,
did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
praising God and having favor with all the people,
and the Lord added to the church daily,
such as should be saved.
Let's fire our heads forward in prayer.
Father in heaven, I pray that you would be with
Brother Dylan Oz as he preaches for us this morning.
Give him the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit and clarity of mind,
I pray also, Lord, that you would help us to pay close attention to the message,
that it would inspire us, Lord, and enable us to know your word better,
and to do your word as well.
We love you, and in Jesus' name I pray, amen.
Amen.
Amen. Good morning.
Well, first of all, thank you, Pastor Shelley,
for allowing me to fill the pulpit this morning.
Excited to preach for you guys today,
and we're in a very famous chapter of the Bible, Acts chapter 2.
Of course, you know, we love this chapter.
We know this chapter is God's word,
but unfortunately, there's a lot of wicked people.
There's a lot of false teachers in false religions that love to twist this chapter,
and they love to use this chapter to teach false doctrine.
And this morning, I want to talk about a group of Christians
that I just personally detest.
I think that they are just a reproach on the name of Christ,
and they're causing a lot of damage to the kingdom of God,
and that is the Pentecostals.
And the title of my sermon this morning is,
Pentecostalism Debunked.
You say, why aren't you talking about the Trump shooting?
That's probably all you want to hear about.
Let's talk about the assassination.
But, you know, let me tell you something.
The reason why America is in such a bad state
is not necessarily because of this little faggot
that tried to shoot Donald Trump.
It's the false religion in our country,
and the communists and the weak men
and the issues that we have in this nation
are a direct result of our nation not being godly
and our nation not being spiritual.
So why don't we just go to the root of the problems in America
and talk about one of the false religions in our country.
And so this morning, I want to go through several claims
that Pentecostals make,
and I want to debunk these claims from the Bible.
So you're going to be there in Acts chapter 2
throughout the sermon.
But this is the first claim that Pentecostals often teach,
is they teach that the apostles here in Acts chapter 2
spoke some sort of secret, heavenly prayer language.
Raise your hand if you've ever heard this before.
Just about everyone.
Now here's the thing.
It's amazing how many people have heard this
because this is not true.
This is not what the Bible says,
yet everyone has heard someone say this before.
I'm going to read to you some quotes from T.D. Jakes,
who's just down the road here in South Dallas,
who is one of these charismatic Pentecostal freaks.
This is what he says.
He says, quote,
The believers at Pentecost spoke the language of heaven,
but only as the Holy Ghost gave them utterance.
When God filled the disciples on the day of Pentecost,
He sent tongues of fire to sit upon each of them.
God caused them to speak with a heavenly language,
proving He had control of these believers.
Then he says this,
Speaking in tongues can occur in two different settings.
A believer may pray in tongues privately to commune with God.
This is their heavenly prayer language.
Scripture also teaches on the gift of tongues,
or diverse kinds of tongues,
which are used in a public assembly.
There is a difference between the gift of tongues
and tongues used as a prayer language.
The gift of tongues benefits the hearers,
the prayer language benefits only the hearers.
So just to summarize what this claim is,
the claim from the Pentecostals is that
the apostles here in Acts chapter 2
were speaking some unknown language to human beings.
This isn't a language that we can identify and say,
this is Chinese, this is Japanese, this is Russian.
It's some secret heavenly prayer language,
and not only that,
but that God or the Holy Spirit
was in direct control of these men,
like God was possessing these men
to say something that were not under their own control.
So let's go through this story
and see if the Bible matches the claims that they're making.
Look at Acts chapter number 2.
Let's start in verse 1.
It says,
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,
they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a, notice this word,
sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind.
Now remember that word, it says,
and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Keep your place there and go to John chapter number 3.
John chapter number 3.
So notice, right when this situation started happening
in Acts chapter 2, they heard a sound
like a mighty rushing wind.
Now what does that remind me of?
Look at John chapter 3, verse 8.
It says,
Now this is very similar, right?
It's talking about a sound as of a wind
and how the sounds of a wind is like the Spirit.
And so this situation in Acts chapter number 2,
when it's saying that they heard a sound
as of a mighty rushing wind,
it's pointing us that this is relating to the Holy Ghost.
Now why does Jesus say this?
Well because you can't necessarily see spiritual salvation, right?
I can't just look at you guys and say,
Oh yeah, I could tell you're saved because you're wearing a nice tie.
I could just tell you're saved because you went out soul winning.
You can't do that, right?
But you know how you could tell if someone's saved?
By what you hear, right?
So you hear the sound of wind,
so is everyone that's born of the Spirit.
Well I can't see that you're saved,
but I could hear your testimony
as to what you believe it takes to be saved,
and then I can tell this person's saved,
or they say something heretical and I say,
this person's not saved.
Now look at verse number 3.
It says,
They appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire,
and it sat upon each of them.
I mean this is a very strange event that's happening.
Cloven is like the past participle of the verb cleave,
and cleave in the Bible sometimes means
to come together or to be split.
So I'm not 100% which one it's talking about here,
but I've always pictured this as tongues that were split,
and they're getting this vision of tongues
that are split on these people's head,
and that kind of makes sense
because of what we're going to see later on in the story.
Verse 4, it says,
And they were all, notice, filled with the Holy Ghost,
and began to speak with other tongues
as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Now this is an important phrase
because there's a difference in the New Testament
between being sealed with the Spirit of God
and being filled with the Spirit of God.
