RobinKorevaar - thank you for the reply but unfortunately, it seems you did not address the concerns I raised excepting a few here and there about the "dominion over sin" quotes. They were not taken out of context and Vinson was not speaking of the future, he was referencing himself and talking to his disciples, letting them know that for them, "the day comes" when they too can gain dominion over sin. As Vinson said: "If Jesus Christ is in you, that's what's in you!"
It appears to me, that you are seeing this the way you wish to see it and I understand that to a point; It is hard to be totally objective about what a person says when there is emotional investment in a group such as IWWB. I see you did not address the issue of Mike kicking people out of the group when I showed you evidence of him admitting that very thing.
Further, here are direct quotes regarding financial transparency. As rrmoderator says, your admission is enough for an outsider to see that there is a lack of interest in safeguards however, these quotes should give anyone interested further clarification on how matters of finance are handled:
Quote
Mitchell Kuhn - IWWB elder
If we have the Spirit of God within us, then we do not need to have a highly structured system to collect and distribute money...
Quote
Mitchell Kuhn - IWWB elder
I also don't see any need to have ministers of the Gospel report the gifts they get, as I said on the recording...
Quote
Mitchell Kuhn - IWWB elder
If anyone has questions about a minister's management of the gifts he gets, then go to him directly and he should be honest about his financial situation. So much of what I thought before was rooted in fear and worry about the flesh. I was looking for a system of checks and balances to keep us on the narrow way, rather than relying on the Spirit of God to make us act as one body...
Quote
Mitchell Kuhn - IWWB elder
If we are going to be unified, it will not be by any physical systems or structure we set up. The mind of Christ in us will keep us unified.

From what I understand, David Turnbull, a now "former" IWWB elder has left (or was removed?) [from] the group because he was pushing for transparency and for safeguards. Vinson did what he always does in that he publicly gave his side of the argument and flamed Turnbull, released his (Turnbull's) emails and decided the matter before it was aired to the "laity."
Perhaps you can shed some light on what went down RobinKorevaar?
