  • How did you hear that?

    • Posted Oct 8, 2003 7:44 PM

      Hello Brent. I am not sure how you heard that. It appears to me that John 16:13(quoted above) clearly indicates that the Spirit DOES teach (all truth) and I do not read anything about Him being limited to Biblical topics. So, to answer your question, I believe the Spirit most definately may remind me of something I have read in the Bible but he is equally capable of reminding me of other things I have read, or said or done or seen etc... or even of things yet to come(again in John 16:13) that is,leading me into all truth.

      The Spirit is able to speak on topics completely not found in scripture without violating any principles in scripture. Do you see that? An analogy may be helpful. You and I are having a discussion over the internet. To this point we have mentioned nothing about US law indicating what is legal or illegal in regards to the internet. However we have not violated any principles found in the US law. So we have not been acting "apart" from US law yet we have not been talking about it. In a similar manner the Spirit may communicate with us on specific topics that cannot be found in chapter and verse yet He will not violate a principle found in chapter and verse.

      Many "Bible based" believer's reject the idea of God's current, real time communication because they feel it would compete or lessen the authority of the Bible. The irony of this "Bible based" belief is that it is not in the Bible.

    ...........................THE BOOK

    What Happened At the Madison Church of Christ?


    There are thousands of churches being taken over across America.

    This book is only about one of those churches. It's about the Madison Church Of Christ. By studying the methods used here along with the resource references you might be able to inoculate your church. At the very least you will recognize the signs early on.

    Many of the current members of the Madison Church of Christ still don't know what happened.
    Some never will know! This book is for them as well.

    Madison Church of Christ was a 60 year old church. At one time it was one of the largest churches in the US, and the largest Church of Christ.

    It thrived for many years on the vision of it's elders and those of it's ministers. Those visions undoubtably came from the the inspired word of Jesus Christ.

    At sometime in the last 10 years there was a deliberate plan by a majority of the elders to take the Madison Church of Christ into a more worldly realm.

    They used secrecy, covert planning, and outside sources to scheme and to change the format and direction of the Madison Church of Christ.

    The Elders knew that the membership would never approve such a plan. Using the tools of the "Community Church Movement"(consultants, books, seminars, meetings,planters,seeders) they slowly started initiating change so it was never noticed by the members until it was too late.....

    At the heart of the plan was the fact that old members were going to be driven off so new techniques could be used to go out and reach the unchurched through new "Contemporary Holy Entertainment" methods developed by the "Community Church Movement"

    Old members had to be kept on board long enough to get their plans ready, or the funds would not be there to pay for the new building. So by the plans very nature, it had to be secret.

    The church had no plan in effect to renew or approve elders. There was never any need. The elders had always been "as approved by God". 10 of the last 15 elders would begin to shed some doubt on that.

    The Elders did not even need a majority at first, because some of the elders went along unwittingly.

    This edition starts shortly after some of the members begin to smell something strange in January 2001. Later editions may go back and fill in some of the timeline.

    To even start to understand whats happening here, you must read the background materials in the first of the book.

    This is only the first edition, and not the end. New editions will be printed as needed. To keep abreast of current changes, please visit our web site; http://www.concernedmembers.com/madison

    Here is the list of players;

    5 Godly Elders
    10 Not so Godly Elders
    120 "Deacons" (allegiance unknown)
    2,800 - 4,000 church "members"
    2 "teners" (people who have publicly confessed to have broken all ten commandments)
    Unknown number of "sinners" (This is what the 10 elders call us.)
    Unknown number of "demons" (Flying everywhere, to many to count)
