A Sermon by Reverend Hollis Ray Mathis

reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

What Is Wrong With The Pentecostal Doctrine

THE MEN IN AUTHORITY IN THE UNITED PENTECOSTAL DENOMINATION DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE "GODHEAD" IS A TRINITY IN UNITY. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE HOLY GHOST IS THE THIRD PERSON OF THE TRINITY. THEY BELIEVE IN ONE DEVINE PERSON, AND HIS NAME IS JESUS, HIM AND NONE OTHER. THAT DOCTRINE DENIES THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. THEY BELIEVE THAT JESUS WAS THE FATHER IN CREATION, THE SON WHEN HE WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY. THAT DOCTRINE DENIES THAT JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S DARLING SON, EXISTED, UNTIL HE WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY. COME NOW LET US REASON TOGETHER, JESUS CHRIST IS THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE. AND GOD THE FATHER, BY JESUS CHRIST CREATED EVERYTHING THAT IS VISIBLE, AND INVISIBLE. LISTEN AS I EXPOUND UPON THE SCRIPTURES THAT DECLARE THE CREATION OF JESUS CHRIST. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY GOD EVER FORMED.

Is:43:10: Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Is:43:11: I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

SAINTS OF GOD, WE KNOW THAT GOD TOOK THE DUST OF THE EARTH, AND SHAPED IT, AND FORMED IT IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE DUST OF THE EARTH BECOME THE MAN ADAM. AND, WE KNOW THAT GOD TOOK A RIB FROM ADAM'S SIDE, AND SHAPED THAT RIB IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE RIB BECAME THE WOMAN EVE. BUT FROM WHAT SUBSTANCE, DID GOD, THE FATHER, SHAPE AND FORM HIS BLESSED CHILD JESUS, THE CHRIST? IN THE BEGINNING, BEFORE THE SUN AND THE MOON, GOD THE FATHER SPOKE, AND HE TOOK HIS WORD, AND SHAPED IT, AND FORMED IT, IN SUCH A WAY THE WORD OF GOD BECAME THE SON OF GOD.

Jn:1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (KJV)

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, JESUS, THE CHRIST, IS THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE. WHAT IS A CREATURE? A CREATURE IS SOMETHING THAT WAS CREATED. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY GOD EVER FORMED, FORMED FROM THE WORD OF GOD, THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE. THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS INSPIRED OF GOD TO RECORD THESE WORDS ABOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Col:1:15: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: (KJV)

BELOVED, GOD, BY JESUS CHRIST CREATED ALL THINGS. Eph:3:9: And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (KJV)

HOLY CHILDREN, WHEN GOD THE FATHER CREATED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HE CREATED HIM EQUAL TO HIMSELF. FOR ANY TWO THINGS TO BE EQUAL, THEY MUST BE IDENTICAL. THEREFORE WAS JESUS CHRIST OF THE SAME SUBSTANCE AS THE FATHER? WAS HE THE SAME SIZE? DOES HE HAVE THE SAME POWER? YES, JESUS CHRIST WAS CREATED IDENTICAL TO GOD, THE FATHER.

Phil:2:6: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: (KJV)

SAINTS OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY GOD EVER FORMED, FORMED FROM THE WORD OF GOD, THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE, FORMED IDENTICAL TO THE FATHER, THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING THAT IS VISIBLE, AND INVISIBLE, AND BY HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST.

Col:1:12: Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Col:1:13: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Col:1:14: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Col:1:15: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

Col:1:16: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Col:1:17: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Col:1:18: And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA OF THE POWER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST; HE CREATED THE SUN, AND THE MOON, AND THE STARS, AND PLACED THEM IN SPACE IN ONE DAY. JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S DARLING SON, CREATED ADAM AND PLACED WITHIN ADAM ALL MANKIND IN ONE DAY. WHEN YOU SEE JESUS, HE WILL LOOK EXACTLY AS THE FATHER, FOR HE WAS CREATED IN HIS EXPRESS IMAGE.

Heb:1:1: God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Heb:1:2: Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Heb:1:3: Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

LISTEN CAREFULLY CHRISTIAN BRETHREN, EVERY MAN THAT CONFESSES THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD, AND TRUELY BELIEVES WHAT HE CONFESSES. GOD DWELLETH IN HIM, AND HE IN GOD.

1Jn:4:15: Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. (KJV)

IF A MAN DOES NOT BELIEVE IN BOTH GOD, THE FATHER, AND JESUS, THE CHRIST, THE SON, HE IS NOT A CHRISTIAN AT ALL. HE IS ANTICHRIST.

1Jn:2:22: Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

LITTLE CHILDREN, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST, AS THE WORD OF GOD HAS BEEN IN THE GOD THE FATHER FROM EVERLASTING. FOR THE BIBLE, THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD, SAYS THAT HIS GOING FORTH HAS BEEN FROM EVERLASTING.

