<p>I met Jim on Stan Hallets Good News Cafe forum in 2000. There was a discussion going on there about the post trib rapture. Jim's comments were of the truth and we began talking by phone. We also connected on the truth of plurality of Elders. I had association with several groups along my walk that taught that so we had a few things in common from the start.</p>

We also connected on the truth of plurality of Elders. I had association with several groups along my walk that taught that so we had a few things in common from the start.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Jim introduced us to the book The Glorious Church and Bro. Dave Huston. After reading the book I called Bro. Dave and introduced myself. Jim and I fellowshipped by phone here and there for a few years before he persuaded me to visit the yearly conference I think in 2006 where we actually met face to face.</p>
<p></p>
<p>For a time Jim and I ministered together on Paltalk.com on topics such as the Oneness of God, the new birth and Biblical Eldership and home Church fellowship. As time went on we continued our fellowship by phone.</p>
<p></p>
<p>He stopped by our place in Kentucky around August of 2017. He said the Lord showed him he was to minister to Linda who was at that time at her lowest point in her battle with cancer. He himself had received a harsh diagnosis of cancer at that time. We will always remember that special time. Jim prayed and together with the prayers of other saints God has moved for her and the cancer has been defeated!</p>
<p></p>
<p>In our last several talks Jim was really hoping to move to Elyria Ohio and be part of the Church there. When he was severely ill down in Florida Bro Dave called to let me know. My prayer was of course for his healing but especially he would not have to die there among strangers.</p>
<p></p>
<p>What a joy it was when I called him the next time and found the Pastor in Elyria had brought him up to the Church there! Very thankful to Pastor Sanders for allowing God to use him to fulfill Jim's desire.</p>
<p>So just a few lines here to show my deep respect for my friend Jim Mckinley. Without doubt one of the finest Bible Teachers I ever knew.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Look forward to seeing him again in the great resurrection day!</p> Giving Thanks For Deliverance From Democrat Ruletag:gloriouschurch.ning.com,2016-11-09:2853269:Topic:373822016-11-09T10:42:20.910ZPablo Rios Jrhttp://gloriouschurch.ning.com/profile/PabloRiosJr

<p>Greetings brethren of the Lord. Hope this discussion all finds us well in the Lord Jesus. Just a thought that came to mind some time ago: </p>
<p>We have heard it said and possibly at some point we ourselves have taught/preached that when Abraham said to Isaac that the Lord will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering that Abraham indirectly was actually foretelling the time in which the Lord Himself will be the lamb slain for the sins of the world. </p>

<p>Greetings brethren of the Lord. Hope this discussion all finds us well in the Lord Jesus. Just a thought that came to mind some time ago: </p>
<p>We have heard it said and possibly at some point we ourselves have taught/preached that when Abraham said to Isaac that the Lord will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering that Abraham indirectly was actually foretelling the time in which the Lord Himself will be the lamb slain for the sins of the world. </p>
<p>In the Book of John, we see the Lord telling His Disciples in chapter 14 "I go to prepare a place for you" (KJV). Many have seen this as indicating the heavenly abode. Others have also seen that it directly points to the new bodies we'll receive at the resurrection. Brother Dave has aptly shown that it can also be construed as a spiritual place God has prepared for us currently. </p>
<p>Can this passage be interpreted the same way that we interpret Abraham's words? Can we say that God is preparing us (to be) a place, and not primarily preparing a place for us?</p>
<p>Is this place still being prepared or has it been prepared and just waiting for the right time? and what or who determines whether it is prepared or not? Are we (the Church) the place that God is talking about? </p>
<p>I bring this up because in a sense our perspective on this passage will determine whether we appreciate this promise as something we will receive actively or passively. Thus If God is preparing a place for us, then in His own time this place will come to us, and there's nothing we're responsible for. But if this promise is hinged on us also making preparations, then the Coming of the Lord (I will come again) is based directly on the Church being the prepared place, and He will not come UNTIL the place is prepared, that is until the knowledge of God's glory covers this earth. </p>
