it seems you are not normal. you say sorry one time then later say i am not sorry. i know you long time. i know pr. john thomas also. compare to you he is nothing in fraud business. if you are genuine in you statement can you reveal you real name. then i can say you are a real man, now you are fraud. can you prove pr. john thomas took church money, but i can prove you took money from your church during church building time and commission from the builder.

i have a requst for ipc people you guys need to stay out of the business of church of god (please). there is many capable leaders in church of god kerala state to be the next overseer. let them take care of their business. why you guys worried about church of god. we will worry about church of god. like we read in the book of judges (holy bible) in his time god will raise good and faithful servants to oversee his people, i am a strong believer of that. so please stay out of their business and that time we can use wisely to bring some sauls to christ, that will be an asset for us in here as well as in the kingdom of god too.

houston, You said "just because i don't like them i wrote like that". If I really recognize you, you are sharon ordained minister. What kind of christianity you follow? You took part in Lord's supper with those pastors in Detroit. Even after Lord's supper, you still keep grudge. That means you are not right with God. Get right with God. It is not good to fight with servants of God. Take my advice and get rectify with those ministers. Please don't write something just because you don't like them.

st, you mentioned some names and said they are fraud and immoral. Later you said sorry. did any of these pastors try to take overseer position. I know them all none of them are interested to go to India to get that post. you have to call these GOD's servants and say sorry before curse coming on you and your children. you are not s. t, you are s. k. for you now everything seem good but in no time it can turn up side down. cry now, not later.

brother james mathew: i do agree with you 101%. we all, though differ in our theological standpoint and in the spirit of fundamentalism and holiness outlook, we all have the same lord jesus, and he is the only hope of the world. let us all pray and work together to draw the attention of the darkened world to the light "jesus christ".

However let us use this source to proclaim the good news. The eternity with Jesus in the new world can be ensured only individually by individual; only if they open an account(ENTRY) in Jesus Christ through Acts, 2:38; deny the works of the flesh by continuous & conscious training relying in Holy Spirit and ensure the fruit of the spirit is in them as described in Gal.5:22. Then there will be Fr. Damien, Mother Theresa,Mahatma Gandhi etc., among the children of God. When claiming " yes I, he/she are with fruit of the spirit" don't forget the importance of the 'ENTRY' and 'EXISTENCE'. Let us see and serve others in Christian Love to be witnesses of Christ. we are not yielding souls for Christ but yielding Christ for souls. When we seek leaders to lead the folk, stick on the spiritual quality not on the visible personality, Speakership,Official efficiency, outward expressions of fear of God etc.

BROTHER JOY CHEMBAKASERI: Thank you so much for that exposing comment. Everybody is distinctively unique in their outlook of life, even while faced with scriptural issues. If we can have an open talk through the Christian love on different topics, that can teach us all a lot; also we can make the necessary alterations from our blindfolded and orthodox thinking. Please write touching different subjects, either scriptural or other subjects.

Bro:A.S.Mathew/J.Mathew/Thepraize n everybody else- don't be disturbed by someone's emotional inappropriate outburst.I had been through worst scenarios than you all,that never ever bothered me!People are of different temperaments,intellectual levels,variation levels in knowledge and on top of that some are just characters who never want to improve or be better! For some its a kind of psychological disorder or frustration.A paranoia that has affected these hum-drums,that they burst out at anything and everything,'cause they can't do anything better in life!These rodents creep into websites under false names and bash out at things and feel gratified!An award of gallantry should be given to them! Have you all noticed the one word,one line,two line responses,like little children talking-- Its not because they are busy doing something else in the middle of it,but that that's all they can do, and that too for a gratification! So,don't be disturbed--- God Bless you all___ !!!

Br. A.S., If u will not misunderstand me please let me tell- Your thoughts represent today's believers with scattered faith.They are unable to distinguish between the fruit of the Spirit and the imitation fruit. Jesus touched leper for divine healing and they healed at once. But what was the result of touching by Father Damien and Mother Theresa. were they healed? They could only comfort and make a sense of some one is caring them till their death. Lepers may have heard about Christ through Damien and Mother and comforted by comparison of the suffering of Christ compared to their sufferings.But no history says they could ensure a leper for eternity with Christ. How can they give that what they have not? If they were entered in to their ministry through Acts,2:38 they could have done the best for the lepers. However Holy Spirit can help if we request, to understand the scripture properly.

