Revived...Churches on Trial (audio)...7/18/87 (pt.1) Speaking in tongues, oral sex, homosexuality, Creationism, etc.

After a brief break in the "posting" of past Churches on Trial radio broadcasts, "We're back" with gladness! Today's post has a short interview (12 minutes) at the beginning but later into the show comes much depth of truth from the Holy Scriptures. Much truth... is brought out of the Old Testament records as God led in that direction.

How honored I am to "Revive" these past broadcasts that offer clairity to you the listener about the the important things pertaining to God's Word that cover the issues of our lives! Brother Lindsey made the person of Christ and Bible truth "real" to the listener.

This audio will cover Scriptural truth about speaking in tongues, why, how, etc. The subject of oral sex and strange lust was touched on. God's morality for the human family is the motive behind the Churches on Trial. God bless you all for sharing the truth of God's Word...with us. Glory to His name!

The suffering of our Christ

Jesus professed soul suffering in Matt 26:38...Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death:
"The soul of man is the part of man that chooses or decides."
The soul suffering of Christ was prophesied in the Old Testament by the Prophet Isaiah.

 Isa 53:12...because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; 

Could you imagine making the decision of going to Calvary for a cruel death of crucifixion?

Soul suffering took place before Calvary. Soul suffering was Christ's decision as a man...to do the will of the Father. Soul suffering humbled Christ to obedience...even the death of the cross.

Phil 2:8...And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.


Soul suffering "ceased" at Calvary. By the Grace of God...Christ's physical death paid the price to bring us a better covenant than the covenant of Law. Soul suffering and physical death ceased at Calvary. The Church was birthed! The ministry of the Holy Spirit was given! God's greatest morality was given to the human family by the Grace of God!

Heb 2:9-10...But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things,

Christ said, "It is finished".


John 19:30...When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.


Jesus never struggled as a man,"He was God in the flesh!" "Jesus' soul travailed as He suffered in obedience to the Father..to redeem humanity". Jesus had all power and authority! The expression that Jesus was in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights simply described His obedience unto (physical) death.

Jesus told the thief on the cross, "Today" you shall be with me in Paradise.


Luke 23:43...And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Paradise is Heaven! Paradise is the abode of the Father and Christ seated on their Thrones. Paradise is where the souls of redeemed saints go when their physical body is placed in the grave.

At death to the physical body...the redeemed soul goes to Paradise. All redeemed saints that go to Heaven will receive a glorified body as Christ's body was also glorified!

Luke 24:39-40...Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

No sensationalism! No mysterious trip to Hell! No Struggle or Battle with Satan over the keys! Just simply "Bible Truth" as it's written! Read it for yourself! Don't run wild with the opinions of men!

The object of a Christian...death to self.

In order to substantiate the "objective of a Christian" I must touch on the doctrine of progressive sanctification. The doctrine of progressive sanctification goes back to Martin Luther and John Calvin in the 15Th Century. That period was historically titled as the "Reformation" or the period of time that men protested the Roman Church and formed what we know today as the Protestant Movement. During that time frame doctrinal teachings from the Bible began to form and spread throughout the religious world. One of the most controversial doctrines that has ever plagued society in this present Church Age was the doctrine of progressive sanctification.

Sanctification through the Spirit is "not" and "never has been" a progressive work of the Spirit of God. Progressive sanctification is a misconception highly taught in the Modern Religious World and causes people to live a Christian life of defeat and failure to God. That teaching and it's total misconception began during the days of the Reformation and has continued even until now in 2009. The Bible doesn't teach the process of maturity that allows failure to God... it teaches sanctification that gives victory in the Spirit and makes men overcomers!

The work of the Holy Spirit in the human soul at Salvation, is not a progressive work. The "new birth" is instantaneous. Forgiveness of sins are instantaneous by trusting Christ alone! The Bible doesn't teach a progressive new birth nor does the Spirit of Truth teach such experience! Salvation is an experience caused from a new birth given from the power of God's Grace! God's instantaneous power of Salvation of the human soul thus gives the believer in Christ "power to do right". For the first time in life God's power of Grace changes fallen man morally... from sin to holiness of heart. A believer in Christ has new ways and a new standard of living that's called "right"...in the eyes of God.

The object of a Christian is not "maturity" as many are taught today. As a matter of fact the word maturity is not in the Bible. Maturity is a man made concept of a progressive work or a progressive achievement that a Christian can gradually acquire in this life. Human maturity takes away from the action of God's Salvation that morally changes man instantaneously. Maturity is a gradual process but Sanctification through the Spirit is not! Why? Sanctification is the action of God that comes in one stroke. Biblical Sanctification is the final work of the Spirit of God that rids the Christian of the inherited Adamic life. Sanctification is the Baptism with the Holy Ghost. Sanctification rids man of indwelling sin and totally possesses man's heart and soul with holiness of character and conduct. The Holy Spirit reveals the Saviour to the heart of a believer after the new birth, and thus shows the believer that he must die to self. Dying to self comes after the new birth. This death to self is the "object of a believer" in Christ...not his gradual maturity of becoming a better Christian. Progressive growth into the Spirit is not taught in the Bible. Progressive growth into the sanctified life is not taught in the Bible.

Like Salvation of the human soul the Baptism with the Holy Ghost is another Christian experience besides the new birth! The new birth is a sinner's experience. Both experiences are instantaneous according to the Bible. After a sinner receives Christ...the Holy Spirit shows this believer a still existing "old man". When the Old man is finally"put off" the Spirit of God sanctifies that heart instantaneously through the baptism with the Holy Ghost. The object of a Christian is to put off the Old man....not just the Old man's deeds. Death to the Old man is a Spiritual concept and the Christian objective. Maturity is a human concept that opens the door for man to get away from the truth of the Bible and the work of the Spirit. The process of maturity is a man made concept that oftentimes hinders many from experiencing a death to the Old man and the actual experience of the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire as taught in the Holy Scriptures.

You won't find the word maturity or the process of maturing in the Bible! You will find sanctification through the Spirit by the action of God. Both Salvation of the soul and the Baptism with the Holy Ghost are taught Biblically to come at one stroke of the hand of God! Read it for yourself! Study your Bible! Don't take man's word for it! Please God! Find the truth within His Holy Scriptures.
