State Of The Church


Pastor Ray has been involved in full time ministry for almost 30 years, and in that time he has observed many changes in the church as a whole. Listed below are some articles and links that pertain to the state of affairs in the church.

Articles Regarding the Assemblies of God

Sue As I Say, Don't Sue As I Sue
by Pastor Ray Barnett

Despite their theological stance against lawsuits, the AG doesn't seem to have a problem acting differently behind the courtroom doors. In this article Pastor Ray Barnett outlines how the AG doesn't practice what they preach when it comes to bringing brothers to court.

Amazing Letter To Southern Missouri District Credential Holders
by Bill Baker

Below is a copy of of a letter recently sent to AG credential holders in the Southern Missouri District. The letter ends with a blessing on the credential holders as they strive to to enhance the Kingdom of God, but the Kingdom sure feels a lot smaller nowadays with Southern Missouri credential holders being forbidden to attend a non-AG church. Sure seems paradoxal - "strive to enhance the Kingdom" and "no Assemblies of God credentialed minister in our district will be allowed to attend a non-Assemblies of God Church", just don't seem to go together.

Letter from The Southern Missouri District Superintendent to all [District] Credential Holders

Dated November 29, 2007
Dear Fellow Ministers:

We Trust the blessings of God are greatly upon each of you during this special Holiday Season.
In our October presbyters meeting a motion prevailed that no Assemblies of God credentialed minister in our district will be allowed to attend a non-Assemblies of God Church unless they are given permission by the Presbytery Board.

It was also moved that the District write a letter to those ministers that have been brought to our attention who are attending a non-Assemblies of God Church indicating it will be necessary for them to receive District Presbytery approval for them to do so, or their credentials will be in jeopardy.
If you or some credentialed minister in your church falls into this category, please comply or encourage them to follow through with this action.
May God continue to bless you and your family as together we strive to enhance the Kingdom of God.

Sincerely in Christ
Bill Baker
Superintendent
Southern Missouri District Council

The Transformation of the Assemblies of God - From Christian Brother to Big Brother - In Less Than 100 Years
by Pastor Ray Barnett

"The Transformation of the Assemblies of God - From Christian Brother to Big Brother - In Less Than 100 Years" is a new article written by Pastor Ray Barnett and chronicles the abuse of authority going on in the Assemblies of God today. Pastor's article is well documented and draws the compelling analogy between the current state of the Assemblies of God and a heavy-handed government described in a well known piece of American literature.

Trask Initiates Angry Diatribe at Reporter
by Jim Brown - American Family Radio News

A very angry Thomas Trask called me yesterday, claiming I was "doing a major disservice to the Kingdom" by interviewing Pastor Ray Barnett regarding the Adour debacle in the NY presbytery. He accused me of never contacting the AOG national headquarters before publishing so-called "lies" from Adour and Barnett. I let him know that I called his office twice requesting an interview on the matter, but I never heard back from them. Trask said since the denomination is so large they receive thousands of media inquiries like that every year and his secretary probably forget to pass the messages on to him. I told him that while he was on the line, we could do an interview and he could have his chance to explain why Adour and Barnett were dismissed.

Rick Warren's Global P.E.A.C.E. Plan vs. Scripture
by James Sundquist - RockSalt

This documentary contains urgent updates since my book Who's Driving the Purpose Driven Church? Both books are published by Southwest Radio Church (Bible Belt Publishers)

I would like to thank The Conservative Theological Journal for publishing two articles I wrote on Rick Warren's teachings in their August and December 2005 issues and their very favorable review of my book on Rick Warren's teachings.

There is another great book that just came out opposing Rick Warren by Pastor Bob DeWaay entitled Redefining Christianity (order it at www.twincityfellowship.com). He is also a colleague of mine. There are a number of pastors, ministries and authors throughout the world who are opposing Rick Warren, including Dr. John MacArthur, who exposed Warren in a chapter in his book called Fool's Gold. Dave Hunt, Jacob Prasch, Director of Moriel Ministries (UK), Richard Bennett, Perry Rockwood (Canada's oldest Christian national radio ministry), Roger Oakland, David Cloud, Dusty Peterson (UK wrote documentary exposing the Alpha Course), Cecil Andrews (TakeHeed Ministries in Ireland), Moses Yang, Pastor of Chinese Evangelical Seminary and churches throughout the world,Gary Kah, Despatch Magazine in Australia, Prophezine Magazine, Loren Davis (well known Evangelist in Africa), Richard Bennett (Berean Beacon and former Roman Catholic priest), Dr. Robert Klenck, Dean Gotcher, Berit Kjos (Kjos Ministries), Dr. Noah Hutchings, author of Dark Side of the Purpose Driven Church & Dr. Larry Spargimino of Southwest Radio Church (America's longest running Christian radio national program), and a host of others listed in my book and online, have all come out against Purpose Driven nightmare.

I have been on about a thousand radio stations, Southwest Radio, American Family Radio,VCY America, Dr. Kent Hovind's radio show exposing this fraud and related issues in the last few years, and was just on national broadcasts, including Dr. Stan Monteith, TheEdge, and the Berean Chronicles shows and will be bring out these revelations on Southwest Radio Church and other national publications and radio programs in the next few months as soon is this book on Warren's Global Peace Plan is in print. So I hope you join us in helping sound the alarm on His Holy Hill about Rick Warren's teachings and his Global Peace Plan and his partners of Christian Imperialism and Triumphalism. Thank you for being fervent in exposing the fraud in Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life book and programs. My hope is that Christian leaders would be as zealous and consistent in exposing Warren's PDL as they now are in exposing the fraud of the Da Vinci Code.
