Subject: PFAI and More Deception In The Church

According to Jack Howell: � (Tamarisk) he attempts to equate PFAI with the ecumenical movement,��.There are a number of things wrong with this latest rant of Tamarisk; the chief one being that it is quite obvious that Tamarisk has never bothered to read PFAI's Statement of Faith.It is also quite obvious that Tamarisk is unaware that affiliates of PFAI must agree with our Statement of Faith in order to become part of our fellowship This rules out ecumenicalism, since ecumenicalism recognizes all faiths regardless of doctrine, and this PFAI does not do. It is quite obvious that Catholics, Episcopalians, etc., could not and would not agree with our Statement of faith,�.. Since we do not allow into our fellowship those who do not agree with our Statement of Faith, it is quite apparent that we are not ecumenical. �.it is apparent that we are not ecumenical. Thus, it is quite obvious that Tamarisk did not do his homework and proper research. � (un-necessary and un-Godly flaming was deleted)

It is interesting that Jack Howell is allowed to read here and has attempted to hide his site from some of us here. What is he afraid of? Is he trying to hide the facts? Let�s look at them in light of Jack�s claims that PFAI�s members are not ecumenists. They are fairly straightforward.

QUOTES FROM �MICHAEL KEAR MINISTRIES� the founder of PFAI�s web page:

�North American Academy of Ecumenists
The goal of the North American Academy of Ecumenists is to inform, relate, and encourage men and women whose profession or ministry in the church involves them in ecumenical activities and studies. Its unique contribution is to provide ecumenists with an open structure for exploring issues too important to be left exclusively to official ecumenical agencies and projects.�

KEAR�S FAVORITE MUSIC:
�John Michael Talbot
Heavenly Music!�

Remember, the last time we exposed Mike Kear and his �favorite websites,� he deleted the links from his website within 24 hours after we exposed as aberrant. Maybe that is why Jack tries to keep us from reading his site. Sneaky little devils like the darkness.

So who is John Michael Talbot? What is the message he teaches? Why did I toss out all my own cassette tapes for the car many years ago, and leave them for BFI to pick up in the alley? Here is what one person reviewing his music has to say about it��

Remember Jack�s claims above when reading this.

� JOHN MICHAEL TALBOT (Monk and Recording Artist)

Reviewing one of his albums: "The Regathering. A call, to gather the dispersed traditions of our Christian heritage to evangelize the world."

Thus begins the description of John Michael Talbot's album; the art work includes pictures of Martin Luther, St. Peter's Basilica, St. Bernard, Zwingli, Calvin, St. Paul, John Wesley, Ignatius of Loyola (founder of the Jesuits and two Roman Catholic popes, Gregory the Great and Leo the Great. Talbot is a Franciscan monk whose cassettes are often sold in "Christian" book stores.

Talbot's explanation of this work is that it "is a musical work for Christian unity. Christians must stand together as a unified people to face the awesome challenges of our world. They are too great to face alone, or even as fragmented denominations, fellowships or groups. This is a time that demands unity."

Some of the lyrics appear to give glory to God, but when you read Talbot's explanations, it becomes apparent what the hidden motives really are. In his song, ONE FAITH, Talbot says he "drew from Ignatius of Antioch's ecclesiology of apostolic succession." He makes special mention of Simon Peter's having received the keys of the Kingdom, and speaks of regathering His people back home; into one fold and one faith. Those familiar with Roman Catholic ecclesiology know to what home, fold and faith Talbot is referring.

The theme of BUILD UP is the regathering that will take place as a result of God's forgiving our sin, which occurred in ONE FAITH when God caused the scattering because of false shepherds.

SAY TO THE PRISONER is a call from "Mother" Church, who will not forget her wandering child, to come, as during the trek home they will find green pastures. SEE MY SERVANT, according to Talbot, is meant to usher us through a door to actual fulfillment of the goal of the (prophetic) call; the unified worship. HAVE MERCY contains the actual words of the Kyrie Elieson of the Mass, thus establishing a link between Talbot's ecumenism and the theological center of Roman Catholicism. ALL WHO ARE THIRSTY is a call to the individual for commitment to unity, and symbolizes, for Talbot, "the mingling of water and wine in the Eucharist." The ending is supposed to remind us, says Talbot, "that the work of unity is not complete. It is only beginning,"

I urge Christians to visit their local religious book store and if this title (or any other title by Talbot) is available, to bring the contents to the attention of the owners. Some boycott stores that sell liquor; certainly this poison is even more deadly because of the ecumenical implications of all Talbot's work)�

Jack Howell states:"It is also quite obvious that Tamarisk is unaware that affiliates of PFAI must agree with our Statement of Faith in order to become part of our fellowship This rules out ecumenicalism, since ecumenicalism recognizes all faiths regardless of doctrine, and this PFAI does not do. It is quite obvious that Catholics, Episcopalians, etc., could not and would not agree with our Statement of faith,�.."

doesn't want me to read the posts at his site. Serpents don�t like accountability. Let's see if old honest Kear makes his links mentioned above do another disappearing act - AGAIN.
