Mr. Charles Fox Parham was the “First” person through whom God Gave this Gift back into Modern Christianity (if true) and so when I said the “Second” Person to Speak in Tongues I mean in terms of “names” mentioned he is “Second” as per “their own words” from “their own testimonies” and “First” because it was through him (if God Chose him) as follows:

[From Page 848/849 onward of the #ChiliasmBook]

b) ii) Mr. Charles Parham’s Testimony of Receiving this Gift of Speaking in Tongues only on the “later” date 3 January 1901 (Founder of Pentecostalism and Charismatic Gift of Speaking in Tongues)

“… On the night of January 3rd, I preached at the Free Methodist Church in the City of Topeka, telling them what had already happened, and that I expected upon returning the entire school to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. On returning to the school with one of the students, we ascended to the second floor, and passing down along the corridor in the upper room, heard most wonderful sounds. The door was slightly ajar, the room was lit with only coal oil lamps. As I pushed open the door I found the room was filled with a sheen of white light above the brightness of the lamps … After praising God for some time, I asked Him for the same blessing. He distinctly made it clear to me that He raised me up and trained me to declare this mighty truth to the world, and if i was willing to stand for it, with all the persecutions, heardships, trials, slander, scandal that it would entail, He would give me the blessing. And I said, “Lord I will, if You will just give me this blessing.” Right then there came a slight twist in my throat, a glory fell over me and I began to worship Gos in the Swedish tongue, which later changed to other languages and continued so until the morning. …” – Mr. Charles Parham, Founder of Pentecostalism and Gift of Speaking in Tongues in Modern Charismatic Christianity (“The Latter Rain”, As Told By The Late Charles F. Parham, Re-printed in The Apostolic Faith – April 1951)

i) Ms. Agnes’ Testimony that she got the Baptism of the Holy Spirit First on 1 January 1901

“… On watch night we had a blessed service, praying that God’s blessing might rest upon us as the New Year came in. During the first day of 1901 the presence of the Lord was with us in a marked way stilling our hearts to wait upon Him for greater things. The spirit of prayer was upon us in the evening. It was nearly seven o’clock on this first of January that it came into my heart to ask Brother Parham to lay his hands upon me that I might receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. It was as his hands were laid upon my head that the Holy Spirit fell upon me and I began to speak in tongues, glorifying God. I talked several languages, and ir was clearly manifest when a new dialect was spoken. I had the added joy and glory my heart longed for and a depth of the presence of the Lord within that I had never known before. it was as if rivers of living waters were preceeding from my innermost being. …” – Ms. Agnes Ozman [ Personal Testimony of being the first person to Receive the Holy Ghost at “Stones Folly” in Topeka, Kansas. (January 1, 1901) Printed in the Apostolic Faith April – 1951 ]

Essential Doctrinal Summary: To be a Christian (Christ’s Bride, Elect Salvation), one needs to believe in Lord Jesus Christ Who died for our sins according to Scripture, Rose on the Third Day and is coming back to Judge the living and the dead. To keep the faith alive one needs to keep the “Holiness Doctrine” (which lists 9 out of 10 commandments excluding the Sabbath) and “Charity Doctrine” (without which there is no love in action with material and spiritual goods shared for free with others together with justice dealing with others to be free from money-sins, racism, nepotism and the like and not falsely calling it as blessings, 1 John 3:16 – 18). Also one needs to avoid any possible Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:30 – 32) for example where as God Himself Warned an Eternal Condemnation in Jeremiah 23:31 – 34, 36 – 40. Basically in these Verses God Clearly Says that if you say your “own opinion as oracle (prophecy context) & are wrong it’s okay because you did NOT say it’s the Holy Spirit” (Jeremiah 23:36; but of course you must admit you could be wrong so NOT to mislead any of your hearers) but if you claim the “Holy Spirit told me so about Prophecy context you must be 100% right or if not, EVERLASTING REJECTION awaits (Jeremiah 23:33 – 34, 39 – 40)”. This is “Why” I do NOT risk myself with “Prosperity Gospel prophecies” or “Progressive Christianity prophecies” from ‘having women pastors to disregarding New Testament Traditions because they quote that the Holy Spirit told them directly that can now which has NOT been in the Church before the 20th Century’ where I don’t judge them but keep away to avoid these risks but the only way they can be not condemned is if the Holy Spirit really told them and vice versa. Let God Decide. Peace to you

 

2) John Calvin (Founder of Calvinism and the Reformed Churches)

John Calvin clearly believed that “speaking in tongues” referred to actual human languages and the “speaking in an unknown tongue” type was clearly a “punishment”; furthermore John Calvin asserts that if God Gave the Gift of Tongues which he means “actual human languages”, then He Will also give “interpretation” of it too, to quote:

 

