cog tradition (April 27, 2012)
There is a long tradition in COG. Starting with Cook Sayippu many of the pastors and leaders who have worked faithfully and sacrificially were always ignored and never appreciated and thrown out of COG. However, somehow all the crooks, back biters, legalistic, pharisees, master liars, looters, blade mafia, gundas, fake writers and fake holiness group(this group always writes about vishudhi, verpadu, biblical& 1st century church, corruption, immorality etc etc) and then behind the scenes they are busy writing oomma kathu, kuthu prasangam, gathering and assembling people against pastors, verbally and emotionally abusing pastors and believers, making and treating pastors like a servant, never spending money, time or effort for the church, but always on the criticizing mode acting as Gods right hand and fully holy, when they are devils tools. They have strong words to fool poor believers from any pulpit. I can boldly write their names of BJ will publish my comment.

over-smart (July 14, 2011)
thammil bhedam thommanaaa. although pas kunjappy is not an accredited and blameless leader; there does not seem to be a better alternative as all the so-called alternative leaders being discussed/suggested in this forum r nothing but frauds & 'murimookkan raajakkanmaar'. the basic principles in the appointment of the os should be that apostle paul set forth in the epistles of titus and timothy. let there be a panel prepared out the best from the available in terms of ability, spirituality, leadership quality and above all blameless of any kind of scandals. opinion of each local congregation should be sought through sincere secret ballot or open ballot in deriving the panel. further screening and test should be done to arrive at the best choice. it is also not a bad idea to give a probation period of few months for the os to prove his qualities to become the confirmed overseer. if he does not perform well in accordance with the set principles, he should be avoided. thank you. :)

rajnikant (April 13, 2011)
Well spoken pastor j k. The man has thick skin. He will not step down, and he trying his best to keep his clout as being Overseer. I am remindes of some of the famous quotes:
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"

"Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it"

+3
pastor j k (April 13, 2011)
After Pr. Kunjappy came to power lot of unspiritual person both brothers and pastors became leaders of defferent departments and council memebers. The only qualification they have is money.

a believer (April 12, 2011)
cog pastor,regarding pr. p.r baby , he was a pastor standing strictly for the pure pentecostal doctrines till he was influenced by sr. angelica. cog accepting pr. p.r baby means the visions and teachings of sr. angelica is accepted by c o g. we require a clarity in this subject from the leadership. we must have a clear vision in what we believe.the unity in faith stands on the written word of god spread all over the world.if new visions and teachings not parallel to the scripture is accepted here and there, will there be any unity in faith?
+3
pastor t (April 12, 2011)
there is some people in the leadership they are useless such as, thomas pulivelil, vinod jacobe, a t joseph, they paid lots of money to pastor to win the last council election. people like t a george who has no testimony need to be avoided from all the leadership roles. same goes to c p varghese, abraham philipose (who had the guts to stand on the stage and telling all the world the current overseer is not educated), abraham m thomas (who is a weel polition) cg samkutty, who is using church for the business purpose. this need to be stopped and they need to be baptized again (may be hold under the water for 5 minutes).
+3
pastor z (April 12, 2011)
so far i don’t understand why some of the people in the forum scared of an election from all the pastors. i seen so many commands trying to support the current overseer and trying to put down other people. please know that all these people are good and may be capable of running the show. we only asking let the general body of the pastors elect the overseer. i don’t know which part of this you don’t understand.
+3
cog pastor (April 12, 2011)
Pastor y and Z why we worry about Pjj or pcc or kcj or pav or vci, We just challenge you to do the overseer election must be democratic. At least all pastors must have right for vote to elect overseer. Then a good person can be elected. Becz most of the cgi pastors are spiritual. The spiritual person can never be an council member at present situation.

