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. Rapturing Faith in on the Tapes. Don't question. Don't argue. Don't Debate. Don't Discuss. Just give them a message book. If they're Seed... 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.