“…  11. I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian [822] The tongue ought to be an index of the mind — not merely in the sense of the proverb, but in the sense that is explained by Aristotle in the commencement of his book — “On Interpretation.” [823] How foolish then it is and preposterous in a man, to utter in an assembly a voice of which the hearer understands nothing — in which he perceives no token from which he may learn what the person means! It is not without good reason, therefore, that Paul views it as the height of absurdity, that a man should be a barbarian to the hearers, by chattering in an unknown tongue, and at the same time he elegantly treats with derision the foolish ambition of the Corinthians, who were eager to obtain praise and fame by this means. “This reward,” says he, “you will earn — that you will be a barbarian.” For the term barbarian, whether it be an artificial one, (as Strabo thinks, [824] ) or derived from some other origin, is taken in a bad sense. Hence the Greeks, who looked upon themselves as the only persons who were good speakers, and had a polished language, gave to all others the name of barbarians, from their rude and rustic dialect. No language, however, is so cultivated as not to be reckoned barbarous, when it is not understood. “He that heareth,” says Paul, “will be unto me a barbarian, and I will be so to him in return.” By these words he intimates, that to speak in an unknown tongue, is not to hold fellowship with the Church, but rather to keep aloof from it, and that he who will act this part, will be deservedly despised by others, because he first despises them. … 13. Wherefore let him that speaketh in another tongue This is an anticipation, by way of reply to a question which might very readily be proposed to him. “If any one, therefore, is able to speak a foreign language, will the gift be useless? Why should that be kept back, which might be brought out to light, to the glory of God?” He shows the remedy. “Let him,” says he, “ask from God the gift of interpretation also. If he is without this, let him abstain in the meantime from ostentation.” [826] … 20. Brethren, be not children in understanding He proceeds a step farther; for he shows that the Corinthians are so infatuated, that they, of their own accord. draw down upon themselves, and eagerly desire, as though it were a singular benefit, what the Lord threatens that he will send, when he designs to inflict upon his people the severest punishment. What dreadful madness is this — to pursue eagerly with their whole desire, what, in the sight of God, is regarded as a curse! That we may, however, understand more accurately Paul’s meaning, we must, observe, that this statement is grounded on the testimony of Isaiah, which he immediately afterwards subjoins. (Isaiah 28:11, 12.) And as interpreters have been misled, from not observing the connection to be of this nature, to prevent all mistake, we shall first explain the passage in Isaiah, and then we shall come to Paul’s words. In that chapter the Prophet, inveighs with severity against the ten tribes, which had abandoned themselves to every kind of wickedness. The only consolation is, that God had still a people uncorrupted in the tribe of Judah; but straightway he deplores the corruption of that tribe also; and he does so the more sharply, because there was no hope of amendment. For thus he speaks in the name of God — Whom shall I teach knowledge? those that are weaned from their mother? those that are drawn from the breasts By this he means, that they are no more capable of instruction than little children but lately weaned. It is added — Precept upon precept, instruction upon instruction, charge upon charge, direction upon direction, here a little, and there a little In these words he expresses, in the style of a mimic, [843] the slowness and carelessness by which they were kept back. “In teaching them, I lose my labor, for they make no progress, because they are beyond measure uncultivated, and what they had been taught by means of long-continued labor, they in a single moment forget.”  It is added still farther — He that speaketh to that people is like one that maketh use of stammering lips, and a foreign language This is the passage that Paul quotes. Now the meaning is, [844] that the people have been visited with such blindness and madness, that they no more understand God when speaking to them, than they would some barbarian or foreigner, stammering in an unknown tongue — which is a dreadful curse. He has not, however, quoted the Prophet’s words with exactness, because he reckoned it enough to make a pointed reference to the passage, that the Corinthians, on being admonished, might attentively consider it. As to his saying that it was written in the law, [845] this is not at variance with common usage; for the Prophets had not a ministry distinct from the law, but were the interpreters of the law, and their doctrine is, as it were, a sort of appendage to it; hence the law included the whole body of Scripture, up to the advent of Christ. Now Paul from this infers as follows — “Brethren, it is necessary to guard against that childishness, which is so severely reproved by the Prophet — that the word of God sounds in your ears without any fruit. Now, when you reject prophecy, which is placed within your reach, and prefer to stand amazed at empty sound, is not this voluntarily to incur the curse of God? [846]  … 27. If any one speak in another tongue He now describes the order and limits the measure. “If you have a mind to speak with other tongues, let only two speak, or, at most, not more than three, and let there be at the same time an interpreter sitting by Without an interpreter, tongues are of no advantage: let them, therefore be dispensed with.” It is to be observed, however, that he does not command, but merely permits; for the Church can, without any inconvenience, dispense with tongues, except in so far as they are helps to prophecy, as the Hebrew and Greek languages are at this day. Paul, however, makes this concession, that he may not seem to deprive the assembly of believers of any gift of the Spirit. At the same time, it might seem as if even this were not agreeable to reason, inasmuch as he said before, (1 Corinthians 14:22,) that tongues, in so far as they are for a sign, are suited to unbelievers. I answer, that, while a miracle may be performed more particularly with a view to unbelievers, it, nevertheless, does not follow, that it may not be of some advantage to believers also. If you understand, that an unknown tongue is a sign to unbelievers in the sense that Isaiah’s words [857] bear, the method of procedure, which Paul here prescribes, is different. For he allows of other tongues in such a way that, interpretation being joined with them, nothing is left obscure. He observes, therefore, a most admirable medium in correcting the fault of the Corinthians. On the one hand, he does not at all set aside any gift of God whatever, [858] in order that all his benefits may be seen among believers. On the other hand he makes a limitation — that ambition do not usurp the place that is due to the glory of God, and that no gift of inferior importance stand in the way of those that are of chief moment; and he adds the sauce [859] — that there be no mere ostentation, devoid of advantage.  28. Let him speak to himself and to God “Let him enjoy,” says he, “his gift in his own conscience, and let him give thanks to God.” For in this way I explain the expression to speak to himself and to God, as meaning — to recognize in his own mind with thanksgiving the favor conferred upon him, [860] and to enjoy it as his own, when there is not an opportunity for bringing it forward in a public manner. For he draws a contrast between this secret way of speaking, and speaking publicly in the Church — which he forbids. [861] …” – Blessed John Calvin, Protestant Reformer Theologian, Founder of the Reformed Churches and Calvinism (Creator of the Five Point Calvinism or Tulips Doctrine for Protestantism, Commentary on 1 Corinthians 14)

