The Authority of the Church by David J. Stewart

Yesterday I listened to two sermons by Pastor Jessie Delewski of Bible Believers Fellowship, that have fueled an anger in me I find difficulty in venting! The enormity of instances and sickening examples to state to be so very many, one doesn't quite know where to begin!!

Indeed, the disgusting subject to infuse such revulsion in me would have to be Matthew "WOLF-IN-SHEEP'S-CLOTHING" Furan!

I thought a good night's sleep would do the trick to allow that I ponder the facts to disclose, yet, they all seem to have incredible relevance, and I do intend in stating them here, although I doubt I be able to finish this today, March 14, 2011.

The incredibly amazing fact remains that NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON OF WORTH HAS COME FORTH TO DEFEND THIS PIECE OF SLIME! NOT A ONE!! AMAZING!! Indeed, when I this mentioned before, I got a barrage of "anonymous" messages within a 36-hour period, the anonymous to be no other than the piece of slime in question!

I have gotten "into it" on my YouTube Christian channel and can always count on my brothers and sisters in Christ to come to my defense, WITHOUT MY ASKING! When one idiot announced that if I did not take down a response I had given regarding the worthlessness of the NIV on a video, he would post a request on his channel for people to harass me! Not only did none of his diminutive viewership contact me, but, as I had told him, my reputation preceded any imbecility anyone could ever attach to me, and a brother made a video further embarrassing the fool! I thank and praise God for such true brothers and sisters in Christ!

But, listening to Pastor Jessie Delewski's sermons, INCREDIBLY MONUMENTAL SERMONS, I have come to realize this fool could not have done and do what he does without help, help he gets from the two so-called deacons, elders! Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 1 Corinthians 15:33 And Pastor Jessie's sermon fully well affirms the MOST UNETHICAL relationship that Matthew Furan has with these!

Ah! These sermons are a real "How to be a decent God-fearing pastor (bishop) and deacon!" It left me breathless for the ample teaching that the word of God does regarding this, yet, LYING, FILTHY, CONNIVING THIEF that Matthew Furan is, HE HAS TWISTED GOD'S TEACHING TO FIT HIS EVIL AND DIABOLICAL FILTHY LUCRE DESIGNS, through the most disgusting aid given him by these two, Charlie Slack (the one who promised to call me back and never did, on Sept. 29, 2010), and Harry Allen! SHAME ON THESE TWO! I WANT TO THROW UP just remembering the times that Matthew Furan has, FROM THE PULPIT, stated while smacking his lying lips to have sumptuous dinners at the Allen's house! THIS TO BE CONTRARY to guidelines provided right in the word of God for any in such a position!

Ironically, it is no different in civilian or political life, where the APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY is to be curbed at all cost! (A good example of this is the AFL-CIO Head Boasting of Multiple Visits to the Barack Obama's White House!) Fools cannot contain themselves, and gloat of their improprieties; Matthew Furan to embody the most ignorant of these! One only need give him rope and he will hang himself quite quickly! His words the most damnable evidence against him... unless one gets to see the financial records of the Calvary Baptist Church of Niagara! Then, I have no doubt, there be so many fingerprints of more than one thief to be found!

After listening to Pastor Delewski's sermons, I was boiling! I thought I'd sleep on it, and today I researched further in the Jesus-is-Savior.com site which I use, extensively! An amazing thing is that, when the word of God is followed to a "t," seldom is there a discrepancy to be had between the Fundamental King James Bible believers! This is a truly amazing statistic!

A couple of weeks ago I had already read a sermon by Jack Hyles I had meant to post but never got around to it! Oh! He never fails to come right down to the point, either!

After listening to Pastor Delewski's sermons, I went into this fool's site and found it revamped, again! He is consistently wiping out sermons which he will be preaching again,... and again,... and again!! too lazy to come up with new material!!

I immediately saw this one, which, I am sure, is about to be gone, so, download and listen to it just for the sake of comparison! I was only too sickened by it!

Here, you reader, compare it with just what the Jesus-is-Savior site has! Tomorrow I will post Pastor Jessie Delewski's sermons! These, you will see, are in full agreement with what Jesus-is-Savior.com states, a veritable blueprint for pastors and deacons!

He likes to show that he has been in the military and is simply unable to facilitate a civilian's search for a sermon by putting up the date in civilized fashion! The above date is quite obvious, but, for those who are not used to it, it gets confusing when the day is earlier than 13.

