The Lord is good: I was able to live practically 30 years in Philadelphia before becoming Te\u00f3philo!
I came to know the true gospel through Sunday School\u2014without compromises, self-help, or politically correct speeches\u2014and through sermons that were correct enough to expose sin, invite repentance, and point to Christ as the only way to salvation.
I am no better than anyone else, and to this day I don't know how to explain why I saw the "rupture" happening while most of those who grew up with me and called me brother didn't, simply abandoning the solidity of the Scriptures and following\u2014in a kind of "social pact of silence"\u2014silently in the face of error in order to continue living in "communion"...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, at the beginning of my apostasy, I even got involved with the crazy heresies of the so-called "spiritual warfare" at the encouragement of the pastor who, influenced by neighboring pastors who had already apostatized, was beginning to abandon the purity of the faith and was considering starting a "deliverance team"... because that attracted an audience. Yesterday I managed to retrieve the notes I took while participating in the First Apostolic Prophetic Congress in January 2005, and I will present them here in a "raw" form, without altering even the verb tenses or agreements, so that the reader can feel, as I did, like reading the diary of an astonished Christian, unable to believe what he was witnessing. Eager to meet the preachers involved in this event, especially Ana M\u00e9ndez and Neuza Itioka, I have been registered since October 2004 so I can participate in all the days of the event. congress<\/a> (January 19-22, 2005). Some intercessory leaders cried out in prayer for things like \u201c"Arrival of the Kingdom in Rio de Janeiro"\u201d<\/span><\/em> and they still did various prophecies<\/a> such as, for example, \u201c"Rio de Janeiro will be called the River of Zion"\u201d<\/span><\/em>, or so many other things without any biblical basis whatsoever.
So, long before I was abandoned by those who preferred the convenience of obeying without reasoning\u2014and had to muster courage, patience, and willingness to, for example, translate the A clash between Rebecca Brown and the Scriptures.<\/a> \u2014I had already begun to realize that something very wrong was happening not only within Baptist churches, but in Protestantism in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, guided by God, I feel the need to offer some commentary and to record, myself, a prophecy.
I challenge anyone and everyone to read this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nProphetic-Apostolic Congress, 2005<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
DAY 1 (January 19, 2005)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
On opening day, the program started around 6:00 PM, but that's when my "surprises" began:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First of all, the Kingdom of God will only come after the fulfillment of each and every prophecy described throughout the Bible (apostasy, tribulation, antichrist, etc.) and, as far as I know, the Bible as the word of God must be fulfilled in its entirety.
Where two or three are gathered in the name of Jesus Christ, there He will be\u2026 but what good is it to gather 4,000 people or more to try to hasten (or even contradict) something that is the clear will of God expressed in the Bible?
Why go against 1\u02e2\u1d57 John 5:14?<\/p>\n\n\n
