1. To follow up with seekers who hear Gospel street-preaching 2. To expose and rebuke the sin of our nation (Isaiah 58:1) 3. To encourage those preachers who have a desire to go and preach “every where” and to go out “and preach that men should repent” (Mark 16:20, 6:12), and to preach the Gospel of Christ to sinners in public, as did the Lord Jesus Christ, Apostle Paul, and all other New Testament preachers.
WE HAVE COME TO WARN YOU: “...the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;” - I Thessalonians 1:7-9 “…who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” - Matthew 3:7 “…except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” – Matthew 13:5 _________________________________________ :: WHO WE ARE :: We are a group of men who were saved from our sins and eternal Hell by the power of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. We heard the Gospel preached from God's Word, the Bible. (I Corinthians 15:1-8) God, through that preached Word wrought saving faith in our hearts (Romans 10:8-17). We repented of our sins and found in Christ eternal life. We were wretched, Hell-deserving sinners who are now saved by the grace of God. We were saved at different ages and from different backgrounds. Some of us were religious lost church members. Some of us were pagan drug addicts and drunks. We have left our old lives of sin. We are now walking the same path, taking up our cross, and following the Lord Jesus. We are baptized members of local autonomous Baptist churches. We do the work of evangelism based out of our local church and under the authority of our pastors. We affirm that the King James Bible is the authoritative and preserved Word of God for the English speaking people, and reject all other English versions as watered-down counterfeits. The King James Bible was translated from the Received Text, using superior translation methods. It is the Preserved Word of God by which we were saved. :: THE GOSPEL WE PREACH :: 1. We preach Christ Crucified. (I Corinthians 1:23). Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God and Creator of all things, was God incarnate in human flesh. “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” I Timothy 3:16) Prophets of old foretold Christ' coming to earth (Isaiah 7:14), Prophets of old foretold Christ' salvation work on the cross (Isaiah 53) and Christ' glorious resurrection from the dead (Psalm 16:10, Isaiah 26:19). Christ died on a cross for sinners because GOD HATES SIN and GOD MUST PUNISH SIN (Romans 5:8). Christ, who had no sin (2 Corinthians 5:21) was crucified to pay the price for our sins. While dying on the cross, Jesus faced the holy wrath of God that we deserved. He suffered the consequences for our sin. As He died on the cross, Jesus purchased for us “ ... redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace…”(Ephesians 1:7) Jesus promised in His word: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:242. 2. We preach Christ Jesus the Lord. (2 Corinthians 4:5) As risen Lord, Jesus is Lord over all. (Acts 10:36) You must bow to Jesus as Lord and surrender totally to Him: “ ...at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:10-11) If you do not bow to Jesus as your Lord in this life you will bow to him on the Judgment day when you are sentenced to eternal Hell (Romans 14:11). But then, the day of salvation will be over. 3. Exposing False Gospels and False Prophets (Matthew 7:15, 24:11, II Peter 2:1, I John 4:1) “...there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” (Galatians 1:7-9) We will expose and rebuke any false “gospel” or watered-down version of the “gospel”. We will fight the perverse doctrines of “easy believism” and contemporary “Christianity”. We will expose and rebuke any “gospel” that dethrones God and exalts man, or that leaves a sinner living in his sin. All of these are counterfeit gospels and are not the Gospel of the Bible. This generation of young people in America is being deceived by men who preach a false gospel that leaves sinners living in their sin. The Jesus of the Bible saves men out of their life of sin and empowers them to live holy lives, submitted to His Lordship. We stand with God's Word AGAINST the Roman Catholic Church and believe it to be the "great whore" (Revelation 17:1, 19:2), and "THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." (Revelation 17:5) . Roman Catholicism is full of idolatry, including worship of Mary, dead saints, the pope, and graven images (Exodus 20: 4). The Roman Catholic Church is drunken with the blood of the saints (Rev 17:6, 18:24) whom she has slain in her bloody persecutions down through the ages. We stand with God's Word AGAINST so called "contemporary Christianity” and the mega-church movement. We declare Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, and any men like them to be "... false prophets... false teachers...who privily shall bring in damnable heresies..." (II Peter 2:1). These men preach a false Gospel that promises salvation without repentance. The Roman Catholic Church and the contemporary mega church movement claim to be “Christian” but they preach, and always have preached a false "gospel" and a false “Jesus” who is not the Jesus of the Bible (2 Corinthians 11:4, Galatians 1:8- 9).
