- FARMINGTON HILLS, Michigan - An upcoming Book of Acts study
CD distributed by the Assemblies of God will contain several
Bible study materials taken from BibleStudy.org, reported Webmaster
Alan Ruth.
- The denomination's National Youth Ministries Emailed the
Web site in March requesting permission to include some of its
Apostle Paul-related Web pages on their CD. BibleStudy.org had
just added a new section dedicated to Apostle Paul's life and
ministry located at www.biblestudy.org/apostlepaul/main.html.
- According to Mr. Ruth, the church wrote they were "excited
about the depth of information" the site housed regarding
Paul and that this information was the best they've been able
to find. Referrals to visit BibleStudy.org will be included on
the CDs.
- The BibleStudy.org Web site attracts 2.1 million visitors
a year and since its 1995 debut it has averaged a 250% yearly
increase in the volume of study materials requested by
the public.

- A WORD FROM INSPIRATIONAL FAMILY RADIO BOISE
ID:
- KSPD/llll1
KBXL and KSPD Background In formation
- One of the goals of Lee and Beth Schafer since their marriage
in 1970, was to own a radio station. Lees interest in radio
began as a ten-year old boy when he received his amateur radio
license. He later worked at the campus radio station during his
college days. After enrolling in seminary in Kansas City, he
worked for the Bott family at KCCV.
- In 1983 their dream became a reality when they purchased
KSPD am. Six years later they also acquired KBXL FM. Lee has
a thirty-year background in Christian radio. Beth has been a
professor of business at a Christian liberal arts college and
today divides her time between the radio stations and George
Fox Universitys Boise campus.
- The mission statement of the company is to glorify
God by providing inter­denominational Christ-centered family
programming. They believe local commercial ownership affords
expeditious decisions. All 24-hour stations specialize in Christian
Talk programming which serve a wider listening audience through
more diversified programs within the pale of Christian
orthodoxy.

Dear James,
Just a brief response to your letter and the materials you
sent.Thanks for the information on your current exposure of a
cult on Christian radio (KBRT). Even though your draft is unfinished,
you have made a good case. While it is not obvious in the Born
to Win program, Ronald Darts ministry and theology
are clearly an extension of the Armstrong cult (Herbert W. and
Garner Ted). There can be no other conclusion--Ronald L Dart
and his Christian Educational Ministries represent a cult. The
doctrines which you list are the same as those of H. W. Armstrong.
If the Worldwide Church cf God under Armstrongs leadership
was a cult so is this organization. I have a number of books
in my library exposing Armstrongs heresies Walter
Martin, The Kingdom of the Cults; Armstrongism, Robert L. Sumner;
Armstrongs 300 Errors Exposed, S. E. Anderson; The Armstrong
Empire, Joseph Hopkins -- to name a few)
Ronald L. Darts tape, Can Man 3eccme God,
makes a clear connection between his theology and that of Herbert
W. Armstrong (as you mentioned, he even credits H.W.A. as the
source) - On this doctrine I have enclosed a chapter from Roger
?. Campbells book, Will Herbert W. Armstrong Become
God? Hell is made a joke in the presentation. The teaching
that God is a familynot a orinity-and that one is
born again at the resurrection were taught by Armstrong.
Dart characterizes the orthodox view of the believers position
as being a ~spiritua1 iapdcg. More observations could
be made.
I have enclosed an article that will be interest to you:
"Ye Are God? Orthodox and Heretical Views on the Deification
of Man."
- Keep up the good work.
- Sinerely in Christ,
- Edmond

- Dear Mr. Crawford,
- You do not know me, but I thought it was necessary for ma
to write this letter. I was a professor at Los Angeles Baptist
Collage (since 1985, The Masters Collage, Dr. John MacArthur,
president) for 36 years, most of that time as chairperson of
the History Department. I also taught courses dealing with cults
and the occult (Religions of America). I have written a number
of books and articles on these subjects. My book Cults and the
Occult (rev, ad 2002) has been in print since 1974. I am also
a contributing writer for the christian Research Journal. My
interest in this area of study began after I becam. a Christian
and Left the Jehovahs Witnesses.
- Over the last few years I have been in contact with James
Kieferdorf and have received much of hia research dealing with
many of the splinter groups which are related to the Worldwide
Church of God, founded by Herbert W. Armstrong. I would affirm
that Kieferdorf is one of the most well­informed researchers
on this topic. His concern is that by airing programs of organizations,
when examined rnore closely are actually a cult, people are deceived.
This deception is enhanced when programs to promote their ministry
are placed among wall-known evangelical ministers and ministries.
- I have read James Kieferdozfs letters to various broadcast
networks and after reading further supporting documentation,
I must agree with all that he writes concerning Ron L.Dart and
Christian Educationa1 Ministries. I have also read a letter written
by Kieferdorf to Dart, and Dart's reply, which clearly establishes
him as being in the doctrinal tradition of Herbert W Armstrong
(d.1998). In the past many evangelical writers included Armstrong
and his WWCG in their books on cults. Kieferdorf's letter summarizes
many of the Dart's non-biblical teachings.
- (Thank God that the parent organization, the WWCG, moved
away from Axmstrongs theology, eventually joining the N.A.E.)
- While in our country everyone has freedom of religious expression,
Darts program does not belong on Christian radio or TV
where trusting people are being mislead. I will make one final,
observation. While there are a number of doctrinal differences,
having Ron Darts program on your network is equivalent
to giving acceptance to a program by the Jehovahs Witnesses.
- My prayer is that you will, investigate what Kieferdorf has
written and documented and will do what is right.
- Sincerely in Christ,
- Edmond C Gruss.

