More on the 501-c-3, "Taking NOTHING from the GENTILES, " more reasons TAX EXEMPTION and 501-c-3 is not of God

Taking NOTHING from the GENTILES, Another reason TAX EXEMPTION and #501-c-3 License is Wrong..
[3Jo 1:5-8
5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
6 Which have borne
witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: 7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the #Gentiles.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

The churches of #Jesus Christ are the EXCEPTION in the real world to Governmental Authority. for the Churches to accept that they should submit to the jurisdiction of the state is to abandon her true position of Authority, namely JESUS #CHRIST.

Where should the money come from that Goes into a Local Assembly or to the ministers of God.
1Co 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

Dr Greg Dixon of Indianapolis Baptist Temple told me personally that the issue was not one of EXEMPTION because churches that are truly Churches can not be Taxed, legislated, recognized or licensed by the state in any way, because they are not under the Jurisdiction of the states authority. Simply put the Government of the Church, That is a free New testament church, already has a king and it is NOT CAESAR but rather Christ. it does not need to seek Exemption to taxation because it is an EXCEPTION to being taxed. A Higher power, or conquering power can tax a lower power or subject not vise versa. Do the people of FRANCE, who are french citizens pay tribute or taxes to the Internal Revenue Service of the United States? Do French Citizens get Florida Driver Licenses? NO?

WHY NOT? well because they are of an entirely different jurisdiction. We are Citizens of the Heavenly and only insofar as we seek remedy or privilege here we surrender authority to the governments of this world we abide in. Whereas we may appeal to CAESAR as an individual as PAUL did, the Churches themselves have no authority to do so.
Paul could say he was a ROMAN Citizen by birth because he was BORN physically on EARTH in a city of Roman jurisdiction to FREE parents. THE CHURCH can not say such a thing as it is not born of the WILL of MEN but of GOD and it has no earthly origin but a heavenly one. It has a KING and Sovereign and its members are referred to by that sovereign as his citizens.

The fact is GOD himself has established Civil as well as Church Authority and both are under HIS jurisdiction and not under each others.
[Col 1:16-18
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence.

How many things?

The Church INC. is a Creature of the State under State Authority and Censure. IT is LIMITED by the Authority that created it and not GOD.

This is an issue of DOCTRINAL PURITY and Principle .

An interesting point brought up by Peter Kershaw on this Purity:
"A free-church is a church that is truly separate, independent and autonomous from the State. It is established by a local body of Christian believers, or chartered or "planted" by another church body or denomination, without the permission or sanction of the State. The only "sovereign" of the free-church is the Lord Jesus Christ. A free-church cannot incorporate, it cannot seek a 501c3 status, it cannot become a tax collector for the State (withholding agent), it cannot accept government-issued tax numbers (EIN).

Did you know that a registered agent is not an agent for the Corporation so much as he is an AGENT for the state?

The Pastor of your Church, is he an EMPLOYEE or a PASTOR? A Shepard of a Hireling?
Is Defining pastors/preachers and churches as having an employee and employer relationship is NOT of GOD..

Is your local church a Publican ( a TAX Collector for the State) or is it the BODY of Jesus Christ subject under his sole authority?

hey Just askin...

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. (John 10:10-13)
