pastor. sunil anthikad: i was simply complimenting your open and scriptural comment. in the olden days, god's people used to quote from the bible more often in their sermons, but today that is disappearing. it is time to return to the olden day spirituality. excuse me if i have offended you. i will not repeat the same mistake again. god bless you.

A.S.Mathew,I don't understand what you're trying to communicate.What I want say is The Scripture must be our final authority.Whatever we see against it,we must oppose openly like Paul opposed Peter in certain occasion.Let us say like Luther,"Until and unless I'm convinced by the word of God.....".A true righteous man's seeds will never beg for food,so they need not worry about it,God will provide.If not true,they have to work for their and their children's stomach.If the holy temple turn to be the den of robbers,God has no responsibility.Jesus always taught about the Kingdom of God and jews and the disciples were thinking about the kingdom of Israel(Acts1:1-8).Seek first the kingdom of god.....(Mt.6:33,Ps.23:6).No need to run after them or preach about them,if we are faithful they will follow us.

pastor sunil anthikad: god is a god of righteousness, and king david said in his old age " i have been young, and now am old; yet i have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread" psalms 37:25. what we read in psalms 23:5, god's promise. the gospel has three dimensions, grace-suffering and prosperity. however, now the modern day preachers who are too one-sided in their theological interpretation to attract the audience have very systematically elevated "prosperity" but the other two things are thrown away as non-valid in the 21st century. we believers have great spiritual responsibility to watch, what is going on in the field of ministry, and must open our hands and hearts to provide for the hard-working ministers of the gospel, who are sowing in tears because they will reap a great harvest. when i get the e-mails of people showing the pictures, how they are using the internet as a great opportunity to get wealthy, too hard to believe!.

T.S.Balan,a great man of God,who fought fearlessly and tirelessly against every wrong practices and teachings.He exposed the true face of so called saints.He showed us how they misinterpret the word of God and yoke with Babylonian churches.He revealed the business motives of conventions and bless meetings.He convinced us it with many evidences and pictures.He has done his work and gone.Now,it is our responsibility to evaluate and test everything that comes on our way and respond appropriately.Rise and stand boldly against all ungodly practices.Our silence is a sign of timidity.Jesus was so aggressive against the false teaching and practices of His time.Be imitators of Christ.Let us all say Sola Scripture,nothing more and nothing less.

dear believers….. ***he that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favor than that flattereth with the tongue. prov 28:23 (kjv) **** t s balan is no more, but his ministry and works are not new. from genesis to revelation we see that truth is not weighed by majority. t s balan was a man who lived on his convictions from the bible rather than opinions of people. many may not like his way of expressing his beliefs, but as the lord said judge by righteous judgment. let us reflect on what he stood for and what he stood against and leave all judgment to christ our lord. i appreciate his fights with a cost against immorality, false teachings and greed for money & power which is predominant in the so called born again churches, who have forgotten to reflect on the book of the acts of the apostles to understand the meaning of the church and ministry. may god grant his comfort upon the sorrowing family…..

king (August 14, 2013)
many are claiming that he is prophet nadan or so and so but the fact is that half of his articles are false and baseless. i can give one example of crispin achchan. he claimed that crispin achchan went to america and gulf and earned crores of rupees but the fact is that crispin achchan still lives in rented house and rides old motorcycle donated to him by his ministry. i don't say that all what balan said are false but his approach and attitude towards people was peculiar. those who show his wrongs, he would abuse them with dirty language. if he was really prophet nadan then he wouldn't post false articles along with the true ones to fill his magazine. now as he is dead, it's between him and the lord, i have nothing to judge.

TS Balan was a great man who dared to stand alone and talk the truth in the pentacostal community. i read most of his books and his defender .The two books [marichavar evide , prajapathi krishuvalla ] helped me to clear my doubts which i had for a long time.He was a great teacher .