Mi:5:2: But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler

in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

WE ARE A BLESSED GENERATION TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD. FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN WERE BY MEN MUST BE SAVED; BUT BY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. BEFORE GOD THE FATHER SENT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD, MEN KNEW THAT GOD HAD A SON, BUT DID NOT KNOW HIS NAME.

Prv:30:4: Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

BELOVED, BEFORE GOD SENT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD, TO BE BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD WAS A MYSTERY. JESUS CHRIST WAS KNOWN AS, "THE WORD OF THE LORD." OR, "THE WORD OF GOD." LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO ELIJAH IN A CAVE, AND ASK HIM THIS QUESTION. "WHAT DOEST THOU HERE ELIJAH. NOTICE IN THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE BOTH GOD THE FATHER, AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST SPEAK TO ELIJAH.

1Kgs:19:9: And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?

1Kgs:19:10: And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

1Kgs:19:11: And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:

1Kgs:19:12: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

1Kgs:19:13: And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

BROTHERS, AND SISTERS, IF A PERSON DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD; HE DOES NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL JUDGMENT DAY TO SEE IF HE IS CONDEMNED, FOR HE IS CONDEMNED ALREADY.

Jn:3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Jn:3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Jn:3:18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE BELOVED OF GOD, MANY MEN HAVE SEEN JESUS, GOD'S BELOVED SON, BUT NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD THE FATHER AT ANY TIME.

Jn:1:18: No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (KJV)

BELOVED, THE MEN IN AUTHORITY IN THE UNITED PENTECOSTAL DENOMINATION PREACH TITHING. THE TITHE WAS A TAX THAT WAS PUT ON THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL TO SUPPORT THE LEVITCAL TRIBE. THERE IS NO PLACE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, OR THE NEW TESTAMENT, THAT COMMAND THE SAINTS OF GOD TO PAY TEN PER CENT OF THEIR INCOME OR A TITHE TO THE CHURCH. WHY NOT? BECAUSE KINGS DO NOT TAX THEIR OWN CHILDREN. THEY TAX CHILDREN OF STRANGERS.

Mt:17:24: And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

Mt:17:25: He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

Mt:17:26: Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

Mt:17:27: Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. (KJV)

CHILDREN OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH, I BELIEVE THAT WHEN SATAN TEMPTS PREACHERS TO PREACH TITHING, THEY BUILD FOR THEMSELVES A FRANKENSTIEN. ANY THING THAT A MAN BUILDS THAT KILLS HIM IS A "FRANKENSTIEN." IF YOU ARE A PREACHER THAT HAS JUST ENTERED THE MINISTRY, YOU MAY NOT KNOW HOW THAT PREACHING TITHING, COULD CAUSE YOUR CONDEMNATION. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO GET OUT FROM UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE LAW OF MOSES', WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE LAW OF SIN, AND DEATH. AND THAT IS TO DIE TO SIN. WHY WOULD A PERSON WANT TO GET OUT OF THE JURISDICTION OF THE LAW OF MOSES? BECAUSE BY THAT LAW NO FLESH SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD, DIE TO SIN WHEN WE ARE BAPTIZED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. FOR WE ARE BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH.

Rom:6:1: What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

Rom:6:2: God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Rom:6:3: Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

Rom:6:4: Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Rom:6:5: For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Rom:6:6: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Rom:6:7: For he that is dead is freed from sin.

SAINTS OF GOD IF A MAN PREACHES TITHING, AND BUILDS AGAIN THE TITHING LAW, HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. IF HE PREACHES THAT MEN SHOULD NOT WORK ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND BUILDS AGAIN THE SABBATH DAY LAWS AS THEY WERE UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. IF HE PREACHES THAT MEN SHOULD NOT EAT CERTAIN MEATS, AND BUILDS AGAIN THE DIETARY LAWS HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. FOR THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES HAD TO BE KEPT NOT TO THE WORD, BUT TO THE LETTER. A MAN CANNOT PREACH ONE WAY, AND LIVE ANOTHER.

Rom:2:21: Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

Rom:2:22: Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

Rom:2:23: Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

LITTLE CHILDREN, SATAN USES THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AS A WEAPON TO DESTROY THE CHILDREN OF GOD. WHEN CHRIST HUNG ON CALVARYS CROSS HE TOOK THE CURSE AWAY FROM US. BUT IF A PERSON BUILDS AGAIN THE SABBATH DAY LAWS, THE DIETARY LAWS, OR THE TITHING LAWS AS THEY WERE UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, THEY WILL MAKE THEMSELVES A TRANSGRESSOR.

Gal:2:17: But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

Gal:2:18: For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

Gal:2:19: For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

HOLY CHILDREN ALL ISRAEL AT ONE TIME WENT UNDER THE CURSE OR SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION BECAUSE OF THE TITHING LAWS. IF A MAN WAS ONE CENT SHORT ON HIS TITHE, OR ONE LAMB, OR SHORT ONE GRAIN OF CORN, HE BROKE THE TITHING LAW. AND THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH CONDEMNED HIM.

Mal:3:8: Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Mal:3:9: Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
