How convenient. <br /><br />Whole extended family are pastors of this and that function. The senior pastor has been absent for a while now with no explanation. Is he facing his own demons of addiction. Many (countless) employees are now former since the addition of Jon Daniel. <br /><br />Never any financials given to the congregation and they have many due to members who invested in the church almost 5 years ago.<br /><br />Does anyone have insight to the truth because I have never been able to find the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-44639740695549424632015-01-06T23:09:06.215+00:002015-01-06T23:09:06.215+00:00Living hope pastor makes in access of $250,000 per...Living hope pastor makes in access of $250,000 per year ,hired JD april of 2014.

After several months she told me that I would have to join her church and accept only Jesus as my father. I realized she had been brainwashed and we split up. At that point I was a lapsed Christian with no particular view on religion but I evolved into strong atheism because of it. She was angry and unpleasant because I would not abandon my parents, family and financial security for the insanity of NCMI as she had done. <br /><br />All religion is a cult. There is no god. Arguing the difference between religions is like arguing the difference between star wars and star trek.

If you do away with ....with the pointing finger and malicious talk.<br /><br />Rev 12:9 "the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan....the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."<br /><br />Eph 4:1-6 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 BE COMPLETELY HUMBLE AND GENTLE, BE PATIENT, BEARING WITH ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE. MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO KEEP THE UNITY OF THE SPIRIT IN THE BOND OF PEACE. 4 There is one body and one Spirit— just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.<br /><br /> <br />Rom 15:5-9 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, 6 so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 ACCEPT ONE ANOTHER< THEN, JUST AS CHRIST HAS ACCEPTED YOU, in order to bring praise to God. <br /><br />In what way are you accepting others in the same way that Christ accepted you in your actions toward people in NCMI or NCMI churches? <br /><br />James 4:11-12 11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you — who are you to judge your neighbor? <br /><br /> <br />There is a lot here. But it is necessary to feel the full weight of Scripture in this matter. These are not small off in the corner commandments of Jesus. When you consider that to reject these passages and to refuse to walk in them is, as 1 John says, to reject Christ, to walk contrary to Christ, to walk in the spirit of this world, and even to function in a spirit that is anti-Christ, it sheds light on the fact that it is a “log’ that is in your own eye as you are trying to expose the “mote” in someone else’s eye.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-53862545741089289552014-10-07T22:47:59.792+00:002014-10-07T22:47:59.792+00:00....continued...
John 4:16-18 "God is love. W.......continued...<br />John 4:16-18 "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 17 In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, BECAUSE IN THIS WORLD WE ARE LIKE HIM." <br /><br />How is God's love complete among us? By being like God in this world. By loving like God does in this world. In what way? By loving the way He loves. How does He love? By forgiving our sins.<br /><br />1 John 4:20-21 "If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother."<br /><br /><br />But what if you do not speak what God speaks or love the way God loves or forgive the way God forgives? What if you are not like God in this world? Then you are not speaking from God, or acting from God. You are acting contrary to God and contrary to Christ. Christ forgives, you don't forgive. Christ loves and forgives and covers sin and remembers it no more. And you do not love the way He loves, rather against Christ and the Spirit of God you keep record of wrong do not forgive. You are not operating in the Spirit of Christ or speaking for Christ, you are operating in a Spirit that is the opposite of Christ and anti-Christ. <br /><br />This is a very scary place to be. Not only disobeying Christ, but speaking and doing the opposite of Christ. <br /> <br />Ok then, what if the person really is an enemy of God and an enemy of ours? Surely we are justified in our judging and condemning speech and actions against them!! <br /><br />Matt 5:43-44 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' <br />Luke 6:28-36 27 28 BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU, PRAY FOR THOSE WHO MISTREAT YOU. 29 If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you. 32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. 35 BUT LOVFE YOUR ENEMIES AND DO GOOD TO THEM and lend to them not expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, AND YOU WILL BE THE SONS OF THE MOST HIGH BECAUSE HE IS KIND TO THE UNGRATEFUL AND THE WICKED. 36 BE MERCIFUL JUST AS YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS MERCIFUL." <br /><br />Where in your words of accusation and condemnation toward those you being like your Father in Heaven and doing good to them you felt mistreated you. In what way are you being like your Father in heaven?<br /><br />Just a few more verses that God calls us to walk like Christ in:<br /><br />Col 3:12-14 12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 BEAR WITH EACH OTHER AND FORGIVE WHATEVER GRIEVANCES YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST ONE ANOTHER. FORGIVE IN THE SAME WAY THE LORD FORGAVE YOU. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. <br /><br />Are you full of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience toward those in NCMI or NCMI churches <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-9246673823277954202014-10-07T22:46:42.261+00:002014-10-07T22:46:42.261+00:00...continued...
