Why Bible Presbyterian churches split? Because of Bible version !
Some Churches now a day do not care much about what Bible versions you are using ! If you do not believe, do a survey, then you will know how important is Bible version.
Basically they stick to the simple Christianity, in God we trust.
Bible version is not the problem any longer ! Do not make this as a problem, do not make this as an excuse to split!
The charismatic has split the churches last decades, in the begining they said, "speaking in tongue" is a sign of a believer's salvation, they said if you do not speak in tongue, you are not saved....this was a serious mistake. Then they change their view about tongue...Then they say, "speaking in tongue" in a sign of the filling of the Holy Spirit, or the fullness of the Spirit...this was also another mistake, later they change their view again. Lastly some charismatic, see the tongue speaking is a spiritual gift, mainly for prayer. Some may speak, and some may not speak in tongue. Now they understand the Bible, not all speak in tongue! Even speak in tongue also must be controlled, 2 or 3 speak in church, not all together, now they understand the Bible better, before that they are carried away by emotions and feelings.
Now a day, charismatic churches see "tongue speaking is not a problem." Off course there are still some hard headed charismatic insisting "speaking in tongue" is a sign of salvation, but they are becoming lesser and lesser now a day. The charismatic had done many mistake in dealing with the tongue speaking issue, God still use them to revive many churches, to look seriously into the gifts, miracles and healings, even the Holy Spirit.
What about Bible Presbyterian churches in Singapore, they are doing the same mistake like the Charismatic, the BP churches are insisting, KJV is the best Bible version, the Greek and Hebrew text of the KJV is perfect without errors! This is a serious mistake, this will takes sometimes to be corrected. Unholy split among BP churches needs to be amended.
The BP is making mistake like the charismatic! I think both denomination do not learn the lessons from each other well enough! History repeat itself again last few years.
Because of so many splits among the churches, due to small fractions, small issues, lastly most churches, tired of these splits, now they start to understand the Bible better, that denomination is not an important issue any longer, many denominations have their distinctions and differences, but they do not see that a problem to split any longer.
That is why you hear some say "there is no absolute truth even in all the churches....no even one hold the perfect truth, each has it own strong and weak point" Now, a day, churches work together closer, without looking into the Bible versions, NIV or KJV or even its perfect Greek and Hebrew, tongue speaking, and denominations.
Do not speak of to put a person into court just because of a "Bible version choice"
Do not speak of to put a person into court just because of a "few missing words."
Do not speak of to put a person into custody just because of a ".................," you name it.
The Bible wants us to speak in love...
The Bible wants us to speak the truth in love...
The Bible wants us to speak ...................you name it.
The churces are too tired of splits! Let us rest in unity. Why not?
Why not stay in unity in ICCC, this is at least what we can do!
Why not stay together in peace in ICCC, this is at least we may look for in ICCC!
Why not ?

Acts 6:4
"...to pray and the ministry of the word..."(Acts 6:4)
Worship is our priority in ministry,
praying is the source of our strength,
Preaching is our lifestyles.
First declaration declared that worship God is a primary ministry....secondly praying is the way to receive power....and thidly, preaching the gospel is the way of life.
If you accept Verbal Plenary Preservation...that means you do not agree in all these declarations at all....Why? Because you are quarreling because of a few majority scripture texts...a few word are missing here and there, but you make it as big as a mountain issue...my dear...worship.....prayer and preaching the gospel, are more important than those few missing words!
Look at a bigger picture, do not burn the whole forest in order to cut down a tree!
....some BP churches are spliting, quarreling, you are internal focusing rather than external focusing for the 6 odds years...
if i can achieve this "SAVE ONE SOUL A YEAR!" .....

Sathiya
sathiya is a tamil word, it means "truth"
sathiyum is another stronger word, the meaning is "I swear, or I take a oath to tell the truth.."
The Bible says, "The truth will set you free...Jesus Christ is the truth, the way and the life," (John 14:6)

A serious joke
If Dr Martin Luther the German, the 16th century reformer came to Singapore last year, 2008, pity to him, why I say like this, what happened to him if he came, he will received some warning letters from these people in FEBC, entitled "drawing snake with legs in Singapore", these are DoctorS of Theology, DoctorS of Philosophy, DoctorS of Ministry and some MBBS people, and they all will sue Dr Martin Luther in the High Court, for preaching and encouraging people to believe in an imperfect Bible other than KJV!
Dr Martin Luther said the New Testament writer omited some Word, he said this in his preaching, if convicted..So..Dr Martin Luther will be jailed at the Changi prison, you better go and visit him this 2009!
If John Calvin the France, came, he will be locked up at Changi Airport, for eating too much eggs, and drinking too much wine...If Charles Spurgeon, the British, came, he too will be caned 40 plus one...mainly because both of them were joining the new school, preaching with the imperfect bible....pity...sorry for them...
Wong Ming Tao will not come to Singapore, he will go to hide out with Billy Graham in Hujung Padang in Indonesia. He did not believe in VPP either, read his view in his books...And many more people will be crucified up side down like St Peter, because of denying the VPP...bloody days in Christianity...Who else ... will escape from the jails and court order last years, if they came to Singapore?
If Dean Bur_gun came, what will happened to him last year? another scenery, red carpet will be laid from Changi airport up to Changi prison, and from the door of the prison, another layer, double layer of the red carpet will be laid, to Bikut Timah, and then from the top of the Bukit Timah, the red carpet must be laid too, down to PIE highway, and then the traffic police will lead all the way up to Bukit Timah, PIE, and with the Red Carpet laid, down to the FEBC, the high priest will sacrifice bulls, lambs, OX along the ways...and then parading to RELC, up to the presidential Hotel room. This is the old school class mate party time.
you know this is..
This is a very serious....joke!
I like to tell jokes, I am a joker playing cards.
I am a clown who like to entertain myself,
Forgive me, if you know I am weak..
Please do not put me to task, I do not have gut, that is why I put a Koala Bear, to represent me, and this blog is only my personal view, you may refuse my view, nothing wrong, I am not be 100% honest 100% right, go and search the Bible yourselves. See I am joking or not.

