The process culminating in this public video has been unpleasant. Nevertheless, processes and robust disagreements such as this are vital for the body of Christ if we are to be built up in love and healed from our iniquity. This is especially the case if brothers refuse to listen.
Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-5; 4:7-9; 1 Corinthians 16:13; Ephesians 5:11; 22-33; Hosea 7:1
This video is also a public demonstration of obeying Matthew 18:15-20 when brothers have serious grievance with other brothers. It is my obedience before God as my witness and specifically Matthew 18:17 having been ignored and cancelled by Elim’s senior leadership in the U.K.
This video is a public call to repentance, both of Bethel church and all churches in the Body of Christ who have embraced Bethel’s theology, practice and wider influence. But it also specifically calls the charismatic Elim network of churches in the U.K. to repent of their failure to discern truth from error and for failing to relate with my recent correspondence about this issue.
Within this session I provide further evidence of Bethel’s unbiblical theology/practice as well as full disclosure of all my correspondence with senior leaders within the Elim network of churches in the U.K. about this issue.
My rationale for this is to demonstrate:
- My own personal weaknesses as a man
- The immaturity of Elim’s senior leadership that is unwilling or incapable (or both) of having robust disagreement for the sake of biblical truth and the glory of God.
Once again, Elim must either issue a public statement of repentance or one of clarity that biblically defends their association and promotion of Bethel’s students, theology and practices.
It is the sheer kindness of God that leads us to repentance and the stupidity of man that would disregard such a free gift.
God is our witness. We must act like men.
