Greetings Brethren in Jesus Name!

I am so happy for some dear friends of ours. The J family in IN have received the revelation of home fellowships. They are ex-Amish and truly see this as the way the Lord intended for His Church to function.

They recently left their IC and got a lot of flack (to say the least) from the solo pastor there.

If you could, rejoice with uis and if the Lord lays it upon your heart to send them words of encouragement, you may do so here or PM me for their address. They are also very interested in reading Pagan Christianity if anyone feels led to lend it to them. I have Viola's first one but do not have the new one.

Her voicemail to me this morning was so encouraging. She said they feel they are no longer on shifting sand and are free to be Apostle-like, having the power to baptize and pray with others. (something which they were previously told only the elite leadershp could do).

They have a hunger and desire to reach more of the Anabaptists and there is no telling what the Lord will do in and through them!!!

Please keep them in your prayers!!

They are meeting tomorrow with the ex-amish now apostolic family who showed them the truth in Acts 2:38/new birth. This family is also very weary of the current IC system.

There is another man and his wife coming but they have yet to prove themselves teachable and we think they are only going there to argue and convince them they are wrong. We could be wrong about this and pray they are going there with an open and honest heart.

Regardless, they need our prayers. They may also be meeting up with the assistant pastor from the IC they just left. He says he wants to hear it too.

It is a precarious position to be in when you first get this revelation, as we have found out several times. For us, we weren't really able to elaborate every minute detail of what we believed and why. Of course, most people in IC's even today can't even do that. It is wonderful to share this truth only if they are open to seeing Scripture for what it is instead of regurgitating what they've been taught for years what it means. When the Bible is no longer the final Authority, it's just a fruitless debate.

So they would not fellowship in a home that has a t.v.?

No, I think they would. They have come to many realizations about man-made rules and things like that. Especially when it concerns what others choose to do with their own families. While they may not think T.V. is the best for them and their family right now, I don't think they'll be condemning anyone who does.

Ok, didn't want to be left out--lol. Man, leaving the I.C. for the home version must be an adventure.


Deprograming.