Our people
Our God, the Father in heaven,
The Malay, Chinese, Indian and other natives are adopted as my people,
Our people have suffer under the iron hands especially these few days,
Our people have been oppressed,
the oppressor had laid down nets and stumbling blocks for my people,
Our people have shed the blood on this land,
my people have serve this country their whole life,
my people have been cheated in so many ways,
my people have look for hope for the last 50 years,
my people have fallen away for the peace and prosperity,
my people have been fooled for so many years,
my people have been ill treated for the past decades,
my people have been praying for your helps,
my people have been under this racist bondage for so many generations,
Let go my people to serve and seek You,
I pray for the Malay, Chinese and Indians and native people,
increase the man power to evangelise to them,
send us more workers, for the labour is much,
I pray for the Kings, so that only one King speak at a time,
and that only one King rule at a time,
Cut down the iron hands which are griping my people,
free us from the iron hands and its netting,
Time is near, that this generation will see,
change in my country,
the kingdom will come to an end,
and my people are start to breathe new air,
and my people will see sun light soon,
darkness will soon be gone from this land,
should the blood be shed for a time,
is this the price we have to pay for our freedom!
God up hold us in with Your protection,
if we have to pay with our blood, we will pay with our blood,
may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,
I pray for our enemy, give them long life to see peace,
May God bless our enemy this time,
Make the bank empty a time,
and let the people become richer a moment,
Lord God for many who are poor they have become thieves,
may God also bless them and forgive them,
because of food, they steal and rob,
may God forgive them, may God give a pair of diligent hands,
and let them stay away from murders and great sins,
take us through this moment,
let the sky stopped and shut in,
until the war end.
In Jesus Christ's Name I pray, Amen.
Sons of a dragon
We were told that we are the descendent of the dragon for the last 5000 years! We were told that our mother tongue is the Beijing Mandarin! We were told that the mandarin can unite us the descendent of the dragon! The Manchurian is not Chinese! WE are the People of the Han!
One day the Chinese Emperor, sons of Mao the Bar-fellow, requested his troops to aim all their rockets facing Taiwan, and he send armies to warn the people in Taiwan, so that they will not to call themselves a country.
How big is Taiwan, a dot in the world map, how big is China? Is the China is not big enough? Why Taiwan does not want to be a part of the main land China?
Are they Chinese? Are they speak the same languages? Aren't they call themselves the son of dragon? Are they united? ..This is the heritage of the Chinese people! We should reject this mindset to slip into out mind! Never let the imperialism of the dragon come rule over us!
We are the Nanyang Chinese people, we too have this 5000 years of imperialism in our mind!
Are the theologians behaving like a Chinese Emperor? Think about this! Do you think the theologians, claiming the KJV, 16th century King James English may unite the "son of the dragon" the Chinese? Do you think the son of the dragon had already changed, to become the children of God? Are we ready for the change in us? The people of Sinim? Chin?
Am I not a child of God..if I am..a disqualified child! May God saved me...!
Even the whole world speak one language, Chinese Mandarin, drink mandarin juice, there is no peace in the world, there is no unity in the Chinese world, peace only come in Jesus Christ! The Prince of peace..
let the Prince of Peace rules our Chinese Empayer and Bible Colleges, no other way! Trust and obey, there is no other way, to be happy in Jesus, is to trust and obey...
I hope the Chinese scholars in Far Eastern Bible College will return to the Lord, put down their crowns, and bow down to Jesus Christ, our God and Savior.

Sound minded
What is the differences between a normal human being and the terrorist?
I guess the answer probably is "Sound mind" and "High minded"
2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 3:4
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
I know i am a highminded man ! That is why I am a terrorist, not a 007 man!
Sound mind needed in tackling the problem of the Verbal Plenary Preservation,..... the perfect underlying text of the KJV,..... in Greek and Hebrew,...... in a perfect TR!

Bird Houses
Did you hear this saying before? "Every where the Koreans go, they will try to start a church...Every where the Chinese go, they will try to open a restaurant...it is true?"
Now a day, Churches some where here, have a new trend, they do not depend to the church member to give offering any longer, why the church members do not be encouraged to give to the church, because they felt the church is richer then before, how come the church is richer without offering from the church members? let me tell you, why.
Because churches are doing business, they build Bird Houses, Swallow Houses, like a bungalow, with small holes, equipped with sound system and water. Those bird houses which can keep the bird, which produces bird nest, a bird house like this can give return to the church 2 or 3 thousand a mouth, imagine 3 bird houses! 7-9 thousand a month.
I met a brother in Christ one day, he has many bird houses near the town, he said, "the birds came from the air, strange phenomena, sometime they came, sometime they do not, the money surely is from God! God bless him with the bird houses." So sometime he will skip worship, to work in the bird houses..
So his friend, a pastor also build many bird houses, and now he is busy with the bird houses, he does not care how much the church member gives to the church, he has income through the bird houses. Every where the pastor go, he will build Bird Houses!
How about this new trend?..

Good Morning, Singapura!
When I was still very young, two women were raped and killed by some unknown personal with machine gun at the hills in the early morning, they were on the way for rubber tapping. They were killed by armed personal. I remembered their coffins were put at 2 lorries and carry out from our village, and their family members cried aloud along the road in departing with the deceased. That day was my saddest day in my child hood, induced to us, the hate to those violence, and killings and unjust, but we have to grow and bear with.
Few years ago, a group of terrorists hijacked a army camp, and stolen some 200 over M16, bombs and other weapons, they took over a hill, and they had a gun fight at the hill side with the police and army, two army and police personal were killed in that incident. They hidden on that hill for few days, at last they surrendered to the police.
During those few days hide out, one of the terrorist came to talk to me near the riverside, without my expectation, my friend and me were taking a rest there, there he came ..we had a long talk, about 2 hours. It was during that hours, I found out I am sitting with an unusual human on earth, a terrorist, interviewed me! With authority!
Terrorists are real, they are living with us! I am not scare of them until 911, they shown us how dangerous they are! We are living in a constant warfare, I do not asking for this warfare, we are innocent, we have to live with it. They are very near to us!
To fight the Chinese, they have Chinese terrorists, good looking guys, smart and highly educated, living ordinary life like a church goer, some are pagan, some of them doing business, they are unusual, you know, they had agenda hidden! Not simple! Under covered life, rich and poor. Some even behave like a mad guy, but under covered, to collect information.
To fight back, you must become a terrorist like them! Think like a terrorists! But not to be taken over by the terrorism, because murder is wrong, it is from the devil, Satan is the murderer and liar from the beginning.
But sad to tell you, there is another kind of terrorism, spiritual terrorism, in Christian circle, to destroy the Bible Presbyterian Church, the BP, the terrorist must become a BP pastor or elder or scholar, he then sneak into BP, and with BP, day in, day out, until he won the BP trust, and there he show us his way...I hope there is a U turn for Christian fundamentalists, but it seem no way, one way ticket to the blue...terrorism in BP circle.
Can't we put down our weapon like those terrorists? Like those who took over the hillside, can't we make peace for a while? Aren't we brethren in Christ? Aren't BP have 7 roots, aren't they are strong rooted together as a tree, bearing good fruits?
Aren't there in bond in Christ body, with the blood shed for every one of them, aren't they are called together?
Why the old school and the new school cannot cohabit? Adopt one another in the Bible truth, give a way of surrender! A white flag for Christianity, is not a shame, for all goodness and unity, a white flag is needed for christian brothers, we need a white flag in Bible Presbyterian Church!