Comment: Some Charismatics claim that John Calvin spoke in tongues based on the following biography discovery:

“…Jeff Doles, makes the reader aware of a student publication of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary known as The Paper. On page 6 of the March 24, 1975, issue, there is a short piece by Quent Warford and it is entitled, “Calvin Speaks Unknown Tongue.”

 

The Paper reports:

 

The volume which allegedly contains the account of Calvin’s ecstatic utterances is in the library at the Episcopal Divinity School. It is his biography by his friend and confidant, Theodore Beza, entitled De Vitam Iohannes Cauvin. It is contained in The Vault, the Rare Book Room at E.D.S. Entering The Vault involves a great deal of red tape, and the invocation of the higher powers of the B.T.I. Prof. Hiles’ dining-hall pass also came in handy.

 

De Vitam Ihohannes Cauvin was published posthumously by Beza. All it contains concerning glossolalia is a small entry, confided to Beza by Calvin, shortly before the latter’s death. On several oc­casions, Calvin, in his devotions, found himself uttering a lingua non nota et cognota mini. That is, the language was not known or understood by him.

 

Himself a skilled linguist, Calvin set about to discover the orthography of the utterance. Unable to trace it, he confided to Beza that although the language was Hebraic in character, he yet feared that he had spoken a lingua barbarorum. That is, he feared having spoken in an accursed tongue, such as what was spoken by the Canaanites.

 

The matter was only a minor one to Beza, who allots it only a few sentences in De Vitam Iohannes Cauvin. Calvin’s concern was only a matter of linguistics. Therefore, there is not enough primary source material to build a case one way or the other.   …”

Comments (please read both sides before deciding which is more accurate):

  1. The “Speaking in tongues” part may not have been part of the original biography:

“…  There is an English translation of Beza’s biography of Calvin in the old Eerdmans set, Tracts and Treatises. I scanned through it for a reference to this, but didn’t find anything. It doesn’t sound genuine, especially since Beza’s biography has been available in English for decades. Why would someone have to refer to the Latin? The only reason would be that the translator left it out, but I doubt that. Additional red flag: the title in Latin is wrong. It says, De Vitam Iohannes Cauvin. “Cauvin” is French. Besides, if I’m not mistaken, Beza’s biography was originally written in French.…”  Source:

https://www.puritanboard.com/threads/possible-theodore-beza-paper-on-calvin.63606/

  1. Suppose the original biography did indeed have that quote. Let’s look at the internal evidence here more closely as follows:
  2. i) It contradicts basically what John Calvin wrote in his own commentary earlier if he was taking this “unknown tongue” speaking as a “blessing rather than a curse/punishment
  3. ii) This phrase quoted above “… he [John Calvin] confided to Beza that although the language was Hebraic in character, he [John Calvin] yet feared that he had spoken a lingua barbarorum. …” clearly means that JOHN CALVIN was NOT attributing “this SPEAKING in TONGUES INCIDENT” to the MOST BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT but as he acknowledges it not to be Hebrew and he is afraid of experiencing it which would be different if he embraced it since would the MOST BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT Give the GIFT OF TONGUES to a PERSON like JOHN CALVIN who then IMMEDIATELY AFTER EXPERIENCING it REJECTS it too here? Notice the other possibility JOHN CALVIN presents here namely that he might have spoken an actual human language namely HEBREW (but perhaps OLD HEBREW and that’s why he couldn’t fully understand it? This possibility in his own option presented above still proves his earlier theological points which he never recanted even after this experience (if true) that SPEAKING in TONGUES is still HUMAN LANGUAGE only.

