501c3 EVIL DEVICE

but such as keep
the law contend with them.”

Chuck Baldwin 501c3 Government Takeover of the Church
| Pastor Chuck
Baldwin Discusses 501c3 Churches with Alex Jones
A true Biblically based church should
not be a 501c3 state incorporated entity. The church was founded by Jesus
Christ not the state, not Caesar. Jesus is Lord not the state. To
incorporate is to deny the Lordship of Christ and this 90% of local churches
have done in order to grow their church like a business. God's flock is a
small remnant despised and persecuted because of their worship of Jesus
Christ as Lord and their willingness to preach against all forms of statism.
Most 501c3's will not speak out against politically incorrect matters.
Sold Out 501C3 Preachers
A
501C3 State-licensed organization is NOT a church.
The local New Testament Church may operate under the umbrella of a 501C3
organization as a tax-exemption tool, but no State-licensed entity could
ever be a New Testament Church. A local church is a called out assembly of
born-again believers for the purpose of doing God's work...
A church's purpose:
(1) Exalt the
Savior
(2) Evangelize the Sinner
(3) Edify the Saints
Now listen carefully! The purpose of a church
is not to escape paying taxes through a 501C3 financial scheme
by agreeing to remain silent while your trusted government leaders
rob you blind for
tens-of-trillions of dollars, covets Iraq's oil,
send our children in the military to go
die stealing that oil, bear false witness
against Iraq, kill over a
million innocent Iraqi's who defended their own oil and then
steals trillions of dollars more worth
of Iraq's oil—all in an unprovoked war. And if that's not bad enough,
now we've taken over their country in Iraq, have installed our own puppet
government and Iraq is wholly owned and controlled by the Global elite
permanently. And Bush seems to think it's all a
big joke.
Every pastor ought to hopefully consider
himself a preacher too. A minister means a servant. God calls men to be His
servants; but every Christian is expected to contend for the faith, go
soul-winning, and fight the good fight of faith. God doesn't call anybody to
preach the Gospel, because that is every believer's duty (Proverb 11:30;
Luke 8:15; Romans 15:15). Hell burns with fire for all eternity. I don't
understand why anyone would be so lazy as to attempt to push off
soul-winning only for ministers and full-time Christian workers.
This is one of the biggest challenges which we
face today as Bible-believing Christians, and that is, convincing other
believers that they have a responsibility to share the Gospel to win souls
to Christ. Literally, the Bible wants us to go “fetch” souls to Christ that
they might be saved. “Fetch” is what the word winneth in Proverb
11:30 means... He that winneth souls is wise. The word also
means “to take.” We cannot take anything materialistic out of this world;
but we can take the souls which we led to Jesus Christ. Amen! We plant the
Seed of God's Word, and perhaps someone else waters that Seed, and then
hopefully someone has the blessed opportunity to lead that person to
salvation in the knowledge of Christ Jesus; but only God gives the increase
(1st Corinthians 3:6).
Only God's Holy Spirit can cleanse a person's
sins away and give unto them eternal life. Only though Jesus. So it's not a
race to the finish to see who can pass out more Gospel tracts. Maybe I
didn't plant the initial seed and maybe I won't have the privilege to lead
you to the Lord; but if I can say a statement or teach you one thing or two
that helped you, then I had a part in God's work.
Each believer should be a spiritual gardener,
continually sowing new seeds and watering and nurturing seeds with the Word
of God and a heart of love and understanding toward others. Hopefully one
day we or someone else will have the opportunity to lead that person to the
Lord. Until that time, all we can do is pray, be compassionate; but never
make the mistake of buying into Satan's lie that you have to dip your sails
in compromise, or hide the truth as to avoid offending them. If they're
offended by the truth, then let them be. That is the way it is supposed to
be! Truth always leads to revival or riot!
And your henpecked pastor legally cannot say a
word or else he'll risk losing the church's 501C3 exempt status. It should
be very clear to you Christian leaders why such tax-havens for churches were
invented in the first place, that is, to silence the churches!!! No wonder
God hates wicked inventions. Proverb:14:17, “...and a man of wicked
devices is hated.” I simply couldn't accept a 501C3 state-sanctioned
license, because I would be exposing their crimes from sun-up to sun-down as
any concerned U.S. citizen should do.
Although I don't agree with his Muslim beliefs
at all, Malcom X had it right when he taught African-Americans the way to
get what they wanted...
MAKE SOME NOISE!
America needs voices!!! Everyone has a voice, in some capacity, in some
area... MAKE SOME NOISE FOR GOD!
SPEAK THE TRUTH!!! I mean, someone needs
to investigate the disappearance of hens from the henhouse besides the
wolves. I laughed when I head that the original 911 commission was going to
be headed up by Henry Kissinger. What an insult to anyone who remembers
history during the Nixon years and beyond. Kissinger defines evil. Millions
of Cambodians are going to be avenged in eternity for the war crimes against
them under the Nixon administration. Kissinger was pulled away quickly and
someone else chosen to lead the
investigative committee.
It is a sad day in America when pastors are
supportive of wicked leaders. Proverb 28:4, “They that forsake the law
praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.” It
doesn't surprise me that a preacher who denies the inspiration of the King
James Bible, would also praise President Obama. Proverb 28:4 tells us why.
They have forsaken the Word of God to serve wealth (mammon). They're seeking
favor rather than pursuing and preaching THE TRUTH. Oh sure, they preach
from the Bible, but it has become a secondary issue to them. Money comes
first. The inspiration of the King James Bible is not an issue worth
fighting over to them, but retaining their ministry's tax-exempt status
certainly is.
Tens-of-thousands of America's shameful pastors
have joined the government's Clergy
Response Teams, having sold out to the Devil, daring not to speak out
against the blatant crimes and treason being committed by our nation's
highest leaders. It is apostasy! God pity the golf-club pastor who is too
big a coward or a greedy sellout to stand against crimes in government.
Thank God for Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980) who courageously stated...
"So, as an honest Bible preacher,
obeying the plain commands of God, I must speak out against
corruption and immorality. Waste, corruption, the taking away of
men's freedom and the seizing of men's property, these sins every
honest preacher must condemn and every honest Christian must
disavow.
...On
moral matters where right and wrong are involved, and where the
Bible clearly speaks, many preachers have so compromised and
sold out, and are so afraid of their congregations, that they
cannot give the clear Word of God. God pity the preacher who is
afraid to preach against sin just because somebody will cry
'politics'!"