Through prayer and study of His word, God endued us with a great burden to warn the apostate nation of America of the soon coming judgment of God that will be out-poured upon sinners. God called us to go to the streets and declare his divine ultimatum of repentance to this generation (Matthew 3: 1, Mark 16:20, Acts 2:14-40, 3:12-26, 17:22 etc...) . We will preach the gospel of “repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 20:21) to this wicked and untoward generation, realizing that, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” (Mark 16:16). America has rejected more Gospel light than any other nation on earth. America has flaunted her abominations in the face of the Holy God and God does not take it lightly. Darkness is swiftly falling upon our land (John 3:19). We will labor to WARN men of the soon coming JUDGMENT OF GOD…judgment that might fall upon this world at any moment; Judgment that waits to break forth as a mighty thundercloud; Judgment so severe, there will be no space left for you to repent after that judgment falls. We are calling on you to repent TODAY. (II Corinthians 6:2) We will preach this Gospel in the open air, market places, the streets, and any public place we can find a crowd. We will preach this message to those who want to hear it and those who don't. :: CONCERNING PUBLIC OPPOSITION TO GOSPEL PREACHING :: Scripture gives us no warrant to stop preaching the Gospel because certain governments forbid it or because men try to stop it. Christ commanded us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature (Mark 16: 15). Christ EXPECTED and PROPHESIED that His preachers would be hated, persecuted, jailed, tried, convicted and even killed for the Gospel they preach (Matthew 10:17- 22, John 15:20, 16:2,33). The Lord Jesus Christ was hated by men (especially religious hypocrites) for the message he preached in the Synagogues and in the open air. Jesus' very first public sermon enraged religious hypocrites so much they tried to kill him immediately (Luke 4:28-29). Wicked men tried many times to detain and kill the Lord Jesus because of the Gospel He preached (John 6:44, 8:37,59, 10:31,39, 11:8, 11: 57). They finally got their chance to arrest and kill Jesus when He willingly gave Himself into their hands to be crucified (Matthew 27:20, John 10:17-18, 19:11). John the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ, was jailed and beheaded for publicly rebuking the sin of King Herod. While preaching in the open air, John pointed out King Herod in the crowd and rebuked him for his adultery (Mark 6:18). As a result of his preaching, John was jailed by the King, and later lost his head at the chopping block. (Mark 6:25-28). The Apostle Paul, who is the pattern for New Testament Christians (I Timothy 1:16), was jailed many times while open- air street-preaching. (Acts 16:22-24, 21:30-22:30, II Corinthians 11:23-33). Six different riots broke out during Apostle Paul's open air ministry in the book of Acts. (Acts 14: 19, 16:19-22, 17:5-8,13, 19:25-34). Sometimes, the law enforcement would control the crowd as they ought to do, while Paul preached to the mob. At other times wicked governments arrested, jailed, and tortured Paul because he would not stop preaching the Gospel of Christ in the open air. Paul lost his life as a result of his preaching. No matter the behavior of the law enforcement, Paul never stopped preaching the Gospel at the command of wicked governments. We are constrained to obey GOD rather than MEN (Acts 5:29). We FEAR God more than men (Matthew 10:28). Therefore we will not stop preaching the Gospel in public even at the command of law enforcement. We have been mobbed, egged, spit on, threatened, cussed out, arrested, jailed, derided, mocked, scorned, ridiculed, and hated for the Gospel we preach and for His sake Who saved us. Each persecution comes with new joy and power from God. We have a Saviour and a Gospel worth dying for. THE INTIMIDATION TACTICS OF ANGRY SINNERS AND ANTI-CHRISTIAN LAW ENFORCEMENT CANNOT STOP THE GOSPEL WE PREACH. You may bind the messenger, but you will never stop the Message.