To independent: Very Funny!!! If you looking for a Bigger Malayali Church in Dallas it is Hebron IPC. But not certainly the best Church!! I am not a member of Metro COG. But it is considered as one of the best spiritual/vibrant Church in Dallas. There are many Churches in Dallas much better than Hebron like Sharon, Philedelphia, East Dallas, Zion, Bethany etc....

brother james mathew: very briefly may i thank you for your touching comment. jesus touched the lepers, mother theresa and father damian touched the lepers. they did because of christ's love in their hearts. how many so called leaders of the religious hierarchy of all denominations will touch a leper? i do remember late bishop m.a. thomas of rajastan touched the lepers with god's love. how many people of other religions are doing this? only those people who are fully charged with the love of christ can do that. do they have personal relationship with christ? are they bearing the fruit of the spirit? what are the fruits of the spirit? president john f. kennedy said that he was comfortable with only one protastant preacher, that was dr. billy graham.

Contd..2 -If Mother Theresa,who was under catholic faith, Viewing Jesus and Mary equally important for salvation and immersed in Rosary will be in better position in heaven than Dr. Billy Graham, why he preach a theology other than that of the Roman Catholics? Please pray for the right revelation on the New Testament programme of God to build up the Bride Church and to have anointed leaders to guide people in the right path without reluctance to proclaim the truth.

Br. A.S., Please don't be disappointed on seeing various comments. your problem is projected in your response itself, that you claim your views for uplifting Jesus Christ is appreciated by secular publications and non Christians ie. by the world.I,with full respect,request you to recognise God's plan for salvation of mankind.It is not a secular or sacramental way.I am also disappointed on the outward expressions of general Pentecostals.But the truth,the simple straight line to the target,is in the word of God which even the leaders are not caring. I am still sad to remember the comment of Dr.Billy Graham as quoted by you regarding his position in the heaven compared to Mother Theresa.It proves he is not a New Testament Evangelist.contd..2

i welcome bro roy, thiruvalla's suggestion, that its high time for all pentecostals to be under one umbrella.if there is real spiritualism in us there wouldn't be any factionalism amongst us.factionalism only help leaders who make use of it to establish their personal identity, it's not about glorifying god any way! it's okay for us to keep ourself at a safe distance with some one whom we think is causing a problem in some way and we can still love them from at a distance, at the same time there is no need for so much fragmentation of little little and tiny churches. i am wondering if we all stayed together, heavens would rejoice much more!
on a different note bro a.s.mathew, you were talking about the 1971 dodge having no seat belts, how about the 2013 buses having no seat belts, especially for the one's sitting in the front row,if the bus driver applies a sudden brake, the front rovers are bound to fly out thru the front wind shield, have you thought about it?

A S Mathew need not feel guilty about highlighting the name of Jesus Christ and his love and healing to many....Jesus even rebuked the pharisees of his time who were more legalistic and less humanist...i really doubt if any account opened with Christ through the strict legalist pentecostal doctrines will lead that person to the eternal life if he/she fails to show humane behaviour and love to his fellow brethren...jesus loves the humble hearted tax collector rather than the sels praising self righteous pharisee who followed all the strict rules and docrines....no wonder God has started using less legalist christians these days through his Holy Spirit to proclaim his love and Good News to the lost world ...much more than the so called self righteous doctrine following Pentecostals

Br.A.S, Why I interfere here is to state without reluctance that,Bible says every one born in the earth has to be/can be redeemed by Jesus Christ in the New Testament period.Then only he/she can have an account with Jesus Christ.All their good deeds can be added for heaven only through this account.That is the basic of the God's plan.There are so many personalities,among all religions and even those denying God,working sincerely for the society,for the poor and for the left out by the society.They are appreciated,rewarded and remembered in the world,even in statues . What we are discussing in this forum is about the true Christianity to correct the system.As such we have to insist in propagating the truth even though it may not be supported by the majority.It is well and good to appreciate Mother Thresa,Fr.Damien,Nelson Mondale , Mahatma Gandhi etc. etc.for their sacrifices for the target. But attaining the eternity with Jesus Christ is entirely different matter. .. Contd.2

cond:2 i had no reading habit while i was young but later on caught the habit of reading and the main line of books were the autobiographies of great christian saints. in that group father damian-francis of assisi- mother teresa etc were included, and their practical life of self-denial and suffering for the humanity inspired my life greatly. my father was the first doctor in our village and i started washing the wounds of people from the very early part of life, which gave me greater joy in life. we have a spiritual obligation to look after the needy in our own denominations, also people of other denominations and religious faith. at the day of judgement, the statement " whatever you have done to the least of my brethren have all done unto me", is that going to be only preaching and baptism?