In June of 2011 President Obama stated at a

“I believe that gay couples deserve the same
legal rights as every other couple in this country,” the president said
at a Manhattan fundraiser, his first geared specifically to the gay
community.

The small group of criminal men who have taken
over our federal government (it's called an “oligarchy”) are recruiting men
of influence and power across the nation, through numerous subtle means;
making those men feel honored, as if they are being asked to become a part
of the gang (and they are). It's the age-old saying... Keep your friends
close, and your enemies CLOSER!!!!
No one has a right to be immoral. I would never
deliberately be unkind to anyone, certainly not to a homosexual; but I would
be disobeying God to remain silent about such a horrible sin as
homosexuality when it is being paraded up and down the streets of America.
It is nothing to be proud of Biblically. The issue is NOT about my opinion
at all; but rather, what the Commandments of God tell us in the Scriptures.
God Don't Make Mistakes
...There's no such thing as
being born gay!

Church 501c3 State
Licensing Is Unbiblical
by
Pastor Chuck Baldwin
By accepting 501c3 status, America’s churches have effectively become
state-licensed or state-sanctioned organizations. In much the same way that
churches in Communist China risk vindictive state sanctions for not
complying with state control, so, too, churches in the United States risk
vindictive IRS sanctions for not complying with state control.
What is more than interesting is the comparison between the churches in
China and the churches in America. In China, Christianity is growing
exponentially. In fact, there are now more Christians in China than there
are communists. Please carefully read this report:
“Though the Chinese
Communist Party is the largest explicitly atheist organization in the
world, with 85 million official members, it is now overshadowed by an
estimated 100 million Christians in China. It is no wonder Beijing is
nervous and authorities are cracking down on Christian groups.
“Christianity is growing so fast in China that some predict that it will
be the most Christian nation in the world in only another 15 years. By
far, the greatest growth is coming outside the official state-sanctioned
churches, which are rightly considered subservient to the Communist
Party. Numbers are increasing, rather, in unofficial Protestant ‘house
churches’ and in the underground Catholic church.” Source: Breitbart.com
Did you get that? Let me repeat it: “By
far, the greatest growth is coming OUTSIDE [emphasis added] the official
state-sanctioned churches, which are rightly considered subservient to the
Communist Party [state]. Numbers are increasing, rather, in UNOFFICIAL
[emphasis added] Protestant ‘house churches’ and in the UNDERGROUND
[emphasis added] Catholic church.”
But what do we see happening in the United States? Christianity is waning
BIG TIME. On the whole, churches are in steep decline. For the most part,
only the entertainment-oriented, circus variety churches are growing. The
numbers of Americans professing Christianity in general and expressing
loyalty to a specific church or denomination are at historic lows. And the
trend for 2015 and beyond is more of the same.
The difference is, in China, Christians understand that to be loyal to
Christ, they MUST NOT SUBMIT to state-sanction or license. And they are
willing to defy Beijing authorities in order to be faithful to that
conviction. However, in America, pastors and churches insist that they MUST
SUBMIT to state control—even using Romans 13 to justify this preposterous
position. Bottom line: state-sanctioned churches in America are withering,
while non-state-sanctioned churches in China are mushrooming. There is no
doubt that the trend in both countries will continue into and beyond 2015.
The above is from my column dated January 1, 2015. The column is entitled,
"Where Will 2015 Take Us?" And the above is only a small sample of what's in
the column. I hope you will read it and share it.

