The Five Fold Ministry And Religious Abuse

[Rev Rafael D Martinez]

http://www.spiritwatch.org/firefivespab.htm

Our ministry's four part series on the popular "five fold" ministry concept and how it has been seriously perverted into a dangerously philosophy of control-oriented authoritarianism that is as cultic as groups such as the Watchtower, the Unification Church and Remnant Fellowship.

We offer it for your perusal, and hopefully, assistance.

When I was 12-20 years old I was part of the "Latter Day Rain" Church in Oakland called Shiloh Temple. At that time pastored by Pastor Violet Kitely.
Then from the years of 12-28 years I went to a "Shepherding Movement" church in San Jose called Faith Fellowship.
The "Head Minister" broke us the church when I was 28 years old for abuses that were going on that were extraordinarily tragic. Abuses of authority that we terrible!
From 28-48 I went to the home church that was formed by the "Head Minister."
When I was 48, 4 years ago, they moved away and since then I am going to a Foursquare Pentecostal Church.

The "Shepherding Movement" believed in deliverance and would constantly pray for people for deliverance from evil spirits. There is some truth to that. The sad reality is that the "Sheperding Movement," (Derek Prince, Bob Mumford, Don Basham, Charles Simpson, Ern Baxter, especially Dennis Peacock), became much more of a bondage with their King/Slave abuse of authority than the "Latter Day Rain" church that I went to was.

When your "authorities" start practicing blatant sin condemned by Scripture and teach others to do so...Get out! Go over Rev. Martinez's teachings and Scriptures, and don't stay in bondage to your church another minute...Get out!

When they come up to your ear when praying to God to know that you are saved, and yell in if, "You are a fool! You really are a fool!" Don't be a fool any longer, look at the guy and shout back, "I rebuke you demon in the name of the LORD Jesus Christ!" Walk away and leave!
