When we first
took a
stand for the King James Bible many years ago, it never occurred
to us
that “King James-Only” meant “no Greek and no Hebrew.” It
was upon
reading Gail Riplinger’s most recent book, IN AWE OF THY WORD,
that we
discovered that the term “KJV-Only” was to be taken
literally. It
means that the King James Bible alone is divinely inspired,
perfect
and superior to all other translations and texts, including the
Greek
Textus Receptus and the Hebrew Masoretic Text.
We
have been,
and always will be “Textus Receptus Only,” and we mistakenly
assumed that
this was also the position of the leadership of the KJV-Only
movement.
Our discovery that this was not the case compelled us to write
this
lengthy expose of the heresy in Gail Riplinger’s book and other
false
teachings in King James Onlyism which we now understand is an
important
component of the Sionist conspiracy to eliminate the Christian
Bible,
especially the New Testament, in all of its expressions.

Watchmen on the Wall
Presently there are many ministries
which intercede for the United States and for the nations of the
world. No
serious Christian can doubt that evil men have come to power in the
world,
whose purpose is to overthrow free forms of government and to suppress
the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, few Christians seem to be aware that
this
same anti-Christ network has infiltrated the Church with a hidden
agenda of
subverting the true faith and converting believers to their false
religious
system.
This quiet intrusion of false
brethren into the life of the Church was foretold in the New
Testament.
Paul stated that, for three years, he did not cease to warn the Church
day and
night with tears: “For I know this, that after my departing shall
grievous
wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own
selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away
disciples after
them.” (Acts 20:29-31)
The book of Jude confirms Paul's
prediction: "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of
the
common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort
you that
ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered
unto the
saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before
of
old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of
our God
into lasciviousness, and deny the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus
Christ."
(Jude 4)
The Lord Jesus Christ must have
foreseen this great danger to His church when He related the following
parable: “Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time
is. For
the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house,
and gave
authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded
the porter
to watch.” (Mark 13:34)
Just as some are called to
positions of authority within the Body of Christ and others to serve
in
various ministries, there are also those who are called to be
watchmen. In
Israel, the watchman stood on the wall and notified the porter or
gatekeeper
of the identity of anyone who was approaching the city. Using a
similar
analogy, Jesus says that the gatekeeper will only open the door of the
sheepfold to the true Shepherd of the sheep. "Verily, verily, I say
unto you,
He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up
some
other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in
by the
door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the
sheep
hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them
out."
(John 10:1-3)
Apparently, it was the duty of the
watchman to warn and of the porter to protect the city from foreign
invaders.
Accordingly, there must be a parallel operation within the Church to
protect
it from outside enemies. God has called some to be 'watchmen on the
wall' to
warn those who labor inside and 'gatekeepers' protect the sheep.
The Lord Jesus also prophesied that
the period just before His return would be a time of unprecedented
deception.
In Matthew 24:24, He says that even the very elect would be deceived ~
if
possible. II Thessalonians 2:3 reveals that during this period there
would be
a great 'falling away' from the faith that was once delivered to the
saints.
It is difficult to comprehend how this could happen, until it is
understood
that this deception would come from within the Church ~ just as Paul
said it
would!
Today, the New Age
Movement and other elements of the New World Order have infiltrated
the
Bible-believing churches and are posing as Christian ministries.
According to
New Age author, Jeremy Rifkin, their expressed goal is to use the
Evangelical Church as the primary
instrument to bring the New World Order with its One World Religion to
birth. As a result of this conspiracy, many sincere Christians
are
being led into deception by the abundance of false teachers and
prophets on
the Christian scene and organizations that have the appearance of
doing good
works, but are apostate in their doctrine and practice.
The reader may
naively assume that the majority of professedly Christian leaders
could not possibly be
false teachers and false prophets because they are so widely
accepted.
For a more Scriptural perspective on this matter, we recommend reading
“The
Preacher As A False
Prophet” by Rev. James Stalker who stated
concerning Israel, our example:
“The false prophets
were strong, not only in their own numbers,
but in their popularity with the people. This told heavily
against the true
prophets; for the people could not believe that the one man, who was
standing alone, was right, and that his opponents, who were many,
were
wrong. The seats and the trappings of office always affect the
multitude,
who are slow to come to the conclusion that the teachers under whom
they
find themselves in providence can be misleading them... If
they are going wrong, they will generally get the majority
of the people to follow them. So completely may this be the
case, that by
degrees the popular taste is vitiated and will not endure any other
teaching
than that to which it has been accustomed, though it be false.