And here you are condemning those ......continued...<br />And here you are condemning those who believe in Jesus, calling them unrighteous, rather than forgiving their transgressions, you condemn them for what you believe is their transgression, rather than covering their sin, you uncover what you believe to be their sin, and rather than loving and forgiving like Jesus, who does not hold their sin against them, you hold what you perceive to be their sin against them. And then you set yourselves up as being so godly and so righteous as to judge and condemning others. <br /><br />You profess to be followers of Christ and of God, then your words and actions toward other believers, who are your brothers and Jesus brothers, the Bride of Christ whose robes have been washed by the blood of the lamb, and you your heart and your words are not the heart of Christ, should be the words of Christ, the ways or Christ, and the work of Christ. Rather, your words and actions are exactly the opposite. You speak the words and do the works of of the accuser of the Brethren. <br /><br />Listen to how John describes the Spirit of Anti-Christ in 1 John 4:<br /><br />1 John 4:1-3 "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but EVERY SPIRIT THAT DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE JESUS IS NOT FROM GOD. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world."<br /> <br />Consider what a false prophet and a spirit that is not from God does: A spirit that is A false prophet, does not acknowledge JESUS, and according to the next verse, rather than speaking God's word or God's perspective, the spirit that is not from God and a false prophet, speaks man's perspective and speaks the viewpoint of the world.)<br /> <br />1 John 4:5-12 5 "THEY ARE FROM THE WORLD (how do you tell?) THEREFORE THEY SPEAK FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF THE WORLD, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and WHOEVER KNOWS GOD listens to us; but WHOEVER IS NOT FROM GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO US. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood." <br /><br />The Spirit that is from God speaks and does the truth that is from God, the spirit of falsehood does not speak or do the truth that is from God. NOTICE IN THE VERY NEXT VERSE what the truth that is from God is. <br /><br />I JOHN 4:7-8 "Dear friends, let us love one another, FOR LOVE COMES FROM GOD. EVERYONE WHO LOVES IS BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD.. 8 WHOEVER DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD, BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE. (now notice verse 9: It clearly says how God shows his love. Those who know God will show God's love by loving in exactly the same way God does)<br /><br />I John 4:9,10 "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." <br /><br />(Did you get that? God's love is demonstrated by atoning for sin. God's love is shown in forgiveness of sins!! Speaking this about others and walking in this way is what it means to be of God. To not speak or be this way toward others is to be of this world and to walk in the Spirit of falsehood) <br />1 John 4:11,12 "Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us."<br /><br />DID YOU GET THAT!! Why should we love one another? Since God loved us and demonstrated it by atoning for our sin and forgiving us, we ought to love others exactly the same way that God does - by forgiving their sins?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-22698337954848235812014-10-07T22:44:21.942+00:002014-10-07T22:44:21.942+00:00A few thoughts about the offences, and the long re...A few thoughts about the offences, and the long record of wrongs that people have listed here against NCMI or NCMI churches. What amazes me is that people can make the accusations and judgments they do and feel they are so just and right and holy in making them, and even think that they are being godly and Christ-like. They present themselves as followers of Christ and people of the Word when in fact they reject the both Christ and His Word. <br /><br />God Speaks His will regarding these things clearly in His Word, but I don't have a high expectation that those who have willingly chosen to reject the very clear Word of God and to walk under the control of with the accuser of the brethren, and to live in the strongholds of division, offences, and unforgiveness, will even hear God Himself through His Word.<br /><br />What does God say about obeying Christ and the Word of God?<br /><br />Jesus said, "why do you call me Lord Lord and do not do the things that I say"<br /><br />John 14:23-24 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. <br /><br />James 1:23-27 "Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it — he will be blessed in what he does. 26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. <br /><br />What does God call every believer to do and to not do in His Word?<br /><br />John 13:34-35 34 "A new command I give you: LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." <br /><br /><br />What is the love of God like, and what does it mean to love others the way God love us?<br /><br />1 Cor 13:4-6 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS. <br /><br />Hmmmm love keeps no record of wrongs? If God's love "keeps no record of wrong", then are those who keep and list records of wrong walking in God's love toward their brothers who's lists of wrong they are keeping? God says that those who do not love their brother do not love God.<br /><br />How does Jesus forgive us and what does he do with our sin?<br /><br />Ps 103:12 "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us."<br /><br />Rom 4:5-8 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: 7 "BLESSED ARE THEY WHOSE TRANSGRESSIONS ARE FORGIVEN, WHOSE SINS ARE COVERED. 8 BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NEVER COUNT AGAINST HIM"<br /><br />Heb 8:12 "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." <br /><br />"Love keeps no record of wrong" Love "remembers sin no more".Love "forgives their wickedness" <br /><br />Here Jesus is justifying the WICKED, crediting them as Righteous, forgiving their transgressions, covering their sin and never counting their sin against them. <br /><br />Eph 1:7 7 "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace" cont.