We onnly saying dont do elect from the so called Council members who are useless and machaens
+3
pastor y (April 12, 2011)
A pastor says that all council members are politicians. TheNo.1 Politician in COG is P.J. J
+3
pr. rajive (April 12, 2011)
Pr. P. J. J never published the expence of Bible college building. But Pr. Kunjappy published allincomes and expences of church of God. former overseers never did this. I am sure that 90% of pastors are with Pr. Kunjappy.
+3
cog pastor (April 12, 2011)
pastor agree with your comment but i think you are absolutely wrong about the council secretary. i don’t believe he is spiritual at all, if you look back the friction. any way my point is that, if you preach about wearing ornaments are wrong, you should not attend pr. p r baby’s church and not only attend dont serve communion in his church. the present overseer does that. also pr. p r baby is a new generation faith believer. he and all who support this need to be removed from the church.
+3
pastor x (April 12, 2011)
hai pastor, what u said is absolutely right. We need to fight for the rigt for vote to elect an overseer. Counsil members are useless.
+3
pastor (April 12, 2011)
all of the present counsil members are politicians except counsil secretary. If they get position, good churches etc. they will permit anybody to be an overseer, even devil. So the overseer election must be democratic. At least all pastors must have right for vot to elect overseer. Then a good person can be elected. Becz most of the cgi pastors are spiritual. The spiritual person can never be an counsil member at present situation.
+3
rajanikant (April 11, 2011)
I am just amazed at the kind of appreciation that you have showered upon Pr Kunjappy. He must have influenced the brains of lot of folks in the forum. Maybe a kickback/bribe etc to write some goody words here.
My opinion is he is tarnishing the name of COG. He need to step down immediately and the council should find someone who is fair and just. Why ask the corrupt to run the show? And by the way what does he know other than beg for money? And how many trips has be made to Foreign countries in his tenure as Overseer?
+3
joseph (April 3, 2011)
It seems to have become quite characteristic of Kerala Pentecostal preachers and even writers to make hyperbolic statements. For instance, Dr. Jaison Thomas, in his article appeared in Believers Journal (March 2011, Vol. 04, Issue: 05) has called Dr. Roger Hedlund a world famous missiologists. I find it a bit of an exaggeration to call Dr. Hedlund as such. This is not, in any way, to undermine the significant contribution of Dr. Hedlund to missiology. He is certainly one of the important missiologists in India. But it doesn’t mean that he could be ranked among the world renowned missiologists like Gustav Warneck, Lesslie Newbigin, David Bosch, Johannes Verkuyl, Andrew Walls, and others. These are very distinguished missiologists who have exerted great influence on missiological thought worldwide. Despite his significance as a missiologist, Dr. Hedlund cannot be called world famous. Pentecostal writers need to be more objective in their writings and analysis.

dr. theyilakadan,@agood child of god (April 2, 2011)
What you said is absolutely correct. Now a days among pentacostal I found everybody is interested in pointing fingerss on others specialyy real child of God.. Nobody is there to say a good word about faithful leaders like Rev. M. Kunjappy. Satan is favouring to those who are saying bad about Gods servants. CGI need leaders like Rev. Kunjappy.God is Good.He will protect His Servants.
+3
a child of god (April 1, 2011)
i know rev. m kunjappy personally and he is a holy man. nobody has mentioned any immoral thing against him. we give priority to "holiness", when we look for leadership. he may be rich. there are many rich church leaders. he is no where near to some of the ipc leaders. why people focus on him only? is it because he came up with so many good projects? he is doing great things for cgi. let him be the leader as long as god has plan about him. also cgi has many good, morally sound leaders. please don't ask to show some leaders and all. almost all indians especially keralites are good leaders (at least they think so). so please avoid making unwanted comments about church of god leadership. please, please, please.. god bless you all.

Mathai Doctor, Your desire is too much. You want a promotion from Sunday school "professor" to State Overseer. You need to go step by step. Also if you have too much money, spend for some good cause. How you became rich? We want to learn the magic from you.

kunjachan (March 29, 2011)
People are proud of their Church organization and claim 'our church' is the biggest and holy.But scripture says there is only one church , the body of Christ and the only leader is Jesus Christ. All church organization in the world can have only one role, the role of a training camp.Those who are trained strictly according to the only syllabus (The written Word of God) will be accommodated in the real Church. Try for that than being proud of the size of organization and its leader which is immaterial to achieve the real goal( Eternity with Jesus). Competition in and between the organizations-claiming those of born again, baptized- defends people from salvation and they feel shelter in the worldly denominational churches in which they are born.Real believer , please be serious about the situation.