There is no
sadder verse in all prophecy than the complaint of Jeremiah, ’The
prophets prophesy falsely, and My people love to have it so.’
Like
prophet, like people; the public mind may be so habituated to what
is false,
and satisfied with it, that it has no taste or even tolerance for
the true. Jeremiah could not gain a hearing for his stern and
weighty message from
ears accustomed to the light and frivolous views of the false
prophets; and
to Baruch, his young coadjutor and amanuensis, who was starting on
the
prophetic career with the high hopes of youth, he had to deliver the
chilling message, ’Seekest thou great things for thyself?
seek them not.’ The path to popularity and eminence
was not open to anyone who did not speak according to the prevailing
fashion.”
Foreseeing the great end-time
apostasy, when the multitudes would not endure sound doctrine, our
gracious
Lord advised us how to recognize and avoid the spiritual deception
that would
engulf the Church. In many passages, such as Luke 21:34-36, He
cautions his
disciples to 'watch and pray' that they may be accounted worthy to
escape the
time of deception that will surely come to pass. I Peter 4:7
warns, “But
the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch
unto
prayer.” The apostle Peter had learned well the antidote to
temptation, for
these were the very words of warning that Jesus spoke to him prior to
his own
falling away and denial of his Lord. (Mark 14:38) Because he had
learned to
heed these words of Jesus, Peter ultimately glorified the Lord through
his
life and death.
Watch Unto Prayer is comprised of
those who believe that God has called them to watch and pray for the
Church.
Over the past several years we have evolved into a loosely-knit group
of
Christian researchers, primarily women, who live in various parts of
the
United States. Our work is not pastoral ministry or teaching, but
investigation of the various New Age trends, movements and change
agents which
have infiltrated the Christian community with a view to subverting the
Christian faith. Our objective is to report our findings to interested
Christians so they will become informed, pray and inform others.
Many
pastors and others in Christian ministry do not have the time for this
kind of
research and find our material helpful. We are not affiliated with one
particular church or denomination, but we do adhere to the following
STATEMENT OF FAITH.
If you
also have a burden for the spiritual condition of the Church, you are
invited
to subscribe to the Watch Unto Prayer ministry. Each Watchman will
receive
notification of new reports via e-mail. The reports are a means of
sharing
information on the serious issues that warrant prayer for the Body of
Christ.
Although such knowledge is personally necessary for each believer, it
is not
an end in itself. Ours is not a ministry of merely exposing deception
in the
Church, although we are called to do so. Rather, the Watch Unto
Prayer
ministry has the ultimate purpose of rescuing God’s people from the
present
apostasy. Who among us can say we have never been deceived? As we
become
informed of the deceptions that are presently overtaking the Church,
and
perhaps even ourselves, may we look to the Word of God with the sense
of our
own dependence upon God's grace for understanding and for the proper
guidelines for prayer.
WATCH &
PRAY…
For
spiritual
discernment within the Church and a disposition to try the
spirits
and to prove all things, whether they are from God. (I John
4:1-3; I
Thess. 5:21)
That
Christians
will look only to the Word of God as the foundation for
sound
doctrine and prophecy, rather than trusting in men,
experiences, or
their own understanding. (Prov. 3:5-7; II Tim. 3:16,17; Jer.
3:15,
23:28; II Pet. 1:20)
That
pastors,
teachers and other Christian leaders will not be deceived,
but will
warn and protect the flocks which are entrusted to their
care and
for which they will give an account. (I Pet. 5:2; Acts
20:28; Heb.
13:17; see also Jer. 23 and Ezek. 34)
That
those who are
false prophets posing as Christian leaders will be exposed,
reproved, and their teachings rejected by the Church. (II
John 10;
Titus 3:10,11; II Tim. 3:8,9; Eph. 5:11)
That God
will
raise up men and women of true spiritual stature to contend
for the
faith that was once delivered to the saints in Scripture.
(Jude 3;
Eph. 5:11)
That God
will
enlist men and women of prayer to intercede for the Body of
Christ
in these perilous times. (Eph. 6:18; I Pet. 5:8; I John
5:16)