 

iii) Beza himself does not leave it as an open question and neither quotes that John Calvin was unsure about the incident but rather continues in the above (as even our dear Charismatics quote earlier) that the reason for this is  “… That is, he [John Calvin] feared having spoken in an accursed tongue, such as what was spoken by the Canaanites.…”. If you read John Calvin’s own Commentary regarding “speaking in tongues” in 1 Corinthians 14 earlier, you can understand his own remark here (as recorded by the same “Beza”) that he [JOHN CALVIN] feared that he is being JUDGED and the SIGN FOR IT IS SPEAKING in AN UNKNOWN TONGUE/ACCURSED TONGUE. Can you really “see” it?

 

iv) Far from the meaning Charismatics propose by this writing (if authentic even), it actually SEEMS TO PROVE that JOHN CALVIN (NOT me) via this incident itself that THOSE WHO SPEAK in an UNKNOWN TONGUE are CURSED by GOD. I am NOT saying this to be true for all cases (because no one can say for sure 100% whether God really gave such a Gift back to Pentecostalism) but JOHN CALVIN’s OWN WORDS (NOT mine) quoted here points to that and I just PRESENT the EVIDENCE honestly to show the danger and let God Decide. Here’s a more intriguing point to consider: If JOHN CALVIN SPOKE IN UNKNOWN TONGUES by the HOLY SPIRIT here, why would the SAME MOST BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD then NOT change JOHN CALVIN’s INTERPRETATION of SPEAKING in UNKNOWN TONGUE FROM BEING A “CURSE” to a “BLESSING”? It does not seem logical for the HOLY SPIRIT to GIVE a GIFT to a PERSON who will CALL IT A CURSE/PUNISHMENT from GOD unless it is such, right? Maybe John Calvin is judged for his errors in theology (if any)? Please note that his own WORDS/FEAR points more to that AFTER THAT EXPERIENCE and NOT any claim of Charistmatics that he was “happy” to experience it as they claim.

Doctrinal Discussion 8: I will make you the head and not tail timeline context?

 

1) First Protestant Fathers

[From Page 272/310 onward of the #ChiliasmBook]

The First Protestant Fathers condemned any concept of “… I will make you the head not the tail …” prophecy being applied before CHRIST Returns NOT as a SMALL ERROR but one DAMNABLE to ETERNAL HELL below (Why so serious? Because to fulfil it you have to practice NEPOTISM, RACISM, to MAKE YOURSELF THE HEAD say even in JOB-HIRE NOT being fair to others to PROVE that this PROPHECY applies to you to UNJUST OPPRESSION by CONQUERING OTHER COUNTRIES literally with WARS etc. or even via ECONOMIC GAMES/CHEATING MONOPOLY giving business to OWN RACE ONLY etc. which is NOT WHAT LORD JESUS CHRIST WOULD DO as He Commanded to LOVE our ENEMIES etc. where it makes those who do it to BREAK so MANY MOST important COMMANDS of CHRIST relating to LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF making them LAWLESS actually:

“… 5 They CONDEMN ALSO OTHERS who are now spreading certain JEWISH OPINIONS, that BEFORE THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD the GODLY SHALL TAKE POSSESSION OF THE KINGDOM OF THIS WORLD, the ungodly being everywhere suppressed. …”

2) Blessed St. Irenaeous of Lyons

[From Page 274 onward of the #ChiliasmBook]