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-18322020041229441312014-07-08T15:04:25.689+00:002014-07-08T15:04:25.689+00:00Well, after 5 years of serving in a NCMI church I ...Well, after 5 years of serving in a NCMI church I call it 'Never COmmit Myself Idiot' I have been kicked out.<br /><br />This NCMI church is the FONTEIN in Coevorden (Netherlands) <br /><br />First respons to a disagreement, it is unbiblical, the second they say, you are hurt, but if you insist in your disagreement, they consider you as a thread to unity, a tool of the devil, and you harrash Jesus Christ himself!<br /><br />I have noticed the do not deal with the argument itself. They are not interested in your argument, they just ignore you. If you adresses these issues loader (the theme was openness) they excommunicate you with a mail and put people at the front door, so you cannot visit the sermon.<br /><br />I found de elders stuborn and not teachable. I called other apostle to get mediation. They told me to go on with my life, because the elders are done with me.<br /><br />In my opion Gijs Peter Kuijpers and Alex Zaal treath people not right. This is not good. Even my children were not allowed to visit the last evening of the teenage bible study to see goodbye to their friends.<br /><br />That is the love of Christ I experienced in the Fontein. Kicked out, nomatter the social connections you have in that church.<br /><br />I made a website http://www.fontein-coevorden.nl to adress a warning, because it is a cult. I believe every NCMI church is controlling and manipulating and it is only about money and real estate. Not about Jesus. Like someone else stated here...

It is the most healthy, well balanced church I have attended in my 20 years as a born-again Christian. I have been a member of most denominational churches along the way as well as bible churches, AOG, Calvary Chapel, you name it. I have been in leadership in several of these churches. What I appreciate most is the blend of the Spirit and the Word in my curent church. Never an over-reliance on one versus the other. I have had an opportunity to meet Tyrone Daniel, and while he may have some of that South African swagger, he is a genuine lover of Jesus who has impressed me a great deal. I have met a number of their trans-local apostolic team members and have found them all to be down to earth, lovers of God, servants of man.<br /><br />To the person who posted about staged Slayings in the Spirit and all the nonsense that was purported to go along with it, trust me, we have NEVER had anything silly or out of control like that happen. Our elders are ever saw anything like that in my church, trust me, <br /><br />It is important to remember that each local church that "relates" to NCMI is independent and thus, can be very different from one another. There may indeed be some that are controlling, or have some of the other issues noted in this blog, but I can tell you, NCMI itself is NOT a cult, it is not controlling, but IS an excellent covering over the local church - as long as the local church receives that covering as biblically intended.<br /><br />For those of you who have been hurt in local churches that related to NCMI over the years, I am both saddened and shocked at your experiences, mine is 180 degrees in the other direction. I would submit that you need healing! I suggest that you read John Bevere's book, "The Bait of Satan." I hope and pray that you will find healing and be able to move on from your past. <br /><br />Life is too short to be so trapped and bound up by offense. Forgive and move on so you can serve the Lord with your whole heart.<br /><br />I hate coming off sounding like some NCMI apologist, which I am not, but I think the positives about NCMI (and certainly my local church's expression of NCMI) are excellent, and need to be voiced.<br /><br />I am sure I'll get blasted for being so positive... :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-30291703157075684582013-05-09T04:41:39.586+00:002013-05-09T04:41:39.586+00:00Very nice aгtіclе, totally ωhаt I needeԁ.

I was a writer/journalist and helped them begin a ministry to the community with a monthly magazine with book reviews etc, but mostly with the “speak” that came from the top. I was a young Christian and felt I was serving God and the people whom He loves. One night I went to a leadership meeting run by Rob Rufus, Chris Wienand and a newcomer Fini de Gesigny. What I witnessed was firsthand and could possibly be a court action. All the leaders met at a plush beachside hotel in Durban, the Elangeni, I think.<br><br><br />They were practising for the big meeting the next day when the lesser mortals i.e. those who were not leaders, would be there. Fini de gesigny would pretend to be slain in the spirit when Rob gave the que, jumping, laughing hysterically and falling on the floor. I believe he still performs this act in Sydney somewhere.<br />Rob had a petite blonde wife, with much makeup sitting in the front pew looking at God I expect doing his bit out the front. I was a little devastated that God somehow became a plaything of men, like I was witnessing a circus practice before the main event.<br><br><br />I got married 6 months later, thankfully to an academically minded Jew who has great regard for God. He is stable as I believe God is stable. I have been reading of people, families, young and old who have been hurt by what has become a vast engaging organism of coercion and egocentric behaviour. I pray for those people whose letters I have read that God would help you to know how loved you are, and that He is a God of great integrity and truth. Serve Him always but stay very clear of NCMI.<br><br><br /> I am a Catholic, now I see Christ on the cross when I go to mass, not men playing games.Anonymous but known to Godnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-31862150246985319422012-09-07T21:12:12.077+00:002012-09-07T21:12:12.077+00:00@Zimmy...oh thank you for that.

