[Vision2020] A Caution
Calvinists Are Not Christians

It is an interesting list of the sins of some of the local ministers that
Giselle McCourt presents. However, she has failed to include the most
serious sin of all and one of which the most infamous Moscow pastor is
blasphemously guilty.
That sin is the sin of *Calvinism*, the most heretical and anti-God sin of
all.
Calvinism preaches the heretical doctrine of pre-destination, falsely lying
to the gullible and sin prone by stating that their actions will have no
effect on their eventual eternal salvation or damnation. Such a belief is
totally and blasphemously contradictory to the Words of Jesus Christ, Son of
God.
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then
he will sit on the throne of his glory. All the nations will be gathered
before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd
separates the sheep from the goats, and he will put the sheep at his right
hand and the goats at the left.
"Then the king will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, you that are
blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was
thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you
welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took
care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.'
Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you
hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And
when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave
you clothing?
And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?' And the
king will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the
least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.'
"Then he will say to those at his left hand, 'You that are accursed, depart
from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I
was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to
drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not
give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' Then they
also will answer, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a
stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?' Then
he will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of
the least of these, you did not do it to me. And these will go away into
eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." Matthew 25:31 –
46
Jesus makes it crystal clear in His Words above that good works only earn
eternal salvation. To preach otherwise is to deny willfully and
blasphemously the truth of the Words of Jesus Christ.
Calvinism is of those who contort the Words of Christ to condone and to
practice with monstrous relish and self-centered smugness great cruelty and
vengeance.
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes
you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you
and take your coat, give your cloak as well; and if anyone forces you to go
one mile, go also the second mile. Give to everyone who begs from you, and
do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you.
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate
your enemy.'
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so
that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise
on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the
unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do
not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your
brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the
Gentiles do the same?
"Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect". Matthew 5:38 -
48
Calvinism is of the ambitious, power and wealth-hungry that blasphemously
contort the Words of Christ to preach and to choose the self-loving,
self-centered, self-satisfying material life. The message of Calvinism also
preaches disunity from one's neighbors. All this too is willfully and
blasphemously contradictory to the truth of the Words of Jesus Christ.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust
consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves
do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Mathew 6:19 -21
"Then someone came to him and said, "Teacher, what good deed must I do to
have eternal life?" And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is
good? There is only one who is good.
"If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.
He said to him, "Which ones?"
And Jesus said, "You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You
shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and
mother; also, You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
"The young man said to him, "I have kept all these; what do I still lack?"
"Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions,
and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then
come, follow me."
"When the young man heard this word, he went away grieving, for he had many
possessions.
"Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a
rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier
for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich
to enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:16- 24
It should be obvious to anyone who reads the simple words of Christ as found
in Matthew, the first and primordial book of God's *New *Testament, that the
doctrine of Calvinism is a dead-end, blasphemous heresy. It should be clear
that those gullible and sin prone who chose to follow such a doctrine are
not Christians but of the wayward and pagans.
It should be absolutely clear that those charlatans and false prophets who
preach the doctrine of Calvinism for their own self-indulgent purposes, and
who thereby lead their gullible and sin prone flocks not to eternal
salvation but to eternal damnation will themselves suffer the worst ravages
of hell.
Thank You, Jesus. Amen.

*Dear Friends in Christ and Neighbors of Goodwill,*
This short message is addressed to those of you from other area churches who
attended the Launch Service of Real Life Ministries last Sunday and to those
that might like to attend further services in order to see if Real
Ministries could become the church of your choice.
There are certain pastors in this area who look upon their congregations as
their personal property. They covetously regard members of their
congregations as chattel to be used as they decree rather than as souls to
be lovingly guided into the arms of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and into the way
of righteousness, goodwill, and eternal salvation.
These unholy pastors often resort to dire and to unchristian measures to
either persuade or to force members to remain shackled in the ungodly,
grasping jaws of their spurious ministries. Hence, I repeat the following
from my first message (also appended). *(If you know any trapped and
struggling Christians caught in such circumstances, please, please help them
by forwarding this message.*
The choice you make of the Christian church to attend is a matter between
you and God, only. You do not need to ask or receive anyone's permission to
change Christian churches, nor do you owe anyone notice or an explanation if
you do. It is a decision between you and God alone. If your pastor or
members of your church attempt to coerce or to wheedle you in any way to
remain in the grasp of their church – persistent pressure, guilt, promises,
visits, telephone calls, threats, spying, extortive tactics, feigned
sweetness, feigned concern for your soul, etc, – you are not in a church
which preaches the True Teachings of The Lord Jesus Christ and who sincerely
loves The Lord Jesus Christ. If any of the above unchristian tactics has
been applied or is applied to you please let the good folks at Real Life
Ministries know:

