The facts about church legal entity status (incorporation, 501(c)(3), etc.) applied to church doctrine from God’s Word, the King James Bible.

PART ONE

Man’s Law and Biblical Principles Regarding the Church

The church was founded by Jesus Christ and is the wife of Christ. God gives the New Testament Church doctrine in the epistles written by the Apostle Paul.

Christ desires that His wife choose to remain pure and chaste, solely under His authority.

Most churches organize their churches according to man’s law (incorporation, federal tax-exempt law, etc.). In doing so, they become spiritual whores. They betray their Husband.

To understand this, one must know the law (God’s Word) and the facts about man’s law. To please and glorify God, he must apply the facts to the law.

PART ONE covers the law and the facts, and applies the facts to the law.

The local church sanctified and cleansed by the washing of water by the word——————–A ministry of Charity Baptist Tabernacle of Amarillo, Texas led by Pastor Ben Hickam. "Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:1-3). ————————————Jerald Finney, a Christian Lawyer and member of Charity Baptist Tabernacle, having received this ministry in the Lord, explains how a church in America can remain under the Lord Jesus Christ and Him only. "As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen" (1 Peter 4:10-11; See also, Ephesians 4::1-16 and 1 Corinthians 12:1-25). "Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it" (Colossians 4:17). "And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church" (Ephesians 1.22; See also, e.g. Colossians 1:18).
