Another minister who apparently finds it hard to understand the words of his ordination oath!

A Free Presbyterian minister affirms submission to the follow questions at his ordination.

Will you maintain with all the strength God shall give you the position on Biblical separation from apostasy as taken by the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster in 1951 at the time of its secession from the Presbyterian Church in Ireland?

As God helps you will you expose and resist the continued apostasy from Christ manifested within Irish Presbyterianism, Methodism, Episcopalianism and other visible church bodies; exhorting God’s people to obey the teaching and commandment of 1 Timothy 6: 3-5?

The following Facebook advert was sent to me . . . .

Moyrourkan True Blues Flute Band

Moyrourkan True Blues JLOL 144

Mark your calendars for Sunday 24th May.

The parade will leave Moyrourkan Orange Hall at 2:30pm, making its way to Clare Presbyterian Church for a service at 3:00pm.

The dedication service will be conducted by the Grand Chaplain of the Junior Grand Lodge, Deputy County Grand Chaplain, and Chaplain of Tandragee District, Wor. Bro. Rev. David McLaughlin.

 

How many more Free Presbyterian ministers are ready to stand in the pulpits of the apostate denomination and by their actions endorse ecumenism, liberal theology and encourage people to continue defying God by their support of denominations in rebellion against God’s Word?

I am convinced that when they are in such pulpits there is never a word spoken against ecumenism and apostasy!

Here is God’s command to all of His people.

“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty,”

2 Corinthians 6:17-18.

Entering the pulpit of a denomination in rebellion against God is much more than a TOUCH!

Will men not learn from the shaming debacle Rev Paul Thompson got himself into by such folly?

Such public articles as this is a doing of that which our Presbytery leadership is failing to do!

The present spirit of disobedience within our ranks have not gone unnoticed by the the Lord but rather it has “entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth,” James 5:4.

Even an ‘ass’ can see and understand the Lord’s opposition to what foolish men insist on engaging in!

Numbers 22:22-34.

“Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear,” 1 Timothy 5:20.
