1) If you are going to speak to all the workers who preach Matt 10 and do not agree with your interpretation with the goal of correcting them so that they come around to your interpretation--all I can say is that you have a lot of work cut out for you--and good luck! You are most unusual and unique--but your opinions are definitely NOT what is being taught in the mainstream and there is little chance that they will change to follow your beliefs. After all, you are not a worker any more and are barely considered to be part of the group at all, a marginal "friend" at best. ~~~ Thanks, for your post I have been wanting to post an article on Matthew 10 on my website.... let the friends, the workers or whoever reads it make their own decision, believe it or NOT it is up to them. As I have written before PEOPLE are MUCH smarter now become of Internet information age. People KNOW and UNDERSTAND the scriptures more than the workers think.
My main concern is sharing and teachings what the Lord has revealed it to me.... people can believe it or not it is up to them.
2) i personally (privately) agree with your interprettion of Matt 10--however you woud be run out of meetings on a rail if you came to our senior workers and tried to get them to preach in agreement with you. BTW, Scott Wainwright is a relative of mine---he des not preach the same "gospel' that you do! ~~ Yes, I know who your cousin is. I've talked with his ex-girl friend and him once in Greg's chatroom before he went in the work. She had a lot of questions about this fellowship and she wanted some answers just for herself.
My concern is not worrying that the workers agreeing with my understanding or intepretation of Matthew 10 or not. I just hope and pray that they will read, and pray earnestly to the Lord Himself to reveal His truth to them, this way they can preach and teach the correct interpretation on Matthew chapter 10 and Luke 10 so others will NOT call them false teachers.
A true servant of God will not wilfully continue to TEACH false teachings to others.
How can anyone have faith in your Gospel meetings if you continue to teach false teachings or incorrect doctrines.
Nathan, I totally agree with your point that you cannot trust people who willfully teach lies. That's why I don't go to meetings. I think that's why you don't really want to go to meetings either. You tell them workers Nathan. Maybe they will listen to you. Brad

Yes, there will always be some BAD apples among the workers, who might have an incorrect interpretation on some doctrines but many workers have a good understanding of the scriptures.
Hopefully, the ones with a clear vision of truth can help a little to those are lacking in this department at some points in time. However, I truly believe Only the Lord can reveal His Truth, His understanding to them or anyone personally as they SEEK for His aid.
I enjoy listening the workers' Gospel meetings and those who teach/preach SOUND doctrines and pointing others to Christ and NOT to themselves. There are still many good, dedicate, Bible students, Gospel/Evangelist preachers/workers out there.Nathan, Can you list all the good workers so that we can know who you love to listen to? Thanks, Brad

Love you Brother Ken He is not fighting for truth (honesty, trueness) but is asserting his agenda that there is one right ministry. Along the way he may make note of error of others that might be accurate. That does not mean he is fighting for honesty and trueness (truth).

Having met and talked with Nate I believe in his sincerity. That does not mean that I agree with all Nate believes. You are entitled to your opinion which may or maynot be right. His addressing this particular aspect of doctrine is a rough one

His addressing this particular aspect of doctrine is a rough one Sometimes putting a face to a person can make that person either more or less acceptable than when they were "anonymous". We are all aware of the backhand compliment of the friends and workers of those not in their church: many are sincere, just sincerely wrong.