Note
by webservant of Jesus-is-Savior.com - The 501c3 organization is a state
matter, which has nothing to do with the church itself. A legitimate church
may operate under the umbrella of a 501c3 organization, if they so choose,
but being a 501c3 organization does not validate a biblical “church” (a
church is a called out gathering of born-again believers). State-run
churches are wrong! I am against state-licensing of the churches. I love and
support Pastor Steven Anderson. I have posted an article that he wrote below
about 501c3 licensing for you to read. I agree in part with what he says,
but I also want to point out a couple things that I have a problem with.
First, Pastor Anderson's church
is NOT 501c3, which I think is the way to go. However, he criticizes others
as "false accusers" for criticizing churches that are 501c3 licensed. That
seems hypocritical to me.
Second, a major problem in
America today is that pastors and churches are selling-out to the New World
Order. They are buying into the Devil's counterfeit Bible versions. They are
buying into the counterfeit present-day fraud of manmade Israel. They are
buying into the deception of
accepting the agenda of the ungodly perverse LGBTQ community. They are
being deceived on many levels, buying into the heresy of Lordship Salvation,
and turning from sins to be saved. Pastor Anderson thankfully preaches
against all these woeful evils, yet he falls short when it comes to 501c3
licensing. Respectfully, Brother Anderson downplays the issue as a mere
matter of paperwork, but is it? You decide dear reader. My humble opinion is
that state licensing of churches is a step toward
state-run churches like we see in China today. It is a disturbing trend.
The average Sunday morning
church service today is nothing more than a Christian happy hour!
Pastor Charles Lawson Hypocritically Says Sodomites Should
Die, But
Also Says Local Pastor and Sheriff Grayson Fritts Can't Say That!
Preachers are running scared of the media and the government. In a healthy
society, the government fears the people who empower them. Our U.S.
government has grown so big that they are no longer accountable to the
people, and it is now open-season on We The People! The Bible foretold of
these "perilous times" as we near the end times (Matthew 24; 2nd Timothy
3:12). I love Brother Anderson and am not criticizing him. I value his
opinion and wanted to share his views with you, to follow...

501c3 Tax Status and
False Accusers
by Pastor Steven L. Anderson
Faithful Word Baptist Church is not 501c3, but I am sick and tired of good
men of God being falsely accused and railed on for something that is not
mentioned in the Bible and doesn't matter. The legalities of running a
church (or of running a business for that matter) are very complicated, and
pastors are just trying to do the best they can to figure out all this
complicated paperwork and run their church legally.
Contrary to what you will read on the internet, there is nothing about 501c3
status that hinders pastors from preaching any part of the Bible. Are there
pastors that are afraid to preach some parts of the Bible? Of course.
However, it is because they are cowards, not because of some paper on file
with the IRS.
501c3 is just a certification that a church is really a church, and that 95%
of its activities are religious, educational, and charitable, as opposed to
political. A church that is 501c3 certified can influence politics, but they
are only allowed to spend 5% or less of their money and resources on trying
to influence elections. Why in the world would any man of God want to even
spend that much time on it?! I personally don't even vote, let alone try and
spend more than 5% of God's time and money trying to influence our country's
fake elections between two candidates that are both of Satan.
Why don't people get fired up about something that is actually biblical?
Don't believe everything you read on the internet, folks. Just because a
church is 501c3 doesn't mean they are "controlled by the government, not a
New Testament church, controlled by the IRS, etc." Those are all lies
disseminated by cult-like churches that want to claim that they are the only
legitimate churches, and that everyone else is of the Devil. If churches are
censoring their preaching, that is a problem. Which chapter of the tax code
they fall under is not the problem.
Although 501c3 tax status is not mentioned in the Bible, here is something
that is mentioned: being a false accuser, which is a major sin. The word
"devil" literally means "false accuser." People going around saying that any
501c3 pastor is a "creature of the state, government puppet, FEMA pastor,
false teacher, IRS stooge, antichrist, etc," are false accusers who are
bearing false witness against brothers in Christ. It is amazing to me how
people have no fear of blaspheming, maligning, and falsely accusing men of
God over a paperwork issue that is not even mentioned in the Bible! If they
were actually reading their Bibles, they would be reading about how grievous
it is to be a false accuser, not about IRS issues, which God doesn't even
care about.

