For clarification, it doesn't really matter whether the Rt Rev's Fowler and Kear have actually paid the $500.00 to the IRS to become a Registered, 501 c 3, tax collecting agent of the goobermint. The Fowler types have tried, in the past to "clarify" the IRS code concerning what churches may and may not preach from the pulpit. The IRS has redifined the title of Minister to an RC meaning.

I discussed Fowler Bishop of Moore, OK., yesterday, to over 2.5 million people worldwide. There are a few things which mark the Fowler types, hiding behind the title of Bishop, Pastor, Baptist, etc.

1. The typical Fowler types have long perverted dispensational, doctrinal truth in THEIR teaching of the start of the Church Age. They would have you believe the Church Age started in Acts 2 at the Day of Pentecost. This goes along with Pentecostal/Charismatic teachings of salvation as evidenced by speaking in some, unknown tongue and the perversion of Acts 2:38 to equate water baptism to salvation.

The Church Age started in:

John 19:30
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.(KJV)

Tetelestai-- It is finished. What is finished? Your typical, deluded, NIV Pentecostal cannot tell you what was finished for it would deny the very heart of their perverted teachings.

1. It is finished--that is, all the types and prophecies of the Old Testament, which pointed at the sufferings of the Mechiach, were accomplished and answered. At this point, there was no prophesies in Tanakh concerning Mechiach, left unfulfilled.

2. It is finished, that is, the ceremonial law is abolished, and a period put to the obligation of it. The substance is now come, and all the shadows are done away. Just now the veil is rent,(from top to bottom signifying it was Almighty G_d Himself, doing the tearing) the wall of partition is taken down, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances

Eph 2:14-15
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
(KJV)

3. It is finished, that is, sin is finished, and an end made of transgression, by the bringing in of an everlasting righteousness. It seems to refer to Dan. 9:24. The Lamb of God was sacrificed to take away the sin of the world, and it is done, Heb. 9:26.

4. It is finished, that is, his sufferings were now finished, both those of his soul and those of his body. The storm is over, the worst is past; all his pains and agonies are at an end, and he is just going to paradise, entering upon the joy set before him. Let all that suffer for Christ, and with Christ, comfort themselves with this, that yet a little while and they also shall say, It is finished.

5. It is finished, that is, his life was now finished, he was just ready to breathe his last, and now he is no more in this world, Jn 17:11. This is like that of the Talmidim Sh'aul, 2 Tim. 4:7, I have finished my course, my race is run, my glass is out, mene, mene-- numbered and finished. This we must all come to shortly.

6. It is finished, that is, the work of man's redemption and salvation is now completed, at least the hardest part of the undertaking is over;

a full satisfaction is made to the justice of God,
a fatal blow given to the power of Satan,
a fountain of grace opened that shall ever flow,
a foundation of peace and happiness laid that shall never fail.

Christ had now gone through with his work, and finished it, Jn 17:4. For, as for God, his work is perfect; when I begin, saith he, I will also make an end. And, as in the purchase, so in the application of the redemption, he that has begun a good work will perform it; the mystery of God shall be finished.(excerpts from Matthew Henry's Commentary)

It does seem all is not finished for the Fowlers of this world. They have incorporated their churches and congregations, many supplanting Y'shua as the head of the Church by taking a 501 c 3, tax exempt number. By collecting monies from "tithes," and the usage of their Social Security Numbers, they unknowingly and unwittingly have become an agent of the goobermint of AmeriKa.

They certainly have kicked HaShem Y'shua HaMechiach, The Lord Jesus, The Messiah, out as head of the church and allowed the goobermint in.