“… 3. The blessing of Isaac with which he blessed his younger son Jacob has the same meaning, when he says, Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a full field which the Lord has blessed. Genesis 27:27, etc. But the field is the world. Matthew 13:38 And therefore he added, God give to you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, plenty of grain and wine. And let the nations serve you, and kings bow down to you; and be lord over your brother, and your father’s sons shall bow down to you: CURSED SHALL BE HE WHO SHALL CURSE THEE, and BLESSED SHALL BE HE WHO SHALL BLESS THEE .” [Genesis 12:3] If any one, then, DOES NOT ACCEPT THESE THINGS AS REFERRING TO THE APPOINTED KINGDOM, he must fall into much CONTRADICTION and CONTRARIETY, as is the CASE WITH THE JEWS, who are INVOLVED IN ABSOLUTE PERPLEXITY. For not only did not the nations in this life serve this Jacob; but even after he had received the blessing, he himself going forth [from his home], served his uncle Laban the Syrian for twenty years; and not only was he not made lord of his brother, but he did himself bow down before his brother Esau, upon his return from Mesopotamia to his father, and offered many gifts to him. Moreover, in what way did he inherit much corn and wine here, he who emigrated to Egypt because of the famine which possessed the land in which he was dwelling, and became Subject to Pharaoh, who was then ruling over Egypt? The PREDICTED BLESSING, therefore, BELONGS UNQUESTIONABLY TO THE TIMES OF THE KINGDOM, when the righteous shall bear rule UPON THEIR RISING FROM THE DEAD; when also the creation, having been renovated and set free, shall fructify with an abundance of all kinds of food, from the dew of heaven, and from the fertility of the earth: as the ELDERS WHO SAW JOHN, the DISCIPLE OF THE LORD, related that they had heard from him how THE LORD USED TO TEACH in regard to these times, and say…” – Blessed St. Irenaeous of Lyons, a Hearer of Blessed St. Polycarp who is an Apostolic Father being the Disciple of Blessed St. John who wrote the Book of Revelation, Approved Church Father in the First Lutheran Father’s Book of Concord, Venerated in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodoxy, Anglican Communion, Lutheran Church, First Doctor of the Church in order of time, Father of Catholic Theology, (c. 130 AD – c. 202 AD, ‘Against Heresies’, Book 5, Chapter 33 (XXXIII), Points 3) Roman Catholic Source: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0103533.htm

Or another Source:  http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/irenaeus-book5.html

 

3) Actual History

Assuming that “modern prosperity Christians” claiming that “their local Church Pastor/Denomination or members are the heads and not tail in the current world thereby fulfilling this prophecy now”, let’s look at ACTUAL STATISTICS to SEE PROOF that YET AGAIN ROMAN CATHOLICS + ORTHODOX are STILL NO. 1 in entire Church History Timeline.

Let’s begin.

 

  1. i) Hard Question – The Christian Dilemma

 

Between 500 AD to 1500 AD (roughly 1000 years) before the Protestant Reformation, there was “only” a Christianity which “Prayed to Virgin Mary”.

 

So, did the “Great Commission” get Fulfilled by the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Church during that time?

If “no” Christian were saved  with the praying to Virgin Mary Practice, then almost “no” one was Saved for 1000 years? If Christians were saved despite Praying to Virgin Mary back then, then some of them  could likewise be saved right now even despite this error, right?

 

So similarly a majority modern Protestant Christianity which evangelized their part of the world say about 100 years or less doing against New Testament Traditions even may be similar likewise as “not” being accurate in this part, right?

 

Hence I follow the earliest known Christian Writings only as explained in the #SafeRouteScripturallyBook for Doctrine or possible Doctrines likewise. Let God have Mercy on whomever He Wills.

 

If Truth is proven by money, number of Converts or number of years in existence or who Fulfilled more of the Great Commission, till today it’s still the Roman Catholics + Orthodox.

 

Perhaps the opposite is true namely the Most accurate Doctrines have the least Christians.

 

  1. ii) Which Christianity is HEAD and NOT Tail in Number of Discoveries/Nobel Prize?

Roman Catholic and Orthodox yet again

Let’s take the “Nobel Prize” example which  by ‘religious affiliation breakdown’ is won mostly by Christians, to quote:

 

“… In an estimate by Baruch Shalev, between 1901-2000 about 65.4% of Nobel prize winners were either Christians or had a Christian background.[1] Here is a non exhaustive list of some of the prize winners who publicly identified themselves as Christians. …”

 

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_Nobel_laureates

 

If my count is correct (based on list in link above), the breakdown among Christians is:

 

1) Roman Catholic = 54

 

2) Protestant = 55

[Note I counted “Orthodox = 7” as Protestant here just to contrast with Roman Catholic as shown in next page and you can count manually in link too to see this].

So here are some further breakdowns (some counted above in “Protestant”, overlap):

 

3) Methodist = 11

 

4) Lutheran = 10

 

5) Pentecostal = 2 (and both Africans)

 

6) Reformed = 2 (John Calvin’s Reformed Churches)

 

7) Anglican = 7

 

8.) Christian = 15 (those didn’t want to identify themselves with other denominations but just as ‘Christian’)

 

9) Born Again Christian = 1 (only Bob Dylan the singer used this phrase to identify himself as such on this list)

 

10) Orthodox Christians = 7

 

11) Moravian Church = 1

 

12) Protestant (Episcopalian) = 5

 

13) Quakers = 5

 

14) Protestant Baptist = 4

 

15) Presbyterian = 6

 

iii) Which Christianity is HEAD and NOT Tail in Number of Conversions?