The Authority of the Church

By David J. Stewart

"Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples [examples] to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away." —1st Peter 5:2-4 The Authority of the New Testament Church is the Word of God. Jesus is called THE WORD OF GOD in Revelation 19:13. Jesus is the FOUNDATION of the New Testament Church... "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ" (1st Corinthians 3:11). Jesus is the Authority of the New Testament Church.

Jesus is the Living Word of God and the Bible is the Written Word of God... "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth" (John 1:1,2,14). Jesus is the Word of God incarnate.

The Bible is the believers FINAL AUTHORITY on all matters. This is the insurmountable difference between Christianity and all other religious beliefs, teachings, dogmas and philosophies. People frequently ask me why I think my beliefs are correct over other people's beliefs. I readily explain to them that everything I believe is based upon the premise that the Bible is God's Word. That's why I believe the way I do. My entire perception of everything I believe is from a strict Biblical perspective. The King James Bible is God's inspired, inerrant, preserved Word. I am as narrow-minded as the King James Bible!

The Church is Not a State Licensed Organization

The Church is a group of "called out believers" who assemble in Jesus' name (Matthew 18:20). Anytime a group of born-again believers assemble together, a local New Testament Church has formed. [THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE!!] The idea of a universal (i.e., Catholic) Church is not taught in the Scriptures. Certainly, every believer is a part of the overall Body of Christ; but a distinction must be made between the Body of Christ and the local New Testament Church which Jesus began in His earthly ministry. There is NO universal church today. All believers throughout history will be gathered together for the first time at the Rapture (1st Thessalonians 4:14-18; 1st Corinthians 15:51-54). The Rapture could happen at any moment. Even so come Lord Jesus! The Bible teaches a local New Testament church based upon the early church in the book of Acts and the Epistles. God has given us an example to follow in the Scriptures.

Philemon 1:2 speaks of having a church in one's home... " [Another very important detail!!] And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the CHURCH IN THY HOUSE." Again we read in Colossians 4:15... "Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and THE CHURCH WHICH IS IN HIS HOUSE." You don't need a government license to Biblically start a church in your home. You don't need a big building with chandeliers, padding carpeting, a pulpit, a choir, pews and an altar. Your home can be a church if it's a gathering place for Christians who desire to study the Word of God, win the community to Christ, contend for the Christian faith, stand against the evils of society, help the fatherless and widows, and fellowship with other likeminded believers. But remember, to be a church the Final Authority must be the Word of God.

501C3 State Licensing Brought Evil Into Our Nation—Silencing Our Pastors About Blatant Government Crimes, tyranny and Housing Theft.

Churches in America are by law required to obtain a 501C3 State License to operate legally. This is unbiblical. [YET, Calvary Baptist Church is a 501c3 church and HAPPY TO BE THERE!! Matthew Furan was quick to tell me that when I brought the CD/DVD Duplicator in "You should have told me, and I would have given you a number and you would not have dad to pay any taxes!"] It is not the government's place to approve or disapprove the existence of a church. The true agenda behind the 501C3 program was to cripple and silence America's preachers against government crimes, tyranny and massive theft of taxpayer dollars.

By applying for a license, permission is being sought to start a church. We don't need the government's permission to form a church. The Church is not a business organization, although it may legally function as one, with elected or appointed officials who manage it. But the state licensed organization is NOT the New Testament Church. A New Testament Church is a group of local believers in the community who gather together in Jesus' name for the work of soulwinning (Acts 20:20), helping the fatherless and widows (James 1:27) and edifying one another in the Lord (1st Thessalonians 5:11).

So any state recognized religious organization that is not preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ is NOT a Biblical church; and any religious group that is not composed of born-again believers is NOT a church in any sense of the term. America is saturated with licensed religious organizations, so-called "churches," that aren't even operated by Christians. Consider the Mormon Church, which is NO church at all. They are unbelievers who openly deny the deity of Jesus Christ. Just because the state gives them a license doesn't make them a church in God's eyes. Mormonism is a sex-cult, founded by sexual-degenerate Joseph Smith in 1830. The Church is NOT an organization.

Man Has NO Authority in the Church Sadly, the authority in many churches today is an arrogant board of directors, a greedy pastor, a pompous pulpit committee or some other power-hungry governing body. Anytime men are in charge instead of the Word of God; you don't have a church, you have a cult.

The Bible gives us basic instructions concerning what church leadership is supposed to be like...