I am a happy man...
Some days ago, I met some happy Chinese Christian men, ..happy go lucky men...
They like to sing a song, "I am a happy men, doing the happy thing. I am a happy man, doing the rightful thing..."
"I am a happy man...happy man...doing the happy things..."
You know what I find out about these Chinese... these happy Chinese men...go lucky men,
I wonder why they are so happy, they are happy! Off course, they are happy!
One day I find out one of them never agree to give tithes for the last ten odds years...
Are they still the happy men?
Read Malachi 3:8
"Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. "But you ask, 'How do we rob you?' "In tithes and offerings.
Are we a happy man? Doing the happy thing?
Happy Chinese men have to give tithes or not?
We must give tithes!
Are we robbing God?
They like to sing a song, "I am a happy men, doing the happy thing. I am a happy man, doing the rightful thing..."
"I am a happy man...happy man...doing the happy things..."
You know what I find out about these Chinese... these happy Chinese men...go lucky men,

"Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. "But you ask, 'How do we rob you?' "In tithes and offerings.
Are we a happy man? Doing the happy thing?
Happy Chinese men have to give tithes or not?
We must give tithes!
Are we robbing God?
First Admonition!
I hereby pronounce and proclaim, curse to the day I was born into this earth, it is better for me not to be born into this earth, Curse onto me! Woe onto me!
Let me die earlier, so if that is the way to meet my God! If that is the way for me to seek His helps! Even my fellow Chinese came to curse and mock on me. Because for some money, they asked me, where is your God?
Hear what the Scripture says,
Malachi 2
Admonition for the Priests
1 "And now this admonition is for you, O priests. 2 If you do not listen, and if you do not set your heart to honor my name," says the LORD Almighty, "I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not set your heart to honor me.
3 "Because of you I will rebuke your descendants ; I will spread on your faces the offering from your festival sacrifices, and you will be carried off with it. 4 And you will know that I have sent you this admonition so that my covenant with Levi may continue," says the LORD Almighty. 5 "My covenant was with him, a covenant of life and peace, and I gave them to him; this called for reverence and he revered me and stood in awe of my name. 6 True instruction was in his mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many from sin.
7 "For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction—because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty. 8 But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi," says the LORD Almighty. 9 "So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not followed my ways but have shown partiality in matters of the law."
Paul wrote .....in 1 Corinthians 16:22......If anyone does not love the Lord—a curse be on him.
That is the reason....Curse onto me...woe onto me!
1 Corinthians 9:27, No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
Curse onto me this day, ..... I had disqualified myself to be a Christian on earth! Woe onto me this day whenever I live one more day on earth.
Can the theologians in FEBC bless us and qualify us ? No! Can the pastors from B-P churches come and bless and qualify us? No!
Furthermore, curse onto us the Chinese! Because we Chinese are so Greedy! We Chinese are so Proud and so arrogant!
Living in disunity for the last 5000 years! Even our Christian Chinese are so greedy, proud and arrogant! But we never admit that... Look at what we had done in Singapore Bible Presbyterian Churches, that small Newton Gilstead Road! We Bible Presbyterians sued one another in open day Light.
Woe onto us the Chinese on this day, no one, no one Chinese can take richness from this world, and be satisfied with it and escape hell, curse is the day the Chinese live on this earth because we continue to oppress and curse the poor and the sick! Curse and woe on to us!
No one on earth can bless us the Chinese! Accept the Lord Jesus Himself. The blessing is in Jesus Christ...
Acts 4:12, "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Curse is the day when I was born into this earth! Do not complaint about the Bible Versions anymore! We Chinese has No excuse! Stop quarreling among ourselves.
Woe onto us, because we do not preach Christ! Woe onto us the poor Chinese, proud Chinese, arrogant Chinese....Money...Money...Money...has overruled the Chinese, curse onto us!
May God have mercy on us the Chinese...
May God bless us...

Life is Great
God promised to us, like a gentlemen He says:
"I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:20)
"I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:20)
The Reformer Dr. Martin Luther's view on Scripture Texts
Quoted from John Nicholas Lenker, "Sermon of Martin Luther, Volume 1, Sermon on Gospel Texts for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany." (Grand Rapids, Baker Books)
Dr Martin Luther preached this when he was comparing Zech 9:9 with Matthew 21:4-5.
"...First we must keep in mind that the Evangelists do not quote the prophets word by word, it is enough for them to have the same meaning and to show the fulfillment, directing us to the Scriptures so that we ourselves may read, what they omit, and see for ourselves that that nothing was written which is not richly fulfilled. It is natural, also, that he who has the substance and fulfillment, does not care so much for the words. Thus we often find that the Evangelists quotes the prophets somewhat changed, yet it is done without detriment to the understanding and intent of the original." (page 29-30)
"The Holy Spirit led the apostles...so that we might be kept close to the holy Scripture, and not set a bad example to future exegetes ...Hence, with such incomplete quotations he directs us to the original book where they can be found complete, so that there is no need for everyone to make a separate book and leave the first one." (page 31)
"...We notice,therefore, that it is the intention of all the apostles and evangelists in the New Testament to direct and drive us to the Old Testament, which they call the Holy Scriptures proper. For the New Testament was to be only the incarnate living Word and not scripture. Hence Christ did not write anything himself, but gave the command to preach and extend the Gospel, which lay hidden in the Scriptures, as we shall hear on Epiphany Sunday. (page 31)
Dr. Martin Luther admitted that the Scripture were not verbatim, in quotation and translation by the Apostles.
Dr. Martin Luther said that the Apostles did not care much for the words.
Dr. Martin Luther's sermon was pointing to the Living Word.

Do not worry
Be honest, I am not a secret agent like you, because I am not educated. But you know, there is a anti-terrorist booklet in the blog space.
One writer wrote in that booklet:
Preface:
The police is not tapping our internet usage at all, and they do not know what is wireless or wifi, so blogger is hidden from the police's eyes.
And our hand phones and computers have no spyware and virus at all, and the they will not listen into our conversation.
And the undercover agent cannot drive a car to follow our journey, because they are blind.
And the thieve will not climb up the rooftop at night..because they are lame...
and they will not harm you because they are for peace...
and they will not cut your telephone line to hear and see what is happening in your brain...since they do not know where is your telephone line...
the secret agent will sleep at night like you, and they will not spy and keep watching on you...because they are not paid by anyone for this...
the authority will not pressing on your windows and doors at night, hoping the windows and doors are not closed at night...
and they do not know what is biological warfare, because they do not have any spectacles in their home, do not worry at all,
and the terrorists are kind and sweet at first look, so do not worry at all...and they do not run any website at all, they do not know how to sent messages through the cookies, so do not worry...
and they do not know how to denote a bomb so they put into their pockets and they carry the bomb around, so do not worry at all..
and they will pray and pray until fire ran down from heaven, and they say it is to kill and destroy those mental ill patients like me...do not worry at all..
and they will not hear what you say even you shout in your bathroom, because they do not know how to put an ear in the wall...do not worry at all..
and they are too busy to put any camera to keep watching a place, because they are keep on watching TV day and night.
and the terrorists are not so clever, they wrote a mark "VPP" at their forehead, and walking around like a zombie...so do not worry at all...
and all the teachers and headmasters, lawyers, every one you know or people you do not know, they are all good people, so do not worry at all, they are kind and good, do not complaint at all, so do not worry at all...all Bible-Presbyterian in Singapore, and all their scholars are reformed and faithful to the end, so you do not worry!
and the politicians are all clean and cleansed, so do not worry at all...
even so do not worry at all, the terrorists are not invisible, we can see them, they are not God, they are around us, living like us. Be normal, act normal, pretend to hear nothing, see nothing, speak nothing...living like a stupid man...so do not worry about them,
Why we have to worry? Since there is no terrorist in our country?
"Do not worry for tomorrow, tomorrow has it's own worries!"
"Why you worry about your Bible, worry about the Bible and its future ?"
If you still worry about this, worry about that, you little faith, remember your faith like a mustard seed still can move mountains.
Furthermore, even the Bangali bravely told us, do not worry, "My body guard is in heaven!"
"Why you worry?" "Do not worry!" ...."Say Be happy, say... No VPP!"
Say cheese, cheese, cheese!
Am I thinking rightly?

