It is the greatest joy to find a brother in Christ, you have been a wonderful inspiration in my life because you stand in the truth of God's Holy Word. ... As I told to my wife, you are like the Apostle Paul of our day. Your ministry has been a breath of fresh air and an inspiration to all true Christians. I always look forward to your sermons and newsletters. ... It is the greatest joy to find others (like yourself) whom I can include in my Christian family, who I know will always stand for the Truth in Christ. (A.C., California)
A lot of your articles changed my doctrinal position, the last one being about the so-called "common grace". (A.G., Indonesia)
Your ministry is great light. (A.M., New York)
Thanks for the several issues you sent to my home; it was an unexpected treat to receive such wonderful reading. ... It is rare to find one with agreement on the subjects that you cover. (A.W., Indiana)
That which I have read - Everlasting Life and Gospel Atonement - I am in perfect agreement with! (C.C., South Africa)
There are no other web sites that I know of that proclaim the True Gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord. (C.F., Texas)
Why would I stop wanting to receive THE ONLY current sound doctrine available to me? 100% YES! Positively, YES! For eternity, YES! Receiving the news letter from O.T.C. is one of the highlights of my life! (C.S., New York)
Thank you for a bunch of cassette tapes and other spiritual materials you sent me. God bless you my brother it is a great spiritual blessings for me. ... I speak the true Gospel everywhere I go but peoples are not willing to accept this Gospel because they are filled with the philosophy of arminianism. They reject the truth they doesn't like to hear this true Gospel. They think they are saved but they are under the dominion of devil. (D.M., Ethiopia)
As usual I would say that I am too thankful to the Lord for the wealthy information it contains. It is real food for my poor and needy soul. I thank God that He has called you over there to feed His sheep. May the Lord God Almighty grant you sufficient grace to be faithful to His Word always. Every one whose eyes have been opened by the Lord to see would confess with great joy that He hath glorified His Holy name by teaching you sound doctrine. Brother, you are such a great blessing to me and His elect scattered around the globe. (E.C., Zambia)
The September issue was excellent - right on. (F.K., New Hampshire)
Brother, I would more likely say that after I had received your emails and magazines, my heart was affirmed in that we are on the right path ... I would be very happy to say that we had repented of worshipping another jesus sometime in Jan. 2003 and only trust in his atoning blood and work of our Lord Jesus Christ, his imputed righteousness. ... I had been to a place and had to teach on the survey of New Testament. As I taught them, I had emphasised on the Atoning Blood of Jesus and the Imputed righteousness. It was, then did I face such venom from them. Till then they looked so sweet and as truly saved people but it was then that the heretics are exposed. ... Further, our numbers have dwindled down further, and those who left us especially after I circulated the magazines to them. God be praised that I got them back safely. They said this is heresy and more and more I am able to the truth of how even I was deceived of following another jesus. Our lord be praised for to whom belongs salvation and all honour and glory and that no flesh should glory in his presence. ... God bless you dear brother for the truth, it is harsh and a bitter pill but it is life saving. ... Please do pray for us too. Mum was really excited about he truth that you had preached especially about repenting and turning around from worshipping a false jesus. (G.D., India)
The paper is very well read and I pass it on. (G.R., Colorado)
Thank God for your faithfulness. (J.B., Texas)
I love reading "Outside the Camp", and devour every issue. I always look forward to the next issue. I've found you to be the most consistent teacher of the doctrines of grace that I know of. I thank you, and praise God for that. It is by His Sovereign hand that I was led to your teachings! May the Lord raise up more servants just like you! ... I can't help but give praise to our Lord when I read your writings. (J.D., California)
I discovered your site purely by accident - and am very glad I did so! I have been downloading the series on ROMANS and am VERY impressed. (J.G., Australia)
Thanks so much. Keep standing for truth, never vary. (J.N., California)
Thank you for your latest copy of "Outside the Camp." I look forward to receiving them. (J.W., Northern Ireland)
The truth contained in your website has washed away much confusion in my mind and saved me from much mental anguish as I could not accept the teachings of arminianism but could not logically and systematically explain to myself why. Too many contradictions in my thinking are now clear. I can see. Thanks. (K.A., Texas)
I appreciate your indepth teaching on vital Biblical truth, which is often quite revealing! It is good to be able to receive this magazine, and may you be given strength to continue as the Lord enables. (L.M., England)