Every single person that believes in Jesus Christ
is sealed with the Spirit of God.
But we're not at all times filled with the Holy Spirit.
Being filled with the Holy Spirit
is when God empowers you to do a great work for Him.
Right? That's why when we go out soul winning
we pray that God would fill us with the Spirit
so that we can accomplish a great task for Him.
Every single time that I preach,
I pray to the Lord that God would fill me with the Holy Spirit.
Why? So that I can glorify God and edify the congregation
and do a work for God.
That's why God fills us with the Holy Spirit.
But God does not fill us with the Holy Ghost
to make ourselves look good
or to self and grandi-
I can't even say that word right now, I'm not going to pretend to.
To just glorify ourselves,
God doesn't fill us with the Holy Spirit for that reason.
But the thing that I hate about Pentecostals
is that it's a religion of glorifying self.
It's not, it's not,
hey, I'm going to speak a language
to edify people and to try to get people saved
in Spanish, or in Russian, or in German.
No, it's look at how godly I am
because I speak this secret prayer language
that none of you little peons know about.
That's not glorifying God.
That's glorifying self.
And these guys like T.D. Jakes,
they do not care about the Lord.
In fact, they hate the Lord.
All they care about is serving their own belly.
And anyone that has this doctrine,
you should immediately be wary of.
And I would never, ever
go to a church where they speak in tongues
for any reason.
Even if they give lip service to the right gospel,
I would never go to a church
that has this wicked doctrine.
Go to John chapter 20 and keep your place there
in Acts chapter number 2.
John chapter number 20.
John 20 says here,
And when he had so said,
he showed unto them his hands and his side.
Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord.
And Jesus then said Jesus to them again,
Peace be unto you, as my Father hath sent me,
even so send I you.
And when he had said this,
he breathed on them and said unto them,
Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
And from this point forward till today,
the moment that believers put their faith in Jesus Christ
for salvation, they receive the Holy Ghost.
Every single time that we go out soul winning
and we get someone to change their mind
of where they're placing their trust and their faith
and we call upon the name of the Lord with them,
they receive the Holy Ghost.
But that does not ensure that they're filled
with the Holy Ghost at all times.
You know, Jesus Christ was special
in the sense that the Bible says
that he was anointed with the oil of gladness
above his fellows.
So Jesus Christ was not only
sealed with the Holy Ghost,
but Jesus Christ was filled with the Holy Ghost
at all times.
That's incredible, right?
Us, we're praying to the Lord
to be filled with the Holy Spirit
and then our carnal nature draws us back into sin.
And then we pray that we're filled with the Holy Spirit
and then we fail and we sin again.
But Jesus Christ was always filled with the Holy Spirit.
That's what makes the blasphemy
of the Holy Spirit so wicked
and so disgusting
is because someone could look at me
or us in this room
and they could say negative things about us
but it's not necessarily because of our God.
It could be because there's problems with us
that are legitimate.
But when they're looking at Jesus Christ,
he's always filled with the Holy Spirit
so when they say to him,
oh, you're only casting out devils
by the power of the devil,
well that's blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
because there's nothing wrong with Jesus
to criticize, and he's actually filled
with the Holy Spirit at all times
to the max.
That's what makes the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
so wicked.
Ephesians 1,
this is a verse that's probably pretty familiar
to you, but if you're not,
this is a good verse to know
how to turn to when you're out soul winning.
Ephesians chapter 1 verse 13
it says,
in whom ye also trusted
after that ye heard the word of truth
the gospel of your salvation
in whom also after
that ye believed, notice this,
ye were sealed
with that Holy Spirit
of promise.
You know, and that's a great truth
that we can rejoice in today
that no matter what happens in our lives
no matter how many times we sin
no matter how many times we get backslidden
after we had put our faith in Jesus Christ
we are always sealed with the Holy Spirit
and we can never lose
our salvation. This verse absolutely
proves that you can never
lose your salvation
because it's not depending on our works to keep us
safe, no, actually the Holy Spirit
has sealed us until
the day of redemption.
Go back to Acts chapter number 2.
So we kind of talked
a little bit about the difference between the indwelling
of the Holy Spirit and the filling of the Holy Spirit
these men in Acts chapter 2, we already know
that they were sealed with the Holy Spirit
because they're saved, but something special
is happening here, why? Because they were
filled with the Holy Spirit and we're
going to see that the reason why is because
God was enabling them to do a special work
for Him. Verse 4 it says
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost
and notice what happens
and began to speak with
other tongues as the
Spirit gave them utterance.
Now, here's what people like
to read in to this text. Here's what the
Pentecostals see when they read this
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost
and began to say
Shaka laka bala shaka laka hallelujah
Did anyone else see that in the text?
What are you talking about?
You deranged freak.
That's not what it says happened.
It says that they spoke
with other tongues.
Now I'm going to read for you a
direct quote from T.D.
Jakes. I'm not going to change anything about this quote.
This is a direct word for word
quote. When he was preaching he said
we're going into another
dimension.
If you ever hear a preacher say that you should probably leave
the church, I'm just saying.
God is restoring some things.
He's doing some restoration,
some realignment, some adjustments.
He's like a chiropractor I guess.
You've gone through some painful things
but God's got purpose in the
pain and he's restoring some
things. Shaka laka laka
ah God
ah shaka laka
The glory of the Lord is in this place.