Roman Catholic and Orthodox [Even if today say Protestantism exceeds it one day, remember that your local church or denomination is just a smaller part of it and counting total for last 2000 years would still put Roman Catholics and Orthodox as winner, right?]

Numbers don’t lie – Christianity Statistics Test

Image taken from Wikipedia on 17 May 2022

Source:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_denomination

Please remember that “Protestant” in the Picture includes a wide range of denominations who are “not” United with each other even with some “cults” too meaning the “local Church” one attends may be just a ‘fraction’ of it with many other varieties existing.

 

There are surely errors from one Protestant Denomination to the next when Compared because both claim theological points which “contradict” each other on some doctrinal areas eventually.

 

So, let God Decide who is right because as all of them have done some of the Great Commission in some way but as for accuracy, only God Knows where some may be more accurate in a theological part whilst another denomination in another area etc. but for me I follow more of the “Church Fathers and Protestant Founders” only as described in the  #SafeRouteScripturallyBook for many reasons mentioned therein for both #Doctrine and #PossibilityofDoctrine (because we are “not” arrogant enough to claim that we got all our Doctrines right).

 

We know that the Roman Catholics and Orthodox denominations did a good job in preserving ancient Christian Writings especially those of the “Chiliasm Fathers of the Church” whom I follow most as they are the ‘earliest whose writings survive’ simply because both of these major denominations do “not” believe the same as them in many areas too as I have demonstrated in the #SafeRouteScripturallyBook.

 

Simple Logic: If someone wants to “change” an ‘early Christian Writing’ back at that time even, then they would have changed it to be ‘similar to what they believe or add in those things which they believe’ which is clearly absent from all Chiliasm Father’s Endorsed Writing such as they have “no” Prayers to Virgin Mary or Equivalent and also have a heavy focus on the #milleniarism or “chiliasm” #eschatology doctrine too.

 

Peace to you

Conclusion

 

While reading please notice these “Actual Historical” facts:

 

1) No Women Pastors on the list before the 19th Century (the work of women was not preaching in authority over men during those centuries but the “Charity Doctrine” as other Church Records clearly Testify be it the Protestants, Catholics or Orthodox).

 

Note: Women pastors  today are mostly found in the progressive Christian movements today based primarily on the “Prosperity Gospel” message and hence do it for “big money” likewise and some who fail to get big numbers may be poorer but given the “numbers” (women or male pastors) in the  “Prosperity Gospel” movement would not hesitate to take the “big money as blessings for personal financial gain” as opposed to certain denominations which are strict about this and do “not” reward financially any pastor regardless of “big number converts”. Can you “see” it? So no need to judge another but based on these everyday facts today, let each examine and see ‘which describe them best’ and let God Judge or Reward accordingly.

Doctrinal Discussion 12: Baptism & Summary in Images

 

The Problem: Most modern protestant Christians think that since their “pastor/church” baptized them, how can that Church/Pastor be wrong theologically?

Solution: Every “Protestant” Christian must acknowledge that Blessed Martin Luther, the First Champion of the Protestant Faith & Founder of the Lutheran Church must be “Saved” but few know that he was ONLY BAPTIZED as a ROMAN CATHOLIC as a BABY and NEVER REBAPTIZED AGAIN & gave the reason that even such a BAPTISM IS VALID. I mean if God allowed Martin Luther to be wrong in this Baptism Doctrine (as he was baptized by a ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST who PRAYS to VIRGIN MARY etc. before the Reformation), is he saved? So the only logical conclusion here is that just because a Church/Denomination baptizes you, it can be wrong theologically on some/most or all points but yet you are SAVED if you FOLLOW CHRIST’s COMMANDS as Martin Luther’s case proves and best is, for EACH CLAIM MADE, I HAVE SHOWN that if NOT ALL, in MOST DOCTRINES (except NON ELECT SALVATION POSSIBILITY) I follows ALL KEY CHURCH FATHERS and KEY PROTESTANT FOUNDERS proving once and for all that I am NOT a heretic in any way. Regarding NON ELECT SALVATION POSSIBILITY, I present it with the Greatest Church Fathers and Doctors of the Church meaning that it could be true (or not) so let GOD DECIDE. Peace to you

 

Example Proof for the claim Martin Luther is only baptized as a Roman Catholic baby:

“… Martin Luther was born to Hans Luder (or Ludher, later Luther)[18] and his wife Margarethe (née Lindemann) on 10 November 1483 in Eisleben, County of Mansfeld, in the Holy Roman Empire. Luther was baptized the next morning on the feast day of St. Martin of Tours.  …”

0) The First Speaking in Tongues claim by Ms Agnes Ozman of the Pentecostal Movement