For you will be judged on every word you have spoken.<br />Zimmynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-48323766332476880872012-03-11T00:27:56.345+00:002012-03-11T00:27:56.345+00:00I have been in argument with NCMI since I joined. ...I have been in argument with NCMI since I joined. Lack aof love, mass control, (I am in charge and you follow my lead), cross community gossip on leadership level< (YOu will do so because I say so... ANd my question was: but scripture says.... ) ALso told I am not in submission to my husband.... MY gusband found that funny, when we moved on they wanted to bless us to go, and I was Yea right, so what is wrong with God's blessing. I agree that there succes is built on the kind of leadership they choose, Businessmen. In my book it is one of the most succesfull businesses in the world. Also, once you leave (on good terms) no one prays for you anymore because you do not belong to the club. Sorry , business, ok... NCMI. I am sick to the core of people who will not allow others to grow in God themselves and control an manipulate in the Name of Jesus, forgot who the Father is and in BIG ROUND LeTTerS operate under the holy spirit.... O yes if you play gholf your chances are good at getting into the flow of things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-18499193130347808802012-01-17T17:22:23.872+00:002012-01-17T17:22:23.872+00:00NCMI came to the nation of Canada about 10 years a...NCMI came to the nation of Canada about 10 years ago now. Although I believe that NCMI has something to say to the church in Canada, they need to understand that this is not South Africa. They need to hang their culture on the cross where Jesus died and honour this nation and Canadians. The first leader they sent to this nation caused so much hurt to so many that wonderful, gifted leaders actually fled the area to get away from the control. They have lost the respect of so many. It is so sad, because many folks seem to be honest, sincere people who love Jesus and want to see the kingdom of God come to earth. So sad because they have lost their credibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-43819469345138004552011-08-12T11:22:36.076+00:002011-08-12T11:22:36.076+00:00Wow . . .! I have read every blog on this site and...Wow . . .! I have read every blog on this site and would like to quote from <br /><br />Psa 57. "I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts - men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords."<br /><br />I have belonged to an NCMI relating church for many years and i am shocked by the bitter words i have read in this website. What happened to "Keep on loving each other as brothers" (Heb13v1) or "Obay your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you" (v17) And as for those leaders that stand under your judgement consider v 18. "Pray for us, We are sure we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way."<br /><br />But most of all "May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen."

Classic 'pass the buck' to the third person (god); condemn the hurt person with brain washed simplification and 'cool speak' (offense not given but taken?); "pray" - another cop out for any ACTUAL human endeavour to right wrongs; 'doesnt matter which church'? - absolute hypocrisy since everyone in your church including you DO BELIEVE it makes a difference (thats why you go to an NCMI church) and then the biggest cop out lie of all lies- 'as long as you have a relationship with god'! How many times is that nauseous 'one liner' mindlessly thrown in when the christian has no idea how to deal with hurt people. In essence what you are saying is - "I cant help you, our church cant, (obviously) god is not interested (although allegedly being omniscient and omnipotent ) unless of course you get more humble (eg attend a church!!!)...and you have a 'relationship with god". Well, what does a relationship with a 'no -show' god, or a no-show disciple "made in his image, filled with his spirit, 'godly' (ie like god) look like jeff? Perhaps we could go around and tell the tsunami victims, the earthquake victims, family victims of war and murderous slaughter, rape victims, the diseased, abandoned, abused...those in slavery, the abject poor, the dying, the parentless, the maritally or realationaly abused - and especially the church abused - 'not to worry'! As long as they have a 'relationship with god'! What idiocy you demonstrate - in fact you reveal the very reason not one hurt person can get genuine help in such a mind- enslaving cult. Its so easy to give (your) awful advice (its no advice actually - just discreet judgmentalism). As long as you're happy doing your clapping in your airconditoned local brain drain centre jeff - and you can go home to your overfed western comfiness - and call your sunday bum on the seat attendance - 'piety' or 'following jesus...I have to admit (and I was one of them) that the christian church - especially the hipster style, 'lets be cool church' - is the furthest away from any notion of human spirituality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-82889227987641851212011-03-02T15:27:02.982+00:002011-03-02T15:27:02.982+00:00NCMI

As long as you know the Lord JESUS and he leads you, he will put you in a place where he will Grow you. I am involved in an NCMI church and i love it, God is good and i pray you people forgive those who hurt you because most people would never hurt another on purpose, remember "OFFENSE IS NOT GIVEN, ITS TAKEN". you take offense and you feel hurt.<br />I pray that this stuff does not hurt your relationship with Jesus, because at the end of the day it doesn't matter if you are Catholic or anglican or NCMI, as long as you have a relationship with God, he is the one we are after not a denomonation.<br />My Jesus guide you always!!!!!!jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-55899112601406477642010-12-12T06:56:25.754+00:002010-12-12T06:56:25.754+00:00I am curious what Stefan has to say with this!!