That was
a direct quote my friends.
Who thinks that
that's being filled with the Holy Spirit?
You're going to tell me
that you're reading Acts chapter number two
and God filled the apostles
with the Holy Spirit to do
that?
That's insanity.
Yet there is thousands
thousands of
churches all across America
and thousands of pastors
that actually are stupid enough
to think that that's what this chapter is talking about.
And they tell the congregation
that they need to pray a
spiritual heavenly language
to God at home
or at church. And you know what?
That's wicked as hell.
That is blaspheming God to
sit there and think that God is running some sort of
clown show or that the Holy Spirit
is going to fill you so that you can act
like a complete deranged animal.
It's blasphemous to teach
this. That's why I would never go to
a church that teaches anything close to this stuff.
What does it mean?
Go to verse five of the same
chapter Acts two verse five and it says
and there were dwelling at
Jerusalem Jews
devout men out of
notice this every nation
under heaven.
Now when this was noised abroad the multitude
came together and were confounded
because underlining this
that every man heard
them speak in his own
language. Now think about this
why in verse five
does the Bible need to tell us
these devout Jews from
all nations if
what they were speaking was some heavenly prayer
language that no one understands. Why would
you even bring up their nationality? It doesn't
make any sense. If
speaking with tongues is this
gibberish that's a secret prayer language
why does it say oh by the way there's people
from every nation under heaven. That wouldn't
matter because they're speaking a language
that's not even earthly. It's not even
of any nation. Why would you bring up the
fact that they have all these different nationalities?
Well it gives us the answer
it says because that every man
heard them speak
in his own language. And here
look at verse number seven it says and they were
all amazed
and marveled.
Now is that is that your reaction when you
see T.D. Jakes? I'm not
just like marveling like wow
this is a man of God
doing such a great work for
God. I'm I'm amazed and
marveling in a different sense. I'm
just like what the hell is this cult.
Like this is scary
right. But I wouldn't be
like amazed and glorifying God. It says
saying one to another behold
are not all these which speak
Galileans. Now put
yourself into this story. Wouldn't
you marvel wouldn't you
be amazed if all these Galileans
got up and all of a
sudden they started speaking languages that they
had never learned.
I think this is I think this is one of the coolest
miracles in the Bible. And like
if I could just like somehow get
one of these gifts which I believe
they're done away and I'm going to talk about that later in the sermon
but like this would be one of them. How cool
would it be just to go all over the world
and you just stroll into China and boom
you speak in Chinese. You just stroll into Germany
and boom you speak in German. Like that's amazing.
And if I saw this happen
I would marvel. I would
be amazed. But you know what I'm not marveling
and amazed by some
weird false prophet
screaming and speaking gibberish
in his church and people running
up and down the aisles and acting like that's
of God. I'm just marveling at people's
stupidity if anything.
So here's the question.
Why did God
use this miracle? Why
did God fill these men with
the Holy Spirit and allow them to speak in
languages that they had never learned. Well let's
put ourselves into the setting of the story here.
The New Testament is just
starting. They're just at
the beginning of this. So don't you think that God
would want to enable these men
to get the Gospel out throughout the world very
quickly. Well what's a good way
to get the Gospel out very quickly
by enabling these men to speak
all the languages of the world basically.
That would be a way to get the Gospel out
very quickly. Go to
keep your place there and go to 1 Corinthians
chapter number 14.
1 Corinthians chapter number 14.
Now here's what you
have to understand about the book of Acts
and please remember this.
The book of Acts
is not an instruction manual.
Let me repeat
that. The book of Acts
is not an instruction
manual. It is the
record of the act
of the apostles. Okay.
You want to know what the instruction manuals
are? It's the epistles of Paul
when he's correcting churches saying
here's what you're doing. Here's what
you should be doing. Here's how you fix
all your problems. 1 Corinthians
2 Corinthians. All of his epistles
he's giving them instructions
on what to do. But you want to know what the book of
Acts is. It's just recording
the actions that took place.
Okay. And Pentecostals
because they have this warped view
of the book of Acts, they take
everything that happens in the book of Acts
as some sort of model of what their church
should be like today. But that is a wrong
mentality. Yes this
is the word of God. Yes everything in it
is true. But no not
everything that occurs in the book of Acts
is what we should be doing today.
And that is a very important thing for you
to remember. Look at 1 Corinthians 14.
1 Corinthians 14 is an instruction
manual. And Paul's giving you
the rules of how a church should run.
Look at verse 22.
So is speaking in tongues
meant to profit
people that are already saved?
No. Keep reading.
So what was the purpose of the
apostles speaking with other tongues?
To preach the gospel.
To get people who don't believe in
Jesus Christ to repent
change their mind and put their faith in
Jesus Christ. That's what it was for.
But right here in the instruction manual
in 1 Corinthians 14 he says hey
tongues are not for people that
already believe. You know who it's for?
People that don't believe. But prophesying
you know who that's for? That's for people
that are saved. That's why I'm not up here
this morning preaching the gospel to you guys
because I'm pretty sure everyone in here is already
saved. And if you're not then
we'll get you saved after the service.
But I'm not going to spend the whole service preaching the
gospel presentation because that's not profitable.
You know what is profitable?
Prophesying. Preaching the whole council
of God. That's actually profitable
for God's people. Go to
Mark chapter number 16. Mark chapter
number 16.