Meditation from the Psalm 43
Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me!
For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me?
Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!
.....
The THEOLOGIANS PREACHED:
Keep on fleeing youthful lust...apply to young mEn like us, we agreed totally, BUT THEN I try to put into the theologians shoes, "keep on fleeing theologian's lust. What is the theologian's lust? THEY SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS A THEOLOGIAN'S LUST.
ELI, ELI, ELI, THE HIGH PRIEST IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, WHY YOU FELL BACKWARD AND DIED? WHY YOUR SONS WERE SO CRUEL TO THOSE WHO ARE WEAK, THOSE WHO CAME TO WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE TEMPLE, YOUR SONS WENT TO DISTURB THEM? WHY YOU DID NOT STOP THEM? ELI, ELI, ELI?
Circle a right answer below to discribe the theologians in Far Eastern Bible College:
A. ABSOLUTE POWER ABSOLUTE CORRUPTION. MAKING FUN WITH THE POWER IN BP circle. Who is the head in Bible Presbyterian Church? Jeffrey or Charles?
B. They EAT TOO MUCH AND they are VERY FREE !
C. THERE IS ANOTHER Way, OTHER THAN CHRIST, theologian's SELF AND DOCTRINE OF VPP.
D. TO DESTROY BIBLE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES AND Far Eastern Bible College.
E. TO PLAY GOD IN THE COURT ROOM, BIBLE COLLEGE, CHURCHES, SOUTH EAST ASIA, USA.
F. TO CREATE MORE QUARRELS AND DEBATES IN THE CHRISTIAN DOM.
G. MAKING HASTE THE BUSINESS OF GOD KINGDOM WITH MEDICAL DOCTORS, LAWYERS, POLICEMEN, PASTORS, PREACHERS, ELDERS, WITH SECRET AGENT LIKE JAMES Bond, IN THE CIVIL COURT ROOM.
H. TO HAVE MORE THEOLOGIANS WITH STRINGS OF DEGREES, AND PHD IN THE CHURCH.
THE THEOLOGIANS ARE EATING AND WRITING, SLEEP, EAT AND WRITE, SLEEP, EAT AND WRITE, SLEEP, EAT AND WRITE, TEACH..TEACH..TEACH..SLEEP TEACH AND SLEEP...AH... BUT THEN THEY ARE GOING TO TEACH SOME MORE IN THE CIVIL COURT! 9A GILTEAD ROAD, SINGAPORE, IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THEOLOGICAL DEBATES, THE CIVIL COURT ROOM IS BETTER, THE DOCTORS SAID WHAT, "RUBBISH IN, RUBBISH OUT!" POINTING THEIR FINGERS AT YOU, "YOU ARE REJECTED BUT NOMINATED FOR OSCAR!"
I TRY TO BRING THEM TO THIS CORNER OF THE WWW, WORLD WIDE WEB, EVEN IN THIS SMALL BLOG, TO SPEAK TO THEM, REMEMBER THE KOALA BEAR, THEY ARE SLOW A BIT. DO NOT BE CRUEL TO THEM, Those small ANIMALS LIKE THE KOALA Bear, they have life!

Time is near!
I remembered when I was still very young, in the neighbourhood, an Indian Catholic boy came to evangelise to me, he shown me a picture, now I refresh it, the picture is like this:
........An angel stepping out from the sea, one of the leg is on the land, and one of the leg is still in the sea......
Pain of labour is started to be felt...time is near, soon, the great judgement is nearer our own states, above the air and space! God, the Living Great One, please hear the cries of your people down under. All faces will be turned into pail faces! .....Then the angel will walks into the land, and he will free us from bondage!
how long we have to wait?
i AM EDUCATED!
1. One day I heard an Indian man spoke like this, "I will cut down your hands, tell you again, I am educated!"
2. Another day I heard an church elder rebuked a poor pastor, "If you do not work, please do not eat at all."
3. Another day I heard another Insurance Agent mocked a poor Christian like this, "If you do not earn money and provide for your family, you are worsen than an unbeliever.Haha..Haha..Haha..please buy LIFE insurance...."
4. Another day, I heard another old man TEASING a young fisherman, "You are catching fish in an aquarium, haha, haha, haha, no wonder..."
5. Another day, I heard another man speaking, "Perfect Queen English is belongs to Catherine Davis. No one else, lets hear FROM her, SHE speaks in BBC again."
6. Another day, I heard another man speaks again, "ORIGINALLY BP churches IN SINGAPORE IS A PTE LTD COMPANY, now IT IS NO MORE A PTE LTD ...." We must have a perfect Bible!
Question for the theologians and doctors:

A cruel and murderous Indian nurse
There is a male Indian nurse living in a small town, and the poor christian came to know about him, the male nurse is working hard and earning money to sent his son to study medicine oversea.
People called this nurse as "doctor." He was only a nurse, looking after mental ill patients in the small town. One day the christian met a long time Chinese friend, she was very sad and angry about the Indian male nurse, because he had raped and molested her younger sister, her younger sister is having mental sickness, since her younger sister divorced with her husband, she went in and out from the hospital. She was under medications for a long time, once she was put under this nurse supervision, anyhow, she was raped and molested by the male nurse, because she was quite a good looking girl, the male nurse was tempted to do such a cruel thing on a sick and poor woman. The nurse raped many other women patients in his life as a nurse. And he punched and bitten those women, to silent those poor and helpless women, and he undercover his rape by using drugs on those poor women. The christian came to know about this matter. The christian is very sad about this nurse.
The male nurse became richer and richer, day by day he is happy with his life, never regret a bit about his wrong doings. One day, the nurse came to know that his wrongdoing was made known to the christian, the nurse started to become an enemy to the christian, and the nurse threaten to kill the christian and family, and he had done many things to disturb the poor christian mentally and physically, the poor christian pray to God until today, may God protect the christian from evil nurse and his harms.
Now the Indian said, it is becoming the christian's problem!
Who is seriously sick and need to be treated, the raped young woman, the nurse or the christian..
May God bless the nurse!