<p>God took 6 days to create the world. The promise of the place was made over 2000 years ago. Is God still preparing a place for us? Or are we being prepared to be the place for God?</p> What's Wrong With Us?tag:gloriouschurch.ning.com,2014-04-02:2853269:Topic:295072014-04-02T14:57:52.427ZPablo Rios Jrhttp://gloriouschurch.ning.com/profile/PabloRiosJr

<p>Dear brethren, I recently became involved in a discussion about the name of Jesus with a women who posted a question on the Glorious Church website. Her name is Teuila Holding. Teuila maintains that we must use the name Yeshua and not Jesus. Below is the discussion beginning with the question she posted on the website and my response. The discussion has continued from there via email. I need your help in this because I feel as though I’ve used about everything in my arsenal. What am I missing here that might persuade her of her error?</p>
<p>Note: My comments begin with DH and her’s with Teuila.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Teuila’s original question:</b> Where do you find in Scripture to support your theory that people were baptized in the name according to the language they speak, or that His name was changed based on what language you speak?</p>
<p><strong>Answer on website: T</strong>he very fact that the New Testament was written in Greek and the name Jesus written as <i>Iesous</i> rather that <i>Yeshua</i> is a good place to start. Also, the Bible recognizes that the peoples of the earth speak different languages according to God's own purpose (Genesis 11). We reject the idea that the Lord's name is being changed when it is transliterated from one language to another. It doesn't matter if a person is baptized in the name of Jesus, <i>Yeshua</i>, <i>Yesha</i>, <i>Jesu</i>, or <i>Iesous</i>. These are simply Anglicized versions of the letters which spell God’s name in various languages.</p>
<p><strong>Notification to Teuila:</strong> Thank you for posting a question or comment on the Glorious Church website. We take all postings very seriously and do our best to provide solid and responsible answers. We have recently posted our response to your posting. Please keep in mind that we sometimes change the title to make the nature of the question clearer to others visiting the site. Thank you for participating and please continue to visit.</p>
<p><strong>Teuila:</strong> Thank you. But with all due respect, you didn't give me scripture besides stating that there were different languages spoken, which we all know to be true. The response is telling me that man is the one who changed the name of God from language to language however where do we find in scripture that His name changed when speaking to someone in a different language, especially Baptism?</p>
<p><strong>DH:</strong> The name did not change. If you spell Yeshua in Hebrew letters, no one in Greece will be able to say it (unless they speak Hebrew). So when you transliterate the Hebrew letters into Greek, it comes out <i>Iesous</i> (except it would be in Greek letters). This is not changing the name, it is only changing the language in which the name is said. It still means Yahweh is Salvation. When people read the New Testament letters in their original languages, they would have read the Lord’s name as <i>Iesous</i>. When it was translated into English, it became Jesus. When I was baptized, the name Jesus was called over me. I have baptized hundreds of people and have always called the name Jesus. You seem to be suggesting that we are not saved because we didn’t say <i>Yeshua</i>. If that is what you are saying, please explain why God had the NT written in Greek and why He didn’t make clear that the name must be uttered in the original Hebrew. I am interested in this, so I honestly want to know your explanation.</p>
<p><b>Teuila:</b> Who came up with the name <i>Iesous</i>?You would like to know why he didn’t specify that His name had to be uttered in the original Hebrew but I’d like to know where he said that it was pronounced diff according to the language you spoke? My name is Polynesian, you don’t have to be or speak the Polynesian language to say my name. My husband speaks Spanish, my name wouldn’t change if he was introducing me to someone who speaks Spanish. In High School I had foreign exchange students who came down from Japan, one of their names were Jin Soo, didn’t have to speak their language to be able to call him by his name.</p>