nallavan (March 29, 2011)
Dear Mathai usa, Good that you are ready to pay all your money. You should become overseer. We will support. But it is much easier to become ipc president with your "qualifications". I know a normal guy from usa, became ipc State president by paying few lakhs of rupees every month surpassing the ~30 years vice-president. Also many becoming central pastors in India residing in US. You have a better chance there. Otherwise you are wasting your time in cgi.

mathai,usa (March 29, 2011)
why nobody is responding my willingness to work for cgi as overseer. i can pay to those who are supporting me. i need only possition. i have enough money. i am willilng to pay anybody supports me.any meedia helps me i can pay good amount for that.each cgi pastor i will pay 1000.00 rs monthly if you support me.i can work only 2 years.then somebody can takeover.

Anyway you guys will not get any chance to choose cog overseer."Jesus turning unto them said Daughters of jerusalem, weep not for me , but weep for yourselves and your children."So weep for the denominations where you are, especially ipc cry for your president.

i believe we have number of good people who has leadership quality. the only thing we need to follow the minutes of the international assembly. he must receive a minimum of a two-thirds majority of the vote of the exoter/licence/ordained ministers in his state. if pr. kunjappy gets that let him lead the church, if pr p j james / eappen cherian / m o elias / joe kurian / bennision mathai or someone else, (hope not pr. p g mathews, he sleeps on the stage which is bad for us).
so let us pray for the church of god council and leadership to get a vision for to call an election and ask the ministers to vote on.

a.s.mathew (March 27, 2011)
I am writing this comment with certain reservations. I know many of the Kerala Pentecostal leaders, but none oft hem personally as close friends. There was friction among the disciples; who is going to be the leader. The Naxalite brand Peter (he formerly belonged to the radical Zealot group) was laying the strategic foundation to be the absolute leader of the disciples. But, Jesus showed an example of " washing their feet " as the ideal and spiritual route to reach the zenith of leadership. Now, leaderships are attained through body size, degrees (some of them are worthless) family status and wealth etc. Nobody wants to be a disciple, but aiming at the head post.

bj and its supporters are bent upon bringing cgi in to the market place and to disgrace it. dear brothers in bj, we the cgi people are matured enough to look after our household. if we cannot, we will invite u. why don't u mind ur church's business. it is not in order. office seals are missing!! and secretaries and presidents are in court. your denominational people are masters of the art called "kalakkavellathil meen pidikkuka".you and ur sister publications will be overwhelmed with joy if something goes wrong with cgi. on the contrary, i remember having observed as a teen ager, the cgi leaders tried their level best to pacify and unite the factions (kumbanadu,kottayam,pathanapuram,hebron & elim)during ur bad days back in 1950s.do u think the so called appostles and freedom fighters have set good example for the generations to follow.kindly take survey of ur church members whether they are happy with their president and other leaders whom they have elected. leave us alone.

@ Abraham Thomas: "shibu and Shaji" are close names you know, anybody with some sense would easily understand that I might have made a mistake on that! But right now, 'what you trying to do is', you are trying to "distort_facts" like a clever politician, who look into the eyes and lie at the people!!!!!

you are write apologetics council, pastor kunjappy didn't build any building yet. he is racing money and start building called office complan. her is the story, one building that is with a conference hall is not build by pr. kunjappy. it is built by bible college. another build just inaugurated was built by ywea for bible college. pr. kujappy was not even aware of this approval the funding and who did work to get this building approved. for the approval the submitted plan was totally different and approved fund was about 60+lakah rs. if you would properly build the building you could have been build two of the same building. check with k c john. so once the office complan is finish this will be the first building is finished by pr. kunjappy

@ Apologetics Council: There is a proverb in malayalam- "Vellutthachhi enthu cheyithaalum kuttam, karutthachhi cheyyunnathu aarum sradhikkareeyilla" ethaannu evidee nadakkunnathee_ Pastor Kunjappy is from a wealthy background, so that creates a suspicion among the so called unfortunate brother's_ that he is using his money for his advantage_ this is the truth!How many do we know came to full time gospel work with their own money!In most cases the fact is otherwise, then the preaching, its God's Blessing!My opinion is that nobody has the right to see Pastor Kunjappy's or his son Shaji's bank statement, those are their private money!Anyone asking to see anybody else's private money should be ashamed of themselves!The Personal wealth/money needs no accountability to the public as it is a private affair, while the same that belongs to a Church or Organization is a public affair and thereby needs accountability!!!!!!

