GLORY BE TO GOD ALMIGHTY (GOD, YOUR WILL BE DONE)
On Monday, 7th November 2022, We left the hotel by 10am and drove to meet the denominational bishop called James Kimani (popularly known as Bishop Jim) in his house to have a discussion before meeting his members and have a Bible study with them. We met him and his wife and had a good discussion. After that meeting, we drove one hour to meet his members. The bishop also invited his friend bishop who also has churches and his pastors including one female pastor. I was given 35 minutes for my presentation and questions. The topic I presented was “How Can One Be a Christian and Have a Right Relationship With God?”
They asked so many questions. The bishops and their pastors got to know they are all wrong. The bishop, James, who invited us confessed in front of his wife, his friend bishop, his pastors and the whole congregation that their baptism is wrong and they need to have the right baptism.
After bishop James’ confession, they all said we need to have the right baptism.
I then asked them, after baptism where should one be to worship God? Which church? Is it a denomination or Christ’s church? Does Christ have a church to save mankind? Is there a church in their Bibles?
After the presentation, they all asked more questions, and the female pastor got to know she has no right to be “preacher”. I asked her to give me Bible book, chapter, and verse that a woman can be a “pastor” or “preacher”. She said “I can’t”, but in front of the congregation I gave her Bible proofs; books, chapters and verses and I allowed her to read and asked her questions.
She later agreed it is wrong for her to be a pastor or preacher. They all agreed they are all wrong, but will think and go through the quotations and decide on what to do.
I pray for them to do right thing and take the right discussion before God so that we may all be saved one day. I leave the rest to the two preachers there to do the fellow -ups.
We spent about 1hour 28 minutes for the whole discussion.
PLEASE PRAY FOR THEM AND MYSELF.
