To help you as you navigate this very extensive post, we have provided first a brief outline:
*Please check back as we will be making significant updates on this post over the ensuing days.
- I. Various Testimonies – Here are provided testimonies of both salvation as well as our dealings with many of those who have of late spoken against, not our persons – for those matters are not ours to defend, except it effect the witness of the gospel – but against the name of the Lord in whom we stand, and whose ways we seek to uphold.
- II. Extensive Answers to Frequently Asked Questions – In this section we seek to extensively answer many questions which are often and many times maliciously asked, and all too often behind our backs. Following the Preface is a series of questions which, when selected, open documents which we have written for the express purpose of opening and clearing these questions through the Scriptures.
- III. New Media – Here we have provided a video and many recent sermons that have been preached, both evangelistic and doctrinal, which may, as well, inadvertently answer many questions of open inquirers.

I. Various Testimonies of Salvation As Well As Our Dealings With Those Who Have of Late Slandered, Not Us, But the Name of The Lord In Whom We Stand
We have been maligned and hated, but for the truth, and we do hereby, in the following effort, step forward to testify to the internet world. Below, and firstly, there are hyperlinked testimonies, both of salvation and of defense against certain false accusers, and sadly, some of those are our close kindred. Though we are sad, even shattered at heart, we are still glad in the Lord: “As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing” (2 Cor. 6:10). We must endure and hope for the God of truth to triumph in an age of venomous compromise, even as astonishing events unfold before all of our eyes which, doubtless, are at least preparatory for the Great “Falling Away” (2 Thess. 2:3) which was prophesied beforehand to come. With these testimonies we do ask, we plead, hear the right and judge the truth – if this be a work of God or no – “The word of our testimony.” | His Road Is Strait And Narrow: The Testimony of Daniel Pursley Concerning His Dealings With The Deans And His Exodus From The Modern Mega-church How God Saved a Pharisee: The Testimony of Chris Smith An Account of the Work of God in My Life And Dealings with My Carnal Family, Especially My Mother Susan Southworth By Justin Southworth The Testimony of Jordan & Nicole Fraker Concerning Jan Bard The Miraculous Guidance and Restoration of a Once Backslidden Christian Made Whole by Cory James McLaughlin A Mighty Work of God: The Salvation of Miranda The Wondrous Redemption of an Eleven Year Old by Carolyn Wiegand How God Saved Me and Led Me to A Biblical Church by Troy Dannenberger From Death to Life: The Salvation of a Sinner by Brett Michalk My Testimony by Autumn (Keyes) Trudeau Salt by Stephanie (Brasell) Bailey |
II. Extensive Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
In a generation that proves itself to be, generally speaking, contrary and resistant to the Spirit of God, it becomes the bounden duty for those to whom, like David, God “hath shewed light” (Psa. 118:27), to let that light so shine that all the house, long hidden in obscurity and seated in darkness, may be lightened thereby (let him that readeth understand what I say). Thus we have obliged ourselves, in Spirit, to write unto you the following statement in hopes to declare and clear ourselves on perhaps the foremost controverted of all of the doctrines which we have subscribed ourselves to in word and deed, in ink and blood. Yea, and we have so set our heart to obey the “voice behind us”, though it be often drowned in the flood of slander and libels cast upon us by the very mouth of that great dragon, that we have not only subscribed our lives, but our very deaths to it as well! Even as our Captain heard no more voice from heaven in his hour of temptation, but still could answer the affirmative, “It is written!” And when conducted up his final boulevard, with no ministering angel singing its divine sentences in his ear, but only mocks and jeers compassing him as skin the sinew; albeit, he set his face to the sacred mount with joy and desire burning to the very floor of his heart! Thus is our heart to stand with and for, not merely a doctrine, but with the very Person of truth, who deigns to take upon him the very title: The Truth. This is who we have avowed ourselves to. So with no more building of the porch, I will conduct you into the house, and pray you will not flee through the back door, or from a window, but rather stay awhile – handle the decorations, test the furniture, eat the food – and may we hear you say ere long, with Peter, “It is good for us to be here” (Matt. 17:4).