Brother Lester Roloff Homes: The Attack
Against The Family
Woe To
State Churches:
Obtaining Corporation Status
(501c3) is Against God
The word "church" is not meant to refer to any physical building, but
refers to the worldwide body of believers in Christ. The word "church" (ecclesia
in Greek - called out ones) does not refer to any organization, no matter
it's name or legal status. Keep that in mind when reading this article.
It is time for Christians to wake up and turn back to God. We need to turn
to the Lord and repent of our sins that we have committed against Him. We
need to ask for forgiveness of tolerating idolatry that removes His
Sovereignty over His Church. To see that the Church is in grave danger we
must have a clear understanding of what a corporation is. We also need to
realize what the courts have ruled about corporations and that a
corporation has no rights, only privileges, granted by the "estate." To
become a corporation removes the authority of the Lord over a corporate
church and puts it under the bondage of man's law.
According to man, The State is Sovereign over its Corporations
1. "A corporation is a creature of the state. It is presumed
to be incorporated for the benefit of the public. It receives certain
special privileges and franchises and holds them subject to the laws of the
state and the limitation of its charter. Its powers are limited by law. It
can make no contract not authorized by its charter. Its rights to act as a
corporation are only preserved to it so long as it obeys the laws of its
creation. There is a reserved right in the legislature to investigate its
contracts and ascertain if it has exceeded its powers" (Hale v. Henkel,
201 U.S. 43)
2. "[A corporation is] an artificial person or legal entity created by or
under the authority of the laws of a state. An association of
persons created by statute as a legal entity.... The corporation is distinct
from the individuals who comprise it (shareholders).... Such an entity
subsists as a body politic under a special denomination, which is regarded
in law as having a personality and existence distinct from that of its
several members." Black's Law Dictionary West Publishing Company,
1991; 6th Edition, page 340.
3. "A corporation derives its existence and all of its powers from the
State and, therefore, has only such powers as the State has conferred
upon it. Power is used here to mean the legal capacity to execute and
fulfill the objects and purposes for which the corporation was created, and
the source of this power is the charter and the statute under which the
corporation was organized." Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith
and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 796.
A corporation derives its existence and all of its power from the
State. The church on the other hand was created by and is the body
of Christ. We belong to Him and we are subject to Him and His Laws. The
source of any church's power is supposed to be the Holy Spirit; it's
authority to function solely from God.
4. "Corporate existence is a privilege granted by the sovereign upon
compliance with specified conditions" Len Young Smith and G. Gale
Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company,
1966, page 931. .
5. "Corporations are not citizens.... The term citizen... applies only to
natural persons... not to artificial persons created by the legislature"
Paul v. Virginia, 8 Wall. 168, 177; see also the Opinion of Field, J.,
in the Slaughterhouse Cases, 16 Wall.36,99 The Word of God teaches us that
Christians, His Holy Church, are citizens of the household of God
(Eph.2:19).
6. Every corporation has obtained a charter from the State of Incorporation.
This charter is simply permission to exist given to the corporation
(by the State!) without which, its operations would be considered
illegal. In addition to the charter are the articles of incorporation: "The
objects or purposes for which a corporation is formed are expressly stated
in its articles of incorporation, which delineate in general language the
type of business activities in which the corporation proposes to engage"
Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page
798.
7. "Instances of non-profit corporations are educational institutions,
athletic clubs, library clubs, fraternities, sororities, hospitals, and
organizations which have exclusively a charitable purpose" Smith
and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 789.
(Note: The purpose of the church is not "charity," nor is it's purpose
exclusively charitable. Charity should be a function of every church,
but is certainly not it's purpose. Offering worship to God, evangelism to
the lost, and the fellowship and equipping of the saints are among
church's exclusive purposes.