So that's one reason
why God allowed them to do this special
miracle. He wanted to get the gospel out
quick. He wanted to enable them to preach
the gospel in every language.
Here's another reason. Again
this is the beginning of the New Testament.
So God is using miracles
to confirm his word.
He's giving his word but he's
also giving miracles so that in the minds of the people
their word can be confirmed
in his eyes. Now that's exactly what the Bible says.
Mark 16 verse 20 it says
and they went forth and
preached everywhere the Lord
working with them and notice this
and confirming the word
with signs following
Amen. You want to know
why I believe that these gifts
today have ceased.
There's a doctrine called
cessationism and I believe
in that. I believe that the
apostolic gifts
of healing and of speaking
with other tongues I believe that that
stuff is over and here's why
because the word of God is completed
because we
have the full canon of scripture
we have Genesis through revelation
God's not coming to Joseph Smith in the
1800's and giving another testament of Jesus
Christ. No it's over
so God doesn't need to confirm
his word with miracles anymore
why? Because we have the completed
word of God. So these
people that get up that call themselves
apostles and act like they have the power
of healing or the power of speaking
in tongues 100%
of them are liars
100% of them are frauds
and are false prophets
anyone says they have the gift of healing
the gift of speaking in tongues
run away screaming the other direction
because the reason God gave
these men this power
was to get the gospel out and to
confirm the word of God
notice God gave them these powers
not for their own glory but for the
glory of God
but what do you see today at
Pentecostal churches? They're glorifying
themselves and T.D. Jakes
you know with his whoever
knows how many tens of millions or hundreds
of millions of dollar house
driving around in his fancy Bentleys
that's not a man of God folks
that's not a man that cares about the things of God
a man that only cares about himself
and all Pentecostals
are just like him as far as I'm concerned
where were we here
let's flip back to Acts chapter number 2
Acts chapter number 2
it says in verse 12
and they were all amazed
and were in doubt, they were like doubting
did this just happen? saying one to another
what meaneth this?
others mocking said these men are full of
new wine
now as far as I could tell this is the only time
in the Bible that new wine
actually means alcohol
usually new wine is referring to Jews
but as far as I could tell and if someone knows
something more I'm happy to hear it
as far as I could tell this is the only time in the Bible where new wine
is referring to alcohol
and you'll see later on in the chapter that it's for sure
referring to alcohol but I mean
you can kind of understand why maybe someone
thought this way because
if I saw brother Ben
talking to a Chinese guy
and I know for a fact Ben doesn't speak Chinese
and he's like
I'd be like did someone spike
Ben's coffee or something?
is he okay?
so this crazy thing happened and they're saying
woah, what's going on?
and here's the thing
Pentecostals when they're speaking in tongues
they kind of do always sound drunk, it's weird
verse 14 says but Peter
standing up with the eleven
lifted up his voice and said unto them ye men of Judea
and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem
be this known unto you and he hearkened to my words
for these are not drunken
as he supposed
so Peter, he thinks they're talking about alcohol
he's saying woah woah
these people aren't drunk as you're thinking right now
seeing it is but the third hour of the day
but this is that which was
spoken by the prophet Joel
so now he's going to explain that the prophecies
of the book of Joel are being fulfilled
chapter 2 at the day of Pentecost
verse 17 it says
and it shall come to pass in the last days sayeth God
I will pour out of my spirit
upon all flesh
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy
and your young men shall see visions
and your old men shall dream dreams
and on my servants and on my handmaidens
I will pour out in those days
of my spirit and they shall prophesy
and I will show wonders in heaven above
and signs in the earth beneath
blood and fire and vapor of smoke
will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood
before the great and notable day of the Lord come
and it shall come to pass that
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved so look
in the book of Joel, Joel is prophesying
several different events that are
going to be happening in the latter
days and the phrase
latter days often times
is just referring to the New Testament
in general like from the moment
the New Testament starts
is considered the last days
and so that's why you have some
of the events that Joel is talking about at the beginning
of this is the day of Pentecost
way at the beginning of the New Testament
and then some of it is literally talking about the day of the
Lord way at the end
it's all still considered the last days
that's something to keep in mind
go to 1 Corinthians chapter
number 14
1 Corinthians chapter number 14
let's answer
this question
does this gift still exist
today I think you know the answer is absolutely
not let's look at the Bible and get
that answer 1 Corinthians 14
verse number 27
1 Corinthians
14, 27 it says if any man
speak in an unknown tongue
which here's the thing we know what that
means that means speaking in a foreign language
let it be by two
or at the most by three
and that by course and let
one interpret
so remember the book of Acts
is not an instruction manual
but the epistles of Paul are
an instruction manual and he's giving you the
rules for what it would take to
speak in an unknown tongue
and one of the rules it says that you
could have a max of three
speakers and someone
has to be interpreting so let me ask
you this when Pentecostals are
having their they're rolling on the floor
and barking like a dog and speaking gibberish
services are they getting up and speaking
speaking in gibberish and then translating
that no they're not
why because they want to look like they're some
esoteric guru that has a
special connection with God and a special
language with God that only he knows
so that he can dupe the minds of the people
into thinking he's special
so they can keep giving him money
that's what he's doing
he's a complete fraud he's a
complete charlatan because if it was real
you know what he would be doing he'd be obeying
what the Bible says to do when you speak in an unknown
tongue but what would this look like biblically
well if we had someone that was a great
preacher but they only spoke German
we could technically have them preach
but we would have to have someone
interpret what they're saying we couldn't just
sit here and listen to a whole sermon
in German because only the Chamblies would get
it that'd be kind of a waste of time
we want all of us to get it right