My husband and I use to be very...Just a quick note. My husband and I use to be very much in to NCMI (helping with a church plant, going to conferences, etc...) Like so many we began to see error (as there is many churches) yet when we tried to bring them up to the "Apostolic" we were ignored because the "local church" is independent of NCMI (even IF the head elder is apart of the Apostolic Team). We also discovered that in questioning we became subject to slanderous back-biting and this was from the elders (who said we were their friends). They use to sing a song there "Where the Spirit of the Lord is There is Freedom". Let me tell you there is NO FREEDOM in NCMI. One must follow their "Vision" and don't ask too many deep or theological questions. <br />After leaving there we are now in a very healthy and yes Denominational church. And it was then that I realized that in NCMI the individual is driven like a goat, as it is all about building "Team", in other words NCMI<br />Jesus Christ leads us like sheep and He has told us that that is how we are to lead others.<br />I noticed that this blog was started in 2007, I think the writer should release the NEWS that ROB RUFUS LEFT NCMI OVER A YEAR AGO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-88985843265519910712010-06-10T23:25:11.918+00:002010-06-10T23:25:11.918+00:00"Careful" is an interesting construct. I..."Careful" is an interesting construct. It describes taking action/making decisions based on what is possible, ultimately possible - by knowledge and fact. For example I would take care crossing the road, more or less according to pre-existing conditions that I know about and observe eg. traffic, weather conditions, day, night...<br />The problem with religion is that it encourages the absence of any 'real' means to be 'careful' by assuming against all natural and any real evidence that one can trust him/herself to another's view (by this I mean a "leaders view", thousands of years ancient in origin and/or re-created for modernity today) - all on the basis of a totally misunderstood and manipulative idea called 'faith'. Actually in truth it is simply coercion.<br />Thank goodness medical science does not progress on the basis of people being 'nice' or 'lovely'. I am glad I go to a doctor because he knows things - not because he is warm. lovely and nice. Science and Medicine progress on the basis of the double blind clinical trial - something of course conveniently left out of religious discussion. <br />The double blind clinical trial relies on the reality and value of doubt which needs then to be tested (over and over) and without prejudice. <br />We are of course talking about 'truth' aren't we when it comes to religion? Isn't truth the entire reason to be involved (in religion or a god)? So truth then would indicate that real evidence is needed, tests conducted, history investigated and proofs required, correct? It also would clearly reveal it self to be 'true' at every level (not just in a emotive, 'nice' meeting or organisation).<br />Trust in nice people, charismatic people and of course influential people is a serious malady of our sad human history because humans are so given to meaning being explained by an all knowing 'wise one' - and especially in light of the sheer awe and of our universe.<br />Perhaps it could be said that the most dangerous of all 'beliefs' comes via trusting charismatic personalities and so - called 'successful' 'models' (especially to the western mind) - and the emotive disregard for 'evidence'.<br />Soft, nice, love bombing, smiling, non- thinkers are the most dangerous. Especially cloaked in manipulative, 'we're not like everyone else' (but in reality we believe we are better than everyone else) clothing. <br />NCMI and many, many other FUNDAMENTAL- istic christian movements similarly convey their message under various social control guises - soft music, charismatic personalities, 'cool - relevant environments', placebo based 'miracles' and the notion of 'absolute' knowledge from books written by ignorant men of thousands of years prior...<br />Of course we MUST give money to these people AND of course we MUST submit and we MUST attend meetings - otherwise the death-thirsty, torture - thirsty "Shauden Freude" 'god' will deal with you! More truthfully, the leader may have to reveal the truth - give up his day job, nice house, overseas travel - and go back to work like the rest of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