When I go to Maasim, my friend pastor R.C. gave me a one copy of your book the title is Christian Confession of Faith. When I read and study it, I'm blessed and satisfied the doctrine, very strong and sound doctrine. I study from page 1 to the last pages. My heart was open and received the doctrine it far from the doctrine of other Baptist, it is very depth and Biblical and hard to accept the people who are not chosen by God and not regenerated people but by the grace of God He open my mind and my heart to understand and to received the genuine doctrine of God. Praise the Lord and Halleluiah Amen. This is my feeling and understand the Word of God through your doctrinal book. I repeat to say, I accept the doctrine from pages one to the last pages of the doctrine. (L.M., Philippines)
First and foremost I (we) want to thank you for your ministry and how clearly you lay out the truths that we all need. The truth most certainly causes many divisions, as we well know what it has done in the last few months and continuing right now. (L.P., Arizona)
I was blessed to receive and read your recent newsletter - Outside the Camp. I am always encouraged by your faith and steadfast uncompromising stand for the truth of the Gospel of Christ. ... I wanted to affirm your first article "Are All Arminians Unsaved?" by Jeremy Tavares. I appreciate his thoroughness in demonstrating the emotive and biased nature of Mitch Cervinka's criticism of OTC. ... I found Chris Duncan's article "Deadly Ignorance" well written and easy to follow. I appreciate a style that conveys itself to reader. (M.F., Maryland)
I got the latest issue of OTC, and it is excellent, as always. ... I would like to say that your newsletter is the greatest in the Christian world. (M.F., Michigan)
May the Lord uphold you in the ministry, both to the Assembly and to those who read your website. Be sure of one thing: the devil will attack from every direction. (M.G., England)
Your group is the only one I regard as believers, but surely there are others that God has graced with the truth. One thing I long to do is come to know that there are such groups. (M.G., North Carolina)
Thank you for affirming to me my God-given convictions. Arminians are obviously wolves, even a one-eyed jack can see that. The so-called 5 point Calvinists are the ones in sheep's clothing. Most of them are easy to smell but some can cover their smell with something that your site is so helpful in detecting. ... I re-read the Christian Confession of Faith and the more I read it, the sweeter it smells. (M.T., California)
I heartily endorse your justifiably firm stand against Arminians and all others who promote universalistic heresies such as "universal atonement," "universal salvation," etc. Since such ideas are unmistakably denied and refuted by the Scriptures, it is obvious that those who hold and defend these "universalistic" theories are devoid of the Holy Spirit of GOD, and as such, they are unregenerate, despite all protestations to the contrary either by them or others. ... I wholeheartedly commend your courageous witness to the truths of GOD's Word. It's an unpopular stand in these liberal post-modernist times, but therefore all the more necessary. (M.T., New Zealand)
I thank God for you and your firm stand for the truth of God! (P.T., Philippines)
Please pray for me, and our pastors in our ministries because ... we will have our Tribal National Assembly. I am expecting 30 tribal pastors and 50 tribal church leaders, all over Mindanao. And by this time, one of our priority concern is to evaluate, study & agree the six statement, & with the Christian Confession of Faith & the 10 Questions that you have just sent. ... You know, they are very happy, to have the copy of the Christian Confession of Faith. You know, it will be come our manual in our Tribal Ministries all over Mindanao. (P.Y., Philippines)
Brother Marc, if you ask me & any member in my assembly and the others pastors all, we agree this agreement with the Christian Confession of Faith because is very clear this doctrine. (R.C., Philippines)
Just a note to say how much I appreciate your newsletter. (R.K., Australia)
After reading you confession of Faith, Now I may say that I agree with your theological perspective. Your news letters fed my soul, it contain the truth of the gospel of our sovereign Lord. (R.L., Philippines)
The articles in which you send, I read it all carefully, and I found out that's a real Truth & clear teaching of the Word of God, especially The Doctrine of the Christian Confession of Faith, The Essential Gospel Doctrine, and the Christian Unity. And It is in my heart to translate into our own dialect, for it is very easy to understand. ... We are in a full agreement of faith. For to obey God's command is to separate themselves from the world and false christians and God's requires of His people that they love & fellowship with each other. Love of the brother in Jesus Christ is an inevitable fruit of salvation. Wherever the true church is found, the true gospel is always found. We love the same things, and we hate the same things, and we are closer than any natural blood relation. We loved our Lord Jesus Christ, and the gospel of salvation condition on the atoning blood & imputed righteousness of Christ alone. (R.M., Philippines)
No other group remains as faithful and clear with regards to the Gospel. (R.R., Philippines)