verse 28 but if
there be no interpreter let him
keep silence in
the church and let him speak
to himself and to God hey if
there's no one out there that can interpret
T.D. Jakes nonsense
then T.D. Jakes the Bible says to shut
your mouth to shut
your mouth and to keep silence
that's what the Bible says
verse 30
if anything be revealed to another that sitteth by
let the first hold
his peace for ye may all
prophesy one by one that
all may learn and all may
be comforted and notice this
this is a very important verse and the
spirits of the prophets are
subject to the prophets
you know what that means that means that the
Holy Spirit is never going to possess
a believer that means that the
Holy Spirit is not going to use a believer
like some sort of puppet and
mechanically dictate all
this weird gibberish nonsense
out of a believer why
because the Bible says that the spirit of the
prophets are subject unto
the prophets and you know this is even true
when you look at the doctrine of the inspiration
scripture that the
Bible is an amazing book
because it is a hundred percent
divine but it's also a hundred
percent human too because
the prophets of God that spoke when they were
inspired by the Holy Spirit you could
still see their personality
and their own style
within their writings why because
God was not mechanically dictating
Jeremiah God was not
mechanically dictating the prophets
of old he was filling
them with the Holy Spirit and guiding them
to speak his words so
definitely today in the New Testament first
of all no one is speaking scripture
today by any form of dictation
you want to believe in that's completely done because we have
the whole Bible but even if
that were to happen he certainly wouldn't be possessing
people and making them speak
gibberish but of course
any type of dictation is done today
verse number
33 says
for God is not the author of
confusion but of peace
as in all the churches
of the saints and you know what
word really describes
Pentecostal churches is just confusing
it's confusing
why are people barking why are people rolling
around why is there a woman preacher
why is this guy speaking
gibberish it's just complete
confusion and you know what you know who's
the author of that the devil is the author of that
because the Bible says that God is not
the author of confusion so you walk into
a church like a Pentecostal church
that's just completely confusing you're
probably in a demonic church because
God is not the author of
confusion here's another claim
that Pentecostals make we talked
about the speaking in tongues here's another
claim that they make is they claim that
baptism should be done in the
name of Jesus only
and they're very dogmatic about this
many of them they would say that
if you got baptized like this
I baptized you my brother in the name of the father
and of the son and of the holy spirit
buried in the likeness of his death raised to walk
in newness of life that that is not a biblical
baptism that you have to only
be baptized in the name of Jesus just I
baptized you in the name of Jesus Christ that's all you
could say very dogmatic about it
now there's a encyclopedia
Britannica article under something
called Jesus only baptism this is
what it says the Jesus
only movement of believers within
Pentecostalism holds that true
baptism can only be in the
name of Jesus rather than in the name
of all three persons of
the trinity now I hope you
know that our church strongly disagrees
with this false doctrine because I don't know if you've noticed
every single time pastor Shelley baptizes someone
he baptizes them in the name of the father
and of the son and of the holy ghost
now let's go to Acts chapter number two
and again as we're reading this keep this in mind
Acts is not an instruction
manual it is the record of the
actions of the apostles okay
Acts chapter two verse thirty seven
now when they had heard this they were pricked in their
heart and Peter and said unto Peter and to the
rest of the apostles men and brethren
what shall we do then
Peter said unto them repent
and be baptized every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins
and ye shall receive the gift
of the holy ghost so what do we
have here we have Peter baptizing someone
it says that he baptized him in the name of
Jesus Christ so go to
Matthew chapter number twenty eight
I think there's a couple different ways
to understand this so first
let's go back and look at
the command to baptize
where it came from who it came from
look at Matthew chapter number twenty eight
verse eighteen
and Jesus came and spake
unto them saying
all power is given unto me in heaven and earth
go ye therefore and
teach all nations baptizing
them in the name of the father
and of the son and of
the holy ghost
so here we have a clear
statement a clear
command from the son of God
himself from Jesus Christ
commanding his disciples to
go out into all the world to preach the gospel
to teach all nations and to
baptize them in the name of who
the father the son and the holy ghost
so what am I supposed to do am I supposed
to look at the book of acts
which is simply a record of the actions of the apostles
take acts two thirty eight
and say well Peter baptized
in the name of Jesus therefore
screw what Jesus said
forget what Jesus said
forget the great commission I mean who cares
about the great commission right I mean we're a
church we don't really care about that do we
and just completely ignore Jesus Christ
because of one verse
in the book of acts that is a stupid
way to interpret the bible
you should always let the clear
statements of Jesus Christ
be your binoculars
by which you view all the rest of the bible
if you don't understand something else in the
bible it seems a little unclear to you
go back to the clear statements of Jesus
and say okay Jesus said this
so I might be misinterpreting something
in acts chapter two
which is not an instruction manual
please remember that
now here's the thing I don't think
that Peter even did anything wrong here
in acts chapter number two personally
because here's why
if you are baptized
in the name of the father
and of the son and of the holy ghost
do you know that it's accurate
to still say that you were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ
hey I baptized you in the
name of the father and in the son and of the holy ghost
were you baptized in the name of Jesus
yeah cause he's the son
so when it says that Peter baptized
him in the name of Jesus
that is still true
even if he literally said in the name of the
father and of the son and the holy ghost
what if I said to you for dinner
I had enchiladas and rice
and beans
and chips and bubbly
and then I said
in another sentence hey I had
enchiladas for dinner would that be true
yeah it's still true
you don't have to literally spell out every single thing
that you say yeah I had enchiladas
for dinner there could have been other sides there that you didn't mention
okay so if
if Peter baptized him in the name of the father and the son