- Dear Brother Crawford:
- I am writing about Ron Darts Born to Win
program on your network. Mr. James Kieferdorf has written/called
you and/or your organization repeatedly about this program, I
believe.
- Enclosed is a copy of our September-October 2005 issue of
the magazine we publish (and have for
40 years), The Biblical Evangelist. Also enclosed is a photocopy
of the letter I sent Dr. Wright and
David Cerullo about the Armor of God broadcast on the Inspiration
Network.
- The second paragraph of the letter gives my background as
an authority in this particular area. The copy of our magazine,
on pages 8 and 9, where after repeated and earnest entreaties
by Mr. Kieferdorf were ignored, I published something to put
the heat on. Shortly thereafter the Inspiration Net­work
dropped the Armor of God broadcast.
- I say kindly, not as a threat, I turst I will not need to
do so in your case. I am giving Mr. Kieferdorf every opportunity
to succeed as a Christian brother, but it all else fails I will
do my part publicly with another item in TBE.
- I preached at Kings College years ago when Percy was serving
as president. And, for what its worth (probably not much),
Wheaton College recently listed us as one of the two periodicals
best representing Fundamentalism.
- With every good wish for your prosperity in your Christian
outreach, I am,
- Sincerely yours for souls,
Robert L. Sumner

- THE FALSE DOCTRINE OF RONLD L. DART "BORN TO WIN"
- Herbert W.Armstrong Splinter Group
- From his Bible Lesson #3 Mystery of the Gods:
- How many Gods are there?
Knowing God: The Mystery of the Gods
"Born to Win"
Daily Radio Program
by Ronald L. Dart
Click here to listen to:
- RealAudio
Ronald L. Dart: In the last lesson we made a start on understanding
the nature and being of God. In that lesson, we dealt with the
apparent conflict between the Old Testament, that insists that
there is only one God, and the New Testament that tells us that
there are two who are called God.
- In the early centuries after Christ, some theologians concluded
that God was a "Trinity," that He existed as three
in one. Neither the word "trinity" nor any direct suggestion
of a divine Trinity is found in the Bible, but they reasoned
that it had to be so. They concluded that God is one being, composed
of three persons. The semantic discussions revolving around this
are endless. Is God one person with three modes of existence?
Is God one individual with three faces?
- Everything about the doctrine of the Trinity seems designed
to turn God into a mystery, an enigma that man cannot understand.
And what a man cannot understand, he cannot relate to. Yet God
intends that man not only know and understand Him, He intends
that man relate to Him....
- More Examples in lesson4.htm
- 65. If the Holy Spirit is a person, why is it
not the father of Jesus? (Luke 1:35) ...
- Free Tape offer:
- The word "Trinity" is not in the pages of your
Bible, so what lies behind the widely held belief a mysterious,
incomprehensible, triune God? Listen as Ronald L. Dart explains
why the true nature of God is much easier to understand than
the mystery of a trinity.

- 1978: Garner Ted Armstrong (GTA) is marked and disfellowshipped
from the WCG on June 26th. Several reasons are given for his
ouster, including allegedly trying to divert church mail in attempt
to steal funds for his personal use and giving the media misleading
and distorted information about his father (HWA). On August 5th
he gives his first message after leaving the WCG, where he discusses
his expulsion and explains "his side" of the story.
You can listen to Part 1 or Part 2 of this historic message,
which is in MP3 format.
GTA quickly forms the Church of God, International (CGI), with
headquarters in Tyler, Texas. The CGI soon becomes the largest
split of the WCG and reaches a peak income of around 5 million.
Other WCG splits around the early to mid-1990's, however, begin
to surpass CGI in members and money.
- Ronald Dart, an evangelist in the WCG, voluntarily leaves
them and joins the CGI. He would become CGI's vice-president.
His first message in CGI, given September 23rd, discusses his
departure from the WCG.

