GOD Almighty called us to share + teach all that Jesus Christ taught
and died for; the absolute true, full gospel for the salvation
of spirit, soul and body; the true work of GOD's church as
He commanded in His holy word, per our last letter to you Nov 24th 2002.
 
GOD of the Bible clearly explains New Testament methods for church growth
and operation, quite different from the "established" church of today
which follows traditions of man, rather than a daily gathering
for the "teaching of Jesus" Acts2 + 5 which we do to be His true church.
 
GOD, from 1948, used His growth method in Yoido Full Gospel to grow
that Assemblies of GOD church into 760,000 (.76 million) members
to prove His New Testament pattern for global evangelism, a pattern
our church copies; but you deny our designation as a church.
 
GOD, from '88, compels us to replicate His pattern in Yoido, a single
church congregation in Seoul, Korea, through our association
of churches globally that His Spirit converts hearts + minds into
following Jesus Christ the true GOD and Saviour forever.
 
Yours through Christ,
 
 Robert Bristow
 
P.S. We formally requested a Church classification: 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(i).
 
ADDENDUM
 
Ref: 36-4208567
 
GOD's holy word clearly teaches He establishes governments or
ruling authorities in/through this earthly domain for the
purpose of His loving nurture of clans, society, civilizations.
 
GOD never expects these ruling authorities to believe,
participate, understand His authority + work in/through
those choosing to believe and obey His commands.
 
GOD, in fact, has a subtle separation of church and
State that is often seen in the U.S. Constitution, that
enables His followers free expression under the law.
 
GOD's intent through the Framers was/is clearly to free
His church from State governance, rule, sovereignty
and be free to honour, worship GOD as He dictates.
 

Jn4..23 "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
24 "GOD is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

Thank you for upgrading our original request of Oct '98
within 509(a)(1) from religious organization to a church.
 
GOD foreordained His final church in Amos9:11 Acts15:16 Rev3:7-13 for
His final evangelizing of this world that all nations hear His gospel Mat24:14.
 

Amos9..11 "On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old;"
 
Acts15..16 "After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up;"
 
Rev3..7 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens":
8 "I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
9 "Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie--indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

10 "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 "Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.
12 "He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My GOD, and he shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My GOD and the name of the city of My GOD, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My GOD. And I will write on him My new name.
13 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." '

 
Mat24..14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."

 
GOD's specific agenda throughout the Bible is our only mandate; our past,
present and future work of sharing all His truth till the end comes.
 
GOD demanded we copy the 1st century church Mat28:20 Acts2:42-47; 5:42,
even copying Acts20:18-35 who obeyed GOD Rom1:15-18 1Cor1:17; 9:16,27 till death.
 

Mat28..20 "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
 
Acts2..42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,
45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.
46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
47 praising GOD and having favor with all the people. And the LORD added to the church daily those who were being saved.

 
Acts5..42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
 
Acts20..18 And when they had come to him, he said to them: "You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you,
19 "serving the LORD with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews;
20 "how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house,
21 "testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward GOD and faith toward our LORD Jesus Christ.
22 "And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,

23 "except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me.
24 "But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the LORD Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of GOD.
25 "And indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of GOD, will see my face no more.
26 "Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
27 "For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of GOD.
28 "Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of GOD which He purchased with His own blood.
29 "For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 "Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.
31 "Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
32 "So now, brethren, I commend you to GOD and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
33 "I have coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel.
34 "Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me.
35 "I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the LORD Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' "

 

Rom1..15 So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of GOD to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of GOD is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."
18 For the wrath of GOD is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

1Cor1..17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
 
1Cor9..16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!
27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

 
GOD's call upon the writer to copy the early disciples is such that Nov2002
completes 17 years of giving every penny to His ministry through CCCInc.
 
GOD has brought true seekers to become CCCInc. participants who are
likewise working through sharing His gospel that more be networked.
 
GOD's ongoing conviction upon the souls of man will network many
more through Spirit evangelizing work in conjunction with His web site.
 
Yours through Christ,
 
 Robert I. Bristow
