  We received the following e-mail from one seeking to follow Torah. She received the e-mail in black below from First Missionary Church of Ft. Wayne , Indiana :

 

“Hi!  I got the following email Sunday morning.  This email is all over the deity of Jesus... and may be alluding to my lifestyle of Torah submission.  They don't know that I am no longer a Christian!!  I don't even want to think about their reaction to that fact!!

Obviously, it made me angry due to the false acusations and how they got their mis-information.  They interrogated my best friend...but she's the person that told them in the first place cause she was "trying to help" me.  I talked to her today and she told me that they will be treating me according to I Cor 5 because I am "slandering the name of Jesus" by not believing that he is YHWH, and she agrees with them.  Then she gave me an "assignment" to tell her what Col 2 means.  I'm debating as to tell her what I really believe: that the NT has not governance upon my life any longer so I really don't care what Paul had to say cause he was simply recreating a mystic religion and Jesus was not Messiah cause YHWH does not accept human sacrifice...

So this is what is happening here.  Her name is (name withheld by request) (she is biologically a Jew but doesn't care) and her husband is (name withheld by request) .  I know that YHWH has caused them both to doubt the trinity before and I know that He has been calling them, but she is hardening her heart and I don't know what (name withheld by request)  is doing.

Thank you for your support, care and love!!!

Subject: The elders have agreed to the following action, unanimously and deliberately:

1.   We are revoking your membership at First Missionary   Church  because of your disagreement with our doctrinal position on the deity of Christ and doctrine of the Triune God, beliefs which you previously affirmed.

2.    You may not take communion and may attend FMC only if you agree not to discuss your heretical beliefs while here.

3.    Before God, we ask you not to mislead the flock for which we are responsible through conversations away from FMC.

4.    The process for restoration would involve renouncing and repenting of these heretical beliefs (and any other related practices), affirming the deity of Christ and the Trinity, and seeking reconciliation with specific persons harmed by your heresy and practices. Your repentance would have to be given public expression.

5.   Our true desire and prayer is for your restoration. We will be encouraging the Body to relate to you and pray for you as an unbeliever, as we are instructed in I Corinthians 5.

6.    Further action by the elders may be necessary. 

(name withheld by request)  for the elders.