************************************************************
Previous Message
*Dear Neighbors and Friends in Our Lord Jesus Christ,*
*Please pass this message on to anyone it might benefit.*
*Regardless of the church you now attend*, for the sake of your own eternal
salvation in Our Lord Jesus Christ, please take some time to consider very
carefully in your heart of hearts the following questions.
Does your pastor unite the community or does your pastor divide it?
Does your pastor respect everyone equally or does your pastor have favorites
amongst your congregation?
Does your pastor disdain or ignore the worth of any or many of God's
children?
Does your pastor display way too much self-love?
Is your pastor much too fond of rich foods, fine wines, and other voluptuary
pleasures?
Is your pastor ever vindictive, spiteful, punitive, or dishonest especially
towards those with whom your pastor disagrees or those who have chosen in
God's name to leave the clutches of his ministry?
Would you trust your pastor with your purse? With your real estate
agent? With
your wife?
Does your pastor hold wacko ideas like the antebellum slaves were a happy
lot and lived in wonderful harmony with their masters?
At your pastor's rigid insistence is your church music full of dark,
chilling, mournful words and music rather than raising a "Joyful noise unto
the Lord" as commanded by the bible? Psalms 100
Has your pastor engineered the purchase land for a new church that is not
only too small for a church and cemetery, but even too small for a
moderately sized church? Did your pastor pay about twice the market value
for the land? Is that land now known as "------'s Folly?"
Does your pastor demand, coerce, or wheedle so much tithe that it hurts your
ability to give what they need and they deserve to your family and
community? Have you been asked to sacrifice heavily and to tithe in God's
name so that your pastor can pursue his ambitious, mostly personal goals?
Does your pastor's money management problems and love of his pet projects
that serve him more than God often lead to calls for further tithing and
sacrifices? Does your pastor try to con and to manipulate you by
insinuating that the amount of your tithe is directly proportional to your
love of Our Lord Jesus Christ, champion of the poor? Matthew 19:16 - 30,
Matthew 25:31 - 46
Does your pastor pack the various parts of his ministry's payroll with
overpaid relatives and kowtowing friends and their relatives, thus putting
even more stress on church finances and leading to further demands for
tithes?
Does your pastor look at new members more as a source of tithes and straw
and mud with which to build his empire, rather than as souls to guide into
the loving arms of Our Lord Jesus Christ?
Does your church have a hidden missing funds problem? If so, is it possible
that some of those funds have disappeared into off-shore accounts of which
your pastor is the sole signatory?
Does your pastor flout the civil law? Romans 13:1 – 7
Does your pastor ever direct members of your church to perform illegal or
sinful activities or to ignore illegal or sinful activities done by church
members?
Does your pastor ever practice flagrant dishonesty in the name of The Lord
or in claiming to do the work of The Lord? Is this something Jesus would
do?
Are your pastor's theological views so far out that were recently rejected
by over 96% of a very large body of his fellow Reformed Disciples that
carefully examined them?
When vehemently defending his version of The Word of God as the only
"correct one," does your pastor sometimes appear to be mentally disturbed?
Is your pastor more interested in enriching himself and his family then your
pastor is in exhibiting himself as shining, living example of the Life and
Teachings of Jesus Christ, especially doing this by showing agape towards
all, showing humility, showing disdain for wealth and its trappings, and
showing great concern and charity for all the poor and unfortunate? Matthew
19:16 - 30
Does your pastor have a double standard when it comes to adultery? When it
comes to rape and adultery in church schools?
Has your pastor encouraged divorces when it would benefit him in a very
personal way, or encouraged divorces with unchristian vindictiveness to
inflict great pain and sorrow upon certain critics of his actions and
claimed beliefs?
Does your pastor ever appear to place himself on an equal footing or above
God?
Does your pastor place himself as a barrier between you and God? Does your
pastor blasphemously style himself/herself as a necessary conduit between
you and God?
Does your pastor blame others for his shortcomings?
After having made a serious mistake in judgment does your pastor own up to
it, or does your pastor sometimes claim he/she has a secret plan and the
congregation must "trust" him/her that eventually all will be right?
Does your pastor keep important church information secret from not only the
congregation, but from some of the elders and deacons too?
Does your pastor unchristianly operate your church like a secret society in
the community rather than like the open arms of Our Lord Jesus Christ?
Has your pastor imported child molesters into the community? If so, is it
possible that your pastor knew something of their particular sinful
proclivities beforehand, but imported them anyway?
Has your pastor written a letter supporting leniency for a convicted child
molester, one who did dreadful, despicable things to many different
children, who attended one of the ministry's schools, and one who defiled
the children of the church family with whom he boarded? If so, was that
letter hypocritically contrary to your pastor's past preaching, and most
important, blasphemously contrary to the requirements of The Word of God?
Does your business or relationships with your neighbors suffer because your
pastor has – with his outré views, unchristian actions, and harsh, in your
face, unchristian polemics – caused many of the community to shun your
business or avoid yourself and your family?
Does your pastor use divisive tactics and polemics to persuade you from
listening to the words of your neighbors and dividing you from them?
Does the majority of your community regard your pastor as a crook, clown, or
perhaps even an anti-Christ?
Does your pastor ever bring to mind the following passage from Matthew 7:15
- 20?
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but
inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16 You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or
figs from thistles?
17 In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears
bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the
fire.
20 Thus you will know them by their fruits.
Does your pastor make up insulting, abusive names for those that question
his bizarre views and actions? Does your pastor belittle his critics and
assassinate their characters or take other vindictive, punitive measures
rather than act like Our Loving Lord Jesus would? Matthew 5:38 - 48
Does your pastor attempt to coerce and to wheedle your continuing church
membership rather than trust in your faith in God and God-given conscience
to guide you to make the right choice of church to attend?***
*Does any answer to any of the above questions about your pastor trouble
you?* Does any answer trouble you especially considered in the light of the
Teachings of The Lord Jesus Christ and your God-given conscience? If so,
then perhaps it is time for the sake of your immortal soul to consider
moving to a true church of Our Lord Jesus Christ in God, and away from a
church that will only lead you away from the path of righteousness,
goodwill, and eternal salvation.
*Great news!* The fastest growing church in America, *Real Life Ministries*,
is coming to Latah County.