And he punched and bitten those women, to silent those poor and helpless women, and he undercover his rape by using drugs on those poor women. The christian came to know about this matter. The christian is very sad about this nurse.
The male nurse became richer and richer, day by day he is happy with his life, never regret a bit about his wrong doings. One day, the nurse came to know that his wrongdoing was made known to the christian, the nurse started to become an enemy to the christian, and the nurse threaten to kill the christian and family, and he had done many things to disturb the poor christian mentally and physically, the poor christian pray to God until today, may God protect the christian from evil nurse and his harms.
Now the Indian said, it is becoming the christian's problem!
Who is seriously sick and need to be treated, the raped young woman, the nurse or the christian..
May God bless the nurse!
A good and kind doctor
There is a doctor living in a small town, he is very well known, people around the town talked about him, they are saying the doctor is a good doctor and a kind one. The christian one day visited him, and personally come to understand that, this doctor is really as kind as people said about him.
One day, this poor christian went to his clinic. The poor christian was asked by a friend, to sent 2 old man and wife to see that doctor. The christian waited with the old couples in the clinic. The old couples insisted the christian to see the doctor, since the christian was not feeling well at that moment.
The christian whispered to the old couples, that we had only a 10 bucks note in his wallet, it was not enough to pay the doctor. But the old couples told the christian, ".. need not worry about the money, the doctor is kind, tell him that you are poor." the christian was afraid that he will be mistreated. The old couple explained to the poor christian. People knew the doctor's father well, he was a very poor man, working hard to earn money, rising his family and one of his son became a doctor, the son was sent to oversea to study medicine, at last the son becomes a good doctor, the father knew that is not enough, before he passed away, he called his son the good doctor to his sick bed, and advice him, "You must help the poor, remember once we were also poor like them, when you were still very young, we were very very poor. Remember to help the poor and sick in your clinic" Later, the father passed away. The son, as a good doctor, remembered his father's word well, he became a kind doctor. He had been good and kind to the poor and sick for so many years in the town. This is a true story, the good and kind doctor is still living in the mountainous town, people still talk about him until today.
So after sometime of waiting, it was the christian's turn to see the doctor, the christian went into the doctor room, the doctor was a middle aged man, and he asked the christian, what is wrong with him, and the christian told him, he was not well for few days, and he told the doctor how he felt, and the doctor type into his computer, and without any hesitation and delay, the christian told the doctor, he is poor and he had only 10 bucks in his wallet, the doctor listen carefully, silently and noded a little bit, and still typing and typing. And prescribed the suitable medicine for the christian, and doctor gently, let the christian went out. The christian went out from the room, and later he was asked by the doctor's nurse, to pay a small amount of money to take his medicine. The doctor had done a good thing to a total stranger!
The christian went home with the old couples, comforted, and now he knew there is still, and believe there are some good and kind doctor on this earth, and the story about this kind and good doctor is true. The old couple told the christian nothing but the truth. The old couples need not to swear or take an oath in telling his truth, the doctor need not to swear and take an oath to say he is good, but by his kindness and goodness, people believe in him, and he had faithfully keeping his father's words, "Help the poor and sick, remember how poor we were."
A good doctor is not good enough? The father asked his son to be a kind doctor! Believe it or not?

A doctor or a debtor ?
For so many years of Bible reading, I never come across Paul calls himself as a doctor, doctor of theology, or Phd, ThM, or medical doctor...but I remember he called himself as a debtor, a debtor of the Gospel, paying the debt of the Gospel.
Are you pursuing a Christian life? Or you are pursuing to be a theologian rather than a Christian? Are you pursuing to be a doctor or a debtor like Paul? Read the article below, about Paul, a debtor...
Life’s Greatest Adventure
by Dr. Adrian Rogers
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth . . . Romans 1:14-16 (emphasis added)
I believe that the greatest Christian who has ever lived was the apostle Paul. Before he was saved, he persecuted the Church of Jesus Christ — hauling Christians into prison and watching while some of them were literally put to death. But he met Jesus on the road to Damascus, and when Paul — who was then called Saul — saw Jesus, he asked Him the two greatest questions anyone can ever ask: “Who are You, Lord?” and “What would You have me to do?” He spent the rest of his life discovering the answers to those two questions.
Paul became the greatest missionary the world has ever known. What was it that so transformed him? I think the key is found in Paul’s repeated use of the phrase “I am …” to describe himself in the first chapter of Romans.
I Am a Debtor
First, Paul said, “I am a debtor …” He was faithful to the obligations of the Gospel. But to whom or to what was Paul indebted?
He was a debtor to Christ. In verse one, Paul introduced himself as, “Paul, A servant of Jesus Christ . . .” He saw himself a bond slave to the One Who had died for him.
He was a debtor to the conquerors of the past. In verse eight Paul said, “First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.” Paul realized that there were others who had suffered, bled, and died that he might know the Lord Jesus Christ — including Stephen who had died a martyr’s death as he watched.
He was a debtor to those around him. He said, “I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians . . .” Paul owed a debt to share the message of Christ with those around him.
I Am Ready
Not only was Paul a debtor, but he was flexible and ready for the opportunities of the Gospel. He was ready to preach the Gospel whatever it took.
He was ready to live. I hear people say, “I would die for Jesus.” But I want to know, “Will you live for Jesus?”
Paul was also ready to die. He was ready to preach the Gospel in Rome where I believe he lost his life. He knew the dangers, but he was ready to die for His Lord.
He was ready to go. In verse thirteen he said, “. . . I purposed to come unto you . . .” Are you flexible enough that God could step in and interrupt your plans and totally change the course of your life? Would you go where God leads?
Or he was ready to stay. In verse thirteen, he added, “. . . I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto) . . .” He was kept back or restrained. We don’t just up and go. Sometimes, God says, “go,” and sometimes He says, “stay.” Paul was ready — as we should be — to do whatever
I Am not Ashamed
Finally, Paul said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ . . .” There is one Person Who stands out above all of those who have ever lived or who ever will live, and His name is Jesus Christ. The purpose of the Gospel is to bring people to Him for salvation. And the Gospel, as we see in verse sixteen, is “the power of God unto salvation.” I am grateful for that divine dynamite. An atomic bomb with all its power could not blow the sin out of your heart; but there is a power that can make drunkards sober, crooked men straight, and profane men pure. And all anyone has to do is believe in Jesus. That’s it! All of the other religions of the world are spelled D-O, but Christianity is spelled D-O-N-E. It’s done! It is finished! Simply “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). Thankfully, Paul was not ashamed of this powerful Gospel.
Paul lived his life to bring others to Christ. He knew his obligation; he was ready; and he was not ashamed? Jesus transformed his life, and he wanted to tell the world about it. Are you ready for an adventure?

