*The doctrine of progressive revelation | |||
*Your Pastor will take you through. | |||
*The Message is our Absolute. In other words - ''William Branham said it, I believe it, that settles it.'' | |||
*The Pastor is our Absolute or Your Pastor in his Office is always right. | |||
*Diminishing the Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ of two thousand years ago, as a result of Promoting the Jesus Christ of Today. | |||
*The focus on the message, removes the focus from the bible. | |||

*The church is the wife, the husband is the pastor | |||
*The KJV is the only inspired translation of the Bible. | |||
*"programs" are of the devil, so no-one does anything to help others through the church. | |||
*Missions are for people overseas, not the homeless down the street. | |||
*It's OK to preach against other churches who don't have the mighty revelation. | |||
*Deacons are glorified ushers (and no longer redistribute wealth to the poor) | |||
*There's no higher order to reveal the Word than a prophet. - The following is a quote of Luke Gibson - "that is an elementary teaching in this message and a close look at the scriptures will declare God always reveals His Word by prophets (Amos 3:7)" | |||
*Education is of the devil... but I know more than other Christians. | |||
*Everyone outside the message is foolish virgin | |||