I am very sad to see the fall of a god's child baptised by Pr. K.E. Abraham and had friendship with Pr. T.M Varghese. We are to be with Christian love to the people, irrespective of cast, creed or religion. But we are responsible to proclaim the true path of salvation to every one without reluctance. If the statement of Dr. Billy Graham, quoted by you about mother Theresa is true I can say Dr.Billy Graham is also ignorant about the need of salvation through Christ to enable a man/woman to enter in heaven. Sorry.

as an outside observer loving god's children of all denominations from the catholic all the way to the other side the pentecostals, i am simply bringing a suggestion. there are several names popping up to be the overseer of the church of god in india; and all of them are capable in different gifts like preaching, organization and missionary work etc. now, all the way from the grass root level of each local church, the election politics has started. last year i read that the coptic church of egypt, while electing their presiding bishop, there were 7 bishops for the post. they put the names and a young boy picked the name out of the rolled list of names and that bishop was elected as the presiding bishop.
instead of starting political fight, let these church of god candidates proposed by the believers may get together, pray very earnestly through fasting and select an overseer out of them in christian love through a secret ballet. less politics and wasting money but pleasing god.

BROTHER ROY, THIRUVALLA: It is terribly sad to to watch the splitting
spirit among the believers of the same denomination with the same doctrines and administration. When we ponder the cardinal and mysterious root cause behind this spirit is simply for vested interests, and the main focus is for leadership roles for us- somebody of our blood relationship or friendship. I do remember reading the news, 45 years back that one Pentecostal denominational believers marching in front of another mainline Pentecostal denomination boasting about their holiness in love, while the other denomination was faced with an internal conflict and high level friction towards the leadership. Is that march pleasing unto the Lord? The world communism was split on two basic difference. Mao believed through the barrel of a gun leftish) but the other group differ in that ideology, however only two. What about the Churches of three and four families by the dozen in each city of the same denomination?

Don't get upset about my previous comment. I think it is high time to merge all pentacostal churches and form one body. why we need different denominations.most of these churches have not enough qualified leaders. they are considering pastors from America.Why???
think about my suggestion.IPC is a well known name,easy to remember.let us take that name and go foreward.

BELIEVER: Good suggestion. Adopting many things from somewhere is a very dangerous idea. There are a lot of things which we can adopt from the U.S.A., but the U.S. made religious marketing trend and the great influence of business mentality in everything is not exactly scriptural. The blind holding onto traditions and the western religious evolutionary ideas must be put into strict testing before the word of GOD; if acceptable, then we adopt and follow them as divinely delegated.

roy thiruvalla, i don't think money is the most important factor. Their salary is not that great. I have a clear picture about their salary. In other churches there is no salary. But they have more politically oriented election than CofG.
When we look from outside it is great position. In reality it is a big head ache to solve all the issues among the churches and pastors. especially transfer. If you ask PJJ, he would say that he is not enjoying the position. But position is position and nobody wants to give up.

Pastor: Your comment is shedding light to an urgency which we are faced with now. What we see now in the once firebrand evangelical spirited denominations of the olden days, a radical change towards grabbing authority and material prosperity. Indeed the Catholic Church through their charismatic movement is doing far greater evangelization than many of the protestant Churches. King David loved GOD greatly and he was very glad to be a door keeper at the Temple of GOD. Do we have that humility in serving our GOD? If we ask the students of the Bible schools-Colleges and Seminary, the very high percentage of them are looking at the 'Pastoral" post. When they get involved with the Pastoral duties, they need to get a diploma in politics(in India), and the spirit of evangelism would be gone. JESUS's last commission was to "preach the gospel" or be evangelists; how many are interested to do that is the biggest challenge now!