and the holy ghost it's still accurate to say that he
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ
so very very weak
argument that they have here
now here's another thing
here's another way of looking at this
is that a lot of times in the Bible when it says
in the name of
it's actually denoting a source of authority
okay
Acts chapter 2 let's read this again
verse 38 says then Peter said unto them repent
and be baptized every one of you
in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins and ye shall receive the
gift of the holy ghost now think about this
let's think about this in terms of authority
who's the one that commanded to baptize
Jesus Christ
so he's saying hey I want you to be
baptized every one of you by the
authority of Jesus Christ cause he gave
us the great commission this
isn't turning things around and saying oh
just forget all the instructions that Jesus
gave you in Matthew and start baptizing
people in the name of Jesus only
that is ridiculous
go to Matthew chapter number 21
let's look at some instances where
the name of actually means authority
so you're going to see both
of these interpretations are true
Matthew chapter 21 verse 9
and the multitudes that went
before and that followed cried
saying Hosanna to the son of David
blessed is he that cometh notice
in the name of the Lord
you want to know under who's authority
Jesus Christ was coming God the Father
the Lord Hosanna
in the highest go to John chapter number
10 John chapter number 10
let's look through some more verses here
John chapter 10 look at verse 24
it says then came the Jews round about
him and said unto him how long
does thou make us to doubt if thou be the Christ
tell us plainly
Jesus answer them I told you and you believe not
the works that I do notice
in my Father's name
they bear witness of me but you believe
not because you're not of my sheep
and as I said unto you so again
where is he getting his authority
to do his great works in the name of the Father
by the authority of
his Father let's look at one more
John 15 flip the page a couple
times there to John chapter number 15
John 15 verse 16
ye have not chosen me but I have chosen
you and ordained you that ye should go
and bring forth fruit and that your fruit
should remain that whatsoever ye
shall ask of the Father in
my name
he may give it to you he's saying hey
when you go to prayer use my authority
when you're praying that's why we pray
in Jesus name
this is not something that we're mindlessly repeating
we're saying Father we're coming
to you by the authority of Jesus Christ
because he's the high priest
he's the intermediary between
us and God and so when we say in
Jesus name we're saying by the power
of Jesus Christ we're coming to you
it's not saying that it's just
Jesus only baptism or something weird
like that Acts chapter number 3
Acts chapter number 3
verse 6 it says then Peter said
silver and gold have I none
but such as I give thee in
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
rise up and
walk so I hope you've seen through these
examples that often times when something's
done in the name of something it's just
denoting authority so don't get
this idea that Acts chapter 2 verse 38
is just saying oh yeah when we baptize someone you
can't say the name of the Father or the Holy Ghost
it's the name of Jesus only no it's the Father
the Son and the Holy Ghost but we're
doing that in the name of by the
authority of Jesus Christ why
because he gave us the great commission
now here's
the last one I'll talk about today
you want to definitely
keep your place in Acts chapter number 2
but the last claim
that many Pentecostals make
that is a wicked false doctrine is that
Jesus is the Father
and they're not
they're not just like lightly mistaken
on this and you show them scripture and they immediately
change no what they mean is a doctrine called
modalism called oneness
and they believe that there's no distinction
between the three persons of the trinity
they believe that Jesus Christ is
the Father meaning Jesus Christ
is getting his authority from himself
and Jesus Christ is praying to himself
and Jesus Christ when he's on the
cross is separated from himself
and when God raised up Jesus
he raised himself and
he's not speaking his own words but he's just
speaking his own words
okay that's what Pentecostals are doing they
just completely twist everything in scripture
they don't understand scripture
at all now I looked
up modalism and this is the definition I found
it says the theological doctrine
that the members of the trinity are not
three distinct persons I think it's an
accurate definition oneness
is a non-trinitarian religious
movement within the Protestant Christian family of
churches known as Pentecostalism
the doctrine states that there is one God a singular
divine spirit with no distinction of persons
who manifests himself in many
ways including as Father, Son and Holy
Spirit and these
doctrines modalism oneness whatever you want to call
it this is what back in like 2016
Tyler Baker
the disgraced deacon of faith
board Baptist church was trying to suck people
into is teaching this damnable
heresy of modalism
and oneness and you know it's good to talk about
this every once in a while because as
time goes on we're gonna have people in church that have no
clue who Tyler Baker even is and they've
never heard of oneness or modalism in their life
but look if you hear
someone teaching in this church this
damnable heresy of modalism or
oneness you should let Pastor Shelley know immediately
because we're not talking about a difference
of opinion we're talking about
damnable heresy and this
cannot be tolerated in any biblical church
stay
in Acts chapter 2 I want to
read for you 2 John 1
9 you can stay there in Acts chapter 2
2 John 1 says this
whosoever transgresseth
and abideth not in the doctrine of
Christ hath not
God he
that abideth in the doctrine of Christ
he hath both the Father and
the Son if you reject
the trinity you are not
saved if you believe oneness
or modalism you are not
saved if you twist
any doctrine regarding
Jesus Christ if you are
perverting the doctrines of Christ
you are not saved
you have to believe in the
Jesus of the Bible to be saved
if I said if someone said to me
I believe I'm a sinner and I
believe that I deserve hell and I
believe that the Mormon Jesus
who's the brother of Satan
came down to earth and died for my sins
and that I'm putting all my trust in him
and I can never lose my salvation
that person will go straight to hell
straight to hell because
it's not just enough to say faith alone
you have to have faith alone in the right Jesus
so
this is why you can't listen to these
Pentecostals these oneness modalist heretics
because they're going to say Jesus Jesus Jesus
they're going to have a Bible
they're going to say they're your brothers in Christ
but they're not our brothers in Christ
they are unsaved
Acts chapter number 20
Acts chapter number 2
look at verse 32
this Jesus
hath who?