He was a good brother in christ. He loved Jesus very greatly also he loved the sinners and their souls, his goal was only the sinners in christ would be reached in Heaven. He loved the sinners, that is why so many realities he has written in the Defender Magazine. Thank you.

TSB become a saint now. some idiots trying to hide all his dirty blackmail business and make him a holy man. Stop this nonsense. We know that who the Balan is and what he was doing with the defender. He attacked so many innocent people and made them in a big trouble. He spoiled many families. I agree that he has a vision but it was lost. Beljourn -please stand for the truth...I don't think malayalee pentacost community never forget all the stories that he has delivered thru defender about RA..SP.. KC...etc etc...... keep distance with his agents...

since i cant read malayalam but just understand - i couldnt read the defender. but for sure i have cd's of pastor balan in which he has given short classes on various topics of the bible. that was very much helpful. i will sincerly pray that no one like pr. balan would arise but at the same time i will also sincerly pray that god will clean up the church with his whip so that hypocrisy and injustice prevailing inside the church will be over.

a reply to tom
how was pr. t s balan? just by openly criticising adulterous and treacherous ways of leaders? or because he openly spoke against heresies? he dared to stand against anything that defied god's principles....you call this wrong...gentlemen, you are on slippery ground if you say that doing these things are wrong!

i know a person (former pastor,suspeded from sharon church)(ERNAKULAM DIST),who has been collecting money from innocent believers.he was suspended because he used to send letters to many places with photographs of children s ,claiming to be belonging to his orphanages.some of these letters were returned to the church head quarters and further investigation proved that he was really cheating innocent people.after that he has been continuing his activities in secret ways because he was noted by tsb.one of his main activity is to threaten people by posting un adressed immoral letters against innocent families who warn him to stop cheating.another thing he do is to picture every one who oppose him as the agents of tsb.now he is going to be very active.

t s balan was a good teacher. i appreciate his talent as a bible teacher. hippocratic mindset of so - called mallu believers and pastors gave t s balan a room in their heart. they used t s balan for what they can’t do. all in the name of god. damaging someone who is called and used by god is not in the kingdom of god. still he was accepted and may are appreciating his ministry of damaging the work of god. they all are saying he was on an assignment not knowing ‘the greatest tragedy in life is not death, but becoming successful in wrong assignment’

People who say Balan has good in theology has no idea of Bible.He argues like a fascist.He can't tolerate if anybody questions him. His Biblical knowledge is from a Bretheren perspective.

my early belief was that those who preach the bible had a good heart of jesus christ.now i knew that some preachers have no ethical values!. earlier many preachers were coming to my house.now i will not call them. first i have to get a confirmation from real disciples of christ that preacher is having ethical values. tsb was a good teacher and he was trying to bring forward good preachers/real disciples of jesus christ. we lost a critique.'defender' magazine teach the poor people to learn from bible only but not from preachers.

i had never read tsbs website till the last pcnak. i found all tsbs reporting about us is as if he was here in usa. then by chance i ran into someone who told me how the ipcer letter that came out in balans site and how one of our brothers was clearly involved in passing the information to tsb. according to ps. itty and ps. joseph william-- only one person got the ipcer letter (that appeared in tsb site) besides the officials and that was br. thomas kurian. exactly the next day after the letter was given to thomas kurian by pastor itty abraham, the letter appeared in tsb website. it appears very strongly that tk was one of his agents. all of us do not know who else is involved as agents. but even today pastor itty and joseph william is alive-- you can call them and ask them about this incident. my question is what has ipcer done for this betrayal of confidence? what has the local church wherein tk was the official done to question him. maybe everyone will have the guts to confront him.

T.S. Balan knew everything from the Bible. Probably Malayaly Pentecostalism has not witnessed a well versed Theologian like him. He was known to be a critique.. But before he turned into a critique, he was a Theology professor and had many ministerial credentials. There is no one who can defeat him with an argument. He knew basically everything.
T.S. balan is dead, but even though he is dead, people are STILL AFRAID of him. There are many Balan's who will raise up if an injustice happens.