<p>And I’m quite confused when you say the name did not change yet <i>Yeshua</i>, <i>Iesous</i> and Jesus are all spelled 3 different ways and pronounced differently so how is that a direct transliteration or the same? How would you know how to pronounce <i>Yeshua</i> if you don’t speak Hebrew ( unless you do) those are not Hebrew letters so then wouldn’t <i>Yeshua</i> be the direct transliteration from Hebrew to English? I can’t read Hebrew but I can read/say <i>Yeshua</i> just fine.</p>
<p><strong>DH:</strong> The name <i>Iesous</i> in Greek letters is the name as it appears throughout the New Testament. So I guess you could say that the New Testament writers came up with it under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. If we use your logic, then we should always use the Greek name <i>Iesous</i> and never use the Hebrew name <i>Yeshua</i>. But I have answered enough questions for a while. My question to you is, where does this leave all of us who were baptized in the name of JESUS?</p>
<p><strong>Teuila:</strong> You can’t start from Jesus and try to figure out how that name came about. You have to start from the beginning in the old Testament with <i>Yahweh</i> (which they changed that too) then you will see that <i>Yahweh</i> was a lot of things to them but the greatest thing he could become for us was our salvation. <i>Yahweh-Yasha. Yeshua</i>. It’s the fulfillment of scripture of Yahweh coming himself to save his people when you say <i>Yeshua</i>. There’s no salvation in any other name. Singular. He wasn’t called anything other than <i>Yeshua</i> bc then that would break scripture. In Isaiah 56 he said that he’d give an everlasting name (singular) that would not be cut off. When names were changed in scripture it was obvious, for instance in Revelation 9 it specifically states that the name was diff in the Hebrew and Greek. We don’t find anywhere that his name was called something else from one language to the next.</p>
<p><strong>DH:</strong> You did not answer my question. You also did not explain why the New Testament uses <i>Iesous</i> instead of <i>Yeshua</i>. Please respond to these issues. Thanks.</p>
<p><strong>Teuila:</strong> The New Testament was written during a period called Hellenism where King Alexander the Great came in and was changing everything to Greek, names and all. Also weren’t there some names used both in the Old and New Testament? Why didn’t those names change then too? Can you please answer then where <i>Iesous</i> was derived from?</p>
<p><strong>DH:</strong> The New Testament was written in the first century AD. Alexander the Great lived in the 4th century BC, 400 years before the New Testament era. Your explanation is historically impossible. The name Joshua (<i>Yehoshua</i>) of the Old Testament appears as Jesus in the KJB. The Old Testament name Elijah (<i>Eliyahu</i>) appears as Elias in the New. There are other examples. These names were not changed or translated; they were transliterated. This is the practice of exchanging the letter equivalents of the two languages (in this case Hebrew and Greek). That’s where <i>Iesous</i> came from. It is a transliteration from Hebrew letters to the equivalent Greek letters. It is the same name. You still haven’t said where your ideas leave me and all the others who have been baptized in the name of JESUS. Do we need to be re-baptized in the name of <i>Yeshua</i> to be saved?</p>
<p><strong>Teuila:</strong> I understand what transliteration means and it would be to get the same sound so we would be pronouncing it the same way in our own language. What name was <i>Iesous</i> derived from? <i>Yeshua</i> correct?</p>
<p>Yes, I believe you have to be re baptized. The letter J wasn’t even created until the 16th century and the name Jesus wasn’t even used in the Bible until 200+ years ago. In the KJV 1611 Bible the scripture recorded his name as Iesus, 1617 it was Lefus and in 1722 it was Jefus Chrift.. So that’s the English language, so then that means that since the name Jesus wasn’t used in the English bible all those years, no one up until that point has a chance to make it to heaven bc they weren’t baptized in the name Jesus?</p>
<p><strong>DH:</strong> You are incorrect about the name Jesus in the King James Bible. The letter J existed in 1611, it’s just that it was formed differently in formal type setting. Same with the letter S. The people of England knew the name Jesus in 1611 just as they do today. You seem to be suggesting that according to my beliefs, no one could have been saved in 1611 because they could not know the name Jesus. If I need to be baptized again to be saved, how should that baptism be done, what should be said? I am very serious about asking this because if I have it wrong, I want to get it right. I don’t really care about winning arguments, I just want to be saved. So what do I need to do?</p>