He is trying to be more practical for the goodness and well being of the church.

There is strngth and weakness in any leaders. There is some goodness in pr. kunjappy and evilness too. His main focus is to make some buildings. So he try to get money. For that he please all rich people and automatically he is controlled by the rich. Whatever they say he will do. The outcome is that the church of god will be in the hands of a few money makers and buisness people. Then church of god will be kallanmarude guha. Dont think that there is no able leaders in church of god. There are educated, spiritual, capable pastors in church of god. But othukkum. But one thing is sure, whoever become overseer, there will not be spiritual growth in church of god. Allayenkil panatthinu meethe parakkan kazhivulla parunth church of godil valarnnu varanam. So all church of god members must earnestly pray for such a anointed leader. Pr. Kunjappy must be replaced by such parunth.

Is CoG the only church with issues? Journalism is different from this. Are you willing to do this type of "comments" for other organizations also?

Do any of you know what is the official policy to elect the Overseer in Church of God. If you don’t know it is not elected from Council, he should be elected by the Pastors General body. If Church of God Leadership can do this and whoever wins from the General Body let them take the charge of the office. I request stop electing from the Council. This is a backdoor for to sneak in to the position. The above noted item is taken from the Church of God minutes.

i think pastor m. kunjappy in " a need of the hour " for church of god. i am yet to come across somebody who can replace pastor m. kunjappy. some may dislike him, because he is so firm in certain matters. i have to appreciate him in his efforts and determination about building up a church headquaters. i read somebody quoting him to k. karunakaran and there are people who dislike him also for his firmness on certain issues, but if you go to k. karunakaran with a problem he will solve them. his son mr. muralitharan was my classmate at mar ivanios college, tvm, i know them. there was a time when congress party only had six members in the legislature, at a time when he had a dispute with mr a.k.antony, its learned that mr. karunakaran told mr antony that " moone nee 'nikkarr' ettodu nadakkumbol, njan aarru perrumaayye evedde erikkayayirunnu". what i mean to say is that, he built up congress party in kerala. pastor kunjappy and karunnakaran are similar personnalities, we need them !

kunjachan (March 21, 2011)
The decision to display the names of donors of above Rs. 50000/- to office complex fund, on the complex walls itself shows the quality of the existing overseer and the council. They are opening door to breach Mathew,ch.6 v.1-3. Spirituality counts by wealth status is not Biblical.This technique was introduced by Catholic church before years to collect funds. But even they are not doing it now.

My opinion- from the present Kerala DP's, Pr Thomas George(ex youth Director).

john usa (March 20, 2011)
I am absolutely flabbergasted by the previous opinion of my dear brother. Church of God under the leadership of M. Kunjappy is doing much better than the previous two leaderships we had. The leadership change is not an absolute necessity. It may be considered as a viable option provided we can substitute with a better candidate who can take COG to a higher plataue. Under the leadership of Kunjappy there was total financial accountability, which the previous two administrators have not demonstrated. There will be other persons to step in and take the leadership role. God will always be with the church

a change in the leadership is absolutey necessary to bring back the spiritual image of the organisation. the current leadership is a failure in respect to maintain the doctrinal discpline as well as spiritual quality. the policy of the present leadership is that "you are right if you pay money for the activities of the church"
but the saddes thing is that there is no suitable aswell as capabale candidates in kerala state church of god. the only desrving candidate is in myopinion is pr. p j james. all thers are worst than pr. kunjappy. on the other hand pasor kunjappy is k karunakarn in church of god. his only dream now is not the ministry but the coronation of hi son shaji on the throe? of overeer.