- Dear Mr. Cerullo:
- Grace and Peace to you in Christ Jesus.
- I am writing to warn you of the anti-Trinitarian--and hence
anti-Christian--doctrines being promoted by Dr. Roderick C. Merediths
Living Church of God, through his Tomorrows World program,
which you broadcast over your network. You can read the heretical
nature of these teachings on Dr. Merediths Living Church
of God and Tomorrows World website.
- Dr. Meredith unequivocally teaches and promotes the doctrines
of the late Herbert W. Armstrong.
- PLEASE, for Jesus sake, do something about stopping
this heresy from making further inroads where young, weak and/or
immature Christians are influenced by it. It has no place in
any Christian ministry.
- I and other evangelicals would like to know whether Inspiration
Network reads prospective programmers doctrinal statements/beliefs
before allowing them air time? It is frustrating to continually
see unorthodox groups mixed with fine evangelical Bible teachers.
- We as believers of the cardinal doctrines of the faith, pray
and urge you to remove this program from your network before
many others are also mislead.
- Sincerely in Christ,

Subj. Good News Broadcasting/KGMS 940AM Promotes Armstrongism
Date: 4/18/2006 8:09:38 AM Central Daylight Time / (4
From: Rushtyping
To: pastormar@calvaryphx.com
- /
Dear Pastor Mark:
- Grace and Peace to you in Christ Jesus.
- am writing to warn you of the anti-Trinitarian and hence
anti-Christian doctrines being promoted by the UCGAIA through
their Beyond Today program which airs on the same station your
program airs,
KGMS 940AM.
- The UCGAIA unequivocally teaches and promotes many of the
doctrines of the late Herbert W. Armstrong.
- This is verified by the personal correspondence departments
email to me dated January 9, 2006.
- Dear James,
Thank you for your interest in our doctrinal beliefs. It
is apparent that you have read a great deal of material from
our website. The doctrinal beliefs of the United Church of God
differ from those held by evangelicals. For the most part, your
assessments are accurate.
You asked if we believe and teach the same as the late Herbert
W. Armstrong did. Most of the ministers and members of the United
Church of God were formerly associated with the Worldwide Church
of God (WCG) that was founded and led by Mr. Armstrong, One of
the primary reasons for our beginning was a desire to continue
the teachings and practices of the church under his lea dership
Approximately 150 ministers formerly associated with the
WCG came together to organize the United Church of God in May
1995. In the early 1990s, the leadership of the WCG departed
from the churchs traditional beliefs and practices. By
late 1994, they actively began to impose their change of belief
upon the entire church. Unable to dissuade the leadership from
this course, hundreds of elders and thousands of members left
or WCG ministers excommunicated them
You will immediately recognize the same biblical message
Mr. Armstrong taught when you read our magazine and booklets.
However, we should note that Mr. Armstrong himself constantly
grew in knowledge. Similarly, you may well find minor changes
in our teachings, reflecting better research tools that bring
out previously unseen nuances. But the foundation is the same
as it was in the Church of God decades ago.
- Pastor Mark, I have tried on two different occasions to warn
KGMS President Mr. Doug Martin. I sent him an email dated December
28, 2005 and a seven page follow-up letter documenting many of
the UCGs unorthodox teachings on February 27, 2006. I have
received no response.
- My concern is that by airing programs of organizations, when
examined more closely are actually a cult, people
are deceived. This deception is enhanced when programs to promote
their ministry are placed among well-known evangelical ministers
and ministries.
- While in our country everyone has freedom of religious expression,
the UCGAIAs program does not belong on Christian radio
or TV where trusting people are being misled.
- Freedom of speech protects pseudo-Christian groups
rights to buy airtime on secular,radio and television. But the
FCC agrees that Christian stations can legitimately establish
criteria based on their religious beliefs that program producers
must meet. There is a relationship of trust between Chrishans
and Christian radio and television stations that the programs
they air are produced by groups that at least meet the basic
criteria of orthodoxy. Otherwise, we will soon have more Armstrong
groups, Jehovahs Witnesses, Mormons, and other counterfeit
Christian organizations using Christian stations to draw unsuspecting
listeners into their folds.
- In closing, having the UCGAIAs program on KGMS is equivalent
to giving acceptance to a program by the Jehovahs Witnesses.
- PLEASE, for Jesus sake, do something about stopping
this heresy from making further inroads where young, weak and/or
immature Christians are influenced by it. It has no place in
any Christian ministry.
- My prayer is that Doug Martin will investigate what I have
written and documented and remove Beyond Today from KGMSs programming
schedule before many others are misled.
- Very respectfully in Christ,
- James Kieferdorf