<p><strong>Teuila:</strong> Well I can’t say whether or not they knew the name Jesus or not in 1611 but it wasn’t recorded in scripture until after 1722. I don’t find anywhere in the scripture where <i>Yeshua’s</i> name changes from on language to the next. Your name doesn’t change if you go to another country where they speak another language. Who are we to change God’s name? Salvation is in The name of <i>Yeshua</i>. Baptism in the name of <i>Yeshua</i>.</p>
<p><strong>DH:</strong> It is not true that the name Jesus did not appear in the King James Bible until 1722. It was there in 1611, it’s just that some of the letters were formed differently from what we recognize today. It is also not true that your name would not change if you went to a foreign country. If you a man named Joseph went to Mexico, he would be called Jose. If a woman named Ruth went to Israel, she would be called Rut (with a long u sound). If a man named Michael went to Russia, he would be called Mikhail. When the writers of the New Testament wrote the Lord’s name, they wrote <i>Iesous</i>. They never wrote <i>Yeshua</i>. It almost seems as though you do not consider the New Testament to be part of the holy Word of God. Is that true?</p>
<p><strong>Teuila:</strong> Well in my research the name Jesus did not appear until after 1722. I would say that if you were born in Mexico, you’re more likely to be named Jose not Joseph. That doesn’t mean that’s what they’re going to call you. That may be more common in their language but they’re not going to change your namer you go there, they have no right to. Where would your identity be in your name changed everywhere you went? And of course I consider the NT as part of the holy Word. Just bc it was never written doesn’t mean that wasn’t his name. It was man who changed the name of God, something we had no right to do.</p>
<p><strong>DH:</strong> You seem to be unwilling to deal with the fact that the entire New Testament identifies the Lord’s name as <i>Iesous</i> (in Greek letters). It never calls Him <i>Yeshua</i> (using either Greek or Hebrew letters). So you can say all you want that everyone must call Him <i>Yeshua</i>, regardless of their language, but your whole theory falls apart as soon as you read Matthew 1:1.</p>
<p><strong>Teuila:</strong> I’m sorry, I would’ve responded sooner but for some reason your email went straight to my junk folder. I’m not quite sure how it all falls apart after reading Matthew 1:1.</p>
<p>In Revelation 22:2 shows us that Paul (Saul) was speaking in the Hebrew tongue. Not for their benefit bc they knew what language they were speaking but for ours. They spoke, taught and preached the name <i>Yeshua</i> so why aren’t we doing what the apostles did? John 3:18 But he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name ((singular, one name)) of the only begotten Son of God.. Couldn’t have been Jesus bc that name never existed.</p>
<p><strong>DH:</strong> Are you American or Polynesian? Or something else?</p>
<p><strong>Teuila:</strong> My mom is Puerto Rican, my dad was mainly Polynesian and Italian. My husband’s mom is Puerto Rican and black and his dad is Irish and Native American.</p>
<p><strong>DH:</strong> Do you live in the US and speak English as your primary language?</p>
<p>Teuila: Yes, of course.</p>
<p><strong>DH:</strong> So you are an English speaking American who has a Polynesian name. Is that right?</p>
<p><strong>Teuila:</strong> Yes. Which then you will try to justify that even tho He was a Jew who spoke Hebrew had a Greek name, and I would justify it saying that just bc I’m not Hebrew nor speak Hebrew doesn’t mean I cant say his name in Hebrew. Just like you don’t have to be or speak Polynesian to say my name. But again you haven’t answered any of my questions nor do I find in scripture where his name was pronounced differently from one language to the next. As we know names are very significant and have meaning and purpose throughout the whole bible. Esau means Red bc he came out that way, Jacob heel-holder, supplanter. Sarah to Sarai, Abram to Abraham, Jacob to Israel and many more yet we don’t find that about Yeshua’s name. So the fact that you’re trying to downplay the significance of a name, especially when it comes to our Saviour is not so convincing. Our God is very specific, the Arc, The Tabernacle, so again hard to see where His name would just be called anything and change from one language to the next.</p> Reality Of A Coming Revivaltag:gloriouschurch.ning.com,2013-12-07:2853269:Topic:293852013-12-07T14:00:04.312ZPablo Rios Jrhttp://gloriouschurch.ning.com/profile/PabloRiosJr