Psalm 12 vs Proverb 12
Open your Bible to Psalm 12, the FEBC theologians used this Psalm to support VPP!
I proposed them to read Proverb 12, to refute their wrong view, the Verbal Plenary Preserving the Underlying text, greek and hebrew Text of the KJV!
Proverbs 12:1, talk about instruction,
12:2, some will be condemned.
12:3, there is wickedness, do not say none.
12:4, where is virtuous woman.
12:5, there is deceit.
12:6, for blood, not for peace.
12:7, they will be overturned.
12:8, HAVING perverse heart.
12:9, who is honouring himself?
12:10, THEIR mercies are cruel!
12:11, void of understanding!
12:12, TAKEN THE net of the evil man.
12:13, HIS LIPS. LOOK!
12:14, fruit of his mouth.
12:15, fool is right in his eyes.
12;16, a fool's wrath.
12:17, a false witness.
12:18, VPP, A piercing of a sword.
12:19, a lying tongue.
12:20, AN imagineD evil.
12:21, A mischief.
12:22, this is abomination.
12:23, proclaimeth foolishness.
12:24, I am slothful.
12:25, heaviness!
12:26, THEY ARE seduced.
12:27, slothful man.
12:28, there is life in the pathway.
Where is wisdom in these Theologians in FEBC, you know why they become like this? Is Proverb 12 mentioning them? What good manner in these theologian, in dealing with fellow Christian, even FIGHTING in court room, to witness about Christ? Do you still want to follow these theologian until to the court room? Stop!
If they do not know why they become like this, there is another verse, perfect description about them,
Proverbs 13:10, ONLY BY PRIDE COMETH CONTENTION, BUT WITH THE WELL ADVISED IS WISDOM.
Why these theologians become like this, today? Answer is "Pride," but they will say they are humble, they are faithful. BUT they are "PROUD," AND BEHAVING LIKE THOSE MEDICAL DOCTOR.THESE THEOLOGIANS WHO ARE TEACHING VPP, IS GIVEN DRUGS AND PILLS, BY A MEDICAL DOCTORS, SO THEY LOST CONTROL, INSANE, HAVING FALSE IMAGINATION, CONTROLLED INDIRECTLY BY A MEDICAL DOCTOR. PRAY FOR THESE THEOLOGIANS, SO THAT THEY WILL Stop TAKING those DRUGS AND PILLS any longer.
WHAT KIND OF PILLS, THEY ARE Taking? Since YOU ASKED ME, LET ME TELL YOU, PILLS OF 'PRIDE,'Tablets of "pride," Soup of "pride."
Pride, pride, pride. Not VPP, but PPP!

A VERY SAD STATE OF THE BIBLE-PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN SINGAPORE TODAY
copied from http://www.gracebpc.org.sg/weekly/2009/Jan%202009/1101/gwc.htm
A warning from Pastor
I was raised a B-P Church member since 1960 when I first attended Galilee B-P Church in Pasir Panjang. I got to know Rev Timothy Tow at a very young age. I remembered Rev Tow visiting our family when we were living in No. 5 Pasir Panjang Road.
In 1974 the Lord called me into the full-time Christian ministry and I began my theological education in the Far Eastern Bible College (FEBC). I graduated in 1977 and served in Grace B-P Church. I have been in the B-P Church ever since.
I have seen the many good sides of the B-P Church. I have been blessed by her strong doctrinal teachings. FEBC was once a strong school of theology, producing many Bible believing pastors and full-time workers for the church. I am thankful to the Lord for FEBC and her fundamental teachings in those days.
The changes today in the B-P Church
Something has gone terribly wrong with the B-P denomination today. Just about six years ago, a new teaching was introduced into FEBC by some young lecturers. The Verbal Plenary Preservation (VPP) teaches that God has preserved certain Greek and Hebrew manuscripts which underline the King James Version (KJV). So these people say that God has given the English speaking world only one Bible, the KJV. To them, the KJV is the "inspired" Bible for the English speaking church. All other versions namely NKJV, NASB, NIV, ESV, etc, are corrupt versions. They will condemn anyone or any church that uses a version other than the KJV. They have even gone to the extreme to say that other Bible versions present a different Jesus from the KJV.
I have never, in all my life, in the B-P Church seen such extreme teaching which had led to church splits, name calling, and the soon to be, public court battle between FEBC and Life B-P Church.
This VPP teaching has been a curse in the B-P Church. Once upon a time, we were all united and growing strong together as a denomination. Today it is a laughing stock to the Christian community in Singapore.
This year especially is bad for the B-P Church as news of both FEBC and Life B-P Church's public court case have been announced in the papers. This is against God's Word. See what the apostle Paul has to say about this matter in 1 Cor. 6: 1- 6
"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!"
(NKJV)
How could believers who know God's Word do such a thing?
The VPP teaching has not been a blessing to the B-P denomination. Instead it has caused trouble and disunity.
For your information, a large majority of B-P Pastors are not supporting this teaching. We strongly oppose it. Very few B-P Pastors and B-P Churches are for this teaching. They should rightly call themselves the VPP B-P Church and not be confused with those of us who are the original B-P Church.
Churches which are for VPP:
" Calvary-Pandan BPC, Calvary Tengah BPC, Gethsemane BPC, True Life BPC, Truth BPC, Berean BPC
B-P Churches that are not for VPP:
" Life BPC, Olivet BPC, Grace BPC, Shalom BPC, Nazareth BPC, Galilee BPC, Maranatha BPC, Sharon BPC, Gospel Light BPC, Moriah BPC, Emmanuel BPC, Herald BPC, Calvary-Jurong BPC, Eden BPC, Jireh BPC, Macedonia BPC, Sembawang BPC, Zion BPC (Serangoon Gardens and Bishan), Faith BPC, All the Tamil B-P Churches, All the Mountain B-P Churches (i.e., Hebron, Herman, Mt. Carmel BPCs etc).
Be watchful
We live in the last days. The Bible warned of many false teachers coming into the church who will deceive even the elect. And sad to say, many will follow their pernicious way (2 Peter 2: 1-2).
The VPP Traits
We should know that these people are a very combative group.
One of the traits in this group of VPPers is to fight anyone who disagrees with them. The recent and earlier editions of "The Burning Bush", a publication of FEBC, and the writings and the correspondences of some of these advocates of VPPs resonate their argumentative attitude. "The Burning Bush" is targetted to combat non-VPPs. It was once an edifying magazine, but today, it is used to put down B-P pastors and elders who are not supportive of their cause. There is nothing edifying in this magazine which publishes only about VPP.
"The Burning Bush" has also been blasting the newly setup "Asia Seminary for Ministry" (ASM), in which Rev. Goh Seng Fong, Rev. Tan Choon Seng, Rev. Yap Beng Shin, Dn. John Chin and myself are the founding members. "ASM" has been accused of being neo-evangelical and ecumenical.
The aggressive nature of their correspondences in the many emails I have read is unbecoming of a Christian leader.
Split Churches
The issue of VPP creates a huge problem and results in split of Churches. This is witnessed in the States as well as on our own shores. Since the day VPP came to the B-P Church in Singapore, we had seen with our own eyes the problems encountered by Life B-P Church, Calvary-Jurong B-P Church and Calvary-Pandan B-P Church.
A Lack of Love
Another of their trait is the lack of love in dealing with fellow B-P pastors and elders over this issue. To them, this matter of VPP is life and death. If the B-P Pastor or Elder is not supporting them, they are swiftly condemned as neo-evangelicals or neo-fundamentalists. Their names are highlighted in their magazines and church weekly, etc. There is no personal and friendly conversation over how to solve this issue in a loving manner.
Name Calling
They are quick to call anyone who are not for their cause, neo-evangelicals, neo-fundamentalists, ecumenical, etc. They have also labelled fellow B-P pastors as liars. They have published openly the names of Bible colleges, seminaries and gave them such names.
Claim to possess the truth
They claim to have the perfect Bible. They have the "inspired" KJV with them. So long as other Christians do not use the KJV, they do not have the truth. To these people, all other Bible versions are corrupt and don't have the the Word of God. They are the only ones who have it because they use the KJV. So they have the truth. Is that so?
Martin Luther, the reformer, did not use the KJV. Did he have the truth of God's Word? What about Christians of other races, like the Indonesians, for example, whose Bibles are in the Indonesian language, do they have the truth of God's Word? What about Christian leaders like John MacArthur who uses ESV or NASB? Is he teaching the truth from God's Word?
Do not fear at all, my brethren! We have the truth of God's Word in other Bible versions and diverse languages. God did not give us one Bible version only, i.e., the KJV, even though we may love this version.
"In the first place, then, let it be said that we believers in the plenary inspiration of the Bible do not hold that the Authorized Version or any other form of the English Bible is inspired. I beg your pardon for saying anything so obvious as that, but, do you know, my friends, it is necessary to say it. There are scarcely any limits to the ignorance which is attributed to us today by people who have never given themselves the trouble to discover what our view really is. Let it be said then very plainly that we do not hold that the Authorized Version or any other form of the English Bible is inspired. We are really quite well aware of the fact that the Bible was written in Hebrew and in Greek. The Authorized Version is a translation from the Hebrew and the Greek. It is a marvelously good translation, but it is not a perfect translation. There are errors in it. The translators were not supernaturally preserved from making mistakes. It is not inspired."
"Is the Bible the Word of God?"
(A quote by J. Gresham Machen taken "The Christian Faith in the Modern World" 1936)
Claim to defend the truth?
VPPers like to see themselves as defenders of the truth. It seems that they see themselves as the only ones who have the perfect and "inspired" Bible (the KJV) and they are defending this Bible version. Anyone who speak against this version is immediately taken to task.
Conclusion
Has not the original B-P Church been defending the truth since the days of Rev. Timothy Tow? We have been taught and we will continue to teach our B-P Church members that God has given to us the inspired, inerrant Word of God in the original autographs. This is VPI (Verbal Plenary Inspiration). We have never heard of VPP which is a new and strange teaching that has infiltrated the B-P Church some years ago. We have defended the truth of God's Word and we will continue to do so. We will defend our flock against this teaching of VPP. That is what the original B-P Church is doing today. So who is the original B-P Church? Are we not the ones?