How reliable is the No. 1 Evidence of Speaking in Tongues claim by Pentecostals by Ms Agnes Ozman?
[Eternity is at stake here when speaking of the UNFORGIVABLE SIN of BLASPHEMY AGAINST the HOLY SPIRIT defined as SPEAKING AGAINST HIM in Matthew 12:30 – 32] Example  Source (around 28 minutes 31 seconds in): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0YUdOtEr9k

 

A thought worthy of Eternity to Ponder

Reformed Churches and Conservative Protestants reject the modern day Speaking in Tongues claim by Pentecostals pointing especially to Charles Fox Parham’s (Father of Pentecostalism) own claim that the first speaking in tongues incident with Agnes Ozman evidence claim as Chinese doesn’t quite look like Chinese words at all (scribbled) and his sodomy issues where he did not deny (meaning never admitted nor repented) but said he did not know what he did whilst in a sleep state as well as that Parham only recognized tongues as referring to some human language type and denounced the Azusa Street Revival type of speaking in tongues claim of angelic or non-human language by his student Seymour as fleshy or demonic where even the Assemblies of God (AOG) and other Churches (denominations) are born from here where all these published in newspapers at that time even and I have recorded in the #CHILIASMBOOK with evidences listed in those pages in the last chapter. Would God bring back the Gift of Tongues in this way? If it’s not the Holy Spirit it can lead to unforgiven blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:30 – 32). We don’t need to judge but remain neutral but that’s why  I don’t participate in such risks with “possible” eternal consequences if wrong. But didn’t they evangelize the world in this last century or so? How Can God allow them to be wrong (if wrong)? Similar arguments are used by Roman Catholics & Orthodox to support prayers to Virgin Mary & Saints in that how can they be wrong since only their type of Christianity evangelized the world for at least 1000 years (from 5th century to 16th century) till the Protestant Reformation? I mean if Pentecostals can believe God allowed Roman Catholics and Orthodox to be wrong (and even damned), it means God can allow this too. So Let God Decide but the actual evidence of their history is NOT safe for me.  Peace to you

 

Does GOD Look for PERFECTION of WORKS of FAITH?
Some modern claims: ‘… God is not looking for perfect works, just works of faith …’

Biblical Truth: YES. Example Verse next The “Reason” Christ Says they are “DEAD” is because “CHRIST is LOOKING for PERFECTION of WORKS based on BIBLE VERSES as many do works AGAINST NEW TESTAMENT BIBLE VERSES such as HOLINESS COMMANDS, CHARITY DOCTRINE & NEW TESTAMENT TRADITIONS“, Says Who? CHRIST HIMSELF, Verses:

“… 1“And to the [a]angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know YOUR WORKS, that you have a NAME that you are ALIVE, but YOU ARE DEAD. 2Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are READY TO DIE, for I have NOT FOUND YOUR WORKS PERFECT before [b]God. 3Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and REPENT. …” – The KING, Most Blessed Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 3:1 – 3, NKJV))

Note: The word “REPENT” means they are NOT Saved. That is WHY I ONLY FOLLOW PROTESTANT FOUNDERS and CHURCH FATHERS to be SAFE as they are in the NARROW & DIFFCULT Way to LIFE lest OUR WORKS OF FAITH FALLS in this IMPERFECT CATEGORY and BECOMES DEAD as shown in the #DOCTRINEBOOK or #BOOKOFDOCTRINE.

The Difficult Elect Salvation [Text]

“… Because narrow is the gate and DIFFICULT is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. …” (Matthew 7:14, NKJV)

[Compare Details from Pages 1597 and 1599 of the #SafeRouteScripturallyBook ]

Peace to you

Hi Dr. Vincent and Prof. Gopi,

Your HR Staff Nesette tried to WhatsApp me again from another number just now only (image 3 attached). I blocked that number because I do NOT want her to reply. I want Dr. Vincent Chian only to reply if he wants to talk about it. If he does not want to talk about it, then let’s just skip it (human free will). Just to refresh your memory and so everyone else knows too, please see image 4 attached where I blocked the initial contact from your school it was spam and it was Mrs. Cynthia Chian (your mom perhaps) who insisted on me getting on it and I gave you every one of my material in full but no job given. It’s okay as I cannot falsely accuse you of using it in any way (only God Knows).

The reason I only want Dr. Vincent to reply is because
1) The fact that yesterday I put up the post and today Nesette changes her phone number proves something is shady (Image 3)
2) I am a Christian and for me I quote this Verse for your reply (if you do or not doesn’t matter) as it stands in regards to Nesette too:

“… If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”…” (John 20:23, NKJV)

3) I want to see if Dr. Vincent is willing to risk his reputation & Bible Verse judgment above that “Nesette is telling the truth and not covering up now”. If you think the Bible Verse has no effect, I want God to Prove it in the Spirit World after we “die”.