God raised up
where of we are all
witnesses hey you have to have
this Jesus you have to believe
in this Jesus you have to believe
that this Jesus rose again from the
dead not this shape shifting
different hat wearing
oneness modalist
psychopathic Jesus
that talks to himself that prays
to himself it's blasphemous
to believe in that
and you know I say that of course I
don't believe that I'm saying what they believe
is in a psychopathic Jesus
they're not our brothers in Christ
verse 33
therefore
being by the right hand
of God sounds like two persons
exalted
and having received of the
father
receiving it from someone else
if I'm playing catch with Devon
I'm throwing the baseball to Devon
he's throwing it back to me
receiving it of Devon
I'm trying to make this really simple
I'm not playing catch with myself like
trying to go catch it you know what I mean
like I know there's some guys in the NFL that could do that
but I'm too white for that
what a joke
verse 34
for David is not ascended into the heavens
but he saith himself the Lord
said unto my Lord
sit thou on my right hand until I make
thy foes thy footstool
therefore let all the house of Israel
know assuredly that God
hath made the same Jesus whom ye
have crucified both Lord and
Christ God the
Father made Jesus
Christ the Lord meaning
the boss and the savior
and Jesus didn't give himself that power
Jesus didn't give himself that
title or that authority God the
Father gave it to him and you cannot
read a single page of the New
Testament without this oneness
Pentecostal doctrine just
being debunked in front of your face
it's on every page of the
New Testament virtually
go to Isaiah chapter number nine
chapter number nine
so if Acts chapter
two is Pentecostal's favorite chapter in the Bible
Isaiah chapter nine is
probably their second favorite chapter
and you know I love both
of these chapters I just hate it when
people pervert them and teach lies about them
Isaiah nine
verse six
for unto
us a child is born
unto us a son is given
and the government shall be upon his shoulder
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor
Almighty God the Everlasting
Father the Prince of
Peace and they take this phrase
here where it says Jesus shall be called
the Everlasting Father
and they say there you go that's
proof the Bible teaches that Jesus
is the Father well not so fast
let's keep reading here look at verse seven it says
of the increase of his government
and peace there shall be no end
upon the throne of David and upon
his kingdom to order it and to
establish it with judgment and with
justice from henceforth even forever
the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform
this so let's look at these two verses
and I want to point out some
important words just in these two verses
what do we have we have government
Wonderful
Counselor
God which means Lord
Father Prince of Peace
Government throne
Kingdom Judgment
Justice all
what are all these words having in common
authority, leadership
reigning, being a king
being a ruler these are all
basically synonyms for each other
even like judges
in our country today
they're in a position of authority and
often times judges or attorneys
will be called Counselor
Counsel
well that's what it's referring to here now go to
Isaiah chapter number 22
and we're going to look at this word
Father because they're saying
oh the everlasting father
that proves that that means that Jesus
is the father and there's no distinction
between persons let's look at
Isaiah 22 verse 21 it says
and I will clothe him with thy robe
and strengthen him with thy
girdle and I will commit thy
government into his hand again
this sounds like ruler sounds like leadership
and notice what he said
it says and he shall be a father
into to the inhabitants of Jerusalem
and to the house of Judah
so according to this book according to Isaiah
what is someone called when the
government is given into their hand
what are they called?
a father, right?
when we look at even our own founding what?
fathers
they're the people that did what?
they established our government
they were the rulers, they were the ones in charge
that's why they're called founding fathers
and Isaiah is saying here
hey when someone's given control of the government
what are they called? they're called a father
go to Genesis chapter
number 42 Genesis
chapter number 42
let's prove this a few different ways here
Genesis chapter
42
verse number
6 says and Joseph was the
notice this word governor
over the land and he
it was that sold all the
people of the land and Joseph's brethren came
and bowed down themselves before him
with their faces to the earth
so here we have a verse where the Bible is saying that Joseph
was the governor
now look at Genesis 45 verse 8
flip the page there
Genesis 45 verse 8
Joseph said this
so now it was not you that sent me
hither but God
and he hath made me what?
