What We Are Not ...
We are NOT a
"church" as you would typically think of it. We have
no organizational structure. We are not a 501(c)(3) charity. Although
there might be people that are considered "elders", we have
no heirarchy or decision making authority over anyone other than
ourselves. We rely on God to direct. We will informally support
and help each other as we are led.
We are NOT a
"movement." This is not a fad or a flash in the
pan. We're not trying to create something new. We're
trying to restore people to their "first love," to get back
to the beginning and do what Christ wanted. This may seem new
and weird in the USA, but it's happening all over the world.
We are NOT
leader-driven. Once people can tell the difference between
Truth and not-quite-Truth and have a wide, clear communication with
Jesus, they are fully capable of accomplishing that for which He has
made them. Each person has their part to play, some more
high-profile than others. That doesn't mean they're in charge.
We are NOT about
seeking manifestations or signs or wonders or miracles. We are
about Truth. Now ... we think that if you get enough Truth in
you and you are entirely inside the will of God it's likely that some
really unusual things may start happening. But we seek
God because He is God - whether those things happen or not is up to
Him. If we seek God FOR those things, it is idolatry. Any good
thing that comes is to His glory, not ours. We're to worship
and seek the Creator, not the creation. And if those things DO
happen, they need to happen inside of the instructions described in
God's Word.
We are NOT going
to tell anyone how to serve or how much to give or to whom. We
have done so much damage to the world and confused so many people
that everything is upside down and now most people will accept
anything anywhere close to Truth. All we're trying to do is get
everyone's ears tuned back in to Truth. Then God will tell them
what to do.
We reserve the
right to continue to add to this list as needed.