Something has gone terribly wrong with the B-P denomination today. Just about six years ago, a new teaching was introduced into FEBC by some young lecturers. The Verbal Plenary Preservation (VPP) teaches that God has preserved certain Greek and Hebrew manuscripts which underline the King James Version (KJV). So these people say that God has given the English speaking world only one Bible, the KJV. To them, the KJV is the "inspired" Bible for the English speaking church. All other versions namely NKJV, NASB, NIV, ESV, etc, are corrupt versions. They will condemn anyone or any church that uses a version other than the KJV. They have even gone to the extreme to say that other Bible versions present a different Jesus from the KJV.
I have never, in all my life, in the B-P Church seen such extreme teaching which had led to church splits, name calling, and the soon to be, public court battle between FEBC and Life B-P Church.
This VPP teaching has been a curse in the B-P Church. Once upon a time, we were all united and growing strong together as a denomination. Today it is a laughing stock to the Christian community in Singapore.
This year especially is bad for the B-P Church as news of both FEBC and Life B-P Church's public court case have been announced in the papers. This is against God's Word. See what the apostle Paul has to say about this matter in 1 Cor. 6: 1- 6
"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!"
(NKJV)
How could believers who know God's Word do such a thing?
The VPP teaching has not been a blessing to the B-P denomination. Instead it has caused trouble and disunity.
For your information, a large majority of B-P Pastors are not supporting this teaching. We strongly oppose it. Very few B-P Pastors and B-P Churches are for this teaching. They should rightly call themselves the VPP B-P Church and not be confused with those of us who are the original B-P Church.
Churches which are for VPP:
" Calvary-Pandan BPC, Calvary Tengah BPC, Gethsemane BPC, True Life BPC, Truth BPC, Berean BPC
B-P Churches that are not for VPP:
" Life BPC, Olivet BPC, Grace BPC, Shalom BPC, Nazareth BPC, Galilee BPC, Maranatha BPC, Sharon BPC, Gospel Light BPC, Moriah BPC, Emmanuel BPC, Herald BPC, Calvary-Jurong BPC, Eden BPC, Jireh BPC, Macedonia BPC, Sembawang BPC, Zion BPC (Serangoon Gardens and Bishan), Faith BPC, All the Tamil B-P Churches, All the Mountain B-P Churches (i.e., Hebron, Herman, Mt. Carmel BPCs etc).
Be watchful
We live in the last days. The Bible warned of many false teachers coming into the church who will deceive even the elect. And sad to say, many will follow their pernicious way (2 Peter 2: 1-2).
The VPP Traits
We should know that these people are a very combative group.
One of the traits in this group of VPPers is to fight anyone who disagrees with them. The recent and earlier editions of "The Burning Bush", a publication of FEBC, and the writings and the correspondences of some of these advocates of VPPs resonate their argumentative attitude. "The Burning Bush" is targetted to combat non-VPPs. It was once an edifying magazine, but today, it is used to put down B-P pastors and elders who are not supportive of their cause. There is nothing edifying in this magazine which publishes only about VPP.
"The Burning Bush" has also been blasting the newly setup "Asia Seminary for Ministry" (ASM), in which Rev. Goh Seng Fong, Rev. Tan Choon Seng, Rev. Yap Beng Shin, Dn. John Chin and myself are the founding members. "ASM" has been accused of being neo-evangelical and ecumenical.
The aggressive nature of their correspondences in the many emails I have read is unbecoming of a Christian leader.
Split Churches
The issue of VPP creates a huge problem and results in split of Churches. This is witnessed in the States as well as on our own shores. Since the day VPP came to the B-P Church in Singapore, we had seen with our own eyes the problems encountered by Life B-P Church, Calvary-Jurong B-P Church and Calvary-Pandan B-P Church.
A Lack of Love
Another of their trait is the lack of love in dealing with fellow B-P pastors and elders over this issue. To them, this matter of VPP is life and death. If the B-P Pastor or Elder is not supporting them, they are swiftly condemned as neo-evangelicals or neo-fundamentalists. Their names are highlighted in their magazines and church weekly, etc. There is no personal and friendly conversation over how to solve this issue in a loving manner.
Name Calling
They are quick to call anyone who are not for their cause, neo-evangelicals, neo-fundamentalists, ecumenical, etc. They have also labelled fellow B-P pastors as liars. They have published openly the names of Bible colleges, seminaries and gave them such names.
Claim to possess the truth
They claim to have the perfect Bible. They have the "inspired" KJV with them. So long as other Christians do not use the KJV, they do not have the truth. To these people, all other Bible versions are corrupt and don't have the the Word of God. They are the only ones who have it because they use the KJV. So they have the truth. Is that so?
Martin Luther, the reformer, did not use the KJV. Did he have the truth of God's Word? What about Christians of other races, like the Indonesians, for example, whose Bibles are in the Indonesian language, do they have the truth of God's Word? What about Christian leaders like John MacArthur who uses ESV or NASB? Is he teaching the truth from God's Word?
Do not fear at all, my brethren! We have the truth of God's Word in other Bible versions and diverse languages. God did not give us one Bible version only, i.e., the KJV, even though we may love this version.
"In the first place, then, let it be said that we believers in the plenary inspiration of the Bible do not hold that the Authorized Version or any other form of the English Bible is inspired. I beg your pardon for saying anything so obvious as that, but, do you know, my friends, it is necessary to say it. There are scarcely any limits to the ignorance which is attributed to us today by people who have never given themselves the trouble to discover what our view really is. Let it be said then very plainly that we do not hold that the Authorized Version or any other form of the English Bible is inspired. We are really quite well aware of the fact that the Bible was written in Hebrew and in Greek. The Authorized Version is a translation from the Hebrew and the Greek. It is a marvelously good translation, but it is not a perfect translation. There are errors in it. The translators were not supernaturally preserved from making mistakes. It is not inspired."
"Is the Bible the Word of God?"
(A quote by J. Gresham Machen taken "The Christian Faith in the Modern World" 1936)
Claim to defend the truth?
VPPers like to see themselves as defenders of the truth. It seems that they see themselves as the only ones who have the perfect and "inspired" Bible (the KJV) and they are defending this Bible version. Anyone who speak against this version is immediately taken to task.
Conclusion
Has not the original B-P Church been defending the truth since the days of Rev. Timothy Tow? We have been taught and we will continue to teach our B-P Church members that God has given to us the inspired, inerrant Word of God in the original autographs. This is VPI (Verbal Plenary Inspiration). We have never heard of VPP which is a new and strange teaching that has infiltrated the B-P Church some years ago. We have defended the truth of God's Word and we will continue to do so. We will defend our flock against this teaching of VPP. That is what the original B-P Church is doing today. So who is the original B-P Church? Are we not the ones?