a father to Pharaoh
and Lord of all his house
and a ruler throughout all
the land of Egypt
now who here reads that verse
and thinks oh yeah
oh yeah Joseph was the physical father
he was the one that brought forth
the children of Egypt
they're all his physical children
no that's not what father means
we have the Bible saying he was the governor
and then Joseph tells us what that word
means he says I was made a
father to Pharaoh
so when the Bible says in Isaiah 9 6
that Jesus Christ is the everlasting
father you know what that means
it means that Jesus Christ is the ever
lasting ruler
he's the everlasting king
he's the everlasting
prince he's the everlasting
counselor that's what that means
because someday we're going to have a millennial
reign on this earth where Jesus Christ
will rule this earth for a thousand
years and you know what Jesus Christ will reign
for forever he will be in a position of power
and authority forever Jesus
Christ is the everlasting
father you know what that is an awesome
truth that is a beautiful truth
that is a truth that gets me excited
as we look at the leaders of our world
and how horrible they are and isn't it great
to know that Jesus Christ will be the
everlasting father
the everlasting ruler
the everlasting king
I'm excited for that
and that's actually a truth I could get excited for
you know what I don't get excited for
reading that and thinking like oh
Jesus is the same person as the father
that means Jesus is praying to himself
he's not speaking his own words
but he is speaking his own words
he's separated from himself on the cross
it doesn't make any sense
there's no beautiful truth there all that does is just bring
confusion to your mind
because it's not true
truth dissolves doubts
go to Matthew chapter number 3
Matthew chapter number 3
let's look at a few verses proving
the trinity
and then we'll close this morning
Matthew chapter 3 verse 16
and Jesus when he was baptized
went up straight way out of the water
and lo the heavens were opened unto him
and he saw the spirit of God
descending like a dove
and lighting upon him
and lo a voice from heaven saying
this is my beloved son
who I am well pleased
so what do we have? we have Jesus Christ
the son of God being baptized
he sees the Holy Spirit descending like a dove
and we have God the father speaking in heaven
we have all three members of the trinity
right here shown for us
how could you read this and say that oneness is true
how can you read this and say that
modalism is true
go to Luke chapter number 22
Luke chapter number 22
let's look at a few more verses
Luke chapter number 22
verse 42
this is Jesus saying
father if thou be willing
remove this cup from me
nevertheless
not my will
but thine be done
you know what that proves? that proves that at times
the will of God
within the trinity could be different from one another
but you know what? there's an authority structure
in the trinity God the father
and Jesus Christ will always perfectly
obey the father and that's actually
great because that's a good
example for us of how to live our lives
that's an example for us that hey
you're going to be under authority in your life
and there's going to be times maybe where your will
doesn't align exactly with the authority
but we should be like Jesus and say
nevertheless not thy will
or not my will but thine be done
and submit ourselves to the righteous authorities in our lives
there's going to be times you disagree with your boss
ladies there's going to be times you disagree with your husband
children there's going to be times that you disagree
with your parents
but we should follow Jesus' example
and submit ourselves regardless of what
our will is no it's what's the will of the
authority in our lives
go to John chapter number 5
John chapter number 5
look at verse number 30 it says
I can of mine own
self do nothing
you know your self
is a person
he's saying like I can of my own person
do nothing oh but Jesus and the father
are the same person makes no
sense as I hear
I judge and my judgment is
just because I seek not mine own will
but the will of the father which hath
sent me last one
go to Hebrews chapter number 1
Hebrews chapter number 1
starting in verse number 1 it says
God who's referring to God the father
who at sundry times and undiverse
manners spake in time past
unto the fathers
that's a good word by the prophets
hath in these last days
spoken unto us by his son
so we have God and the son
whom he the father
hath appointed heir of all things
by whom also
he made the worlds who being the
brightness of his glory
and the express image of his
person
underline that word person
and upholding all things by the word of his
power when he hath by himself purged
our sins sat down on the right hand of the majesty
on high
the bible says that Jesus Christ
is the express image
of God the fathers person
meaning that Jesus Christ
looks exactly like
God the father but it doesn't mean that they're the
same person because
it's very clear in this verse that
God is speaking unto us by his son
meaning that they're not the same person
look down at verse 8 but unto
the son he sayeth
so God the father is saying this unto the son
thy throne oh
God is forever and ever
a scepter of righteousness is the scepter
of thy kingdom
so here we have a great verse that not only proves
the trinity but also proves the deity of
Christ when God the father himself
is looking at Jesus Christ
and calling him God
that is a powerful verse
that's a verse you should know out soul winning
and be ready to turn there if someone
doesn't believe in the divinity
of Jesus Christ
but look I'm going to close you could
stay there I'm going to close with this last
verse right here it says in 1 Peter
315 it says 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 you know we should be ready as
Christians to give answers
for the things that we believe we
should be ready to defend the faith
and especially against the wicked
religion of Pentecostalism
because they are not our brothers in
Christ they are enemies of the
gospel we talked about three major
false doctrines we didn't even talk about the fact
that they believe you have repenting your sins to be saved
we didn't even talk about the fact that they believe you could lose your
salvation you know we didn't even talk
about these weird you know word of faith
prophecy churches where you pay
all your money to learn all this garbage
there's so much wrong with these
people but look us as Christians
we should be ready we should be armed with the
sword and know how to
defend what we believe and
how to use the sword offensively
to destroy false doctrine
Lord thank you for this day thank you
for your word and the wisdom
contained therein I just pray that you would help people
to wake up to the lie of Pentecostalism
I pray that you would cause their
churches to fail and that
people would get into a
good church that preaches the right gospel
and has the right doctrine that's actually
seeking to please you
and not their own bellies in Jesus' name we pray
Amen
