I'm sharing a short message here, and I welcome response from even YMBBA members (if they dare): Since the nation in which we live is in moral decline -- possibly even edging toward major civil unrest -- in what way do or should God's people respond or prepare for catastrophe or crisis? Should God's people just cluster in their church groups, or should they reach out to give aid

YMBBA members and preachers are very familiar with christians and christianity. Their group likes to think they have solid christian views. An overwhelming majority of christians disagree with them, and some might even go so far as to say YMBBA offers counterfeit christianity. YMBBA wants you to treat them as brethren in Christ Jesus, but then they also want you to accept their statements that yo

I suggest a campus group of concerned students meeting for times of prayer, at the very least. In addition, discussion and Bible study would be useful. I challenge such a group to discover: What does the Bible teach about spiritual warfare? What are God’s principles for things like witnessing, preaching and recruiting of ‘lost sheep’ into His fold? What character and preparations are necessary in

Observer ... your info is helpful. I feel sorry for students on your campus who encounter these Wells TX 'evangelists'. Your impression of 'very controlling cult' seems correct. My encounters, which are infrequent telephone conversations with some of them, seem to give the same impression. I suppose they are a nuisance at campus because they fail to show proper respect. Am

4everfaithful ... good points. link648099 ... good points, too. The discussion has settled down on this thread. That's the way the folks in Wells like it to be. The discussion on this thread irritated them. Some participants on this thread have gone elsewhere, where they are more free to discuss as they wish. We continue to pray for the ones who are in Wells TX, at the campus of YM

Diane, these are a blessing to me. I focus on prayer and Bible study, so that He might increase and I might decrease. Today, I am reminded of the prayer Jesus prayed for the ones who believe on Him. That prayer is John 17. What a blessing it is to have been prayed for by the Son of God. His love is evident, since we know He is our Mediator, we are confident He continues to pray for us. Althoug

If the Bible were so easy to understand, why would it refer to mysteries? I Cor. 2:7; Rom. 11:25; Eph. 1:9 and many other passages. These discussions on this thread relate to mysteries in Christ Jesus, our Redeemer. When we don't understand -- because we see darkly, as in a glass -- we just need to remind ourselves, what matters most is love coming from God and flowing through us and being s

To me, the request by alightinadarkworld seems odd. Regarding YMBBA, we have available to us written words and videos. These are shown to the public. What is not shown to the public is the many and various messages gotten privately, over the phone or by email. I have gotten these messages from people at YMBBA.

OK, good. The input from Hyth. could be useful in some sense, and yes, it addresses some things about language that I have noticed at the YMBBA website. I’m not here to start trouble. I am committed to living in the sphere of the Truth. III John 4 clearly implies we should live that way. I urge you all to live that way. Especially if you claim to know God, and if you claim to worship Him, you

Folks, it is my humble opinion that several of the recent users, posting to this thread, are members of YMMBA. It appears they are filling this thread with nonsense. I guess they have a lot of time on their hands, and so they think up all kinds of conversations to post on this forum. That would be for the purpose of discrediting this thread, to turn visitors away from this thread, so that this th

JD. Thanks for sharing. You wrote in witness of demons within the campus of the people there in Arlington. My son has testified of demons at the campus of Wells. Any elaborations on these demonic manifestations? For example, any chanting? What about facial expressions which seem demonic? Further, did you witness things that the Bible portrays as demonic (mouth foaming, writhing on the ground, vo

Correction ... for the sake of clarity. On the Wells Texas group's website home page, which is: www.youmustbebornagain.org, you find a link to Cory James Art. His art is not on their website. Only the link to his art is on their site. I was wrong to imply his art is on their website. Please forgive me. The presence of that link implies they have Cory's permission to post

To their credit, the Wells Texas group has removed Paul Washer sermons from their website. All except two of Keith Daniels' sermons are removed, also. This is my thank you to them, for their wise move in this direction. What bothers me, however, is they do not provide any dates with the text accompanying the remaining Keith Daniels sermon links. The viewer is misled to believe the group&

Paul Washer has good stuff to say in that message! I said some of the same things to my son, many months ago, before he went to Texas. The group in Wells, Texas would do well to listen carefully to Paul's message at the link supplied by Justin07. Please soften your hearts.

It seems the moderator is asking for validation of these ten points, correct? In other words, we should question whether or not this really is a cult, and the evidence of it being a cult is when most or all of these ten points are answered as affirmative, rather than negative. Is that the question from our moderator? It's a good question.
