desires
to make known with absolute clarity of our love, and desire for
Christian unity – amongst all who are sincerely born from
above! For many years we have worked behind the scenes with many
true Charismatic - believers within the Roman Catholic church.
One of my best loved Prayer Partners – and regular speakers
at Church On The GO is Charismatic Leader – Brother Joe
Turco.
Over
the years many friendships and fellowship meetings filled with
the love of God, have been attended amongst very sincere Bible
believing, Holy Spirit filled Charismatic believers powerfully
Born From Above!

We
agree together in:
APOSTLES'
CREED:
I
believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and
earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was
conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He
descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the
Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the
dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.
To
that end, we declare it more important in WHOM we believe than in
WHAT we believe!
Chart
1: Four Interpretations of Revelation

For
many years I have personally wrestled with various positions –
concerning the End Times. I will be the first to admit that there
are extreme positions in every camp.
After
my long exhaustive studies, I have been led by the Holy Spirit to
this conclusion:
1.Preterism –
Back loads most of the Book Of Revelation – to the first
four centuries after our Lord Jesus Christ – lived, died,
rose again and ascended to heaven!
2.Historicism
– Is the most honest interpretation of God’s awesome
plan throughout the history – of the Kingdom of God!
Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today
and forever.” ESV Understanding only comes from
yesterday! For a thousand years in your sight are but as
yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. Psalm
90:4; The prophets have been speaking for a thousand years - do
we remember what they have said in the watch of the night? And we
have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will
do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place,
until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts …
2 Peter 1:19; ESV The lamp has been shining throughout the night
until … Today - interpretation is found in the present
truth - of God’s Word - by the Holy Spirit! 2 Peter 1:12;
KJV Tomorrow - Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and
forever.
3.Idealism –
Is regrettably not sincere – they never take a clear stand
on historical fulfillment!
4.Futurism –
Does not consider the Christian martyrs who have shed their blood
to give us the Bible and the Revelation we have today. What do
you know about the future? Do you know what happened yesterday?
You can interpret from the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit –
what is happening in - Today’s Present Truth. Futurism –
front loads all events into some distant future event, and
negates the sacrifice of previous generations and the truth of
GENERATIONAL BLESSING – in regards to the Gospel of Our
Lord Jesus Christ!

The
Long Standing Debate
by
Steve Wohlberg
The
Catholic-Protestant debate has continued for centuries since the
time of the milestone Protestant Reformation. Often this debate
becomes very heated and emotional because major issues are
involved. At the beginning of this new series called Catholic
Concerns, it is important to make a few points clear.
No matter which
side is right, a true Christian is required by Jesus Christ to
respect and love others, even his enemies. In fact, according to
Christ, one's ability to do this is proof that he or she is
really a true child of God (Matthew 5:44). We are also required
by God to put away "all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor,
and evil speaking," and to "be kind one to another"
(Ephesians 4:32). There is no excuse for slander, nor for the
manifestation of "any root of bitterness" (Hebrews
12:15). Jesus Christ, our example, even prayed for his
persecutors as He hung upon the cross. Truth has nothing to hide.
It can afford to be fair, and to look at all the evidence. Those
who resort to sarcasm and mockery do not strengthen their
position before any intelligent person.
In an age of
increasing inter-faith cooperation, many might inquire - Why
bring up these issues at all? Why not just put the past behind
us, bury our differences, and come together in Christian love?
This is a fair question that should be answered. First of all, as
I have already mentioned, Christians should love others no matter
what. And it's true, Jesus Christ Himself does want His children
to be united. In one of His last prayers before His death, Jesus
prayed that we "may be made perfect in one" (John
17:23). Nevertheless, there is something else in this prayer that
must not be overlooked. Jesus also said, "Sanctify them by
Your truth. Your word is truth" (vs. 17). Thus Christ not
only wants unity, but also sanctification through the truth. He
defines "the truth" as God's "word."
In our desire for
unity, we cannot afford to sacrifice truth. The Holy Spirit is
"the Spirit of truth" (John 16:12). God is "the
God of truth" (Isaiah 65:16). Christians are to "obey
the truth" (Gal. 3:1) and to be "purified" through
"the truth" (1 Peter 1:22). We are warned that many
"will turn their eyes away from the truth, and be turned to
fables" (2 Tim.4:4). And finally, we are even told that many
will "perish because they did not receive the love of the
truth, that they might be saved" (2 Thess. 2:10). Thus truth
is a life and death matter.
It is no secret
that the Roman Catholic Church claims to be the true Church of
Jesus Christ. She has definite reasons for believing this. She
also claims that the Pope is the legitimate Head of Christianity,
under Jesus Christ. In spite of ecumenical developments, Rome has
not relinquished these claims. The Vatican today is one of the
most powerful organizations on earth, and the Pope is also one of
the world's most influential individuals.
The purpose of
Catholic Concerns is to examine these claims in the light of "the
word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15). It hopes to be fair, honest,
and as objective as possible. Its primary goal is to help its
readers "obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with
eternal glory" (2 Tim. 2:10).

3: Historic Pre-Millennialism View of Jesus' Return:
 Above:
The World history of chart 2, including the Jewish tribulation,
is occurring in the “CHRISTIAN AGE” on the left.
Jesus returns at the first resurrection “R1” and the
wicked are destroyed, just as Noah's flood destroyed all who were
outside the ark. This includes the antichrist, or spirit of
betrayal. The righteous in Christ are saved, and remain to rule
with Jesus for a thousand years.