True color
The brown color face brother is good at politic, and the yellow color face brother is good in bussiness, and the black color face is good at philosophy..and the other small brothers have their talents each. They are living in a small long house, so they grumble and grumble, because, their parents did not have enough food, drink and clothing for each of them. Later they separated, and build their own family.
One day I met the black color face brother in the town, he is selling cars in the town this moment, and he smiles to me because he find out that I am sick and weak, he told me, in order to have better life, he said it is better for a man to take more wives, he had 2 wives, and going for the third, he said, more wives, means he can get more services and cares from his wives, and his health is better taken cared by those wives! More wives, he said, longer life. I look at him with a shock. Cultural shock!
Another day, I met with the yellow color face brother, he told me another story, he said, the feng shui teacher and sin sheh in his town, told him, due to the feng shui in the town, the man in this town and the nearest coastal areas are encouraged to take 2 or 3 wives. More wife, more luck, means more money! I look at him with a shame. Cultural shame!
No matter what the color of a snake, to kill a snake, we must strike the head, not the tail, smash the snake's head, the body and tail may continue to move, later it will be stopped. When the head is striked, the snake is finished! No matter how big is the snake, we must strike the head first. Do not just look at the skin color, the vernom is in his feng! Do not just look at the human skin, the evil heart is hidden under his chest, no one know that heart, accept God Himself.

Yes, yes, Yes, 3 times yes!
This is a true story, I heard this, and I am telling you now, once upon a time, there were 3 big brothers in a family, there were other small brothers....
All brothers can speaks the same native language, the first brother is called the "yellow colored face," the second brother called "brown colored face." And the third brother is called the "black colored face."
One day, three of them went to see the head man for favor and asking the head man for helps and protections, the head man likes the brown color faced brother very much, but he dislikes the other colored brothers especially the “yellow colored face”.
The head man summons all three brothers together, and he spoke like this, "We are for peace, we are one family, we must be united, we care for one another, we are fair and just, clean, fast and right, we can, we did, we can do, we will do, we have done...we are good and we are mighty, we are one."
After long lecture with the three brothers, the head man let them went home and promised each of them helps, money, protections and favors.
Silently, the head man ordered all his officers, his armies, his spies, his labor men, the head man said, "If the yellow colored face brother came to ask any thing or any favor from you, you must say, yes, yes, yes, 3 times yes, ok, ok, ok, 3 times OK, but you do not do anything for him or give him anything. Just do nothing."
And then he continue, "If the black colored face brother came to ask any thing or any favor from you, you must say, yes, yes, yes, you said 3 times yes, ok, ok, ok, 3 times ok, but you do not do anything for him or give him anything. Just do nothing."
And the head man continues, 'If the brown colored face brother came to ask any thing or any favor from you, you must say, yes, yes, yes, 3 times yes, ok, ok, ok, 3 times ok, but you must give everything he wanted from you, if he ask any favor from you, you must give him every favor and if he asked any help from you, you must give him every help you can give. Just do everything." The head man asked, "Understand?" The men under him said, "We understood, master!"
This is called the three stooges with different colored faced. It happened here and now, believe it or not? The head man said with a brown greedy face, he said “You asked for it!”
May I know your face color? And what is the color of your heart, darken, brownish, reddish, yellowish? What English version, you are reading! ESV, are you OK or not? Same kind of rice can be fed to hundred races of human, but still they cannot be united, becuase they had diffirent heart and mind. Understood? Even you have a perfect Book, and you will still be quarreling all the time!