4) Please remember I already show grace even in allowing your school to download all my material though I cannot say for sure if they’re using it or not and even after all that yesterday’s scam type job offer was repeated by Nesette after April too and such a provocation makes me to judge since this is too much I have borne (who knows you guys may be playing me out from other school’s employment via contacts so I cannot prove it so let God Judge all of this together not now on earth but after we “die”).

Best Regards,
Jonathan Ramachandran (Jon)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Personal Healing Story from Voices and impossible situations generally due to wrong relationships in the past. My link part image:

 

 

 

I think personally St. Augustine of Hippo  is right on this doctrinal point as many other Church Father quotes and First Christianity Quotes agree. Quotes with links (Text):

“… John Wesley, the father of Methodism, demonstrated a break with the Reformers and a decided preference for the Anglican teaching out of which he came. He treated divorce and remarriage in the context of polygamy: “All polygamy is clearly forbidden in these words, wherein our Lord expressly declares, that for any woman who has a husband alive, to marry again is adultery.”[63] The same held true for a man. In contrast to Luther and Calvin, Wesley did not allow divorce on the grounds of cruelty. The only ground was adultery, in which case there was no Scripture forbidding the innocent party from remarrying.[64] …”
[63] Wesley’s Standard Sermons (ed. Edward H. Sugden; London: Epworth Press, 1921) 1:360.
[64] Ibid., 1:360.

Source: https://theologicalstudies.org.uk/article_divorce_snuth.html

The Council of Elvira (c. 300) vigorously opposed remarriage. Women who divorced their husbands, regardless of grounds, were to be excommunicated. If an “innocent” wife (who divorced an adulterous husband) were to remarry, she was to be denied the sacraments until her first husband’s death, after which she might find readmission to the church. Because, however, her crime was not as serious as that of a “guilty” party, if she were to die before her first husband, she might receive the sacrament of extreme unction.[7]

[7] Arendzen, “Ante-Nicene Interpetations,” 238-39

 

“… Our Lord, therefore, in order to confirm that principle, that a wife should not lightly be put away, made the single exception of fornication; but enjoins that all other annoyances, if any such should happen to spring up, be borne with fortitude for the sake of conjugal fidelity and for the sake of chastity; and he also calls that man an adulterer who should marry her that has been divorced by her husband. And the Apostle Paul shows the limit of this state of affairs, for he says it is to be observed as long as her husband lives; but on the husband’s death he gives permission to marry. …” – Blessed St. Augustine of Hippo, the Third Great Latin Doctor of the Church, who influenced virtually all of subsequent Western philosophy and Catholic theology, as well as a significant amount of Protestant theology, Approved Church Father in the First Lutheran Father’s Book of Concord, Approved Church Father in the First Lutheran Father’s Book of Concord, Venerated in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodoxy, Anglican Communion, Lutheran Church  (c. 354 AD – c. 430 AD, Augustine, Our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount, Book 1, Chapter 14) Source:  https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/16011.htm

 

“… Martin Luther deplored divorce and “thought it clear, both from the ordinance of creation and the teaching of Christ, that marriage is meant to last throughout life”.[40] He taught that the innocent party in adultery and the innocent party in desertion were exceptions in which divorce was allowed on Scriptural grounds.[40] With regard to the innocent party in adultery, Luther held that “the guilty party severed the marriage tie so that the innocent one can act as though his spouse has died and he is free to marry again”.[40] Concerning the innocent party in desertion, Luther taught that this was an extension of the Pauline privilege as “any husband or wife who deserted the home proved themselves to be unbelievers in fact, whatever they might be in name, and therefore should be treated as such.”[40] …”- Blessed Martin Luther, The First Champion of the Protestant Faith

For Augustine, “even from the union of the two, the man and woman, marriage bears a certain sacramental character, (which) can no way be dissolved but by the death of one of them.”[11] Such a sacramental bond holds in spite of adultery or divorce. Accordingly, he argued that, while divorce is permissible because of fornication on the part of one spouse (though he candidly admitted that he did not know whether fornication referred to “acts of uncleanness” or to “every transgression of the law on account of unlawful lust,” e.g., idolatry or covetousness), remarriage is out of the question, for, regardless of circumstances or who may be the guilty party, the marriage bond remains.[12] Unless and until the original spouse dies, remarriage is adultery.

In Image, Jacob (Israel) is often misunderstood to have partaken of some type of partiality and hence quoted by some to justify their nepotism to racism which is utterly wrong. Here I reveal with Bible and First Christianity quote that God Chose Jacob knowing that he will repent and be willing to be cheated even in work context to do the right thing regardless for 14 to 20 years!

The Original Protestants do “not” believe in “Women Pastors” till today. So there is “no” condemnation in following this doctrinal point.

Do Christians need to observe Saturday /Sunday as Sabbath?
