Well , it was my assumption.
due to many other denominations are doing just that..........
I am of no church denomination.
as I read the bible by grace, daily..............
it was so sad when I went to visit many churches.....
the people were kind.......but the doctrine had such emptiness........
I did manage by research to find a group that held to the true biblical pattern.
one of its leaders had this to say.
He admits that at first while in the catholic church
he was lazy and did not study the scrips, but did as much of them did back in those
days, led a wordly life.
but then one day..........he began to question WHY some rejected certain doctrines
his church taught...........
so , by admission of his own mouth he said
I began READING the HOLY SCRIPS for myself.................and it did not take
long to realize.......we had been deceived.........
tis why I too have with much effort tried to get so many to just read that bible.
the man later joined the group which the church had persecuted so.........
they had the RIGHT mindset......I tested their doctrine and life style
it was in pure agreement with the HOLY scrips......I mean it truly was......
this group was right on.....though not all in it were like it
some actually picked up arms and gave it a bad name....
but without any doubt..........this group was Right on.......
and this man would later join this group.
the man.................MENNOS SIMMONS the group Anabaptist.

but sadly our brother in the LORD who is long been at rest
would roller over more than once if he saw what many of this group have done...
WHY cant we just FOLLOW CHRIST and the PATTERN he taught.
I am sure their are still faithful men and women in this group.
I once considered joining them. still might, due to what I am about to explain.
AND This was awesome.
I had come to the POINT of knowing they were right
then one night ...................as I prayed to GOD
I wanted to be sure , due to I had also had very specific dream.
first let me tell the dream.
in the dream, I was walking through corn fields
I came up to a lady, I noticed the corn was in patches here and their
SHE told me............WE USED to have FIELDS full of corn.........
which I knew meant EVANGELIZING and truly following CHRIST
I then went into a shed where they were selling the corn
for twenty five cents an ear...........but I was adamant about paying then more
a dollar, due to I wanted to help them.
not too long after the dream
I prayed to GOD...............I wanted to be sure THIS was OF HIM
and that if he meant for me to go to them.
so I was very specific............
I prayed and said...........LORD if this be of YOUR WILL
then tomorrow let TWO of them come into my store, and if not then don't.
now ............they had NEVER been in my store......
and I was asking it be sure ,
THE very NEXT day.............TWO MENNONITES came into my store.
ps.....I live in TEXAS .........
I KNOW that their is a reason , I don't know why............but their must be.
the Anabaptists were once RIGHT ON
I mean RIGHT ON..................where luther , calvin and Zwingli had failed
in part...........THE ANABAPTISTS did not...........they had it RIGHT...........they had it RIGHT ON

Let us be followers of Christ....
no supporting war
no self defense
praying for enemies
warning , correcting
the pattern HE showed .
The pattern of marriage
all of HIS sayings right on the heart.
His kingdom was and is NOT of this world.
the sayings of JESUS are pure honey to the taste......
be blessed and praise the Lord.