Here are FOUR Biblical principles on church leadership:

Soul-winning is Not a Method of Church Building; It is a Command

This is very interesting. God wants us to be active soul-winners (Proverb 11:30); not church planters. There are many people who go around the country starting churches, but God commanded us to go soul-winning (and never once to go start churches). There's nothing wrong with starting new churches; but what we must beware of is getting caught up into building ministries rather than publicly evangelizing the community with the Gospel, going door-to-door as the early Church did in Acts 20:20 (they had a 20/20 vision for the Lord). [An expensive donated by me and two other people CD/DVD Duplicator for the purpose of duplicating sermons with which to go soul-winning, SAT, UNUSED FOR ONE ENTIRE MONTH while this piece of slime was acquiring an unnecessary couch and pictures for the entry that was already beautiful with old historic pictures of the church's beginnings, which were dumped in some closet WITHOUT HIS ASKING NOR TELLING ANYONE! $334.84 of my own CHARGED monies went into it, which I was impatient to use, but he would not allow anyone to come near those offices! On September 29, 2010 I found out why! Too much hanky panky going on with the church books he could not afford to have anyone inadvertently view!]

The following excellent excerpt is taken from Dr. Jack Hyles masterpiece book, ENEMIES OF SOUL-WINNING, chapter 10...

1. Soul winning is not a method of church building. It is a command from our Commanding General. Occasionally someone will come to the Pastors' School at First Baptist Church of Hammond, spend a week hearing and seeing the soul-winning emphasis here, and go home to win souls and see his church grow. This growth may continue for several years, and then it may level off. Often this same pastor will then go to someone else's pastors' school to find other methods by which he can build his attendance. Soul winning is not a method; it is a command. We are supposed to go soul winning and do soul winning if our churches grow or if our churches decrease in attendance. An increase in church attendance is simply a delightful product of soul winning; but if such an increase does not occur, the command of the Great Commission is no less valid.

2. Our command is not to build churches. I know of no place in the Bible where we are commanded to build churches. Matthew 16:18 tells us that it is Jesus' place to build the church. It is our job to obey His command. I am not in the church-building business; I am in the soul-winning business, and I'm doing my best to conserve the results and to build a spiritual hospital for the healing of wounded Christians and a dining hall for the feeding of God's people. It is easy for us in obeying the Great Commission to oft times enjoy church growth. Then our motives become wrong, as we decide to build churches rather than win souls. The motto of my ministry is, "I will not use my people to build my work; I will use my work to build my people."

3. Where are the converts? In Luke 17:12-19 we have the story of the cleansing of ten lepers. Only one returned to express gratitude, and our Saviour asked the question, "Where are the nine?" (Luke 17:17) The answer is found in the same verse, "Were there not ten cleansed?" Regardless of where the nine are, they were cleansed. This is the big thing. It was nice for the one to return to express gratitude; it would have been nicer for all ten to have returned, but the main thing about this story is that all of them were cleansed. Now, I'm not saying that all the people who walk the aisles in our churches to receive Christ are sincere; but I do believe that the percentage of people who are genuinely saved who walk the aisles in the churches under attack by our dear brother is just as great as the percentage of the churches who have lesser numbers profess faith in Christ.

Jesus is the Foundation of the Church; Not Peter

Jesus Christ Himself is the Foundation of the Church. Peter is NOT the head of the church, and never was. Jesus Christ is the "Rock" (Greek, "Petra") upon which the New Testament Church is built. This is made abundantly clear by Peter himself, in 1st Peter 2:7 ...

Jesus Christ is the Cornerstone, the Foundation, upon which all Christianity is built. It is blasphemy to teach that a mere sinful man, such as Peter, could be the head of the Church. This is typical Catholic brainwashing. The name "Peter" in the Greek means "petros" (i.e., a small stone or rock); BUT, Jesus is referred to as "Petra" (a large rock or mountain) in Matthew 16:18. In the original Greek Jesus said, “Thou art petros [a little piece of rock], and upon this Petra [bedrock] I will build my church.” Clearly, Jesus was NOT speaking about Peter, because Peter was only a small stone.

Every believer is a member of the Body of Christ, and when two or more of those believers come together in Jesus' name, a church has formed. The Authority of that church is the Word of God, Jesus Christ. Matthew 7:28-29, “And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For HE TAUGHT THEM AS ONE HAVING AUTHORITY, and not as the scribes.” God is an authoritative God, Who raises up authoritative preachers, to preach from an authoritative Book.

Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Amen! When we teach or preach the Word of God, we can do so with authority knowing that we have the PROMISES of God to back up everything we say. There is no controversy if you believe the Bible.


Men are NOT the authority of the Church. Although a pastor or deacon board may have authority over an organization; this is NOT the church. To qualify as a genuine New Testament church, then the Word of God must be the FINAL AUTHORITY.

You Need HIS Righteousness! In the interest of not making this too long, I shall stop here, to continue tomorrow!
