Why these are here?

We keep these up not in order to wish anyone

any harm whatsoever.

But out of love for the body of Christ.

 

So many people are moving to these type of cultic

homeschool groups thinking that they have found a utopia.

There is no such thing.

 

We need to always go back to the word of God alone for truth,

not the self-propelled leaders of any agenda or group...

including homeschooling.

 

So many people have been duped as we were,

and get involved with these groups thinking that they

will be doing the right thing.

But instead they are indoctrinated slowly and incrementally

with a different gospel.

 

Their's is a gospel of taking dominion and

placing the Christian label on all things to bring

in Christ's kingdom.

That is not the gospel of the New testament.

 

Christ's gospel is telling people the good news

that they have a way to reach a holy God.

 Born dead in their sin they are separated from God.

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of

God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Each person must recognize the need for a Savior

to save them from the penalty and power of sin

over their lives. They must repent of their

sin, believe in and on Christ alone and His righteousness and

call upon His name to be saved.

 

Then they will desire to be baptized

and be discipled in all His ways according to

the New Testament which

is the New Covenant of Grace through Jesus Christ alone.

 

Many of the leaders of these movements

are not truthful. They change the very meaning of words.

They say they believe in repentance, and Christ alone.

Yet they teach a recitation repentance and corporate

relationship with God dependent upon the leaders.

Much of their religious ceremony is more like

Catholicism and very little like New Testament Christianity.

But it is deceptive and alluring.

 

The below documents were recorded to keep record

as a warning others. People from just about every

state have contacted us to say they didn't move

to this group and join after reading what we've

written or posted here.We stopped counting the

number of people who contacted us after fifty.

 

Personal apologies and repentance were never

evidenced by us from these people.

Only written letters for show to the public to

preserve their image so they could

continue to lure people to give money and move

to be a part of their group.

These were written to make them appear

repentant as they continued to slander,

lie and shun us and encourage others to do the same.

The repentance letters were required by the

denomination that defrocked them. But

it was a facade and not true repentance.

 

We don't care what they say at this point,

the Lord has been so good to us and we don't

believe in the things that group teaches nor feel any

need to answer to them for our belief in following Jesus

Christ and His word alone instead of their many teachings.

 

We certainly don't know all things or understand all

truth... but we do know where to find it and it is not

through these guys nor through groups like theirs.

 

We have moved out of that area now and the Lord

has been gracious to lead our family

and protect us through all this. We've learned a lot,

and if what we have learned and

gone through can help others to avoid it,

it is a blessing. God is always good and He

always works things for the good of those who

are His called out ones according to

His purposes. He alone should be followed

and praised, not men.

 

Please don't follow men or women.

Love others with the love of Christ,

but do not let them lead you away from God's word.

God's word is truth.

 

 We encourage you to read through the

New Covenant of Grace in the New Testament of your Bible

daily! It will renew your mind and teach you through all the

years of your life. It will also warn you of these groups which

are taking over in all areas they are able to these days, and

doing so using the name of Jesus Christ. Do not be deceived,

God is not mocked. What a man sows, that will he also reap.

Let the dead bury the dead~

You follow Jesus Christ!

 

 

 

Documents concerning the censure and shunning
of the John Austin family
by St. Peter Presbyterian Church

The documents linked here are PDF files. The most reliable way to read them is to download them to your computer (right-click on the link, then choose "Save as ..." from the menu and specify a filename and location) and then read them using Adobe Acrobat Reader.

In the spring of 2005, John and Julie Austin notified the session of St. Peter Presbyterian Church that they would be leaving. The session of the church responded on May 14, 2005 by censuring them: suspending them from the Lord's Table, instructing the congregation of St. Peter to shun the Austin family, and threatening the Austins with excommunication should they not repent and submit.

Should we expose false teachers?

 

Public Documents Concerning

the Defrocking of R.C. Sproul, Jr.

 and the Saint Peter Presbyterian Church Session:

A political written apology was sent in order to appease the Presbytery,

this was never followed with any actions that

showed any kind of repentance.  On the contrary others have been encouraged

to continue shunning and slandering after that fact.   

 

  None of this matters in the long run, except that people continue to follow

mere men who want to build their own kingdoms and call those the kingdom of Christ. 

We post this to warn others not to become involved in these movements,

but to instead, whole-heartedly be a follower of Christ alone. 

Live by His word and His Spirit's leading in the

life of the believer.  

 

Do not become a follower of a system, a form, a movement or a group... even if the appearance

seems good on the outside.  Satan comes as an angel of light to deceive. 

Instead, find Christian fellowship as the Lord brings it along the way. 

Jesus Christ must remain the only High Priest in a

believer's life.  The Bible warns about not following men, who are crafty in leading folks astray. 

As a friend stated:  "Let the dead bury the dead, you follow Christ".  Even if the majority

go after the celebrities and buy all their resources and flock to their conferences... reject that,

and live for the Lord.   You need Him, be content where you are.  Learn from our mistakes.

Show the love of Christ to all whom you come in contact with, but don't go with the flow...

it leads off the cliff.
